Yes to all of those.

Are you sure? It’s not like you can drink the water. And how much life is there really once you get away from the coastal shelf?

Actually, we should be thankful for their divine presence.

Wait, are there still servers for EQ? That’s a blast from the past.
- Comment on Court Orders Google (a Monopolist) To Knock It Off With the Monopoly Stuff. 2 weeks ago:
I love how the problem isn’t the people being hurt by monopolistic behavior, but other companies.
We really are fucked.

Haha no, it’s a meta post about the rules.

I think you clicked the wrong comment to reply to.
- Comment on Stop whining. Do it yourself. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but everyone seems to be expecting Lemmy to just turn into the high point of Reddit. Reddit wasn’t built in a day and neither will Lemmy be built in a day.
- Comment on Stop whining. Do it yourself. 2 weeks ago:
You could always go over level up. Like instead of a crochet community and a knitting community you could have a yarn community that incorporates all types of weaving with yarn.
- Comment on Stop whining. Do it yourself. 2 weeks ago:
And then post it in New Communities and other boards like it to advertise it!
- Comment on Sidebar Rules Are Updated 2 weeks ago:
Looking at the Lemmy.world legal terms it looks like they’re mostly concerned about Child Pornography and actual illicit drug transactions. I would refrain from posting anything that’s illegal where you are as well, but obviously I can’t tell what that might be. So no I wouldn’t expect a small town in Texas to be moderating legality here any time soon. To be honest I’m pretty sure that rule is there for liability reasons, it’s certainly not something that I would use unless it’s blindingly obvious like someone making a community to trade murders. (conspiracy to murder generally being illegal everywhere, and murder trades being a weird but real thing.)

Well sure, I can’t compensate you but if you wanted to do that I’d let it do it’s thing.

I’m not sure, how would that even work if they haven’t provided the link?

Uhh, nobody famous?
- Comment on Microsoft fires employees who organized vigil for Palestinians killed in Gaza 2 weeks ago:
The event wasn’t similar to other events. Other events didn’t have a high chance of pissing off major clients. I feel like we need daily Public Service Announcements, “Your employer does not care about you, they only care about your effect on their profits.”
Over and over again we see this lesson. And while I applaud anyone willing to risk their job to protest their employer’s clients, I’m not going to act surprised when they get fired.

Hey, I resemble part of that remark and resent the other part!

That era started in the 1700’s Again Smith ranted about a lack of accountability in corporations.
- Comment on Militaries Are Rushing to Replace Human Soldiers with AI-Powered Robots. That Will Be Disastrous, Experts Warn. 2 weeks ago:
While those are great points, what do we do when Canada invades with kill bots that fire as fast and accurately as an online FPS cheat bot and we can’t even get a shot off?
I didn’t think these researchers realize why the military wants a switch to have a weapon go AI. The military absolutely wants people in the loop, but they also want the capability to turn it all over to the onboard computer if need be.
- Comment on What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs 2 weeks ago:
Otoh, Roblox is evil and you could just use the switch to Linux to be like, “oh no, I guess we can’t have Roblox anymore!”

Anyways then you and your entire family and social group die in the same event, like a volcano burying your village.

That doesn’t sound like letting other people do what they want.

The idea that locking phones is good for customers is a great example.

You’re glad other people can’t access it because you don’t like it?

There are good short form videos. There are also bad ones. No different than long form video.
- Comment on YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index 3 weeks ago:
Oh for sure. I proved that when I got out, stopped working out, and didn’t adjust my portion sizes. But the me that I am now, is all my fault and not anything to do with BMI measurement.
