Hi there!
- Comment on The world is only about me 6 days ago:
I love how Americans need a literal road blocking bump to hit with their tyres to figure out when to stop (and yet because their cars are gigantic that’s overshooting anyway).
I remember being so confused by the weird concrete stumps for ages when I lived there at first. It’s just not a thing here…
- Comment on Minecraft is getting a visual overhaul you probably don't need because of all of those mods you've got installed 1 week ago:
So long as there’s an option to retain the normal experience, especially for those on older hardware that can’t run fancier stuff. Then it’s all good!

Alas my TV (LG WebOS 2) doesn’t have an application for Jellyfin, or I’d have switched years ago :-(

How are they allowed to give it the exact same name as an Intel CPU line?

I beg to differ mate, if I’m paying by providing you with my E-Mail address which you’re going to use for god only knows what. No thanks.

- Comment on Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday? 3 weeks ago:
I mean well, and I want to have hope for the future, but I’m depressed and have untreated ADHD and a desperate need for therapy, and I do worry that I’m letting all that influence how I talk to strangers online.
I’m probably too harsh sometimes, or not harsh enough, or dumb, or stupid, etc, more often than I’d like.
So yeah, I generally regret or worry over everything I say to everyone at some point or another. I suck xD But I’m too lonely to switch off and not talk to anyone entirely, so here we are.

- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 4 weeks ago:
I agree, I don’t want my browser provider to collect any data on me at all, but if they absolutely must gather the absolute minimum system analytics stats or such they should NEVER pass it to a third party for ANY reason.
You make a desktop browser application, that’s your job, to provide a portal to the world wide web, nothing more. Stay within your bounds and we’ll never have any problem.
- Comment on YSK: Your language settings in Lemmy might be wrong 4 weeks ago:
I wonder if it’s English, or American English 😅
- Comment on Stop using anti-evil language 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think it’s used as a verb, a Goon would perhaps hench? Even that feels like a stretch though.
Hmm, I’m not sure what singular verb you’d use to describe a hired henchman/goon’s job…
- Comment on 'Traditional unions struggle to understand tech sector' 4 weeks ago:
You’re saying if the workers at that company wish to raise an issue as a group, like holiday hours, pension plans, or clothing policy changes, they should simply… murder their boss?
Seems a little extreme, no?

- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 1 month 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 month 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 month 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 month 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 1 month 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.”
