British are pretty welcome. Bring tea, cookies and the office guy. :)
- Comment on Be the change you want to see in Lemmy 6 days ago:
Yeah. But its nice to have this platform. Its existence shows that people dont need big tech platforms to find eachother and communicate. Its not perfect but its a stepping stone and an inspiration for others. :)
- Comment on Be the change you want to see in Lemmy 1 week ago:
I guess I need to check it out again. If that is true, its amazing.
- Comment on Be the change you want to see in Lemmy 1 week ago:
I dont know. Not sure what can be improved, because that site keeps sending the majority of users to the large instances. Its against everything the fediverse was supposed to be. Decentralized. Not 5 instances having all users.
But whatever. Im happy on my smaller instance. :)
- Comment on Google is on the Wrong Side of History. 1 week ago:
Nobody is shocked.
- Comment on Nothing a whole lotta *COPE* can't fix 2 weeks ago:
Haha thats good advice :)
- Comment on Nothing a whole lotta *COPE* can't fix 2 weeks ago:
Its ok :) I think people having weapons is a source of a lot of bad things, but also a lot of good things. So its a mixed bag. I dont like being in a country where I cant protect my family from intruders. But I like that its rare with school shootings.
- Comment on Nothing a whole lotta *COPE* can't fix 2 weeks ago:
Im not prepping for doomsday, I think its better to die in that scenario. But having some form of self defence, im all in favor for that. Police comes after someone has been murdered, not before.

If you live in the US, I guess you can? Its pretty hard in Europe to get armed. :)
- Comment on Nothing a whole lotta *COPE* can't fix 2 weeks ago:
I havent watched the news in like 20 years. I feel quite calm. Whats the point of worrying when you cant do anything about it?
- Comment on Eat that ramen 2 weeks ago:
It gets worse when you get a kid, cant sleep at night, and a house mortgage for life. Just figured I would cheer you up. :p
- Comment on I'll have one war please 2 weeks ago:
USA vs Greenland… Yeah. That war will be over in a afternoon.
- Comment on No good excuse to still be on Xitter 2 weeks ago:
We are racists when it comes to operating systems. No windows allowed.
- Comment on Give permission. Don't give permission. They know where you are anyway 2 weeks ago:
You can set up wireguard vpn on a tiny instance in Amazon or Google, and bounce traffic through that one. Then you control what gets logged (Amazon may have logs over all outgoing connections from all instances somewhere though).
- Comment on Dating apps could have negative effects on body image and mental health. 2 weeks ago:
Haha “could have”. :)
- Comment on Study of 8k Posts Suggests 40+% of Facebook Posts are AI-Generated 2 weeks ago:
AI can put together all that personal data and create very detailed profiles on everyone, automatically. From that data, an Ai can add a bunch of attributes that are very likely to be true as well, based on what the person is doing every day, working, education, gender, social life, mobile data location, bills etc etc.
This is like having a person follow every user around 24 hours per day, combined with a psychologist to interpret and predict the future.
It’s worth a lot of money of course.
- Comment on Chinese-Made Patient Monitor Contains a Secret Backdoor 2 weeks ago:
That ip address at a university is probably forwarding everything to some Chinese government agency. Now they can just blame the university and remove any trace of the real guys.
- Comment on Anyone ever look at pictures of themselves as a child and feel no connection to them? 2 weeks ago:
No but I look at how old people looked when they were young, and it’s always a shock.
- Comment on Pakistan Cracks Down On Free Speech Online. 3 weeks ago:
Sounds like Lemmy. Someone says something not based in science and it’s reported as misinformation. :)
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 3 weeks ago:
Path of Exile 2. I really like that feeling of progress. No other game has that feeling of not wanting to stop playing because you want to see what happens when you get the next skill or weapon or armor.
- Comment on Sweden seizes vessel after damage to Latvian underwater fiber-optic cable in Baltic Sea over suspicions of sabotage 3 weeks ago:
I’m amazed Sweden can do anything without apologizing for it.
- Comment on After Musk gesture, activists project 'Heil' on Tesla plant 3 weeks ago:
I can’t really come up with a response to that without sounding like I’m better than you, but… Yeah. I think I may be.
- Comment on After Musk gesture, activists project 'Heil' on Tesla plant 3 weeks ago:
No because it’s nothing wrong with thinking that, and it definently doesn’t make someone a nazi or even a racist to desire your own culture in your own country.
It makes perfect sense.
- Comment on After Musk gesture, activists project 'Heil' on Tesla plant 4 weeks ago:
I think you are deep into some kind of social media bubble here, and you think I need to pull my head out… :)
- Comment on After Musk gesture, activists project 'Heil' on Tesla plant 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think 300 million people in America are suddenly fascists, no more than I believe than Musk decided to openly declare he is a nazi in front of the world’s TV cameras.
None of this makes sense and it’s scary that you guys don’t see that. More scary than what he did.
- Comment on After Musk gesture, activists project 'Heil' on Tesla plant 4 weeks ago:
Yes I have save the salute comparison, but do you think he decided to tell the world he is a nazi in front of the world’s TV cameras? I really think there is something wrong with you guys and how you think, since you actually believe the man is a full blown nazi now because he made a gesture. And he profits from all this discussion since he owns Twitter!
- Comment on After Musk gesture, activists project 'Heil' on Tesla plant 4 weeks ago:
He doesn’t. Don’t you realize that social media manipulates you for clicks, for money? Elon Musk has been around for decades, now he makes one gesture, in front of all cameras, and people think he is a confirmed nazi? It’s just ridiculous. If I make that gesture, I’m a nazi too?
I think this is from the same playbook as Trump, just get attention, any attention. Stay in the spotlight and have people talk about you. That’s what he is doing.
- Comment on After Musk gesture, activists project 'Heil' on Tesla plant 4 weeks ago:
If you actually believe that, you need a break from social media. :)
- Comment on After Musk gesture, activists project 'Heil' on Tesla plant 4 weeks ago:
He is not a nazi and he won’t kill Trans people. Sometimes I think people never leave their social media apps and they just sit there, believing everything is horrible outside their front door.
- Comment on Work-life balance more important than pay for employees worldwide 4 weeks ago:
Probably not in America…
