Norgur, to lemmyshitpost in Bad day

I could have sworn that this was her armpit from the back

Norgur, to linux in Steam Linux Marketshare Surges To Nearly 2% In November

Can we talk about the definition of a "surge", please!

Norgur, to memes in Stats

The number of skeletons inside of a human body is statistically greater than 1.

Norgur, to privacyguides in Brave appears to install VPN Services without user consent

Okay, this article makes it sound like they found some hidden thing deep in obscure windows settings about brave doing something bad.

On truth, they just installed Windows Services for their VPN to enable users to use the service. That's what many apps do for dozens of reasons.

I dislike Brave as much as the next guy, but let's stick to things they really fuck up and not make Up issues that aren't there.

Norgur, to linuxmemes in Oh boy, goodie!

In the middle of our screen

Norgur, to piracy in After 23 years, developer reveals he snuck a cheat code past Sony that turns a cult-classic horror game into a godsend for retro enthusiasts

Because scalpers expected this to be in demand after the news broke and set their bots to buy every cheap copy by unknowing private sellers in order to create a oligopoly and heavily gauge pricing

Norgur, to piracy in OpenSubtitles.org is shutting down it's previous API. Now only authenticated access allowed.

See, I get when YouTube or some such are asking for some kind of payment, since transcoding and delivering all those large video files is expensive as fuck. Yet, Open subtitles delivers text. Fucking. Text. The rest is done for them for free by the users. No, folks. You ain't getting any money.

Norgur, (edited ) to comicstrips in Offering solutions is annoying

For anyone struggling with this, two hints that might help you frame your role better:

  1. Listening is the solution. By trying to solve what your SO told you, you are actually trying to solve the wrong problem. Their real problem is that their brain needs to say things aloud to someone in order to correctly process it's own thoughts. Therapists make a frickin' living off of that quirk of our brains and it's the actual problem they come to you with. Even better: By listening you can not only advise on solutions, you can be the solution! Neat, huh?
  2. Listening and solving aren't mutually exclusive. If you stick to listening first, your SO might actually come to a point where your advice is wanted. Pro tip: Once their thoughts slow down, ask if they want to hear what you think about the issue. From my experience, the answer will be "yes" very often. That way, your thoughts will actually reach your SO and not get blocked by frustration outright. Yet, as with everything else: No means no. So if you get a no, don't try again, shut the fuck up, alright?
Norgur, to lemmyshitpost in this AI thing

It's almost as if the LLMs that got hyped to the moon and back are just word calculators doing stochastic calculations one word at a time... Oh wait...

No, seriously: all they are good for is making things sound fancy.

Norgur, to lemmyshitpost in Male Loneliness

Oh, so now this is a novel idea? I tried to do a study on that and was thrown out of the waterpark alltogether for being a pervert and a creep... I was trying to save men with shower-science, you buffoons!

Norgur, to memes in But cat domesticated us

I like OP's version better, so that's what is fact now.

Norgur, to comicstrips in The Door

That's why it had an aeroplane, duh!

Norgur, to mildlyinteresting in Ancient Iran had air conditioning

Yeah, the thing is the "unpowered" part. Look how much energy an AC chugs to achieve that cooling. This tower uses wind power to do it's thing.

Norgur, to science_memes in On the other timeline...

Those barbaric Brits let it stand out in the open, so untill they learn how to take proper care of it, we have declared ourselves unilaterally to be the guardians of the monument and so we're absolutely justified in taking it.
