- Comment on 10 years later, no one has replicated Rocket League's mojo 5 days ago:
I didn’t like it either, but you could still play locally against ai without it, it was their online matchmaking and game servers that required the new epic account.
Still sucks, but it’s not quite the same rug pull that’s often seen.

Technically so are the metal ones, it’s just the plastic doesn’t conduct energy/heat as well as metal.
- Comment on The "standard" car charger is usually overkill—but your electrician might not know that [32:26] 1 week ago:
What kind of range do you have on that? I’ve been debating installing a l2 charger because overnight charging is usually good enough. I tend to get about 15-20 miles range tops on pure electric.

The problem with human curated lists is that in order to block bots everything will require an account to access. That’s the real tragedy here.
- Comment on The Case for Software Craftsmanship in the Era of Vibes — Zed's Blog 1 week ago:
That is my main beef with this particular hype train. People will be negatively effected by it, who had no choice in it. With the NFT hype a few years ago nobody was impacted unless they chose to dive into that area.
- Comment on The Case for Software Craftsmanship in the Era of Vibes — Zed's Blog 1 week ago:
Given enough time, this hype will blow over
I tend to agree; however, during that time plenty of folks will be let go by middle management buying into the hype.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 3 weeks ago:
I’ve had this idea as well, and I definitely see some benefits though as stated in the thread by someone else, most admins would want to be on a groups instance and not a users instance and I’m not sure how to combat that. The thought that occurred to me was a lemmy federation compatible community only instance server that could augment the current thrediverse landscape. Essentially making it easier to spin up a community for your topic than it is to spin up a while new instance. It would still be easiest to just make a community on your main user instance but it would introduce a new difficulty level for communities to run separate without standing up a whole Lemmy instance.

Even Blinken would have been offended at this awkward letter-boxing. But a-plus for the epic movie reference.
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 5 weeks ago:
Back on reddit, there was at least one sub dedicated to memes I between just a single division (nfcnorthmemewar, or something close) and it was always hilarious. Definitely miss the regular sub and the meme subs here.
- Comment on This one we can all agree on 5 weeks ago:
Adam Savage likes them so much he has at least one maybe two videos on his channel dedicated to them.
The fact they’re disposable mechanical pencils annoys me, but they are decent writers with a good eraser. You can buy them in packs of 20 for a few bucks.

Lemmy got me good today:
- Comment on How your showerhead and fridge got roped into the culture wars 1 month ago:
Since the flow regulators became standard issue in the 90s, showers are not as good as they were. While the specific messaging may or may not have another meaning related to us politics, it seems like they stand for better showers while using less water, and that seems like a good mission to me.

Check the privacy policy. It’s about all you can do these days, and hope it doesn’t change post fact.
- Comment on Discord plans to roll out third-party ads on its mobile apps, starting with a mobile pilot for Video Quests, video ads that let users earn rewards, in June 2025. 2 months ago:
I hate ads too, but almost no normies are willing to pay for services, so I’m glad they have nitro to reduce ads in my face. It’d be nice if it wasn’t that way but that’s not my choice that’s the choice of the collective to take ads for free stuff.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 3 months ago:
I think most places have a senior freeze, so once you qualify it doesn’t go up anymore.
- Comment on FuckYourHeadlights - A community for people to organise and vent about ridiculously bright lights 3 months ago:
I don’t see how running high beams held you see when there is oncoming cars with brighter lights. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that older cars are smaller and lower?
I am not disputing new cars have higher brightness on regular lights, that absolutely is true. Though running high beams throws light both forward and up toward the oncoming drivers eyes.
- Comment on FuckYourHeadlights - A community for people to organise and vent about ridiculously bright lights 3 months ago:
There’s a load of cars with headlights that are overly bright, but there is an even bigger epidemic of idiots driving around with high beams on as part of regular course.
In the city there is no need for those, ever. Let alone always being on.
- Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. 3 months ago:
That’s being too generous. Some may not fully understand, but many do and simply don’t care. Not sure if better or worse, but its not entirely lack of understanding.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 4 months ago:
The average user will go to join Lemmy and abort, because they can’t grasp the idea that joining one server gets them into other servers. They worry about server selection, have analysis paralysis, and nope out. That’s why they’re asking for a bluesky reddit and not a mastodon reddit.
Normie’s want centralization because they don’t understand how else it can work and while some can learn and have it explained many will give up before giving it a chance.
- Comment on GTA 6 publishers think PC is of "increasing" importance in 2025, but still won't announce the magic date 4 months ago:
That’s good to hear, the few I’d read about made it seem more common than not. Especially games with multiplayer.

Linux compatibility would be fantastic. Not sure how to judge the likelihood of that.

Should is the key word here. You pay a lawyer to find out, which probably isn’t worth it.
