Scrolling from your first meme to this version was too perfect.
- Comment on The virus she told you not to worry about. 5 days ago:
Probably your mom, the whale.
- Comment on Expand North! So much room up there. 1 week ago:
I don’t get it. The border is north of the UP.
Why do the straights count?
- Comment on The Guy 1 week ago:
Thanks! This one copied clean into imessage
- Comment on California May Ban Lyft And Uber From AI Price Gouging Users With Low Phone Batteries 1 week ago:
The people making the big bucks in Silicon Valley are often the people really good at understanding psychology and manipulating people’s behavior.
I honestly would have never thought of this either. I’m one of those traditional losers who thinks providing a good value/service at a sustainable margin is a good way to run a business.
- Comment on Imagine being a billionaire, running one the most powerful, corporations in the United States, and prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this very public and embarrassing way. 1 week ago:

Dawg I was like how tf did a Lemmy post get 48k votes.
- Comment on Marco Rubio orders US diplomats to launch lobbying blitz against Europe's tech law 1 week ago:
Also NAL and different sizes of platforms have different obligations. Could be wrong that the scenario I described applies to Lemmy.
- Comment on Marco Rubio orders US diplomats to launch lobbying blitz against Europe's tech law 1 week ago:
I’m ignoring the US politics for a moment…
If I flag a comment on Lemmy for abuse, breaking community rules, or other reasons, do you y’all think I am individually owed a response from the mod team on whether the content stays approved, or was removed, that includes the specific criteria behind the decision?
That’s what the DSA requires among many other requirements.

I did not know the second part. TIL
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 2 weeks ago:
I rent through Costco and try to pick Alamo when possible. Avis is decent but they often share a line with Budget which can take forever.
I’m not a loyalty member of any brand for reference.
- Comment on Cheat Codes Activated 3 weeks ago:
Ha I think there’s a long list of enhancements that many women do that more men should do. Put effort into your outfit, smell decent, drink a little less than normal when on a date.
- Comment on crypto investment 3 weeks ago:
Except for PCG…
- Comment on Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors 4 weeks ago:
I see people talking about chargebacks in this thread which is the logical course of action for a case like this.
What’s nefarious about this is that Hilton and Merriot each own a ton of hotels. If you chargeback multiple times against one of those groups you could get block listed from their locations which can get very problematic in locales without much competition.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 5 weeks ago:
Ah of course. I think Boston as well and maybe that super federal (NOVA?) part around DC.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 5 weeks ago:
Sounds like the SF Bay Area, SoCal, NY, GTA, VAN, or London.
- Comment on [Video] BBC cuts away during pro-Palestine musicians Kneecap. The followup act Bob Vylan invents a new chant on live TV 1 month ago:
Brits are so fucking good at chants. Caught the quick rhythm and even the melody in just a bar.
- Comment on THIS always annoys me. 1 month ago:
It’s a good question. The flat fee is already covered by your item purchase, so at worst it would be 2.5-3.5% of the donation amount, which isn’t terrible.
- Comment on Tips off the cops 1 month ago:
I don’t understand the post title.
- Comment on Microsoft shuts down email account of International Criminal Court chief prosecutor 2 months ago:
Sure but this looks like Microsoft complying with sanctions. I was unaware sanctions were applied to the ICC, which is complete nonsense.
- Comment on We finally moved in! 3 months ago:
I love the two tone upper and down low color scheme. Counters, backsplash, and island block look great.
Can I ask what’s up with the 2x6 blocking above the range hood?
- Comment on EU fines Apple $568m for deterring third-party payment methods on App Store 3 months ago:
Yeah it’s arguable that Steam is a monopoly but somehow billion dollar publishers can’t create a store to sell their own products without fucking it up with annoying bullshit. Pay the 30% to protect you from yourselves.
- Comment on Google is killing privacy sandbox in Chrome. 3 months ago:
Google has been kicking the can on ending third party cookie support for years. Chrome has such a large market share that whatever they decide to do has a huge impact on the ability to monetize content with ads.
There’s no clear direct replacement for identifying users for ad targeting outside of 3pty cookies. Lots of competing ‘privacy preserving frameworks’ but they all need buy in from many players at scale to be effective.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 4 months ago:
Yeah I distinctly remember N64 games being $60 in the late 90s. We saved a lot with digital downloads vs retail over the years but it is funny that games have largely been level in price for 30 years at this point.

Ah i forgot it was Pterodactyl specifically, thanks for confirming!
P.S. to my handler at the agency, please forgive my search history this morning. The video above is what I was trying to find.
- Comment on my dreams in colour 4 months ago:
I swear there’s a video out there some where of multiple dudes in dinosaur costumes replaying this exact scenario. It’s ancient.
- Comment on Ontario won’t walk back retaliatory measures despite one-month tariff exemption for many Canadian goods 5 months ago:
At least Ontario is being predictable. The reality TV script writing our government runs off is a terrible foundation for any kind of series negotiation.
- Comment on TSMC and Trump announce $100 billion investment in the US, including three fabs 5 months ago:

Went down the hole, part of it soon to become a Microsoft data center. Makes sense when you have access to a shit ton of fresh water.
- Comment on Israeli speaker of parliament calls for bombing food stocks in Gaza now that Israel has cut off their food and water. 5 months ago:
Honestly appreciate folks in the comments verifying screenshots of social posts are real.

Google offers that feature but only with an Enterprise Workspace account.
