Whistle goes, “Woo, woo,” but that’s only in the mo’ning.
- Comment on YOU. 5 days ago:
Stream quality was worthwhile during pandemic. I participated in quite a few movie/TV nights streaming to a few friends on Discord.

Ah yes, story we hear every week outta murica, them white folks, shooting their automatic assault rifles at the cops and getting away with it
I’m not saying it’s the same but the Bundy standoff comes to mind as a recent example where a buncha good ol’ white boys barricaded themselves in a compound, and they weren’t bombed. They didn’t fire upon cops but they did imply that they were ready to if they were raided.
- Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 2 weeks ago:
I thought the Boring Company was more about pretending to want to dig holes to stifle public transit in order to bolster EV sales… Am I mistaken?
- Comment on I used to be with it, then they changed what "it" is 5 weeks ago:
Pogs are pretty pwn.

I saw. Barbaric!

“unlabeled houses?”
Ehat kinda neighbourhood did you grow up in where people couldn’t even bother to put a number on their house?
- Comment on Reddit's new paid ads look exactly like user posts 2 months ago:
I remember when reddit ads were off to the side and unobtrusive, and often had games or jokes in that space to encourage you to allow reddit past your ad blocker.
Times have changed…
- Comment on Banana Pi's $31 BPI-WiFi 6 router runs a fork of OpenWrt - Liliputing 2 months ago:
My 3080 Ti could definitely burninate some villagers if harnessed correctly.
- Comment on Banana Pi's $31 BPI-WiFi 6 router runs a fork of OpenWrt - Liliputing 2 months ago:
Runs a bit hot though.
- Comment on Usage Of Elon Musk’s X Dropped 30% In The Last Year, Study Suggests 2 months ago:
Login to view started before Musk took over, FYI. I distinctly remember avoiding Twitter to spite them in those days.
- Comment on Lemmy Active Users looking good 2 months ago:
FYI, a browser plugin called Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) exposed the vote breakdown on Reddit as well, although like all scores on reddit, it was fuzzed to confound cheaters.

- Comment on Why Charging Your Gadgets Over 80% Is Such a Bad Idea | iFixit News 2 months ago:
I miss the form factor off my HTC Desire Z (T-Mobile G2 for Americans). It had a neat, flip-out keyboard, swappable batteries, and a compact, 3.7 inch display.
- Comment on Gel and lithium-ion tech could enable 1000-mile EV range on one charge 3 months ago:
I don’t think there’s any need to be snide about this comment. A 2015 Honda Civic is objectively superior in almost every way to a 1967 Corvette, but the 'vette is inherently cooler in a way that the Civic will never be. It’s just nostalgia for a bygone era, that’s all.
- Comment on Want a more private ChatGPT alternative that runs offline? Check out Jan 3 months ago:
Would it help to run it under WSL?
- Comment on The US is investigating if Boeing ensured a part that blew off a jet was made to design standards 4 months ago:
That’s not very typical; I’d like to make that point. There are a lot of these planes going around the world all the time and very seldom does anything like this ever happen. I don’t want people thinking these planes aren’t safe.
- Comment on Al Gore To Leave Apple Board After 21-Year Run; Company Reveals CEO Tim Cook’s Pay Dropped 36% In 2023 After Shareholder Pressure 4 months ago:
They look identical in most fonts, which is a huge problem for my open source project to simulate the former Vice President. It’s called: OpenAl.
- Comment on Not even poor Notepad is safe from Microsoft's AI obsession 4 months ago:
Just because it’s portable doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s allowed on the organizations allow list, but it does seem highly unlikely that the organization doesn’t have any alternative texr editors allowed.
But maybe they don’t edit text files often enough to bother. And honestly, notepad was recently updated with tabs which makes it a lot more usable that it used to be.
- Comment on AirTag 2 not expected until 2025 as Apple sits on backlog of first-gen inventory 4 months ago:
Tile is basically the original tracking device and predates AirTags by about 8 years.

I don’t get the joke.
- Comment on Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994 4 months ago:
Lots of people use VMs, too.
- Comment on Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994 4 months ago:
Work PC and personal PC on the same desk, with a KVM switch to seamlessly switch between them.
- Comment on Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994 4 months ago:
All keyboard layouts can be customized in software but some keyboard hardware like QMK can be programmed in hardware, which makes it especially convenient for switching computers.
- Comment on NASA Successfully Tests Revolutionary Rocket That Could Get Us to Mars Faster 4 months ago:
NASA invented a space ship powered by a rotary engine? Noice.
- Comment on Tesla is banned from driving schools because of new turn signals 4 months ago:
Very true, although in my experience you’re more likely to encounter someone putting on their blinker mid-turn as someone properly signaling a roundabout exit…
- Comment on Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing 4 months ago:
I love my flip phone. I’d love a phone with a hardware keyboard even more, but at least a folding flip phone is interesting in a sea of rectangles.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free 4 months ago:
I was watching Yellowstone on Prime back in 2021, before they moved it to a premium tier, and the audio was always out of sync when using Prime Video, so I had to adjust the audio sync latency, and remember to switch it back when watching other content.
After a while, I gave up and just watched it on my Plex server instead. I could also use the Watch Together feature to watch it synchronously with friends, a feature not supported by Prime Video.
In my case, the piracy (if you call it that, when I was at the time a Prime member) was absolutely a UX issue, not a price issue.
