- Comment on Save as PDF 4 hours ago:
Yeah, if you print to a printer what you’re most often doing is saving it as an Adobe PostScript file and sending that to the printer. PDF is similar, just with extra bells and whistles.
- Comment on Cross Section 2 days ago:
If radishes go the full bean here on Lemmy, I’ll expect to see this posted again in 3 days with a silhouette of Saddam Hussein hidden somewhere.
- Comment on If vegetarians eat vegetables, and humanitarians eat humans, what do Bavarians eat? 1 week ago:
Humanitatians are not that broad in diet, they only eat people who study culture and society (the humanities).
- Comment on Interesting 1 week ago:
I had a car shaped rewinder when I was a kid.
- Comment on Almost there 1 week ago:
As soon and my alarm goes off I think “Ok, 9 1/2 hours”
- Comment on Do people eat this? 1 week ago:
It’s oddly good. To do it right use unsalted butter and then add season with salt and pepper once the butter is melted.
- Comment on Update: Disrupt the Amazon/Melania movie premiere weekend 1 week ago:
If I were an Amazon exec I’d hope for this. The bribe has already done its work and if no one sees they film there will be fewer complaints and bad reviews written about it.
- Comment on Meta's latest subscription move is an attempt to offset its AI bets 1 week ago:
I haven’t touched a facebook product in almost 15 years and my life has been nothing but better for it.
- Comment on Google pays $68M to settle claims its voice assistant spied on users 1 week ago:
Google did not admit wrongdoing in the settlement of the class-action case
A settlement is an admission no matter what Google says. Headline should read, “Google Admits To Using Its Consumer Hardware To Spy On Users.”
- Comment on The world is ENDING in 2026! 2 weeks ago:
The world ended in 2012 and now we live in the death gasps

- Comment on How many active robots do you think exist today on this planeeet by your best estimate ? 2 weeks ago:
If its dealers choice there are almost certainly more robots than humans. Every washing machine, dishwasher, automatic garage door opener, and grill with an automatic rotisserie could be considered a robot, as they automate labor.
- Comment on Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE 2 weeks ago:
My old ring is in a box ready to go to electronics resell/recycling. Maybe it needs a meeting with my friend Sledge before it goes out, so it can’t hurt anyone again.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You should lock any app which you don’t want casual users on your phone to access.
children notwithstanding, what other users are people letting use their phone? No one uses my devices but me.
- Comment on If only 2 weeks ago:
I usually had the faster CD burner available. Bought my discs in 50 packs.

Dick Sargent, of Parts: The Clonus Horror fame.
- Comment on The Something Awful Forums 3 weeks ago:
I did a brief stint there in the 00’s after a photo of me ended up on Cliff Yablonski Hates You.
- Comment on Been pondering this all morning 3 weeks ago:
Bears who go bed shopping are excellent cooks. What that not the lesson of the story?
- Comment on Things used to be simpler 3 weeks ago:
There’s a missed opportunity for a dad joke in the first panel.
“I’m depressed”
“Hi Depressed, I’m Freud” - Comment on Are people still fooled by this dumb quiz's? 3 weeks ago:
You’re just getting stuck because you don’t have an IQ of 420, like the quiz said I have after watching some ads and giving them my SSN.
- Comment on The old icons were better 3 weeks ago:
We just need to update them for the modern times. For save the icon would be a storage datacenter. For dialer it would be an nsa data center. For browser it would be a google ai data center.
- Comment on Tender chicken 3 weeks ago:
3.6. Not great, not terrible.
- Comment on You shall not cut! 3 weeks ago:
That’s not to avoid cutting pepperoni. There was no reason to shape the 2 pieces at the top like that… other than being a pizza sadist.
- Comment on Tender chicken 3 weeks ago:
I assumed a mean dish was one that was right in the middle of the statistical data points for that dish. Did math lie to me?
- Comment on Amazon is forcibly upgrading Prime members to Alexa Plus, and users are not happy 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I hadn’t really considered writing an integration but this is more general purpose than my universal remote.
- Comment on Amazon is forcibly upgrading Prime members to Alexa Plus, and users are not happy 3 weeks ago:
My hope is that I can use custom sentences to send values to a script or service that, in-turn, will trigger an appdaemon app where I can do all the work in python. I’m not sure about returning the calculated value as a response though.
That’s how I built my harmony hub replacement.
- Comment on Good night sweet prince 3 weeks ago:
The phrase “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” is in order of most-to-least good for the environment.
- Comment on tryna get hella faded 3 weeks ago:
Nope, gotta be lit. But it’s worth it, trust me.
- Comment on Amazon is forcibly upgrading Prime members to Alexa Plus, and users are not happy 3 weeks ago:
It worked for Microsoft. The month after they started to force install Teams in windows they published user numbers showing how teams had sprinted ahead of Slack by that metric, and the tech press mostly ate it up.
- Comment on Amazon is forcibly upgrading Prime members to Alexa Plus, and users are not happy 3 weeks ago:
It being dumb was a selling point. I’ve wanted to dump it for ages but my wife used it (mainly for timers and unit conversions) somewhat frequently. But as someone who spends most of her day dealing with problems caused by LLM slop, she refuses to ever use them herself.
I also promised I’d do my best to get Home Assistant Voice set up so it can do math and unit conversions (sans Truthiness engine).
