• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  How exactly will they force compliance for companies not based in Italy, or even the EU?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Next week, Amazon is stripping away your ability to download your ebooks.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Good thing then that I never, ever in my entire life have given Amazon a single cent, nor will I.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be the change you want to see in Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really agree that it’s much easier to start on Reddit. Especially nowadays. -Post from an IP that was once used by a banned account? Also banned (after first being shadowbanned) -Try to post in any niche sub of your choosing after making an account? Forget it, wait three weeks and farm 3K karma first (which encourages shitposting and reposting, lowering quality) -Deviate a fraction of an inch from whatever sub’s 500-page rulebook? Banned. -Try to argue an unbanning? That’s a permanent mute.

  Reddit is an absolutely terrible experience for new posters. How they even manage to retain a tenth of them is beyond me. I encourage them to keep it up however, more traffic for Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨History tells us what happens when the bread and circus stops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When it got this bad in Rome most emperors quickly pulled a Liberalitas and, quite literally, showered the plebs in coins or at the very least, tokens for the grain dole. Unsurprisingly this worked (though it did have its limits).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  America is waking up to the reality, as Germany once did, that 1/3 of their population wants to kill another 1/3 while the other 1/3 watches and stands by.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advice on enjoying your life⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  2/12 ain’t that bad I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE Wants to Know If You’re Posting Negative Things About It Online⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Put me on the same list whydontcha. Fuck ICE weasels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This guy understands graphic design

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hahah he really hates Altman’s guts. Good. Love to see those two expend their energy on each other rather than on fucking all of us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gold hits record high as Trump announces tariffs on steel and aluminium⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  By the time this term’s over (no matter how/what happens) I predict it’ll be well over 4K/ounce.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been on Win10 for years, never had a single problem with any update whatsoever.

  Still not subjecting myself to W11 though. As soon as Win10 support ends, I’ll make the switch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would let a chip be installed in my brain if it would allow me to erase memories of the games I have played to play them again as the first time.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Understood, but there are other memories I’d much rather erase, not necessarily with the intent of reliving them for the first time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like that’s one texture replacement away from reality. But knowing that side they would relentlessly attack it and make it seem like some kind of “maga kill simulator” or w/e.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mein leben!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will online only "Device Activation" become the norm for every device in the future? / Will everything require an app in the future?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but everything can be hacked. I foresee a vibrant underground scene for such things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone know what Trump is going to do with people with mental disabilities who get SSDI? Or can someone link me something on Trump and SSDI since google is cleaning up Trump from searches?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All the “undesirables” will simply no longer be subsidized. So if you or a loved one depend on any kind of governmental assistance… count on it going away 100%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s tragedy of the commons on a supermassive scale. No one comes out on top in the end, the overprivileged just take a little longer to die. But die they will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Billionaires, royalty, that thing works on anyone really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, and a simple wooden construction with a movable metal blade keeps billionaires on their best behaviour. Or at least it did in the 18th century.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go into debt if you have to⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have like 3K, if you come up with the other 19997000 we’re golden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caveman technology⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The wifi naturally accumulates in underground spots.

  Or was that radon? Always get those confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweden says China denied request for prosecutors to board ship linked to severed cables⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny that they think they ultimately have a say in the matter. Maybe they should ride Putin’s dick even harder and start a trade war. If both Eu & Us pull for the same team, china won’t be abke to get rid of their subpar crap anywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vehicle plows into crowded Christmas market in Germany, killing 2 and injuring dozens⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Perp is apparently a psychiatrist. That’s an… interesting background for something like this, to say the least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon Age The Veilguard Head Won't Reveal Sales Numbers Of Game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That bad huh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh no⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Demodex, the gift that keeps on giving.

  microscopically poops on your gd face, sleep tight

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a little guy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you put it to your ear, you can hear the sound of yourself screaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Garter snakes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So just like hognose snakes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There could be (rare) upsides. If they go through with 50% or higher tarrifs, electronics prices in EU might come down due to dumping.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Casio made an Oura Ring alternative that's everything but smart⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems rather bulky for a ring also. I wonder if it snags on a lot of things while using your hands normally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In general, people on Lemmy don't want high effort or high quality posts that take longer than 30 seconds to digest.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m planning to make a “comeback” of sorts once I have better pictures to post. Until now it’s been cell phone pics, the next batch will be high res macro images with a sigma lens.
