- Comment on What do you like/dislike about lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
The thing I dislike the most is that my bot got banned. I made a bot to post carefully categorized articles into their proper communities, but it was banned without warning or explanation. All the communities I was modding dried up shortly thereafter because I didn’t manually post in them instead.

Someone offered a definition here: lemmy.world/comment/8529913
From the discussion, that definition may also be a hallucination, though.

- Comment on Millions can no longer afford their rent 9 months ago:
Not “millionaires”, it’s “millions” like “lots of people”.
- Comment on If it's not bad for the lungs, we should fluoridate vape juice. 9 months ago:
Interesting. Do aerosolized fluoridates adhere to teeth?
- Comment on Millions can no longer afford their rent 9 months ago:
I think it already is. I think we just need to send a Calendly to see when everyone’s got some free time and we can burn this mother down.

Not yet, but I’ll give it a go!

I’ve also switched to duckduckgo as my default search engine, but I do find myself falling back to google more often than I’d like because duckduckgo can’t find what I’m searching for.

- Comment on R&D spending 9 months ago:
It’s comparing to the R&D budgets of all companies in France to Amazon. Presumably the companies are trying to be innovative.

- Comment on Six months after the initial reddit surge (graphs) 10 months ago:
I feel similarly, except I wish more users were interacted with my sports communities too. Guess it’s a “have your cake and eat it too” kind of problem.

- Comment on Can someone explain the Fediverse to me In simple terms? 1 year ago:
The fediverse is less like Twitter and more like email. You sign up for email through a provider, like Gmail or Outlook, and they have control over your access to the other users and pay the costs of running your hardware. Like email, you have a box that receives messages, and communities are like email groups you join and send messages to. And, like email, it’s based on standards that everyone has agreed on through a group called the w3 consortium.

A zeppelin

Neither do I, but the Hindenburg very famously exploded while being filled with hydrogen.
- Comment on Printing DNA nucleotides 1 year ago:
I dunno much about nucleotide chains, but I’m really invested in the SNP rs1006737 in the gene CACNA1C: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/rs1006737
Seeing the difference in the two nucleotide chains between the disordered personality and a “normal” personality (that’s a gross oversimplification, I know) would be meaningful to me personally, at least.
- Comment on 1 year ago:
I use rss to discover content that I post to Lemmy. The value of Lemmy, for me, is the community and the comments, so when I see something interesting in my rss feed reader, I post it to a relevant community to see what folks have to say.
- Comment on [Opinion] About Lemmy 1 year ago:
3, 4 and 5 are all legit problems, but the community is working on it, and they’ll get better. 1 and 2 are features, not bugs.

This is a very good addition!

- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion [2] 1 year ago:
I’ve tried 10-15 times to finish it on hardcore mode. The most recent time, I was killed by a warper bringing up my last load from the lost river trying to finish the rocket and I literally can’t any more.
- Comment on What is the need for so many instances? 1 year ago:
Part of it is figuring out how to pay for all the servers. If we have 1000 instances instead of 100, more people pay a smaller amount for server maintenance. If everyone uses a single instance, who pays for it?
- Comment on Why can't we have a unified API across the fediverse to use in mobile apps? 1 year ago:
We’re working on it! Here’s the spec-in-progress: www.w3.org/TR/did-core/
These things take time. We’ll get there.
- Comment on Isn't technically everything open-source? 1 year ago:
Kinda. What you’re referring to is “decompilation”, which is the process of taking the output of a compiler and trying to reverse-engineer the code that produced it. But decompiled code is really hard to read and modify, because it isn’t what humans wrote, it’s what the compiler translated it into, and that can have some unexpected changes than are mostly irreversible. And, since it’s closed source, if you somehow manage to make a change, you can’t re-release it – you don’t have the license to do so.
With open source, you see the same code as the maintainers, so it has the high-level programming concepts and good variable names, and you have permissions to fork and release your own version.
