• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bring Trek into everything⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly use the one I’m fancying at the time. If I want a more rural feel, I’ll go with “otes” as in “votes”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're still on Reddit...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I just occasionally go back to shill for Lemmy. Pretty sure that hurts them more than helps. :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Healthy snack⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Let me think of a good name for it. Let’s see, it hangs and holds a banana. How about we call it the “banana hammock”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Mediocrity of Modern Google.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, searx and no looking back here too. The only downside is it’s OotB experience isn’t the best, so you should spend a minute configuring it to add more engines than just google. Oh, that and the occasional outages, but they seem to be less common lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨XPG Prime tuning app dumps 50GB of anime girl photos in Redditor's temp folder⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the headline makes it sound like the software was downloading anime girl pics, not just duplicating the ones that were already there. Pretty misleading IMO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks reddit, very helpful.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe you and your sister should RTFM together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fediverse has a bullying problem⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just as a mild counterexample, I’ve personally changed my views quite drastically over my time on reddit and now lemmy, and most of it was from individuals just sharing their own perspective.

  I held some latent bigotry and misogyny, part of which I picked in my day to day life, and partly from 4ch. I won’t say I’ve eliminated it completely, but I think I’ve become a better person from my interactions online.

  If we’re not out here trying to actively learn from and help other people, then what the heck are we doing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it rude to reply using English under posts in a language you can’t speak?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  While I agree, the best practice is one you can do regularly. If duo’s gamification helps you keep actively studying, then while maybe not the best way, it’s better than nothing.

  Ideally the best use of duo is minimally, as a springboard to keep you doing other more immersive studying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it rude to reply using English under posts in a language you can’t speak?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  いや、大丈夫だよ。

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Teaching my friend’s kids about Linux and python, and watching a movie with them afterwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually kinda nice that he’s not going nose-dive straight into the ground. Getting a steady stream of users is better for Lemmy’s culture, than a full exodus event, imo. It gives us a chance to not be reddit, but something better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pikachu Becomes Viral Symbol of Resistance During Anti-Erdoğan Protest In Turkey⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, the adoption of corporate “owned” copyright/trademarks as mascots of anticapitalist backlash just makes me happy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your best supernatural anime?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine would have to be Natsume’s Book of Friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tough choices⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mon dieu!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How chatbots could spark the next big mental health crisis.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The AI industry certainly does.

  If you’re going to use an LLM, it’s pretty straightforward to roll your own with something like LM Studio, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blobfish⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Damnit, I’m going to see this everywhere now, aren’t I?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Porn button might actually be runner-up to Esc.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  OK, you asked for it. I’m binding super+P to open pornhub in a private window.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I did read that there were some input issues with the d-pads not working, but that was also 2 years ago. So you’re right, I should!

  Pretty sure I’ve got an old drive around somewhere that I could toss it on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d just be scared of windows trying to clobber my nix partition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really want to put Linux on my gaming PC, but I’m doubtful I can get my Rift S working on there. :/

  Apparently there is an openxr driver for it, so I suppose I should at least give it a shot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've done it again...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh well, guess I’m eating pasta this month. ¯\(ツ)/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Frites⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Frites is a portmanteau of the words “French” and “frites”, so it’s still just “frites”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is that performant screenshare (to multiple users) more or less requires infrastructure. That requires money, and it’s impossible to compete on price with services that have the VC-enshitification model.

  You can get around this in a few ways, but they’re all tradeoffs that are in some way or other worse than discord.

  • P2P - sacrifice latency
  • direct multi-stream - sacrifice PC performance and/or bitrate
  • paid infrastructure - sacrifice cost
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There Have Been Times I Liked The Villain Dynamics Better⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of an all evil campaign I played in once.

  I recall “heroically” leading the towns militia into a wererat den on the night of the full moon, only to lock them all in together and finish off the stragglers on both sides afterwards. Turns out militiamen’s scalps look awfully similar to those of reverted wererats, and we turned quite a profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The memes, they write themselves.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m oversimplifying here, but it’s because it requires conformity. Everyone has to change themselves to fit the system, and if they can’t or don’t, then they are generally not treated very well.

  The polar opposite problem is when there’s too much individual freedom and people are allowed to harm others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do tell!!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw a video once, so I’m pretty much an expert in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fedi 4chan?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC, someone was talking about their p2p text only 4chan clone recently. I forget what it was called though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The popo using cybertrucks would really be the cherry on the techno-feudalist hellscape pie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anime Corner's Top 10 Anime Openings of 2024⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Orb deserves to be on this list. The opening is a banger, and the way it changes throughout the series is super well done.

  It’s definitely the most underrated anime of the past 2 seasons, along with its OP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In January, billionaires amassed more wealth than the poorest third of humanity owns.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The billionaires are already in the business of inventing new currencies as a method of wealth extraction. So unless the nee currency is billionaire scalps, it’s not going to do anything.
