• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy's active userbase has been stable since September 2025⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s going to take more than that

  the lemmy line is going down much faster than the piefed line is going up

  looks like 1500 users per quarter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Karl Pilkington was a mainstream “lolcow”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  there are many times when Karl saying something funny is cracking up at his own jokes

  nobody noticed the anti-zionist propoganda campaign? specially on lemmy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beijing calls on US not to use “China threat” as excuse to encroach on Greenland⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  i assume Taiwan and Greenland are both just sabre rattles to keep the people amused while economies are tanking

  but you never know

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When I was a kid, computers expanded your mind and your freedoms, bringing power to the individual. With AI, now it does the thinking for you, takes your job, gives power only to a few billionaires.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  if people don’t want to use computers to expand their mind, empower themselves and others then, obviously they won’t get those benefits

  you can still use computers to do those things

  the new no-distro movement of containers is very interesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Microsoft do anything right in 2025? Wins, fails, and WTF moments⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨London venue ‘appalled’ after antisemitic imagery allegedly screened at Primal Scream gig⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  a jewish religious symbol mashed together with a nazi symbol can easily be interpreted as anti-jew racism

  i’m guessing there was no similar islamic symbol representing the genocidal intents of many islamic terrorist movements and countries

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i think this is a common side effect of being self aware

  little existential crises before getting back into life

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  honestly this was a coding cock-up. there’s a code snippet in the article that unwraps on a Result which you don’t do unless you’re fine with that part of the code crashing

  i think they are turning linters back to max and rooting through all their rust code as we speak

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think truenas and unraid are the only user friendly experience out of the box. Everything else needs a lot of configuring. I don’t think you can call system administration gate keeping
