ahem
It’s an Albany expression.
- Comment on What's the most offensive word I can use that isn't a slur? 3 days ago:
If I hear someone using the word ‘Jew’ in any prejorative sense, I find it pretty immediately telling and offensive.
- Comment on YSK: YouTube views went down since mid-August because they no longer count views of not logged in users 1 week ago:
All I can say is my feed has been shit since it happened.
- Comment on "Pro-life" and "pro-choice" aren't actually opposite positions 1 week ago:
Both are politically disingenuous names.
Pro life is a really funny name for “we want abortions illegal” when you also support the death penalty.
Pro choice is a funny name for “we want abortions to be legal” unless you’re trying to play middle lane politics.
They both seek to appeal to those beyond their cause through their name.
- Comment on Between Codeberg, Forgejo, Gitea, etc., which do you prefer and why? 2 weeks ago:
Edit your configs.
It is a resource hog It you don’t tell it not to be. And for private use, you absolutely don’t need it to be.

You can find it kind of more meaningfully in folks who accomplish crazy things recounting their trials.
One guy who swam the English channel like a couple dozen times explained, from memory
…that you have to start at night to avoid freightliners. So you swim toward blackness. And like 4 hours in, youve accidentally drank so much seawater, you’re vomiting. Not sure which way is back to safety. Might as well press on.
And later the sun breaks the sky and it feels like relief even though there’s still no land in sight and your limbs are cramping.
And the feeling of swimming to shore, getting your feet underneath you on solid ground… Addicted. Like speed running a whole emotional lifetime overnight.
Do the hard thing. Take off the guardrails. Find solid ground.

We tried growing trees in glass domes and they grew so good. Like damn. Nothing to challenge them.
But oops. Brittle as fuck. They hadn’t even been exposed to wind.
Friction is necessary for sturdy growth.
Take the risk. Failure is ultimately better than complacency.
- Comment on YSK, titles given to Republican nominees don't protect from bullets. 2 weeks ago:
Get your blackpilled ass outta here.
Go be depressed somewhere else.
- Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup. 2 weeks ago:
He barely has to wipe.
- Comment on "Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day 3 weeks ago:
This version of cook seems aligned with “hold on.”
As in “it’s not yet apparent that what’s happening makes sense/is good.”
Where’s that tiktok linguist kid when ya need him.
- Comment on How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them 4 weeks ago:
There’s huge outfits of scammers.
They buy data. Phone numbers, emails, sometimes passwords etc.
They phish, they smish, they vish.
When a fish ends up on rheine they try to reel em in
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
If you don’t have a specific goal, here are some ideas.
Build a NAS.
Use a bunch of small PCs or pis, build a CA, a DNS server. Make an db server and an app server.
Get shit running on your network.
Suit them all up with ELK stack.
Misbehave on your own network. Go find evidence for your misbehaving.
DoS yourself.
Without goals it’s tough to give ideas beyond general like this.
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 4 weeks ago:
I imagine this will actually create competition. Android is open source. It can be forked.
- Comment on YSK 4get is a privacy respecting proxy search engine that can be self hosted 4 weeks ago:
This, while funny, sounds like this person made Fork of a project instead of… Going through the configs.
- Comment on Tea is basically just salad water. 4 weeks ago:
Coffee is bean soup.
- Comment on That white guy on the Cracker Barrel logo they were trying to get rid of.. Is his name just Cracker? 4 weeks ago:
Nah then it’d be Cracker’s Barrel
- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 4 weeks ago:
"One star
Literally made me sign a contract saying I would t leave a negative review. Speaks for itself. "

Maybe instead of complaining, provide the summary yourself? Be the change you want to see in the world!
I am happy to watch the video and see no issues with people using Lemmy for its intended purposes.
- Comment on My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks? 5 weeks ago:
Think outside the box.
“If anyone in that jury was served an ad from this provider, we cannot assume they have no preconceived notion of my guilt or innocence.”
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Vegetables don’t exist. It’s not a botanical term.
They’re all roots fruits seeds stems or leaves.
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 5 weeks ago:
When they started pushing for $15 federal minimum, it should have been $50.
Today, it should be about $150.
At $150/hr, you could afford to buy a an average home with a years pay.
People don’t realize how insanely bad it’s been getting.
I disagree that we should be paid triple to travel. We should just be paid appropriately. That’s all.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
How will your ex wife feel about seeing you two be intimate? For some this would be a fucking dagger in the soul. For others, could be hot. For others, indifferent.
Do you and you ex wife sleep in the same room? Will you and your girlfriend?
If the space is adequate, doesn’t involve a big physical relocation for your ex wife, the house is yours alone, the kids are old enough to understand, and you plan on all being respecful, the yeah, it can work.
That’s a bunch of ifs. Not all are in your control. Any are not met and you are the asshole.
If say it’s dicey.
- Comment on Do LLM modelers maintain a list of manual corrections fed by humans? 1 month ago:
The how many rs in strawberry breaks it because it doesnt read your question. It tokenized it. So it seems (straw)(berry) and knows contextually that when berry follows straw with no whitespace it means a different set of things that if there were white space.
The tokens have, basically, numeric value. So it doesn’t read your characters. That’s why that’s hard for it.
Ideas that recurse in themselves tend to fail as well. i.e. “say banana 142 times” will not produce the expected result.
As to how they fix them I’m not positive. There’s a bunch of ways to work around issues like these.
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 1 month ago:
Step one: where is hour hand? Is it on a number or after? Is it approaching a new number? This is already enough to estimate.
Step two: where is minute hand? Is it on a number, or after? Is it approaching a new number? Dead center?
This is enough to get precise time within about 90s.
If the hour hand is a little past 5, I know the minute hand is between 12 and 4. Oh, it’s between the 2 and 3. Closer to the 2 but definitely past it.
It’s 5:12. Maybe 5:13. Maybe 5:11. Probably 5:12.
- Comment on My body started aging, but no one told me I’d still feel thirty inside 1 month ago:
Do more stuff.
You can get a lot of that back, it just takes more work when you’re older.
Go hike once a week. Chop some wood.
- Comment on Why is it so common to be interested in true crime when at the same time you're disturbed by it? 1 month ago:
Because you’re disturbed by it.
Sometimes it’s that simple.
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 1 month ago:
Oops! Fixed.
And yeah I’m not a big NASCAR fan (can you tell)? But recognize a feat is a feat.
But it’s not different in that we’re talking about athletes with unfair advantages. Trans athletes have never shown their ‘leg up’ helped the dominate the field. The same cannot be said for Dale. That’s why I tease, do we take that accomplishment (that I got wrong 😳) away with an asterisk?
Of course not. Same goes for a trans athlete.
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 1 month ago:
I tend to agree but it’s an interesting angle.
Like, were not about to tell NASCAR fans that Dale Earnheart Jr needs asterisks because, you know, his dad. He had quite the leg up!
- Comment on If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier? 1 month ago:
