- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 5 days ago:
The only way to protect yourself from something like this is to own your own domain name.
You can still use something like Google as a provider but you can switch providers and recreate the same email addresses. - Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 6 days ago:

It’s like over there past the thing next to the other thing but not past the other other thing.
Nope, sorry, I don’t know any of the names even though I walk here all the time. - Comment on In the context of the leaked Warcraft II remake, do you still trust Blizzard to produce good games? 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on I got tired of killing my cactus so now I plant mint 2 weeks ago:
When it outgrows the peanut butter pot you can transplant it into an orange juice jug and convince people that’s why it tastes like this.
- Comment on I got tired of killing my cactus so now I plant mint 2 weeks ago:
There’s some sort of perpetual war going on in my yard.
I mix of mint and oregano who compete for the same spot.
It is like watching a duel of immortals. - Comment on Patient gamers, what are your favorite OSTs? 2 weeks ago:

Is 2016 old enough now?
The DOOM 2016 soundtrack fucking rips. - Comment on Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing 2 weeks ago:

Oh there’s plenty of corpo spam accounts being made, even here.
- Comment on Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing 2 weeks ago:
I’m not an expert on the specific of this, but changing the domain for the UI (as in oldsh.itjust.works) seems a lot easier than changing the domain for the backend, which includes federation with all other instances.
I don’t know of any way to change the federated stuff without breaking pretty much everything and starting over.
Maybe there is and I just don’t know about it, or maybe there could be an easier way at some point. - Comment on Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, that’s one of the things I like most about lemmy.
The web UI just works fine in a mobile browser. I was so used to garbage sites going out of their way to gimp the mobile experience (to push you into their app) that I had forgotten how pleasant it was to just use a browser for this.
Multiple tabs, ublock origin, bookmarks, etc.
I appreciate that there are apps available, but it’s nice not needing an app. - Comment on Ubisoft launches NFT game with figures costing up to $63K 3 weeks ago:
Ew.
- Comment on Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing 3 weeks ago:
I Iike both slrpnk and blahaj but it’s not like their domain names are magically not also part of this alphabet soup they’re talking about.
It’s… kinda the point of federation and decentralization.
Sure, Reddit or Facebook have brand recognition, they’re also centralized corpo garbage.If a blahaj user wants to share a SJW post, but finds the sjw domain untasteful, they can also just share their instance’s URL for to said post.
- Comment on Sugar vs baking soda to neutralize acid in canned tomatoes? 3 weeks ago:
Tomatoes are already acidic, consider non-lemony tomatoes next time if possible.
As for this batch, both sugar and baking soda works somewhat and you can to both.
A little at a time so you don’t change the taste too much.
Onions are acidic too, but much less so than lemontomatoes, adding a bunch of em to the sauce can help.
If you don’t plan on freezing or canning and you’re just making sauce to put on pasta or something, add cream to it to make a sauce rosée, it’ll mellow the perception of acidity a lot too.
Or use in it a chili where the beans, while not chemically buffering the acidity like baking soda would, can help absorb some of the taste. - Comment on So, my weirdo Stanley Parable inspired game finally made it to Most Wishlisted Steam Games.

A 9h workday, and I’m also working a few hours tonight.

- Comment on Tupperware in fight to survive after bankruptcy filing 2 months ago:
While this might have been revolutionary in the 50s, a food container isn’t really anything special nowadays.
TBH, I don’t even know the brand of the glass ones I have at home. All I know is I don’t have to worry about storing stuff that will etch into the plastic or deal with MLM reps bs.
Tupperware parties is a fancy name for MLM bullshit and I avoid MLMs like the plague. - Comment on Americans used record 100 trillion megabytes of wireless data in 2023 2 months ago:
About 14 football fields, stacked up to the crossbar.
according to GPT-4o-mini that I haven’t double-checked, which means it’s likely wrong somewhere.Summary of Paper Volume and Football Fields
Data Capacity of a Letter-Sized Page
- Dimensions: 8.5 x 11 inches
- Average Text Capacity:
- Approximately 500 to 600 words
- About 2,500 to 3,000 characters
- Roughly 2,500 to 3,000 bytes (using standard ASCII/UTF-8)
Total Pages for 100 Exabytes
- 100 Exabytes = 10^20 bytes
- Average Bytes per Page: 2,750 bytes
- Total Pages: Approximately 36.4 trillion pages
Volume of the Paper
- Volume of One Page:
- Volume = 8.5 inches x 11 inches x 0.004 inches ≈ 0.000374 cubic inches
- Total Volume for 36.4 Trillion Pages:
- Total volume ≈ 7.89 million cubic feet
Volume of a Football Field
- Dimensions:
- Length: 120 yards (360 feet)
- Width: 53.3 yards (160 feet)
- Height: 10 feet
- Volume: Approximately 576,000 cubic feet
Football Fields Needed to Hold the Paper
- Calculation:
- Number of football fields ≈ 7,890,000 cubic feet / 576,000 cubic feet ≈ 14
- Result: Approximately 14 football
- Comment on Error sending request for url when uploading image 2 months ago:
Probably the image is too large.
Lemmy still has a few cryptic error messages.I can’t get a I don’t have an account on your instance, but that message shows up sometimes when the image is too large.
- Comment on Meta fixes easily bypassed WhatsApp ‘View Once’ privacy feature 2 months ago:
Yea, view-once features in apps are mostly an illusion that’s oversold.
We have something close to some sort of an actual view once thing at work… it involves controlled access into secure rooms with no windows, lawyers, NDAs, security takes your phone and whatnot kinda deal.
A self destructing message is better than nothing, but hardly a guarantee
