- Comment on Dell tells remote workers that they won’t be eligible for promotion 1 month ago:
Working from home made me realize how much I hate working in an office environment.
- Comment on Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing? 2 months ago:
Because the last gen of parents struggle to let their kids grow up
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 2 months ago:
The entitlement from servers is horrendous.
10-15% and if you don’t like it you can have zero.
- Comment on Why were so many people believers in the conspiracy that 9/11 was an inside job 2 months ago:
Because two planes hit two buildings (and the other one) and like 3-4 buildings imploded. It didn’t look real.
Im guessing engineers didn’t plan for planes to strike the building which is why they crumbled.
That was literally it. It was so odd a situation to our daily lives that parts of it didn’t seem real.
- Comment on Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever 4 months ago:
None of these are as bad as they were before, but Windows OS still sucks. Apple isn’t selling bargain devices of any kind. They are more like decent investments (if you don’t include the butterfly era).
- Comment on Fallout TV Show - Trailer 5 months ago:
I haven’t found a place in my life for these types of TV series. Looks good though just prefer the complete arc of a movie or a mini-series.
Sets look kind of big budget artificial, soapy? Like that is some wicked blue dye on the suits, very fresh. Lovely hair and makeup. All good though I realize it’s just not my thing. A cinematic 90 minute fallout movie laser focused on 2-3 character arcs would be exciting to me.

I’ve been blocking these users.
Goodbye Gork.
- Comment on Spotify re-invented the radio 6 months ago:
In theory at least they are motivated to retain listeners.
- Comment on today I was reminded how bad YouTube ads are 6 months ago:
Don’t see mention of Invidious in here so may as well share.
Like piped - front end for youtube. No ads.
- Comment on lemmy.ml 6 months ago:
I need to learn this too. The rage bait habbit dies hard though.
- Comment on Spotify re-invented the radio 6 months ago:
radio tries retain listeners and spotify free tries to annoy listeners
- Comment on Who else saw this? 6 months ago:
piped’s been really slow to load lately, if at all
- Comment on USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible 7 months ago:
I’m an IT worker so ya I have a bunch of junk and I’ve seen a lot of ports
- Comment on Unity CEO John Riccitiello is retiring, effective immediately 7 months ago:
lol
- Comment on Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish 7 months ago:
I probably will do that tbh. Youtube is like reddit to me - I’m addicted and I’d take the opportunity to quit.
Someone breaks into your house and steals something from you. This person is also selling bananas at the supermarket. Am I morally required to pay for those bananas when I shop at that store?
Your argument makes the most sense to me only if it’s limited to basic exchange of goods, but Google doesn’t exist in a vacuum and mega-corporations should be everyone’s your shit list.
- Comment on USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible 7 months ago:
I say usually but it’s basically the rule. Of all my things only the QNAP NAS has a slim side down port, and maybe that’s some other convention I’m not aware of since it’s for the copy-data port. That’s among a random pile consisting of a Cisco networking equipment, Intel NUC, old macbook, new microsoft and HP laptops, a hdmi/usb switch, ps4, and a raspberry pi
- Comment on USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible 7 months ago:
The logo isn’t that reliable but it’s usually slim side up. Not sure about sideways ports though.
- Comment on Streaming giants have banded together for lobbying power 7 months ago:
Ya that’s kind of what I’m saying. I’m not thrilled about it.
- Comment on Intel might have slipped that Windows 12 is indeed coming next year | Company CFO sees benefits of a coming "Windows Refresh" 7 months ago:
Maybe they’ll move to the MacOSX model with friendly-named feature updates, but otherwise I don’t see Windows 12 coming out next year.
- Comment on The truth about Canada 7 months ago:
T&R is a thing
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
I should get a phone app…
- Comment on Windows Copilot's is showing third-party Ads to Windows users - gHacks Tech News 7 months ago:
I had a brief look at enabling this but I didn’t see the point. Copilot in the office suite or outlook makes sense though.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
Hard to with a trackpad or phone.
This bug is why when I’m casually scrolling I tend to avoid clicking anything that isn’t a meme that can be opened in-line.
- Comment on Smartphone sales down 22 percent in Q2, the worst performance in a decade 7 months ago:
netbooks
I use an 11 Macbook air as my casual device and I love it. It’s also pre-glass screens so I’ve dropped it a few times (from a 1-2’) and it hasn’t shattered. It’s using this device which has had me rethink my computer situation.
- Comment on Streaming giants have banded together for lobbying power 7 months ago:
It’s still a useful mechanic to be able to influence government policy in between elections. Not all lobbying is pushing for this dystopian stuff, this is just what ends up in the news.
In Canada anyone can review federal and provincial lobbying activity. Eg:
lobbycanada.gc.ca/app/secure/ocl/…/clntSmmrySrch?…
I’m guessing there is something like that for the US.
- Comment on VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it 7 months ago:
I’m not sold on the gaming side of it but I loved my quest for movies. I’m planning to buy another one one day and it’s something that I’ll consider essential for old age retirement.
- Comment on Russia, China, Iran state media see boost on X after removal of ‘state-affiliated’ labels 7 months ago:
Could label NPR as state sponsored so removed the label entirely?
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 25-09-2023 7 months ago:
Playing Last of us 2 while I’m in the middle game of covid.
- Comment on What game has a great story and is worth the time investment? 7 months ago:
I’m replaying it right now on Survivor. Great game but so grim. I can’t do long play sessions because I find it too taxing. It’s extremely polished so you can play it at any difficulty level and it works well.
I’m here now because I want to find another game to play alongside or after that isn’t so heavy.
- Comment on Is lemmy.ml turn into authoritarian? 7 months ago:
That’s because we’re on .world and the main tankie instances are blocked. OP is talking about leaks into other instances. It’s a bad faith argument. Fuck tankies.
