- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 1 week ago:
The protocol is 30 years old. It has been replaced 3 times over by thunderbold. The connector doesn’t fit on most modern devices and has been replaced by usb-c.
Why would anyone want it back?

Is the wish to bring back an outdated communication protocol or an outdated connector?

Thunderbolt is already integrated in usb-c.
- Comment on Switch 2 vs Steam Deck: the Cyberpunk 2077 face-off 2 weeks ago:
In theory it makes sense but in the past buying digitally as opposed to physically hasn’t netted anyone any savings. And with the new system where the card doesn’t even hold the actual game, it’s an even worse offering.
- Comment on Solar becomes EU’s largest electricity source for the first time 2 weeks ago:
Good news! Hopefully the EU will have its energy independence sorted enough to stop importing from Russia as soon as possible.
- Comment on Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 | OFFICIAL TRAILER 2 weeks ago:
That’s part of what made it great for me. You can’t have a show hype up this strong and feared character without showing them off a little bit. The second part was the climax of the buildup of the first. Can’t wait to see what they have in store for season 2.
- Comment on Attorney General: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools 3 weeks ago:
Historically, every time there’s been a push towards progress, there’s also been a push back by all the cockroaches that consider tradition the ultimate model for self expression, which is where we are now. Usually after some violent struggle of a variety, the progress wins out eventually. Hopefully this is not an exception, but we might not see it in our lifetime.

Critique of the dear leader is forbidden. Freedom truly is dead.
- Comment on Reminder that you do not own digital games 4 weeks ago:
Sure, that is the alternative, but nothing will beat the wide range of functionality that steam and valve provide. The death of this platform would be catastrophic.

Hate to think what will happen when Gaben retires.
- Comment on What's a good instance to be on at the moment? 5 weeks ago:
I beg you, please take care of yourself if it’s needed, take time off, relax, get help from others. I think you have a philosophy to not take money out of the donations, but speaking as one of the contributors, I think that’s unfair considering the amount of work you put in.
What I’m saying is just do what it takes to not let it lead to burnout. I don’t think anyone that understands the value of this instance would mind.

DVRs are back in 2025. Who would have thought?
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 5 weeks ago:
The developer, Spiders, seem to be experts at creating mediocre games with very small budgets, and again they didn’t quite have the money to take it all the way with greedfall, but they did make more than a mediocre game in my opinion. For me it was memorable enough unlike others mentioned in this thread.
- Comment on Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable games 1 month ago:
You enabled in your settings to see porn, steam keeps it disabled by default. They even give 3 different options for the level of prudishness that you want. Go to store preferences and disable sexual content and you’re done.

I wonder how a must of a click smells like. Ah, you mean must have clicked. Autocorrect am I right? Right? Image
- Comment on Android 16 is here 1 month ago:
Security updates have been separate for a while now, no? So within reason an older version of android shouldn’t be detrimental.
- Comment on fireflies 4 months ago:
I’ve seen them in the mountains or more wild areas multiple times, both in eastern and western Europe. You have to be outside during the night so most likely camping.
- Comment on Every Country That Has Their Own Lemmy Instance 4 months ago:
Spain had smaller presence on Reddit as well. They tend to keep to other spanish speaking forums, often shared with Latin America.
Basically because there are so many Spanish speakers in the world, spaniards don’t even bother to learn English or interact with the broader internet.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 5 months ago:
Honestly, joining a community just for the type of content they have or what they filter is useless. Best approach for me is to have access to everything and then filter what you don’t like by yourself.

Hasn’t been updated for a while unfortunately.
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 5 months ago:
I used it until recently thinking the same, but it just became too broken for me. I’m on thunder now and I got it to work exactly the way I used sync and everything seems to actually be working.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 5 months ago:
I specifically remember looking up tables of who defederates from who and what instances allow NSFW or downvoting because this was an issue among some of the top instances back then.
I ended up making 4 different accounts over 2 months until I landed on a server I’m happy with. That will never be acceptable to any normal user.
Every time someone brings up these issues, people here downplay them like you are doing it right now and nothing is ever done about it.

Same for me. It’s like going back to the dark ages.
- Comment on heat your body, not your house -- using an infrared heat lamp 6 months ago:
Apart from an electric blanket, in my experience nothing really works when your house is cold. Latest gadget I tried was a 700w infrared panel in the bathroom since these have been hyped recently. It’s… fine, but far from the confort traditional heating offers. Mostly you feel warm on the side that radiates the heat and cold all over any other side. Also it takes so long for it to get warm, I’m done by the time it’s useful. I thought 700w will be overpowered, but nah. Not even close.
I’ve stopped believing in the heat the human not the house mantra. It just leads to perpetual uncomfortable state any time you’re transitioning from activity to activity, or you’re just freezing your butt off as you’re washing dishes or loading the washer or any other activity where your heart rate is not up.
A better approach I think is to insulate the house then live in confort.
- Comment on If reality worked the way hiring managers and job interviews thought it did companies would have to fire everyone when they purchased new software since no one would have any experience using it. 8 months ago:
No idea about privilege, but when I was struggling to find a job, that was a lesson I learned as well. Instead of applying only to 100% fit which is what I was doing, I started applying to the 50% and everything in between. This increased my chances of talking to someone at least, but also increased the amount of work I had to put in applying to everything. But just like in sales, after you get that first call, the chances of getting somewhere are much higher, so some things have to get flexible to make it happen.
