  Excuse me sir, do you have a licence and registration for that ice cream?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have a bad friend if he isn't willing to help you bury a dead body or if he is willing to help you.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You might be the problem if you are in this situation and the friend is actually okay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweden, Norway rethink plans for cashless societies over fears that fully digital payment systems would leave them vulnerable to Russian security threats⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Something we can thank the Russians for and hackers everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy really any different from reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s what I’m thinking. Take the best of Reddit and leave the toxic stuff. The source is open, after all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do I put down on my resume?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Describe the work you are doing and the equipment you use. Talk about the fact that you have received training to use this equipment. You don’t need to say anything else. If your next employer wants you to be certified on their particular machines they will train you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Source: Father, H. , Son, H. Spirit, H. (2024). Visions from God⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How much of that gas did you huff?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is lemmy really any different from reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not for profit would be its singular difference. The devs have attempted to recreate original Reddit and largely succeeded.

  The aspects of it that could do with improvement are addiction potential. We shouldn’t have endless scrolling and perhaps have timers to limit exposure.

  It’s still male dominated but generally non toxic for your average white guy in tech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whether you've got big plans for your Sunday or are just going to relax, Putin could change your plans, end your life, kill all of your family, and incinerate everything you own.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Whether you’ve got big plans for your Sunday or are just going to relax, America could install a NATO army on your doorstep bringing the world another step closer to nuclear Armageddon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spoopy Pangolin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is cultural appropriation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Utter rubbish': Putin dismisses MI5 claims Russia trying to create mayhem in UK and Europe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Behind that stony facade I think Putin has quite a good sense of humour.

  It’s even more outrageous since the British would never engage in this sort skulduggery 🙄

  This is news for chumps and delusional fanbois

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 1900s⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It does depend what we’re talking about. The geology of Himalaya or computer technology? One of these things didn’t change much in the last forty years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My markup has my cat's contributions.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  By the time it came to writing my thesis at age 37 I had already dedicated twenty years learning the vagueries of MS Word and ten debugging compilation errors of MATLAB. There was no way I was going to take on another language at that point.

  This was short sighted because all it meant is that I didn’t have any control over compilation errors because Word does it for you, badly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If only we could combine Jim, Alice and Rob into a single entity called The Waltronzoid, we could easily defeat all the other billionaires by creating a bazillionaire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can be the reasons for self-sabotaging behaviours when it comes to relationships?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fear of rejection can manifest in this way. We can’t be rejected if we sabotage the relationship before the person finds out who we really are. It’s a sign of low self esteem and depression.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someday, when society goes fully paperless, paper cuts will be a thing of the past⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine the paradise slaves were living under, they could never be the victims of pay cuts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civilization VI: Just another knowledge check 4X game⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The best way to overcome all the toxic elements of adversarial gaming is to play cooperative games. This style previously did not exist but has become popular in recent years. It’s nicer to work together and interesting to see how people (mostly men) adapt to this style of play by continuing to compete in an environment where that causes the team to lose. Much like the English national football team of eleven adversaries Vs the German team.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Women in STEM⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Based and redpilled scientists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why 🤷‍♂️ do users 👨‍💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like them used sparingly. There’s art to using just the right emoji in the right spot that conveys a message in a way that is difficult to achieve with text.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Veggitale facts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These vegetables have spoiled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft donates the Mono Project to the Wine team⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft is cancer but then so much of tech is going that way. We shouldn’t lose sight of small victories, this is a good result. The EU is enforcing more openness and transparency in the sector. These are the type of changes we need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go already⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I will add serious distance to a journey in order to avoid a jam. I will wake at an inhumane hour to avoid traffic. I know it’s irrational but sitting in traffic is the worst. My life was so easy when I cycled to work. Literally zero traffic jams for twelve years. Every journey to and from home was fifteen minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Difficult to feel sorry for an organisation whose only responsibility is to generate profit for their shareholders. If their policy happens to align with normal human ethics it is a coincidence and they will not spare a moment to consider the plight of their customers when the shoe is on the other foot. Fuck them. Long live the pirates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colorblindness check!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cars Are Now Rolling Computers Now. So What Happens When They Stop Getting Updates?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Vehicle control systems are overwhelmingly programmed in C, mostly from graphical design tools such as MATLAB Simulink via an automatic process. These are real time control systems which are quite different to an interrupt based operating system such as Linux. The many individual controllers must work in concert according to a strict architecture definition and timing schedule that defines the functionality of the vehicle. It’s not at all like a PC or phone, whose OS become irrelevant over time, with respect to their environment of other systems. The vehicle environment is the same environment that we inhabit i.e. the one with gravity, friction, charge and the other SI units. This is slowly changing with advent of self driving but, yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSA Claims It Can’t Watch a Tape It Recorded in the 1980s⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The NSA mission is to spy on people and help American corporations create a worldwide hegemony, they ain’t got no time to be wasting on pet projects for total losers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Remove ‘gamers’ and insert ‘bloated management’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes but we’re talking about fireworks now. Have you tried adding fireworks to your food? Could be a huge win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Goddamn

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work from home⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We have to call their bluff from time to time and remind the management that without us, none of their shit works. When we down tools its not like they can pick them up and get the show back on the road.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EVs still have major quality problems, and it’s mostly about the software⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We are locked into the big heavy vehicle paradigm. People have become so accustomed to moving around in a 2t vehicle they have forgotten about the alternatives. Lithium batteries are not a good fit for this type of vehicle and most of the time the use case is single occupant, where the bicycle is king of efficiency.
