  Excuse me, the meme very clearly specifies it is a form of ballista since it works off of bent spring power

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just speak normally⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just passed the post you meant to reply to and it clicked for me. Weird!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just speak normally⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am so confused by your comment. Did you comment on the right post? What would you make smell bad in this context

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨About 40% of the world's power generation is now renewable⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not all gas, coal and oil are consumed to generate electricity. Lots is converted directly to energy in engines, furnaces, or other direct uses for the materials. They are saying that the title refers to 40% of the total electricity production is generated by renewables.

  He is doing an big steppy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I find communities on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Right now that is a bit of a sticking point with Lemmy. Right now, as far as I can tell, none of the apps for lemmy really do discovery.

  If you are on an instance with a large amount of people, the easiest way is probably your instance’s communities list. This can be found by going to your lemmy instances web domain (in your case programming.dev) and log in. On desktop it will just show a little “communities” link in the top left you can click on, on the mobile site you have to tap trending -> explore communities.

  What this “communities” list does is list every community that anyone on your instance has subscribed to. Subscriber and daily active user numbers may not be accurate as they as far as I can tell only count your instance’s users.

  What I did when I first started lemmy was go through this list and subscribe to any community that remotely interested me.

  The place where you will be able to see the absolute most number of communities is a lemmy indexer like lemmyverse which lists almost all instances and has all of their communities listed.

  Other than that, though, I think discoverability is something actively being developed on the lemmy platform.

  Hope this was helpful and you enjoy your time here o7

  I assumed it was that or a selfhosted instance, yeah. I just think its fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s taken 9 years but I’ve finally competed Light City Run on Trials Fusion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Congrats! Its always satisfying when one of those mechanics finally clicks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help identifying this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I love your usertag + instance name combo

  First season was fantastic, so pumped for the new one! Here’s hoping they can keep up the quality level!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Use of AMD Anti-Lag+ technology in Counter Strike 2 will result in a VAC Ban, Valve confirms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I see what you’re saying but you’re comparing $500-1500 for a PC to the millions of dollars you need to even prototype an F1 car, let alone transport and race it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bike Riders of lemmy, you okay with me riding my eScooter in the bike lane?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in Canada but I would definitely say the scooters in the bike lane are no more trouble than a slower cyclist. Scoot a away!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google kills Jamboard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I often wonder how many of my “Aha!” moments are related to background data I didn’t notice consciously at first

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google kills Jamboard⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s actually what the tab heading says if you open it in browser. “Google Graveyard - Killed by Google”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trolling chatbots with made-up memes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t mean to argue against the usefulness of LLMs entirely, they absolutely have their place. I was moreso referring to how everyone and their dog are making AI assistants for tasks that need accurate data without addressing how easy it is for them to present you bad data with total confidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trolling chatbots with made-up memes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for putting it far more eloquently than I could have

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trolling chatbots with made-up memes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This demonstrates in a really layman-understandable way some of the shortcomings of LLMs as a whole, I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Red Dead Redemption 2 listed for Nintendo Switch on ratings board’s website | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We wanted 60fps mode for other systems, but a switch port is most definitely going to be the opposite of a 60fps mode was the point I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For those with larger phones, how do you handle them without grip accessories?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I use it one-handed. My pinky supports the bottom of the phone, rest of the fingers support the back, I navigate with my thumb. If I need to type for an extended period of time I use both thumbs to type more quickly.

  Absolutely, I’ll just get it on sale when the modding scene is mature.
