- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 4 days ago:
November 6th 1988
Nothing special about they day really. It’s just happened to be the day when the Legrand Poumpaugh themselves decreed as such. Praise their nostrals. - Comment on Whats the best use for 75 dollars? 6 days ago:
it’s a giftcard
- Comment on 1 week ago:
You’re still judgeing the quality of the story by your morality.
It’s common for terrible acts to go unpunished. There are lots of movies and shows where the bad guy wins. Many where you can’t even tell who the bad guy is. But they’re still good stories. - Comment on What is the best way to link to a podcast episode on the Fediverse? 1 week ago:
Just link directly to the audio file?
This seems like too obvious an answer though. Maybe I’m not sure what you’re asking. - Comment on 1 week ago:
You can see how that seems sexist, right?
Especially when 7 and The Doctor are debatably tied, for most interesting character on the show. - Comment on 1 week ago:
I’m not sure what the problem is.
Does it make Archer a bad character, or Enterprise a bad show, when he breaks bad for understandable reasons? - Comment on at what point in life it's too late to go back to school? 2 weeks ago:
It’s got nothing to with age. As you pointed out there are financial reasons where you might not be able to. But that’s realy the only hurdle. And there are plenty of ways to clear it.

- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 3 weeks ago:
As a finical instrument for investing it’s fine. Makes total sense to have some of your money in gold.
As you describe, being a part of a prepping plan for the end of the world. It’s really dumb, and a total scam. - Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 3 weeks ago:
Install has gone fine.
Having trouble getting OpenRGB working. Might just have to turn off lights in BIOS for now.And I’m also a hobby photog. Lightroom and Photoshop. I’ve tried Darktable and GIMP on Windows before. As much as I complain about Adobe, they’re still miles ahead of the OSS alternatives.
- Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 3 weeks ago:
Thank you. My only real concern point now is running Adobe stuff in a VM. Other than that I think I’m good to go.

I’m into Star Trek, and all set to switch to Linux this weekend!
- Comment on How much money's out there? 3 weeks ago:
And it’s always 42. No matter what, or when, or how.
Perhaps some day, if someone understands the galactic economy well enough to explain why it’s always 42 money, we’ll be able to stop fighting and arguing with each other long enough to come together united for once. And share the beating of that smart ass who thinks they know everything.
- Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 3 weeks ago:
But your saying Peertube should have all the forum functionality of Lemmy, and the endless short video scroll of Loops.
rgluilis suggested a generic server idea, where the media and experience differentiating is done at the client app level. That could work well. But that’s an entirely different cincpet and structure.
- Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 3 weeks ago:
And that’s great! Everyone gets what they want. But suggesting Lemmy, Pixelfed, and Peertube, etc. should all try to do it the way Friendica does, is a bad idea.
- Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 3 weeks ago:
So like a single ActivityPub instance that hosts all the data, but users can have a Pixelfed app, Lemmy app, etc. all connect to that one server and use it to give the experience they specifically provide.
That’s a cool idea. I can see how that would work.
- Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 3 weeks ago:
Why would you follow the same accounts on multiple platforms?
Or do you mean one person who has accounts on multiple platforms? - Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 3 weeks ago:
I think you might be conflating two things. Right now the Fediverse largely looks like you just described. It’s in it’s infancy, trying to copy what it sees around it. Eventually it’ll become a rebellious teen and forge it’s on seperate identity. That’s inevitable. I wouldn’t worry about it.
It’s a very different thing though, saying all the apps need to integrate all the features and experience of every other app, so they’re all largely the same and there’s never a need to use more than one. That sounds like a terrible idea.
- Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 3 weeks ago:
Is it?
Because that seems really dumb.Why would any specific niche service want to duplicate the features and functions of every single other niche service? The whole point is to have different experiences and uses, that might be able to (however works for them) interoperate as they see fit.
It’s a terrible idea that they should all try to eventually do all the same everything.
- Comment on Why are so many after-shave lotion perfumed ? 4 weeks ago:
I imagine it’s about trying to minimize the alcohol smell.
But I don’t realy know. - Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 4 weeks ago:
Do you have sources you can cite?
In English if possible. Though I’ll understand if not, and make due with what you have. - Comment on Looking for a good Lemmy mobile app 4 weeks ago:
The current Lemmy version is very customizable. I think it has seven basic types of views, which are further customizable how you like. You can kinda make it look like whatever you want.
- Comment on I was diagnosed with early onset dementia and alzhimers. Is there safe guards I can put it up so I don't screw or kill anyone? Like who do I contact about being denied to own a gun? 4 weeks ago:
I think you have missed what they were really asking.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 4 weeks ago:
When I asked someone, they basically used them like bookmarks.
- Comment on Cross-social app 5 weeks ago:
It’s not supposed to answer the question. It’s Its pointing out that the mental model and assumptions behind the question are flawed, and thus the question itself is flawed.
- Comment on Cross-social app 5 weeks ago:
with a single account (isn’t that the point of the fediverse?).
Absolutely not. I’m not sure why people see Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube, Loops, etc as all the same thing that should all be one app.
They might communicate with the same protocol, but they have vastly different uses, interfaces, purposes. It like saying you want one vehicle that drives like a motorcycle, haules the kids around, gets great mileage, and can tow 20,000lbs.
All your tools fit in the same toolbox, but you use each one separately for the use it’s best suited. Then you put it down and pick up another. Sure you can make a multi-tool but it won’t do any job as well as a proper dedicated tool.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 5 weeks ago:
Taller is more expensive. That’s all.
If you have the space to go wider, that’s what everyone does. - Comment on How do you objectively tell if a parents "I love you" is actually sincere, if they actually care about you? Or if the words are lies and they don't actually care? 5 weeks ago:
Yah. But you realize that someone could simply lie to you right?
- Comment on Why does American media (and to an extent the American public) seem to only focus on one issue at a time? 5 weeks ago:
Thata what focus means.
If you’re spliting your focus onto several things, you’re not actually focusing anymore. - Comment on why are fitness weights filled with sand? 5 weeks ago:
Cheaper. More flexable.
