- Comment on It is essential to stop using Chrome. Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware. 10 months ago:
Not going to lie, I really hate when the internet gets a new favorite phrase. Destroys discussion on the subjects and feels like it’s a race for commenters to say the hit phrase.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video will start showing ads on January 29th unless you pay extra for ad-free 10 months ago:
Yeah wtf. I was looking forward to season 2
- Comment on Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow 10 months ago:
Yeah, Lemmy is actually pretty terrible tbh. I keep hoping it’ll get interesting but it’s repetitive AF.
But did you know Linux beat Windows in a test of 10 games?!
- Comment on Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow 10 months ago:
I find myself wanting to kill time by using my phone and scrolling, even Lemmy, and realizing it’s not doing anything for me. Just a comfort scroll. I think I’ll probably kick the social media/scrolling habit completely within the next year.
- Comment on Mercedes-Benz debuts turquoise exterior lights to indicate the car is self-driving | A visual indicator for other drivers 10 months ago:
I understand. Self driving is making progression, and I can understand the concern.
Like I said, I thought you were saying the indicator was the issue, not the self driving. I don’t know the facts behind self driving, and it’s definitely above my paygrade, so I have no room to give opinions. I think progression is cool though, if it’s proven safe
To be fair though, you did skip the limitations.
that can only be used in limited situations and in certain (geo-fenced) areas, like in heavy traffic on select highways at speeds of 40 MPH or less. Drive Pilot is also limited to daytime use and during clear weather, and cannot be used in construction zones. Furthermore, the driver is not allowed to fall asleep or leave the driver’s seat
- Comment on Mercedes-Benz debuts turquoise exterior lights to indicate the car is self-driving | A visual indicator for other drivers 10 months ago:
Oh my bad. I somehow thought you were implying the light was going to give them the pass… You are talking about self driving cars in general though.
That’s been a thing though, would you like that progress to stop? I guess /fuckcars is a real popular movement online so we can have different opinions on that.
- Comment on Mercedes-Benz debuts turquoise exterior lights to indicate the car is self-driving | A visual indicator for other drivers 10 months ago:
Ive read those 7 paragraphs a couple times now, and I don’t see anything about getting a legal pass.
- Comment on Mercedes-Benz debuts turquoise exterior lights to indicate the car is self-driving | A visual indicator for other drivers 10 months ago:
The article says they are allowed to test the new indicators in those States, not that they get a legal pass…
In California, the permit will let Mercedes-Benz trial turquoise lights on test vehicles for two years. In Nevada, the automaker can start adding the feature to 2026 year production vehicles
Do you think it’s a better scenario for less awareness of self driving cars? If self driving is part of the future, this seems like a reasonable step imo.
- Comment on Mercedes-Benz debuts turquoise exterior lights to indicate the car is self-driving | A visual indicator for other drivers 10 months ago:
I don’t think I understand how adding safety indicators to elevate awareness of self driving vehicles helps rich people avoid all consequence.
As a poor person, I’d like to know if a car I’m driving by is self driving.
- Comment on If we're going to have an effective strategy against FB/Meta, we should clear up some misconceptions around defederation 10 months ago:
I’m not going to bat for Meta/Facebook.
But in my personal opinion, users choice is best for the users. If Threads ultimately has more and better content(because let’s face it, we’ve all seen LINUX BEATS WINDOWS IN 10 GAME TESTS! 100 different times already), users who want that content will have to create an account with Meta to access it. I’d rather use my Lemmy account and access Meta through that.
but again, just my opinion which ultimately doesn’t matter.
- Comment on If we're going to have an effective strategy against FB/Meta, we should clear up some misconceptions around defederation 10 months ago:
But any way you want to compare Threads activity/uses to Lemmy’s… It’s pretty obvious that Threads is already way bigger which was the main point I’d imagine.
- Comment on If we're going to have an effective strategy against FB/Meta, we should clear up some misconceptions around defederation 10 months ago:
I like how amplified divisive content, misinformation and content moderation is the “legitimate” risks like it’s not already an issue here.
- Comment on Study shows Tesla owners have most car accidents, but Ram has the worst drivers 11 months ago:
Also, like you said… incidents, not accidents.
accidents, DUIs, speeding and citations
Which I bet includes things like parking tickets and all that. Tbh, seems like most “studies” posted to Lemmy are crap tbh
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 11 months ago:
I didn’t say “not have a choice” though. I said people are sick of others making the choice for them, whether it be minority or majority. Especially when individual choice is possible.
- Comment on Someone didn't think out the implications. 11 months ago:
I mean he’s always been like this, it’s just getting worse.
Before Donda passed, he already had the infamous “George Bush hates black people” thing and already ran up on stage at the EMAs to say he deserved the award, not the winners. I’m sure there’s plenty more documented exmaples , and in those days, the spotlight wasn’t on him 24/7.
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 11 months ago:
I think most people are tired of others making choices for them, rather than explicitly being in favor of federating with Threads.
- Comment on Here as well 11 months ago:
Huh, guess I might technically live in a food dessert
low-income census tracts that are more than one mile from a supermarket in urban or suburban areas and more than 10 miles from a supermarket in rural areas.
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 11 months ago:
True.
But do you believe the actual people commiting the genocide and manipulating Facebook shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions?
- Comment on Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net. 11 months ago:
I’d imagine is because Myanmars situation is way more complicated than Facebook “undoubtedly caused a genocide”.

That’s a large portion of what’s here as well though…

Imagine being able to buy a brand new 90s Corolla for 10k. That’d be nice
- Comment on She broke it so she could baguette properly.... 11 months ago:
But, plenty of chain grocery stores do have their bread baked off-site and delivered.
- Comment on My children will refer to me as father. 11 months ago:
Seems like anything could be a slur if used in an offensive context then, right?
Like, if I said “okay tomato”, you could take it as offensive it in turns tomato into a slur.
I guess I’m just thinking while typing here, but if that’s what a slur is, maybe we need a new term for contextless offensive words?
- Comment on My children will refer to me as father. 11 months ago:
Just curious. Would saying something like “youngin” be considered a slur as well then?

Death, taxes and this post on Lemmy
- Comment on Income isn't keeping up with inflation, 76% of Americans say in new CBS News poll 11 months ago:
True.
But this is also another volunteer, likely anonymous, YouGov poll that people are taking as fact again. Lemmy is flooded with them in articles and they have no real value.
- Comment on Income isn't keeping up with inflation, 76% of Americans say in new CBS News poll 11 months ago:
I’m sure it’s true, but do we poll over everything now? I feel like there are better, more scientific sources to use than a CBS poll.
I just saw a poll about Bluetooth headphones being unhealthy for you earlier so I just feel like this in general and am using this as a place to put my thoughts tbh.
I just feel like we are putting to much faith into opinions of the masses, and believing what we read online.
- Comment on Those that target journalists are declaring war on the truth itself 11 months ago:
I hate that I feel like I have to disclaimer that this is just thinking, and not justification or anything… But it’s a sensitive topic
But my thought is if we considered all bloggers as journalists… I feel like we’d have to consider people in WW2 who kept journals as well.
Again, not trying to take away from anything. I guess I just think considering internet hobbies as professions is weird in general. Like “rapper kills rapper” news story… But the rappers have a few songs on SoundCloud with like 10 listens.
- Comment on Those that target journalists are declaring war on the truth itself 11 months ago:
I know, this isn’t a fun question, but it’s honest curiosity…
Do you think a contributing factor in the number difference is the amount of modern “journalist”? Like bloggers being considered journalists?
But in the end, it’s all fucked up and every death is a tragedy, no matter the profession or side.
- Comment on Weird 🤔 1 year ago:
I don’t have to run windows, or anything. I can run what I want.
But the people who shoehorn Linux into every conversation are also the ones who spend more time finding acceptance online rather than actually being “friends” with people IRL. Tbh, I have you coined for a stereotype I know and I apologize about that. I can’t help it. I just know mfers who talk like you are commenting so my bad if I attach opinions to you, I really don’t mean to. That’s why I’m trying to ask questions.
But you do not believe social media is manipulated then, and is just a conspiracy theory? I never accused any party of being behind the manipulations and I haven’t provided any theoretical motivations. Just wondered if you believed social media is an accurate portrayal of the populations opinions.
Also, mfers try to act superior cause they got Linux, that’s why they “get a negative reaction”. Look how you are reacting to someone just mentioning the idea of mentioning windows ha!
