The same way “anyone” could make an HTML5 compliant browser. The reality is you can’t do it unless Google lets you.
- Comment on YSK that Elon Musk now hates California. He lives in West Lake Hills, Texas. He loves to visit Austin. 1 week ago:
To be fair, if I had more than $1M, I wouldn’t introduce myself to neighbors.

- Comment on Optimus is now in its early release program and available to approved customers. 1 week ago:
I remember when nobody associated with Optimus was a billionaire.

- Comment on NBA legend Jordan in court as NASCAR anti-trust case begins 1 week ago:
For me, it’s that he put profits over people. decentfoot.com/how-many-people-died-over-michael-…
Sneaker related violence was a big deal a few decades ago in the US, and Air Jordans were at the center of it. He apologized plenty for it, but never actually changed anything.
Shaq and Stephon Marbury were big NBA stars, but they sell their shoes for like $25, because they don’t want to fuck people over.
- Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 2 weeks ago:
What’s bullshit about content creators? I enjoy watching documentaries from The History Channel or The Learning Channel. If someone does a bunch of research and self-publishes a documentary, they’re somehow less valid?
The article isn’t about anybody “making money off the fediverse”. It’s about finding a way to make the fediverse viable, considering that everybody wants to use it, but nobody wants to donate.
- Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for bringing it up. Nobody likes to talk about money in the Fediverse, but it’s a fact of life.
I’ve stopped making Peertube videos lately mainly because I got tired of donating. We’ve got to come up with a better solution.
- Comment on How many instances have you been orphaned from? 2 weeks ago:
Wow, that’s huge. When Vlemmy went under, it was the 16th largest, so about the size of Feddit.nl or Pawb.social today.
- Comment on How many instances have you been orphaned from? 2 weeks ago:
I remember hearing about it. How big was it, in comparison to the others?
- Comment on How many instances have you been orphaned from? 2 weeks ago:
I heard about Lemmy.one, but I didn’t know Kbin was gone.
- Comment on How many instances have you been orphaned from? 2 weeks ago:
No, I’m talking about instances that just disappeared without a trace. Maybe I’m just unlucky. (or maybe I’m bad luck for instance owners)

The rise in backyard swimming pools in the 50-60s was a backlash to public swimming pools becoming desegregated.
Anyone who tries to tell you America isn’t a racist country is racist.
- Comment on Ysk that tether is planning to move its headquarters to El salvador. 4 weeks ago:
As soon as I saw El Salvador, first thing I thought of was Bitcoin. Not my thing, but you do you.
- Comment on So sad to see a really old guy driving an expensive sports car 5 weeks ago:
Would you rather see him scraping up coins for bus fare?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
That’s pretty funny. Dark, but funny.
It’s not my cup of tea because I’m trying to avoid politics right now, but I’d definitely recommend it.
- Comment on am I cooked chat 2 months ago:
Or look at the bright side. The biggest asshole you’ll probably ever meet just walked into your kitchen, and the only thing you have to lose is a minimum wage job.
- Comment on Lemmy needs AI. 6 months ago:
Finally, a chance to cash in on my bored lemmings.

- Comment on Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which? 7 months ago:
Just Peertube. I’ve been orphaned from my Mastodon instance and I don’t think I’m going to sign up for another one.

- Comment on Lemmy vote aggregation idea 8 months ago:
My pet peeve is people downvoting in communities they aren’t subscribed to about posts they aren’t interested in. They just sort by new, and when they see something they don’t like, they smash that downvote button without even looking at the post or contents.
Part of it is because we all have unlimited votes; people vote without thinking. It would be different if everyone had a finite number of votes to use. And you get awarded a few votes for making a comment or post. Maybe award extra votes for commenting in small communities.
This would serve 2 purposes. 1.) People would use their votes a lot more thoughtfully. 2.) It would encourage people to comment and post more.
The downside is that someone could set up a bot to spam posts and comments into a dead community just to rack up votes.
- Comment on The RTX 5070 reviews are in, and let’s just say people aren’t happy 9 months ago:
Let’s face it, Nvidia doesn’t care if you buy a gaming card or not right now. You can complain, but they can’t hear you over their money counting machines.
Nvidia is only selling enough gaming cards to keep their market share from falling too low. All the rest of their silicon is allocated towards data center.
- Comment on M stands for money 9 months ago:
My Mastodon instance disappeared a few weeks ago, so I’m getting a kick out of this post.
- Comment on YSK: Your language settings in Lemmy might be wrong 9 months ago:
Thanks. Mine were wrong.
- Comment on Why aren't all rooms holodecks? 9 months ago:
I’d say the biggest reason is energy, like everyone else. But also, being able to make your room into any fantasy scenario you want would probably lead to problems with adjusting to everyday life. They don’t need a whole ship full of Barclays screwing up at their job.
- Comment on Meta in talks for $200 billion AI data center project, The Information reports 9 months ago:
I don’t have a problem with these companies building new data centers, but when it comes to powering them, they need to pay the market rate; no subsidies or tax credits.
I should not have to pay more out of my pocket just so Meta can get electricity at a lower rate than I do.

I saw the SR+RoadCraft package on Steam. I might check it out.
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
I’m still playing Mudrunner. Is there a big difference?
- Comment on [deleted] 9 months ago:
I agree with CameronDev, not so much on the capacity, but the bandwidth. At 100+ Gb, the Ryzen/Core platforms are really holding you back with their weak I/O.
If you need that much memory, you might be better off picking up a used Xeon/Epyc from Ebay. Their CPU speeds are lower, but the quad channel RAM could make up for it, depending on what you’re trying to do.
