  LOL. Yeah, we’re animals man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My world is so much better because of immigrants⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolute agreement there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My world is so much better because of immigrants⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be. Really thought it was pizza. Gonna be hard to unlearn this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My world is so much better because of immigrants⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmmm, I’ve “known” that for a long time. I know pizza in Italy is not the same as pizza in America and is typically eaten with a fork and knife. Maybe that’s what I was thinking or maybe I’m confusing it with a different supposedly Italian food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My world is so much better because of immigrants⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You make a good point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My world is so much better because of immigrants⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t agree more except one little nitpick. Pizza was invented in America.

  I’m pretty sure I disabled/removed it when I got this phone. I don’t specifically remember doing it but when I get a new phone, I watch some YouTube videos on how to purge all the crap I don’t want.

  I read an article that mentioned using command line stuff to eliminate it and it kind looked familiar. I think I did this. I really should write stuff down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t find Gemini on my phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the downer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous, but this article made me feel better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Student visa applicants will now be forced to make their social media accounts public⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why the hell would anyone apply for a visa to come here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, exactly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you sure? Sounds like how it used to be, you know, before people were taken off the streets by masked men.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there nothing that he won’t fuck up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL. That’s not what I meant. Unfortunately it is what I said.

  What I should have said is, if you are going to use a number after a decimal point (or comma in Europe) then why not use the right number. My bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Strange. If you’re going to use a decimal point, why not the right one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Electrical engineer. I’m nowhere near as useful as an electrician.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Electrical engineer. Never used 3. Always 3.14. don’t really get the joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never played the others. I play with my friend overseas every Monday. He chooses the games. He may have chosen it because it is cooperative, online and not PvP. IDK.

  But we also play, Aliens, Grimm Dawn, all of the borderlands games, like literally ALL of them including Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. Two is my favorite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Diablo 4. I mean, I know it is easy, but I felt the version of Halo I played was way easy and it has a good reputation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protip:⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s kind of disgusting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As I mentioned, I didn’t really know where to post it. I guess my lemmy-foo isn’t up to snuff. I saw that this appears to be in lemmy.world, but only 10 options came up when I tried to post and none of them really seemed right. Comments?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for the thorough response. After looking carefully at what you wrote I didn’t really see a difference between the term self-hosting and home network.

  You said you have software that automatically downloads media. The way I see this using movies for instance, if I own the movies and have them on my machine, then I can stream them over my network and have full control. Whereas if I “own” them on Amazon and steam it from there, they can track the viewing experience, push ads, or even remove the content completely. I understand that… But if I want a NEW movie, I’m back to Amazon to get it in the first place (or Netflix, or Walmart, etc. I get it). I’m fact, personally I’ve started actually buying disks of the movies/music I like most so that it can’t really be taken away and I can enjoy it even without an Internet connection. Am I missing something? Unless of course the media you are downloading is pirated.

  I know I’m asking what seems to be a huge question but I’m really only asking for a broad description, sort of an ELI5 thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow! Thank you all for the civilized responses. This all sounds so great. I am older and I feel like I’ve already seen enough ads for one lifetime and I hate all this fascist tracking crap.

  But how does that work? Is it just a network on which you store your stuff in a way that you can download it anywhere or can it do more? I mean, to me that’s just a home network. Hosting sounds like it’s designed for other people to access. Can I put my website on there? If so, how do I go about registering my domain each year. I’m not computer illiterate but this sounds kind of beyond my skill level. I’ll go search Jellyfin, weird name, and see what I can find. Thanks again!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is Docker?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never posted on Lemmy before. I tried to ask this question of the greater community but I had to pick a community and didn’t know which one. This shows up as lemmy.world but that wasn’t an option.

  Anyway, what I wanted to know is why do people self host? What is the advantage/cost. Sorry if I’m hijacking. Maybe someone could just post a link or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they are sociopaths that have zero empathy for those they deport.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you come back?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Consumers now face "tariff surcharges" for some goods as companies pass along costs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know some of the tariffs have gone into effect but can any product sold today possibly have been imported in the last couple of days? Sounds like they are getting a premature jump on the upcharges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US small business owner says China tariffs endanger her company: ‘I could lose my home’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No. She’s supposed to CREATE the factory and make jobs, you know, immediately.
