- Comment on Ideas for a better Lemmy experience 1 week ago:
I could go for closing stale communities. There are some that have been vacant/inactive for years now. I mean communities with zero posts or comments.
If somebody wanted to takeover or revive one of them, they would’ve done it by now.
- Comment on ROCm on older generation AMD gpu 1 week ago:
A couple of years ago, I bought a Radeon laptop, just to see how things were going with ROCm. It worked out ok, but convinced me not to buy a discrete Radeon GPU for my desktop.
I decided to buy another Nvidia card, and finally start investing in NVDA.
- Comment on I can't be the only one who learned this the hard way 2 weeks ago:
I guess it affects different people differently. The Buldak brand is the hottest I’ve tried so far.

It’s 21.1 and ⁹⁄₁₀ cents per gallon?
- Comment on Reddit to lemmy reposter 4 weeks ago:
As long as you enable the ‘bot’ tag, so I can block it, it’s fine.
Lemmy needs to stop trying to copy Reddit; community names like Earthporn, Foodporn, F*ckCars etc. Voting is broken on Lemmy because it’s broken on Reddit.
The biggest thing Lemmy needs right now is commenters. We have more than enough news links with no comments.

We’ve got you covered from the inside and out by offering a full line of top-rated fiber supplements and other personal care products to keep you feeling confident.The male version = “be ready and confident for backdoor sex!” Like dude, can you make it less obvious? This is gonna be in my shopping history.
- Comment on Loops publishes their recommender algorithm 1 month ago:
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 month 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 month 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 month 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 1 month 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 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 1 month ago:
I heard about Lemmy.one, but I didn’t know Kbin was gone.
- Comment on How many instances have you been orphaned from? 1 month 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)

- Comment on YSK: the abolitionist history of pumpkin pie 1 month ago:
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. 2 months 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 2 months ago:
Would you rather see him scraping up coins for bus fare?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months 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 3 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. 8 months ago:
Finally, a chance to cash in on my bored lemmings.
- Comment on Is there any community for Linux for noobs ? 8 months ago:
- Comment on Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which? 9 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 9 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 10 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.
