  I seriously considered it and quickly ran into a technobabble of networking, no clear direction on plex vs jellyfish, no clear idea of what hardware to buy, etc.

  Like a number of Roman emperors or European kings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Google AI has dementia

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well despite Trump coal has been being phased out for decades. I’d look at how it does vs natural gas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you a renewable resource?

  Then let’s hope that AI will pay to play it.

  Every girl on online now does the choreographed k-pop arm moves when they dance like they are landing a plane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely but Lemmy isn’t monolithic like reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to disagree with you there. History shows the mob is rarely much better than the despot and the mob becomes the despot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d think then you’d hit the issue of a total echo chamber where anything even slightly challenging the mob gets deleted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mods should be forced to indicate what rule was broken when banning. All bans should be appealable on reddit and addressed by a human being. Mods who have a history of frequent ban overturns should be suspended or banned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have very little sympathy for reddit mods. Too many of them are petty little tyrants with no checks on them. I hope the door hits them on the ass.

  “Let’s get rid of our longest running users, that should help the site move forward.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is like suing the phone company over phone calls. Sorry but the man involved was responsible, not the communication mediums.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is testing full-screen Microsoft 365 ads in Windows 11 for expired subscriptions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Consumer or business? I can see businesses but I have yet to run into a consumer, who isn’t an enthusiast, who is even aware of Linux.

  Jesus K Rist he is stupid.

  Better loosen gun laws some more, that’ll fix it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The US has always had an anti-immigrant streak. Whoever the last group are they are unhappy with the next group. The Irish were not welcome, except by Tammany Hall, then the Italians were suspect. The Chinese have always been seen as suspicious and we all know what happened to the Japanese in WW2. Interestingly those of German descent haven’t been suspect, probably because they formed a large chunk of the US (PA, OH) and Eisenhower had German ancestry.

  I doubt any country has never had an issue with someone seen as outsiders.

  Gotta get people to replace their tvs somehow so dangle an “upgrade”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where did we go wrong⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Horny, nerdy, sci-fi writers.

  Based on TV shows in the future everyone on the planet will wear the same jump suit and boots uniform or the woman will wander around in silk robes. The show Buck Rogers said everyone will wear spandex, especially the female officers.

  I don’t understand how taco bell survives in my city when I’m surrounded by dozens of real mexican restaurants and food trucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If that is the case then I’d like to see how aware they were of what was happening. I’d push for criminal charges against management in that case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say it has more to do with pandering to religious conservatives to keep them in their pocket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. government takes 10% stake in Intel, as Trump expands control over private sector⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The loss of intel, its facilities and staff, would be a pretty hard blow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. government takes 10% stake in Intel, as Trump expands control over private sector⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While I don’t trust this administration in the slightest this isn’t unprecidented:

  • In 2009 he U.S. government took an initial 9.85% ownership stake in Chrysler as part of the company’s bankruptcy restructuring. The government later sold its stake to the Italian automaker Fiat in 2011, exiting its investment completely.

  • As part of the auto industry bailout in 2008 and 2009, the government received a 60.8% equity stake in GM. The government sold its final shares in 2013.

  • American International Group (AIG): In its bailout, the U.S. government provided roughly $182 billion in aid and at one point held an almost 80% stake in the insurer. The government sold its last shares in 2012, ultimately making a profit.
