DarraignTheSane, to nostupidquestions in Why do Americans answer the phone with "Gopher"?
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty sure it’s an old businessman thing. “Go for (my name)!” in a cock-sure tone is pretty much how I would expect any old business hot-shot asshole to answer the phone.

DarraignTheSane, to asklemmy in looking for a game that i only can remember description of
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

Don’t know about ‘battle royal’, but are you talking about Battlebit?

Or in the battle royale genre, there’s TAB:

DarraignTheSane, to news in Starlink has become the 'blood' of Ukraine's communication infrastructure, but officials are reportedly growing concerned about relying on Elon Musk's tech
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, well, “designed to run over the internet”. Okay then. I guess no ISP has ever been able to MitM intercept traffic.

@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not saying this is happening, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if we found out that Musk was leaking any and all traffic from Starlink, including Ukraine military comms, in the name of “”“free speech”“”.

DarraignTheSane, to politics in News: Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to build a new agency to police Big Tech
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I’m not even sure which option I’m in favor of. It’s a shit situation all around.

“Corporate self governance” doesn’t exist. Whatever fucks the consumer for more profit is the only rule they follow.

DarraignTheSane, (edited ) to technology in Brave will not add Web Integration support
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

Brave users remind me of Joe Rogan bros. I wonder what that Venn diagram looks like.

DarraignTheSane, to games in Help finding an old text based game
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

You realize there was a good decade between the first home PC games and the time when computer mice became ubiquitous, right? You’re going to have to say something about the game other than “text based”, because that’s no more descriptive than “mouse based” or “gamepad based”.

@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

It’s either something like this, or you trust big tech corporations to police themselves. Do you have a 3rd option?

DarraignTheSane, to asklemmy in Wheelchair users
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

If by “well maintained grass” you’re talking about a flat, maintained sports field or something of the sort, likely yes. If you mean grass that’s been cut but the ground is otherwise natural with bumps and holes, then you’ll probably have problems.

It does depend on the chair, but most are not built for off-roading. Also will depend on if you’re the pusher or if you’re talking about propelling yourself (as the wheelchair occupant).

DarraignTheSane, to asklemmy in Those with parents who hold opposite political views than you, how do you go about disagreeing?
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

But also know that understanding isn’t always going to bring resolution. Sometimes all you come to understand is that the people who raised you are, in actuality, thoroughly racist.

DarraignTheSane, to asklemmy in Those with parents who hold opposite political views than you, how do you go about disagreeing?
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

I wish I could find it easier to simply ignore my aging parents’ political views like I do with most acquaintances in the deep red state I live in, but I can’t.

The people who raised me to be kind and emphasize with others now base their worldview in fear and hatred. As far as I’m concerned my parents died sometime around 2016 (or perhaps before then), and there are some kind of racist pod people in their place.

DarraignTheSane, to gaming in Anglers rejoice: Sega is giving out free Steam keys for Sega Bass Fishing, the Sega Dreamcast bass fishing classic
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

“its own folder” = Trash

DarraignTheSane, (edited ) to reddit in /r/place going full-on French Revolution now
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

I mean you could (though it’s not recommended, because fuck reddit) just type “new.reddit.com/(whatever)” in order to load new reddit for just that one tab. But don’t do that and don’t participate in r/place, because fuck reddit.

DarraignTheSane, to selfhosted in Should I be aware of something when buying a TV?
@DarraignTheSane@lemmy.world avatar

When it comes to Samsung, look at their “Pro” TVs, which are intended for businesses to use for digital signage. I’ve never had to deal with any of the very few smart features it has popping up or annoying me in any way.

I’m no expert on picture quality but it looks damned good to me, and it’s supposedly built to run 24/7 and not burn out since as said it’s intended for digital signage.
