Yeah, Epic is shitty, but compared to Google they’re good.
- Comment on Google loses app store antitrust appeal, must make sweeping changes to Play Store 4 days ago:
Yeah, Google became such a shitty company. Used to love them, now I’d like to see them fail.
- Comment on How to disable Microsoft Recall & stop the AI from taking screenshots of your desktop. 5 days ago:
apt install as the basics? It’s not even needed. Try LinuxMint, it’s way more simple and usable than Windows, no shell commands necessary
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 5 days ago:
I agree. It feels like Hacker News; it’s better than having the general public saying stupid things in every comment.
- Comment on Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was. 1 week ago:
The French need to bring back public square executions for the ruling class.
- Comment on The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived 1 week ago:
And now everybody think it’s normal. It wasn’t.
- Comment on The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived 1 week ago:
We would need politicians to be the victims. Then these fascist laws will suddenly be cancelled.

But more fascists
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 1 week ago:
In Italy we have PagoBancomat, but that’s a debit card, not a credit card.
If you buy online, you can also use PayPal connected directly to a bank account, no credit card necessary (PayPal is also a shitty company, but sometimes there’s no alternative…)
- Comment on Ice cream trucks still around? 1 week ago:
Same when I’m in Denmark, I love it. Too bad we don’t have them down in Italy.
- Comment on How come Lemmy rarely shows up in internet search results? 1 week ago:
Yes, you need people. But I’d say Reddit has too many people. The Ethernal September problem: sometimes, small is better.

You don’t say!
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but trust me. People in Zurich only learn German and a bit of French, they don’t care about Italian or Ladin.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Or if your native language is similar to the one you’re trying to learn. If you speak Danish, learning Norwegian is super easy, learning Swedish is easy.
If you’re Italian, speaking Spanish is easy, writing French is easy (even though actually speaking it is harder than Spanish given the strongly different pronunciation).

The Mac bootloader (and for now, who knows about the future). But what about iPhones and iPads?

Yeah, fuck Pinterest, W3Schools, and those Stackoverflow clones
- Comment on The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon 4 weeks ago:
Not owned by Amazon, but there’s a big but.
Their source of income is from Amazon affiliates link. Whenever you follow the price of a product, if you click on the links on their websites or in their emails, they will earn a commission from Amazon.
Amazon recently started vetting their affiliates more. I’m 100% sure that camelcamelcamel now shows data in a way that doesn’t hurt Amazon (e.g. they won’t show sudden drops in prices, i.e. pricing mistakes) or even themselves (commissions are a percentage of the price paid by the user).
- Comment on The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon 4 weeks ago:
Also, AWS is so much more expensive than going with your own server.
- Comment on The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon 4 weeks ago:
It’s worse than Amazon. It’s just cheap crap that will break in two weeks without any of the quality products that Amazon sometimes has.
- Comment on ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing 4 weeks ago:
Also, the fact that they removed Lidar sensors and just base their self driving on cameras is plainly stupid.
- Comment on Fart kontrol 4 weeks ago:
Hmm I’ve been to Sweden and I’ve seen many fart kontrol signs. I know because I took funny selfies in front of them
- Comment on Sleeping beauty bitcoin wallets wake up after 14 years to the tune of $2 billion 4 weeks ago:
This sounds fishy.
What if somebody found out the private key for those accounts? Like, brute forced them?
Is it even technologically possible?

Yeah, the French already showed us that everything can be taken care of in the main square
- Comment on Millions of websites to get 'game-changing' AI bot blocker 4 weeks ago:
I wish there was an alternative (possibly European) to Cloudflare, because it’s so scary to put all eggs in one basket.
- Comment on Cloudflare blocking AI crawlers 4 weeks ago:
Ahh yes. Imgur simply don’t work anymore at my place, it always errors out with 403.
- Comment on Beercicle 5 weeks ago:
TIL I learned that 0 °F is the temperature of a freezer (it’s -18 in Celsius). I wonder if there’s a scientific reason for it to be -18 or if it’s just arbitrary so it’s 0 in Fahrenheit.
- Comment on There is no such thing as truly objective YouTube search results 5 weeks ago:
It’s completely sad that we need ho resort to this kind of shit.
- Comment on Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare? 5 weeks ago:
Italy is super cheap compared to the US, but the quality varies a lot by region (don’t go to the south) and the waiting lists are so long.
- Comment on Robotaxi Drives Double the Speed Limit, Hits Speed Bumps at Full Speed… Tesla Influencers Describe It as “Excellent.” 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, it’s so horrible especially when it reads a speed limit from an adjacent road or, even worse, from a label on the back of a truck
