• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't you agree that individuals that went back to reddit are the same type that don't want to stick to different stuff assuming that everyone else has done their research?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I sure wish the Reddit-obsessed would stick to their Reddit community. I am so sick of hearing about that place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are having sex in self-driving cars, apparently⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  People have been having sex in the backs of taxis and Ubers for decades. That’s with another human in there. I suspect more people are willing to do stuff in a car when they feel like they are alone (they are being recorded on video). Especially inebriated people who are headed somewhere to have sex anyway.

  And the logo is a scorpion for some reason?

  I’ve been in multiple fantasy football leagues over the years that have had teams named “Orange Line Jumper”.

  Not much, what’s a gcup with you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anyone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No, but doctors are generally empathetic people. When I turned 45, I needed the exam for the first time. When I was bottomless and bent over the table, I told my doctor that I was very nervous about it.

  He said to just try and relax and he placed a hand on my right should to reassure me. When the exam started, I said I was still nervous and so he placed his other hand on my other shoulder to continue to reassure me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A little history on Reddit. From the politics subreddit with just 85,678 users in 2008 to 500 million active users today. Lemmy/Kbin will follow the same path.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Shills, activists, trolls, state actors, and advertisers follow the eyeballs. They don’t give a crap if it is on the fediverse or some other platform.

  If the fediverse capabilities can’t evolve to provide controls, then it’s doomed to failure. It’s already bad enough that bot accounts will create a new community then spam the crap out of it to appear on the “hot” view. Expect this to be turbocharged as the US enters another election cycle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The creator of Pixelfed announced an upcoming encrypted messenger for the fediverse that will work across the fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not leaving Signal until someone implements keeping data at rest encrypted on both ends and requires multi factor unlock (bio+pin is my choice).

  So sick of E2E clients that leave the data in plaintext on the devices and then back it up in plaintext to the cloud.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI System Detects Social Norm Violations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh good, the family feud method of social norms. No value judgement, just “Survey says!”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitter’s rebrand to X may actually be happening soon⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve heard of an ex-boyfriend, now meet your ex-social media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your preferred fitness tracker/smartwatch?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. I love my Charge 5 and don’t foresee changing to anything else in the near future. My only annoyance is google taking it over and enshitifying the app experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists observe world's 1st repairing metal — are self-healing robots coming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So I am not giving that clickbait title a view. Anyone have a summary? What is new here? Self-healing materials aren’t new, and stainless steel is self-healing so the whole “first time” claim is obviously B.S. unless it is tied to some specific novel property.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok is the most popular news source for 12 to 15-year-olds, says Ofcom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Chairman Pooh must be pleased that his propagandists now have unfettered access to the worlds largest repository of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” knowledge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[META] So... about the bots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Some bots are annoying for sure, but I love the sporting event bots that keep the match information updated in semi-real-time. I don’t see an issue with bots that are identified as such, it’s easy enough to block them (practically a requirement for any news community that has bots posting).
