  Sounds like a great band name

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pixelfed introduces Loops, a Short-Form Video App⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would so much like to love peertube, but I have yet to find any instance that hosts the trash reevant to my interests. Mostly they either are filled with reuploads from YouTube, or are full of radicalized conspiracy theories (which I encounter very rarely on any other form of fediverse).

  And then there is the “dumploads”, which makes the instances seem like they only have one active contributor, as they dump like 60 videos right after another, resulting the frontpages to have just one note content. This, however, could be gixed by otion to group conecutive uploads as “[latest video] and [n] other videos from [user]”, which would help to find more diverse content, as well as discourage dumping.

  Then again, that is only my opinion, and if PeerTube is fine for others, who am I to complain. It just doesn’t seem to be for me :/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which of the Fediverse projects are worth getting into?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is also “Owncast”, but it seems to suffer from the same issue that peertube does; there is no integrated revenue system for the streamer, so there is little reason to put effort in to the quality, as well as it being fairly unknown, so even if you set up donos etc. the audience isn’t there.

  The discoverability don’t help, since there isn’t really s good way to filter out all the “24/7 radio” -streams, so even if you actively follow the frontpage, or a category, you have to skim trough them manually. Also, there is no proper language filter (at least if you don’t have an account), and it seems it’s more popular with non-english speaking streamers.

  Because banning plastic straws is more visible to consumer, and takes less from the profit margin of the companies?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastic overdose⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, in my country they’ve replaced the straws on those 2dl juice boxes by a flimsy paper straw that disintegrate with any contact with any liquid, and can’t punch trough the tiny METALLIC seal for the straw hole. These useless paperrolls are packed in pladtic, and gued to the side of the box…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't we just talk about it without the maths? Guys?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I remember correctly from my hazy years of school philosophy classes, it was Thomas Aquinas who suggested it. Who was a friar, so that’s why the assumption of the religion.

  Also, I understood the core idea being that God isn’t what IS the beginning, but that the point where human mind can’t comprehend beyond is God. Which, back then, and even now, I considered to be a lazy copout for a philosopher, as the point of a philosopher is to test the limits of our understanding.

  Then again, for friar to state that the end solution is not god for their thinkings, at that time and place, would’ve probably result in being positioned as a centerpiece of a bonfire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Its most common use case is interrupting games⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is actualla good feature then, if you need it for accessibility… But why on earth does it need to prompt you to enable it with such an annoying way? To my knowledge, it’s the only accessibility option that agressively advertises itself specifically when you don’t want, or need, it to.

  More logical behaviour to prompt the enabling would be if a “modifier” key, and “non-modifier” key is pressed in sequence, but not at the same time. As the assumption of sticky keys is that the user is not able to press two buttons down simultaneously.

  That said, it is likely that a person who has need for this feature, but is not aware of it’s excistence, would not use other modifiers than shift, as they are needed exclusively for hotkeys, which is on the far end of the learning curve (as mouse, and right klick are more apparent to learn), and if such feature is needed, it’s excistence is apparent at the time you start to use the systems via hotkeys. Instead, if you hammer shift repeatedly while typing, it indicates that you light benefit from tjis feature. Thus only requiring detection of the writing cursor being active, which is already possible, because there is an accessibility feature to highlight that. I know this, because a fresh install of windows suggests that you go trough accesdibility on first startup.

  Sorry, I know you’re not developing Windows UI (but what do I know, if you did), but I kindawanted to rant a bit about such an apparent solution to a problem that has plagued from Win 3.11 at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're going in the wrong direction⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I got annoyed about that, and found a browser addon that changes the url from shorts to videos.

  I guess someone atr the cable, or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some underrated instances of the Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to like peertube, but the discoverability is terrible, and last I checked, it was pushing mostly cinspiracy theories. And every time I try to see around, it’s just impossible to find an instance that would host interesting videos. Also, I find hopping around instances feels awkward.

  Also, it seems to consist of “video dumps”, resulting the instances having the “new” videos being hundreds of videos posted by just one user. It’s just… not there for me, eben though I love the idea :/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Quick Subscribe" missing in most Lemmy apps⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If I’m not mistaken, the preference was to be able to subscribe to the community, as you see it on your feed, as you resonate with the content posted alongside the core implication of the community. Going to another website to search said instance just to subscribe,is much MORE work, than 3 clicks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sun Burn⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, the skincolour technically does two jobs; while darker skin protects you better from sunburn, the lighter skin also absorbs vitamin D from the light (and darker skin also protects ou from getting too much of that D). That is why the skincolour gets lighter, the more north you go, as the sun does not provide as much said vitamin.

  Why am I mentioning this, well, the traditional bane of nordic hemisphere people is depression due to the lack of said vitamin D, during the time the sun just don’t come up, so if anyone with a darker skintone migrates here: remenber to supplement that extra D, because even the pale snowpeople have issues getting enough naturally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon and politics, what do you think?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Quite precisely. This of course would cause a “bubble”, but would also preserve their unhinged posts for the media to highlight.

  And if they come to something like mastodon.social, many will mix up human right violations as “just your everyday political opinions”, and get the boot, so it’s more handier for them, as a party, to curate what the party represents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon and politics, what do you think?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There is nothing wrong with politicans using mastodon, and they will start using it when ex-twitter statistically show losing popularity. However, the same rules apply for the politicans, as does anyone else. That’s why they’ll probably start creating their own instances for their parties. And luckily people can decide to not to follow them (god I hated twitter when there was any local, or American voting going on. The promotional spam was unhinged).
