- Comment on Uber Eats is adding AI to menus, food photos, and reviews 6 days ago:
I mean, you wouldn’t actually want to eat what you saw in the ad. Meat painted with wood varnish to make it shiny, cardboard spacers between layers of a burger to make it stand up more, white paint in the thick shakes, etc.
- Comment on "Steam Did Not Respond To Us": Collective Shout Defends Calling On Payment Processors To Ban Adult Games 1 week ago:
Why do payment processors have to be concerned with age ratings at all?
- Comment on Wood heater pollution is a silent killer. Here's where the smoke is worst 1 week ago:
That poor efficiency isn’t even compared to a modern heat pump, either. In terms of heat output vs energy consumption, they can be up to 400% efficient.
- Comment on Wood heater pollution is a silent killer. Here's where the smoke is worst 1 week ago:
If we are banning wood heaters, then we should ban fossil fuel cars as well.
This, but unsarcastically. It’s 2025 and people are still buying huge 4WD diesels to drive through the city to the office.
- Comment on Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter 1 week ago:
FYI, there’s a modern Descent-like game called Overload.
It has VR support.
- Comment on Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter 1 week ago:
Fun fact: Overload supports VR.
It didn’t make me motion sick, so I’m confident nothing ever will.
- Comment on New Executive Order:AI must agree on the Administration views on Sex,Race, cant mention what they deem to be Critical Race Theory,Unconscious Bias,Intersectionality,Systemic Racism or "Transgenderism 1 week ago:
You don’t understand: when they say truthful, they mean agrees with Trump.
Granted, he disagrees with himself constantly when he doesn’t just produce a word salad so this is harder than it should be, but it’s somewhat doable.
- Comment on Survey: More Than 1 In 4 Americans Feel They Need To Make $150,000 Or More To Live Comfortably 5 weeks ago:
I’m either going to die in the water riots or I’ll be shot dead by a Google Amazon compliance assistance team for using an adblocker.
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 1 month ago:
The thing is, their anti-adblocking measures are still less unpleasant than actually watching ads.
- Comment on Plex has paywalled my server! 1 month ago:
port forwarding/firewall issues that most people don’t know how to deal with
This sort of thing makes me want to tear my hair out when I hear “Why bother rolling out IPv6 when IPv4 just WORKS!?”
NAT, port forwarding and the problems they cause are seen as expected, just the way the internet works instead of the dirty hacks they actually are. Most people aren’t old enough to remember the time when everything connected to the internet had a routable IPv4 address.
- Comment on The "standard" car charger is usually overkill—but your electrician might not know that [32:26] 1 month ago:
Personally, I’m on an electricity plan that gives me free usage at midday when solar is flooding the grid, so it’s useful for me to be able to charge as fast as possible in that window.
Faster charging is useful for more than just finishing before your next drive.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 month ago:
Because the “Why is the video being slow?” pop-up now sends you to the page blaming adblockers instead of the ISP shaming thing it used to do.
- Comment on Isekai Quartet Season 3 Announced 1 month ago:
I can imagine showing someone the image and saying, “See the evil one in the middle? No, not that one, front middle.”
- Comment on Dune: Awakening Draws Nearly 100,000 Players On Steam Before Full Release 1 month ago:
You sure that guy wasn’t playing on a potato? Low VRAM makes a lot of games look like crap, because it’s either dropping textures or running like ass when you overflow VRAM.
- Comment on Dune: Awakening Draws Nearly 100,000 Players On Steam Before Full Release 1 month ago:
Apparently, but not flawlessly.
- Comment on You really have to reach back to remember how THIS worked in your car 2 months ago:
Instead of running a magnetic tape over the cassette player’s sensor, you put an electromagnet on it powered by the headphone jack. The cassette player just reads the magnetic field and doesn’t know any difference.
- Comment on Billionaire Gina Rinehart criticises ‘relentless attack’ on former soldier Ben Roberts-Smith 2 months ago:
The general public can always use more reminders that billionaires are terrible people who stole their wealth from the people who produced it.
- Comment on Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier 2 months ago:
Most of the EVs in the Australian market seem to be SUV-like
Eh, there’s SUVs and there’s SUVs. Manufacturers have taken to calling everything an SUV because people will pay more that way.
My EV gets called a “compact SUV” but really it’s an oversized hatch.
- Comment on The clueless people are out there among us 2 months ago:
And Linux nerds.
- Comment on On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices down 2 months ago:
Sorry, best we can do is microtransactions, fear of missing out and AI slop. That’ll be $90.
- Comment on Right-leaning Australian opposition leader loses election, and seat 2 months ago:
does he just love that racist asshole look?
It’s his way of supporting truth in political advertising.

- Comment on To whom it may concern 3 months ago:
This. Your mail isn’t going to be opened by the CEO. Hurt the business, not the worker. Mail them a box of rocks or something, the company will pay postage on it and the minimum wage guy opening packages will laugh.

I see !dadjokes@lemmy.world is leaking again.
- Comment on A minority Labor government could be truly progressive – and the conservatives know it | Lenore Taylor 3 months ago:
There’s this weird belief that minority parties are supposed to ignore their own policies and just support whatever the closest major party wants. And not supporting the major party means they’re failing in this duty.
So Labor could drop the plan and blame the Greens for it, instead of actually pushing for their own policy. And the media frames this as a failure by the Greens.
The same media that almost unanimously supports Australia’s right wing conservatives, but I’m sure their opinion on this particular point is completely unbiased.
- Comment on I can't believe it let me do that 3 months ago:
I do, because between every online service being hammered by scrapers training AI and every online service being stuffed full of AI slop, it’s ruining the internet.
- Comment on We are back in sync with lemmy.world! 3 months ago:
Lemmy works by sending a message between servers, waiting for an OK, sending another message, waiting for an OK, etc.
That means if servers are on opposite sides of the world and it takes 0.2 seconds to send a message and get an acknowledgement, you have a hard limit of 5 messages that can be sent per second, even if they’re both on 100 gigabit links.
Lemmy.world was sending aussie.zone about 16,000 messages per hour, which is about 4.5 per second. So around 220 ms per message. And it wasn’t keeping up.
Now lemmy.world has… it looks like two separate connections sending messages to aussie.zone, so it can have two messages in flight at a time.
- Comment on Battery tech really does move fast 4 months ago:
But then you can’t inflate the numbers by putting a 3.7 volt battery in a power bank, listing the capacity in amp-hours and implying that you get that many amp-hours at the power bank’s 5V output voltage.

- Comment on Women earn 78 cents for every $1 men paid on average. 5 months ago:
I mean, where I work we’ve hired every female applicant we’ve ever had and we’re still at around 98% male. I’m not sure what we could even do about it.
