  Hopefully not. Dogs shouldn’t eat that kind of thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Much better than my current Samsung fridge where that obnoxious Samsung rep has to come every week to plaster a new ad on the door. At least it won’t leave glue all over the floor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's date is 3²/4²/5²⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's date is 3²/4²/5²⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  (In the US)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can get a licence from Nintendo if you like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  the biggest selling feature of Windows is its ability to be backwards compatible and run on older hardware

  Really? I thought it was supposed to run older software, I don’t think hardware comes into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As a non windows user, I don’t get to interact with Microsoft systems an awful lot, but to me windows 10 felt like a complete system while windows 11 always feels like an early beta for some reason. It has some kind of unfinished, wet paint quality to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS JUST IN: FBI suspects Kirk was likely targeted, more info to come⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Those guys are professionals and it shows. Amazing work in just a few hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh Oh: Nintendo Just Landed A ‘Summoning’ And ‘Battling’ Patent⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Shouldn’t take them long to patent the concept of “game”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it just me or does this look more appetizing than a watermelon?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a Vaterwellon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex got hacked.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, but what if it’s only hashed 80 000 times? Should I sue my provider?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, we have a favourite rapper?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex got hacked.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was securedly hashed! We used ROT13! Twice!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨5 tomatoes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think AUs are just meant to mean “far away (like much further away than the pub)”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3138: Dimensional Lumber Tape Measure⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The tree was 2x4, I’ve no idea what they’ve done with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Well, shit.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, so that’s what the Delete button does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO 26300⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I used Applix on Unix / Linux and it was fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO 26300⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Dvi file then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar-powered Logitech keyboard appears on Amazon Mexico — MX Keys S look-alike promises up to 10 years of power⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So you need two of them, one in use, and one charging in the garden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another creative solution from APPLE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re just jealous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have this corner in my basement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, since you’re being so nice about it, my advice is to kick your partner out and get the cat you always secretly wanted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have this corner in my basement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having examined the picture for several minutes, I can indeed confirm that it is a corner.

  I’m not sure what size it is, as you’re using mediæval units, but I think a cat tree would probably fit in there. If you don’t have a cat, just put the tree, and leave the door open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I saw what you did there⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just have your friend sit on the side of the bucket to stabilise it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tea is basically just salad water.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lettuce famously was (and sometimes still is) braised (other salads are cooked as well), so the answer to that is, 'that depends".

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Four wheels good, two wheels bad: why are there no exciting cycling games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Walking is even slower, but there’s no lack of walking games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, you can store data on a bird — enthusiast converts PNG to bird-shaped waveform, teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/s⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There was an amusing short story about a guy who could do actual math in his head (I think it was by Asimov).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No title and I can't stop laughing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, right, I hadn’t even noticed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No title and I can't stop laughing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never remember which one is Bert.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You packing heat?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds great when you want to tan your hamster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For the last 20+ years, I’ve been trying to get people to understand the point of free and open formats with pretty much zero success. For the most, they just don’t care if somebody else owns all they data. Maybe if something really bad was to happen to them or a loved one as a result, they’d change their mind. Then I’d get to tell them “that’s what I’ve been telling you for literally decades”, but what would be the point?

  Not technical people will never get it.
