Hi there!
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 1 week ago:
Boost, it was the perfect Reddit client for me and now it’s the perfect Lemmy client, I didn’t have to sacrifice any aspect of the experience.
God I love you, Boost my beloved 😍
I’m on Android. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I give Steve Jobs a penny.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
I use the Boost app for Lemmy so it basically feels exactly like the ideal Reddit experience felt back then, which is fantastic.
As for being put off, the only thing that really bothers me is the extreme hatred for Windows and the deepthroating of Linux. It’s creepy.
Like, I love Linux and use it for many things alongside Windows, but I don’t get obsessively weird about it to the point of creating memes or going out of my way to tell people why they’re wrong for using one over the other, you know?
If that were toned down I’d certainly feel a little more relaxed, but on the whole the Lemmy experience has been lovely <3

That’s because it’s illegal and you’re committing a crime on behalf of your employer.
- Comment on New bird flu variant found in Nevada dairy cows has experts sounding alarms: ‘We have never been closer to a pandemic from this virus’ 1 week ago:
Yes, when I visited the USA during COVID people actively got into my face and coughed at my face. Intentionally, to be clear.
This was out in public in places like supermarkets.
Absolutely abhorrent people. I’m glad I’m back in Europe for the next pandemic, much safer.
- Comment on And he doesn't even chip in for tolls. 1 week ago:
Kinda ruined by having website branding slapped in the middle of it, especially as the majority of the poster is, if we want to talk creative property and such, ripped off from an old WWII poster.
But yeah, regardless of the why, it is very poorly placed and draws the eye far too much. There’s a reason such copyright statements are in small text in a corner, not plastered in the literal middle of an image.

- Comment on As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories? | Frances Ryan 2 weeks ago:
Decent wages don’t cure sicknesses that require a functioning healthcare system, alas, and that’s our biggest problem at the moment, with regards to large numbers out of work.
I know people who can’t work because of an illness that the NHS can treat, but the waiting list and hoops to jump through to obtain treatment can be literally years long.
They want to get back to being healthy and working, but the national services they need to get there basically just don’t exist any longer…

Um they’re red not blue, duh.
I wonder how many of us didn’t vote for either of the main parties? Hmm. Pity it wasn’t more.

You reminded me of something I read from back around when that bloke got elected, regarding amongst other things, the decline in the rule of law mattering to society…
“The greatness of Rome, brilliant with repeated marks of prosperity, has gradually faded… the ancient glory of military prowess and valour has almost passed away… by the growth of wealth and luxury.
The Roman world is falling: yet we concern ourselves with trifles… We heap up riches that perish and bury our gold in the earth as if we were piling up treasures in a lifetime of prosperity.
Rome was great and could tolerate its own vices as long as they were held in check by some degree of virtue; but when our hands ceased to uphold the laws, when avarice and luxury sapped the nation’s strength, the state itself lost control and went its way.
The finest men were shut out from office by the lowest dregs of society, who, having won the favour of the mob by base means, ventured to grasp at the highest offices.
The greater her glory, the more incredible it seems that she has been brought so low.
Empires are mortal. Rome has perished. Though she was built upon such firm foundations, Rome has sunk by her own weight.”

- Comment on Sen. Lindsey Graham lobbying for investor Scott Bessent as US Treasury secretary 3 months ago:
Given the batshit crazy other people that seem to be put into the other positions… I assume this guy doesn’t believe in money and thinks they should instead switch to a system where basic necessities and housing are provided by your employer, and everything else must be earned through hard work and a points system at your company and government run stores… right?
Or is it even crazier than that 😅

Ah yes, technology videos are really bad. Especially that Technology Connections guy, he’s the absolute worst.
And don’t even get me started on technology video reviews, tutorials, guides, educational materials and tech news. I only consume technology information in newspaper form. This new video thing just won’t catch on.

This new coddled baby internet for children where you can’t say adult words is getting tiring.
When does the adult internet come back?

Love Bill, when I saw him live last here in Manchester he was trying some new material, hung a joke on the punchline using the word juxtaposition, and nobody laughed because they didn’t know what it meant xD
God, I felt embarrassed to realise the bar for education here is that low…

Good point, it’s hard to build up a media presence and an audience when you’re such a short little one and done thing.
So lovely though :-) I might try to get my friends to watch it with me this spooky season
