Amazing detail, a resin allergy, and cancer
Balvarez··on I was bored so I turned my dev tools into an alien planet ruled by my dog
I love the style it looks really good! nice work
Balvarez··on US employers spend more than $1.5B a year to fight labor unions, report finds
Your probably a normal guy making a comment in good faith, but I can't help but think this is the exact sort of dark marketing that I would do if I was an anti union commenter/marketer. Attack the vague made up values of union members because you can't attack the fact that large companies have been anti-worker for awhile and most people believe that. I'll also add onto here that if this comment gets down voted into the dirt, I'm likely right. Also let me be clear, I'm not attacking your comment but what sort of comment would be most-likely amplified by anti-union forces.
Balvarez··on The quiet renovation at Bitwarden
Omg, do we really need to make another app suck? I left last pass years ago, I'll leave again but wow I'm tired of this cycle. Private equity is truly the destroyer of value. The next time will be self hosted. Anyone know of a password manager that can encrypte and live in say Google drive?
Balvarez··on A nicer voltmeter clock
The build itself is absolutely wonderful! This part is totally my hangup, but a second hand that has to reset bugs me to no end. :/
Balvarez··on Show HN: Destiny – Claude Code's fortune Teller skill
for what it's worth I think this is fun. I'm not into this sort of thing but it's fun none the less.
Balvarez··on The creative software industry has declared war on Adobe
lol adobe has fought off these tool for years, sadly it's just better and i hate it. Adobe's real threat is generative AI. While it's not there yet it will be. I should mention I'm a creative professional.

* anyone who thinks Maxon is any better than adobe should re-think that. They really hosed Z-Brush users

Let's aquire software that people love using... and then kill what they love about it!!
Balvarez··on Affinity Studio now free
We see that people people love you Affinity software! Lets buy it and stop doing what people love about it!
Balvarez··on Preschoolers can reason better than we think, study suggests
I agree with this so much. Imo a lot of the far right's argument is based on reducing "waste" Which they promptly redefine as "profit" and now everything is fixed.
Balvarez··on AAA Gaming on Asahi Linux
Nice so is this full Linux possibly running on an iPad, or just desk top?
Balvarez··on Autism makes travel a challenge. Here’s how I learned to cope
You may be autistic, but also you might not. You definetely have something going on! :)
Balvarez··on Read Google's memo warning employees to 'think again'
While it is within Google's rights to do what they did. I find myself less and less inclined to use Google's products.
Balvarez··on Show HN: I made a new sensor out of 3D printer filament for my PhD
Wow that's super cool! Very nice work
Balvarez··on The Reddits
Entitled mods... you mean the people who work for free to make reddit work? I'm not a mod and I don't have very strong opinion of reddit moderators one way or another (many do), but I think reddit would do well not to make mods angry. They are an unpaid work force.
Balvarez··on Drones are the new drug mules
wow that's super cool thanks!
Balvarez··on Drones are the new drug mules
I suspect sub/boat drones have been used in the water for a long time. Seems like it would be relatively easy.

Balvarez··on Reddit Threatens to Remove Moderators from Subreddits Continuing Blackouts
The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago and the second best time is now. I for one will be moving off Reddit to the fediverse. Is it as good as Reddit?... no, but it could be better.
Balvarez··on Reddit Doubles Down
I always thought reddit was smarter than this. They were really born out of the ashes of digg and for a long time they remembered that. At this point they're in decline I don't think the bleeding will stop. Lots of young people already had a negative view of reddit and now redditors have a negative view of reddit too. I hope we can make a home in the fediverse I'm tired of giving my data to large corps with no recourse.
Balvarez··on Wearing an eye mask during sleep improves episodic learning and alertness
Couldn't they just not tell the percipient what they were testing. Then you wouldn't know that someone else had a mask or didn't. That would remove the placebo effect.
Balvarez··on Steam Deck: First Anniversary
I'll be the minority here and say for me it is the current ultimate gaming machine. I love that it runs Linux. It's convenient, runs my already purchased library of games and is consumer friendly for modding. On the other hand my PS5 is gathering dust.
Balvarez··on Google is shutting down Stadia
I knew this would shutdown from launch. Even so, I'm becoming less & less likely to trust Google products. Funny they are even refunding game purchases, the right thing to do, but it's still burning brand capital for me. I used to be a huge google fan. I'm typing this on a Google pixel, but I'm reconsidering all Google products I use
Balvarez··on We haven’t killed 90% of all plankton
Well I'm glad to see a refute a day later. Much better than nothing
Balvarez··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone
I'd love a smart phone that... - is android - is small - has a headphone jack - has a great camera(on the back) - has a removable SD card - has a removable battery Currently, my next phone will be a Sony as it checks more boxes than any other phone.
