- Comment on Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait 8 months ago:
Don’t 3d printed guns crack after like 2 shots? Next they’re going to require ID to buy pipe and nails in order to guard everyone from modern improvised muskets.
- Comment on idk why i wasted my time making this 8 months ago:
Thankfully, the younger you get tinnitus, the easier it is to ignore. Unless someone mentions it, I don’t notice.
- Comment on Another “patent troll” defeated by Cloudflare and its army of bounty seekers 8 months ago:
If they exclusively targeted larger companies, they’d be fine with me. Generally, the way they operate is to first strike smaller, more vulnerable companies to build their case before suing a larger one. Patent reform can’t come soon enough.

Wait, what’s this about lending??
- Comment on Test Yourself: Which Faces Were Made by A.I.? 9 months ago:
As always, it’s hard to determine what is AI and what is a filter. The guy whose entire face was edited to be flat and tilted 10 degrees toward the camera got me. That said, 8/10. The first two clued me into what the author was going for and I got the rest right.
- Comment on Researchers confirm what we already knew: Google results really are getting worse 9 months ago:
That’s funny, I’m the reverse- Searx is my final solution. I don’t like costing the lovely people hosting it any more than I have to so I start with the duck. If ddg offers nothing, searx always has it.
As an aside, are you aware that startpage was purchased some time ago? It’s owned by an ad company now.
- Comment on Researchers confirm what we already knew: Google results really are getting worse 9 months ago:
Searx. That it doesn’t ignore operators legitimately arouses me slightly.
- Comment on Instance admin updates + Blahaj 10 months ago:
I gotcha. It seemed entirely off-base, considering the generally well thought out defederations. This defederation confused me enough to wonder, but I’m happy to be told otherwise. Loathe me some dramabear.
- Comment on Instance admin updates + Blahaj 10 months ago:
Any chance you can clarify something? I’m not from either involved instance, obviously, but I’m curious about what some users said about your admins being pro-hexbear. Is there any truth to it?
- Comment on $500 per semester 10 months ago:
I’ve been meaning to get back to cyberbullying but who has the time? And my portfolio is so dated.
- Comment on Gastronomical Masterpiece 10 months ago:
Why use a sauce? It just needs a bit of cilantro and peppermint.
- Comment on God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story 10 months ago:
What made them successful was marketing and copying and simplifying devil may cry. GOW’s voice acting and tactility of gameplay were far above the norm, which brought people back for a sequel. Its story was par for ps2, which is to say tolerable.
- Comment on God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story 10 months ago:
There were innumerable opportunities for kratos to develop character beyond raging angry guy of rancorous fury. Every betrayal and every reconciliation was so bland after a while. The originals were one long soap opera.
- Comment on None of these anchors are real: Channel 1 plans for AI to generate news, broadcasters 10 months ago:
Tay was such a hilarious snafu. It is, in all likelihood, one of the most influential lessons on AI. Modern models hold no memory of previous conversations for a very good reason.
- Comment on Steve Jobs Rigged The First iPhone Demo By Faking Full Signal Strength And Secretly Swapping Devices Because Of Fragile Prototypes And Bug-Riddled Software 10 months ago:
Even more worth a laugh is the Surface presentation where both the presentation model and the backup both froze.
- Comment on how did we survive threads earlier this year? 10 months ago:
I’m curious about the resources required to federate with threads. It would utterly dwarf every other instance in every capacity, 1000fold. Wouldn’t this put a fair bit of financial pressure on every federated instance?
- Comment on How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) 10 months ago:
It may have changed in the last few months, but I specifically recall seeing hexbear user comments on lemmy.ml posts well over a month after the one-sided defederation while on my sh.itjust.works account. I checked from at least 3 separate instances, lemm.ee, .world, and .works, as it was more than a little confusing for me. That’s also how I learned about spotty comment federation.
- Comment on How to Kill a Decentralised Network (such as the Fediverse) 10 months ago:
If A, B, and C are federated and A defederates B and B does not defederate A, then it would look like this. A>B=C
A cannot see B, B can see A through C, and C can interact with both. Comment federation when B comments on A can be a bit spotty, from what I’ve seen.

It really should be illegal to drink while pregnant and a chihuahua.

“My how you’ve grown!”

- Comment on Life is a stormy river 11 months ago:
How does she flip so rapidly? Does her skirt get caught between the rungs on the downturn?
- Comment on HP TV ads claim its printers are 'made to be less hated' 11 months ago:
Just adding to this, toner printers are ideal if you’re printing only a few items per year. If ink dries, it makes for some intensely frustrating issues. I’m 90% of the way to finding HP’s CEO and bringing my clogged nozzle printer down on their stupid face.
- Comment on Harvard gutted team examining Facebook Files following $500M Zuckerberg donation | Hacker News 11 months ago:
Well, it has been criminal in several uniquely terrible ways for an incredibly long time. 500M to save on 1B in fines is reasonable being that Facebook is nearly dead in Europe and needs the US far more than it used to.
- Comment on ProtonMail and SimpleLogin emails will be blocked from registering on websites 11 months ago:
Nothing is happening, some kid was making requests that were entirely ignored until lemmy jumped in. I cried when they said that they preferred discord to email for official communication.

Give it a week until malaria returns to Florida once the marshes return. I’m not disagreeing, btw.
- Comment on Unity cuts 265 jobs as part of a company 'reset' 11 months ago:
What exactly did unity have so many employees for? I’ve only just realized that I don’t know what their company does, besides develop a game engine.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
I sincerely wish that were the case. The proliferation of Ring doorbells, Alexa speakers, and overall lack of tech literacy really hampers any signs of general outcry. Our collective screech barely registers as a whimper in the grand scheme.
