Dirk_Darkly, to greentext in Wisdom from the Wild Side

On 4chan? That’s crazy.

Dirk_Darkly, to privacyguides in It seems Gen Z is just fine with parents knowing where they are all the time

No, you love it.

Dirk_Darkly, to news in 'Too dangerous:' Why even Google was afraid to release this technology

It would be less awkward to pull out a phone, take a picture of someone and pull up their info, adding their biometric data to some random company’s servers (possibly against their wishes) instead of just asking what their name is? Seems way less awkaward and more reasonable to just say she has facial ephasia than do all that.

Dirk_Darkly, to piracy in I’m sorry, but I cannot help you with finding pirated movies. Piracy is illegal and unethical 😉

Where did corps get the idea that we want our software to be incredibly condescending?

Dirk_Darkly, to news in Las Vegas police arrest man in Tupac Shakur drive-by shooting case

They’ll release information on JFK and aliens, but this Tupac shit has to stay buried forever.

Dirk_Darkly, to nostupidquestions in What's with ~employers~ scammers using secure messengers for hiring these days?

WhatsApp is a bit different since many countries use that instead of SMS. Suppose it depends on the culture of where you’re applying. Always pays to use caution though.

Dirk_Darkly, to nostupidquestions in What's with ~employers~ scammers using secure messengers for hiring these days?

It’s a pretty common scam. Legit employers do not communicate through those services.

Dirk_Darkly, to technology in California bill to have human drivers ride in autonomous trucks is vetoed by governor

No, but I have sat in a traffic jam caused by a human driver who caused a multiple car pile up because they wanted to be slightly ahead.

Dirk_Darkly, to games in Todd Howard says Starfield mod support is on the way next year

After playing their games for many years, I’m not convinced their tools are working.

Dirk_Darkly, to gaming in Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored'

Imagine it in five years when the modding scene has popped off though. It could truly be something spectacular. Which is frankly the only saving grace of Bethesda games. They’re a solid sandbox/framework for others to fill in.

Dirk_Darkly, to meanwhileongrad in Tankies mocking 9/11 -- "America deserves 9/11"

Not to mention the attacks were a result of the US meddling in foreign affairs.

Dirk_Darkly, to gaming in Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored'

This is a nice sentiment, but it falls apart when you realize that a lot of the exploration is procedurally generated POI that eventually copies not just assets, but layouts and granular details. That tends to detract from a sense of wonder and mystery.

Which is fine, if they would just embrace that instead of trying to change how people perceive their work.

Dirk_Darkly, to starfield in 15 hours in, I'm loving it!

The performance is really something they need to figure out. Granted it’s not Fallout 4 with unavoidable micro stuttering, but it’s absurd that I get better performance in something like Cyberpunk with ray tracing and high/ultra settings.

Dirk_Darkly, to piracy in What are good mullvadvpn alternatives with port forwarding

You might want to add the proper context that the servers were siezed by authorities (so not stolen) and they were very transparent about the fact that it was a legacy system. They also followed with a plan to rectify, including third part audits. Every organization makes mistakes, it’s how they respond that matters.

If you’re looking for a VPN provider that hasn’t had issues ever in their history, good luck. You’ll just end up with the ones who lie and cover up incidents.

You can add Windscribe to that list. They’ve been shown to respect customers and offer port forwarding.
