  • [PSA] 2.4g Controllers and interference with USB 3 ports (e.g. docks)

    Jump

  • It's my first 2.4g device, so that was totally new to me. It also wasn't exactly the first hit on any search I tried.

    I'm glad that the fix was at least cheap and simple and I didn't have to return the controller.

  • The PlayStation Network outage proves PC gamers were right to resist its mandatory sign-in requirement

  • If steam goes under, a significant portion of your steam games won't launch anymore, period. If GOG goes under, you can still use 100% of their installers, provided you still have them backed up. No, they are not going to be able to do that step for you. Did the store you bought physical games from put your discs in storage for you, so they wouldn't clog up your basement? Did they give you a new copy if you lost or threw out your disc and then changed your mind?

  • What's the wrongest thing a teacher ever told you?

    Jump

  • My English teacher (in Germany) did not know the word "evil". She concluded I meant to say "devil", but then the whole sentence didn't make sense anymore, so she deducted even more points for that.

  • Open source projects are too dogmatic for their own good

  • It annoys me to no end whenever MS word does that.

  • Steam Ate Microsoft's Lunch On PC, It's About To Do The Same On Handhelds

    Jump

  • (Near) Monopolies are just inherently bad. Steam will enshittify further, like all the others. Let's talk again after Gabe kicks the bucket.

  • What is a human behaviour you've never understood?

    Jump

  • It's an acquired taste. As a kid you might just want to look cool drinking beer. By the time that passes (if it does), the bitterness doesn't taste quite as bitter anymore, and other tastes come through. Same for spirits and the burning sensation.

  • It's obviously child Jesus. It's not "Christ's child", it's "Christ (the) child".

  • Looking back as an adult the origin is clearly racist. But since I sung that in kindergarden myself: We didn't associate "black man" with a person of colour. When I was 4, I was imagining some creep in a black trenchcoat.

  • Have you ever been an exchange student or known one? What was it like, and how did it go?

    Jump

  • A friend hosted one when we were 17 or 18. He was from the USA and had never had beer before. One of these nights he hid under a parking car when he saw a police car approaching. Fun times.

  • When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?

    Jump

  • and I distinctly said that it should be "a right"

    Yes, you did, but you said it as part of an answer to the question "why are landlords considered parasites?", and you explained that those who own more homes than they can live in are parasites. The logical conclusion (would be that it should be outlawed to be a landlord.

    So, how am I to understand that? Should there be a quota, an acceptable amount of parasites so to speak?

  • People own apartments too. If you can't own more than one home, surely apartments would also be covered by that?

  • If that means the government subsidises it for the low income families (as in owns them and rents them at below market value), so be it.

    Not everybody who doesn't want to buy is low income. I'm too lazy / risk averse to maintain everything myself, so I happily pay my landlord a reasonable premium to bear the risk of shit burning down (or breaking in less dramatic ways) for me. I also like that I would be able to pack up and move without worrying about selling my old place. I might change my mind later on, but right now I'm good.

    Why should governments subsidize the lifestyle choice I'm consciously making?

  • You assume that everybody wants to own and that just isn't the case.
