• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I decrease acne after shaving my face?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  For me a double edged safety razor as well as drawing a face map of the directions my hair grows so I could shave “with the grain” for the first pass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I decrease acne after shaving my face?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  A barber will put a hot damp towel on someones face for a few minutes prior to shaving, can you microwave a wet facecloth?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Obviously, but it’s still not something you want getting out. Like you’d tell your clients at a vendor dinner but wouldn’t put it in an email or video conference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even by CEO standards, why would you state that out loud?

  But he probably does have shares in oil or received a bribe tho. Better to seem like an idiot than corrupt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Recording it and playing it back to them it the classic revenge for this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Swapping out red meat and creamy pasta sauce could significantly cut household emissions, Australian research finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Eating less meat et al is something we can personally do. The very wealthy have massive carbon footprints, mainly due to their ability to consume resources. It’s like I still pick up my dog’s shit at the park even though not everyone does. Giving up because not everyone is trying to care for the environment is definitely not the solution.

  Seems more like GYG PR than news.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first folding e-reader is smaller than a paperback⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t want a folding e-reader, I was a dual eReader with a hinge in the middle that acts like a book.

  I got stuck with COD6 because of that shit. It’s a boring game and it wasn’t cheap.

  I went to Carls Jr once and decided it was a bad Hungry Jacks, never went back.

  ten bucks says the cunts running the mines knew all along.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was re-released on Steam as “Overload”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I liked 6v6, they should’ve made more tanks and healers.

  I didn’t like role queue, sure it’s a strong team buildup but I don’t think it should’ve been forced. I really liked being able to flex between classes depending on what was needed. Sometimes five DPS and a healer will break through a point. Being a tank or healer with bad DPS makes an already limited role even worse.

  Ow2 seems like they just trashed my game ($60aud) and added MTX.

  I can’t get into marvel rivals, the time to kill seems too low, Overwatch was a bit more lethal.

  I did similar with an x61 thinkpad years ago and it worked a treat.

  That pic also covers how some of the FotNS villains were just massive units for no real reason, maybe post apocalyptic radiation effects.

  None of it should’ve been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was the same with asbestos, there were correct handling procedures but they were skipped enough for people to still get sick from it. Better we don’t use it if we don’t need to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  We (srtaya) tried to introduce cutting standards as the silicosis is avoidable, but the cutting technique is more expensive so it got skipped for the cheaper dangerous methods.

  Turns out ethical wages and materials cost money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Fairphone 5 price has been dropped to €499. The phone is designed to be the most advanced environmentally friendly smartphone.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s other phones with user replaceable batteries. I looked it up a month or so ago. They’re not as ethical as fairphone, but still better than my drawer of working phones with dead batteries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something's up with all those airbnb locks | Purplepingers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve family in Amsterdam, they’re only allowed to Airbnb places for a maximum of 45 days per year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bots increase online user engagement but stifle meaningful discussion, study shows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not enshittification, but there’s a bunch of crappy rss bots on lemmy reposting low quality content pulled from various feeds. I feel like they’ve abandoned and been left to run creating internet litter around this site. I’ve started blocking them because I’m not against bots as a concept, but poorly written or with bad sources they can get pretty tiring. One of the things I appreciate about diggs $5 account fee is that it’d hopefully limit the amount of spam on the site.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 15]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoyed Bocchi the Rock that was recommended here. Mostly teen girl band orientated but gave me an interesting insight into social anxiety.

  I also watched Fist of the North Star, which is it’s own whole thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your next phone could have a 10km Bluetooth connection⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Requires perfect conditions and clear line-of-sight. Seems like a click-bait marketing article.

  That sucks, he seems like a passionate MP from his YouTube channel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who else misses Battlefield 1943?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s just like you’re opinion man. I’ve had heaps of fun with BF 3, 4, 5, & 2042. They’ve all still got online communities. 3/4/5 all have a good campaign and decent graphics for games that are usually on sale for a few bucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Approving US-made cars would make UK roads less safe⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I sold a washing machine second hand and the guy with a ute (pickup-truck) that came to get it spend ages securing the load in the centre of the bed so that it wouldn’t rub on the expensive rub bars. This guy was so fucking fragile about his ute I was amazed. I’ve known blokes to buy a new ute and basically had the attitude of the tray is for working, if you damage the cab I’ll be pissed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Where am I going to go?’ Dismay as Queensland council begins tearing down tent encampment⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get it that homeless camps can be an issue but evicting homeless people without giving them somewhere to go is a pretty low blow.
