- Comment on Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine 6 days ago:
What I’m understanding is imgur could get fine even if they dont offer their service anymore in the UK.
They could go back to just after the law passed and tell them “hey you were infringing on this extremely disrupting law that would completely change your business in the UK so pay up”.
I mean if a business just decides to not serve UK customer they should leave them alone… Especially such a complex law for something like Imgur…
- Comment on Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fine 6 days ago:
Wow :
“We have been clear that exiting the UK does not allow an organisation to avoid responsibility for any prior infringement of data protection law, and our investigation remains ongoing.”
It’s insane. They could be fined even after entirely leaving the country ?
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 1 week ago:
This is why I didn’t bother switching to GOS, Lineage, Calyx etc despite being sick of Apple’s anti-foss monopoly — marketed as Privacy™️ and Security™️ — for years.
Bullshit. If you liked so much your freedom and privacy you would have many opportunities to use open source ROMs. You chose to stay on your iPhone because it was easy.
After already having to change my services and workflows multiple times over the last 2 decades
I can’t believe someone who has been for years on an iPhone would pretend they are an ardent defender of freedom and open source.
- Comment on Relooted - Game made by South Africans has been bombarded by right-wingers 1 week ago:
I think the devs are making a mistake by reacting interacting the trolls.
They are people frothing at the mouth and sent on that steam page with a political agenda. It seems the devs think they will “change their minds” after they brought the topic of slavery for no reason…
So I will add this to my wishlist check if I can report the posts that are straight up insults or racists and move on.
The trolls in question can’t stand that this game might be successful and there is nothing they can do beside review bombing at release which should trigger Steam’s detection.
Don’t feed the trolls and entertain them with a discussion…
- Comment on Abu Dhabi royal family to take stake in TikTok US under Trump deal * It will become platform owned by different bastards 1 week ago:
Why do you think there will be two tik tok ?
I see no mention of that in the article. It’s just various bastards sharing a business they stole in various shares.
- Comment on EU tax officials confront the most pressing legal question of our time: If you sell RuneScape gold to someone and they use it to buy a magic sword, do you still have to pay taxes? 1 week ago:
VAT fraud is harder but my god when some people achieved it they pretty much unlocked a money spawn glitch IRL…
- Comment on How many hands long do they get? 2 weeks ago:
In the same theme I think they can now add the Gulf of America…
- Comment on How many hands long do they get? 2 weeks ago:
I think it technically suggest the use of the metric system but doesn’t mandate its use. And so practically speaking its not used much outside of science fields.

- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 3 weeks ago:
Take their ESU extension to get one last year of W10 update. At least it gets you time to see if you can migrate on linux maybe.
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 3 weeks ago:
It could go tits up indeed with a pod name like that.
- Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack | LeshiCodes 4 weeks ago:
Just dont name your pod “Titan” just in case.
- Comment on Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good 4 weeks ago:
I’m very thankful to Kevin for this amazing launcher that I’m still using to this day.
Also a bit disapointed he trusted Branch and gave them the opportunity to ruin it.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Are you guys sure it’s a good idea to send all our most evil people on the same island ?
I’m sure the sentinelese don’t want a nazi secret lair out there, or another “epstein island” for that matter.
- Comment on How Do I Validate My Game Idea? (Please Help) 4 weeks ago:
Not many mentioned that but maybe a publisher can help ?
My understanding is that the right publisher could give you good feedback for your game and can have good knowledge of what works or not. I’m not saying like some big publishers but one that shares your vision for the game and could help.
- Comment on Google quietly removes net-zero carbon goal from website amid rapid power-hungry AI data center buildout — industry-first sustainability pledge moved to background amidst AI energy crisis 4 weeks ago:
Governments need to regulate businesses for pollution.
Politicians don’t want to hinder the businesses in their country compared to abroad.
Nobody regulates pollution.
Profit ?
And yet many people will still vote in some politician that probably was saying they would regulate and fight against climate change*
- America is an exception : they elect directly someone that destroys climate for money. It’s more straightforward apparently.
- Comment on YouTube is now flagging accounts on Premium family plans that aren't in the same household 5 weeks ago:
What I’m not ok with YouTube premium :
-
The price is too high for a subscription. For that price I could get thousands of movies on a competing service like Netflix.
-
Even if you tzkr YouTube premium they are still farming your data and selling it to third parties.
So even if I watch a ton of YT I refuse to pay to sell my data.
If I pay for YT they have to not track me and not sell my data (at least data coming from YT).
So yeah taking YT is hassle free but is quite the scam if you think avout it. Before paying you were the product. After paying you are still the product but on top of that you give them money.

If I cup my throat and relax my balls will it have the opposite effect…
So many questions !
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I would make everything look like CoD and not let anybody join a match of their choice (no match browser). Also the field will be 70% smaller so that players dont get bored or miss shots. Who wants to watch missed shots anyway ?
- Comment on What if you tried to run Windows malware on Linux? 5 weeks ago:
Depends of the hacker.
I suppose some government blackhat could do such thing for a very targeted hack. Still unlikely though.
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 1 month ago:
I just find full brick based architecture absolutely horrible.
So if everything is red bricks I think it’s ugly. And in London suburbs j felt like everything was made of bricks. I remember taking a suburb train and being shocked that almost every single building had those red bricks.
To each their own I guess but full brick style is not my thing for sure.
- Comment on Digg's new app is basic, but a great start 1 month ago:
I was wondering, is there anything preventing AI to train on the content on Lemmy ?
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 1 month ago:
I thought the issue was sand/silica and the fact that we may exhaust the ressources to do cement eventually. It takes a lot of sand materials if I recall correctly ?
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 1 month ago:
I hate bricks.
I went to the London suburbs and still think it was the ugliest building style ever. Bricks everywhere, bricks on walls separating houses, brick train stations, brick city buildings, brick houses… Bricks bridge ?
I just can’t stand those brick based cities. I think it’s just as bad or worse as going full on concrete.

- Comment on 248 Legally Deceased "Patients" are In These Dewars Awaiting Future Revival - Cryonics 1 month ago:
But the point is that people will continue to die and believe in that kind of thing. A bit like religion…
Obviously space could become an issue especially if some kind of revival never happens… But at the price they set I think it’s prohibitive enough.
There will never be a shortage of fools for this kind of services.
- Comment on Steam: Updates to User Review Scores Based on Language 1 month ago:
What if I actually want to see the review bombing and it’s effect before buying the product ?
Really, the more I think about this change, the less convincing it is. It will hide review bombing of games that might have warn you of something… I think it will just muddy and make the Steam way harder to assess and use.
- Comment on Steam: Updates to User Review Scores Based on Language 1 month ago:
I personally don’t look forward to this new feature. I dont want my local language to be used. And that will be one more program that will constantly nag me about if I want to translate some review or only shows the one in my language by default.
I just want to use my currency and being able to just speak English.
I dont want steam to become like Firefox and decide for you that you do need some translations for stuff…
Since I dont think the language you speak should have any relevancy to the quality of the game I have no interest for reviews that are not in English.
So I just hope this “let’s localize for you everything” trend will stop.
I dont want french reviews of French games made in france. I just want English reviews of games and the score for all reviews.
Currently the localization of the reviews is the thing that I dislike the most with steam which goes to show how good I think the product is.
- Comment on Microsoft reportedly fixing SSD failures caused by Windows updates 1 month ago:
Thanks for the feedback. I genuinely thought that since Epic Games was saying that online matchmaking wouldn’t work it was hopeless.
But I will be really pumped if I don’t have TL reboot on Windows to play RL.
- Comment on Microsoft reportedly fixing SSD failures caused by Windows updates 1 month ago:
I think It may actually work indeed !
I’m gonna retry it but initially it’s this post that made me think it was over for RL on linux :
epicgames.com/…/rocket-league-support-for-macos-a….
I will definitely try again in case it’s just Epic Games saying it won’t work but proton saving the day.
Thanks for the correction I truly thought Epic had killed linux RL via their anticheat.
