- Comment on what lemmy web app do you use and why? 1 month ago:
Had Boost on Reddit. Now on Lemmy. No complaints
- Comment on Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time? 1 month ago:
That’s my biggest pet peeve, when it auto suggests words that don’t exist.
- Comment on Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps 2 months ago:
Well I guess 60 GB wasn’t enough space for the 10mb update
- Comment on Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps 2 months ago:
Is that the one where MS updated the recovery partition by including a file that’s too big for that default partition? I had to manually resize my recovery partition to fix that issue
- Comment on 400,000 species 2 months ago:
I used to work with a lot of young people and some of them told me they hated the Beatles. So I would randomly play Beatles songs and occasionally ask them what they thought. Turns out they never even listened to the Beatles except for maybe a couple of pop/radio songs. It was just a fad to hate on them
- Comment on What are y'all buying on the steam sale? 3 months ago:
I picked up Solasta. Pretty decent, but awfully linear with no real RPG choices. Worth $8

Gave it 3 games filled with hackers.
- Comment on eBay hit with $3M fine, admits to “terrorizing innocent people” 5 months ago:
Yeah like secretly attaching a gps tracker to the victims car. These guys are psychopaths.
- Comment on Has google stopped working for finding anything? 5 months ago:
The biggest issue I have is that half my results come back as videos. Video results should be in the video tab. I don’t want to watch a half hour long video just to find out how to make a healing brew in ark.
One paragraph would convey the information 10x faster than any video could - Comment on How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone? 6 months ago:
When I had a motorcycle. This was a daily use item. Now I only use them when out on walks/hiking
- Comment on Why Bother With uBlock Being Blocked In Chrome? Now Is The Best Time To Switch To Firefox 7 months ago:
I haven’t had any issues with browser compatibility since IE. Occasionally Safari might have some CSS issue, but it’s been probably 10 years since I had any major issues with browser compatibility. Html 5 and CSS 3 tend to work across all browsers without issue.
- Comment on X's CEO tells staff data will show efforts to fight hate, as advertisers flee 7 months ago:
As a CEO, they should know that data is pretty much available instantaneously. It’s all digital.
- Comment on Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way 7 months ago:
This has been a non issue for some time.
It takes less than 15 seconds for me to boot to desktop. If I put it in sleep mode I save about 5-10 seconds. Hardly worth it IMO.
- Comment on im not sure why i made this 7 months ago:
Just need to add Spock singing “Bilbo Baggins” and this fever dream would be complete
- Comment on Assuming a button that, every time you push it, your intelligence goes up. The obvious and sane thing to do is to push the button all day. Yes? No? Maybe? Is there something that I'm missing here? 7 months ago:
Insanity is only a button push away.
- Comment on Cruise recalls all self-driving cars after grisly accident and California ban | All 950 of the General Motors subsidiary’s autonomous cars will be taken off roads for a software update 7 months ago:
GM saved like $2 on an ignition switch and killed 13 people. They knew about the issue for years. So yeah, GM doesn’t care if a few people have to die in order to turn a profit

Oh man I thought I was going to have to get another mobile provider. But thank goodness it’s not about Mint mobile
- Comment on Scotland's salmon industry wants the word "farmed" scrapped, prompting claims of "greenwashing" 8 months ago:
I would be okay with removing the word “farmed” provided they sold the salmon as is. No pink dyes, just a gray carcass.
Then you wouldn’t need to distinguish between farm raised and wild caught. The difference would be obvious - Comment on CEO Bobby Kotick will leave Activision Blizzard on January 1, 2024 | Schreier: Kotick will depart after 33 years, employees are "very excited." 8 months ago:

Time to polish up my resume.
- Comment on I accidentally removed the WHERE clause from my SQL query in a personal tool. Every row is now the same. I lost everything, have no backup, and I'm stupid. 8 months ago:
This is a good lesson to learn the hard way. From now on, my guess is you will have dozens of backups.
- Comment on How is the security level of PHP in 2023? 8 months ago:
PHP makes up like 80% of all websites worldwide.
I must is missed the security concerns, I didn’t start programming in PHP until 2003.
- Comment on Alternative ways to run Plex? 8 months ago:
Subtitles yes. Not sure about transcoding. VLC is a pretty robust application with decades of development.
- Comment on Alternative ways to run Plex? 8 months ago:
I stopped using Plex a few years ago. Now I just cast the video to a Chromecast. VLC or cast via browser.
It’s not going to work for remote, but if all you want to do is cast movies to a TV, it’s a simple solution - Comment on Return to the office? These workers quit instead. 9 months ago:
Obfuscation ftw

- Comment on 'Where ambition goes to die': These tech workers flocked to Austin during the pandemic. Now they're desperate to get out. 9 months ago:
When I lived in Austin in the 90s, I would leave the windows open about 9 months out of the year. Since the early 2000s, that’s become less and less.
