  I like to imagine there are gnomes in lightpoles on little bikes generating the electricity required to keep the lamp lit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaked video shows UnitedHealth CEO saying insurer will continue practices that combat 'unnecessary' care⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, the laws create the conditions. In Europe health care tends to be strictly regulated, so you don’t get these wolves in health care. It’s actually considered quite a dull career that pays decently but nothing out of the ordinary, even for the higher ups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I chose the penguin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When you click on “What!?” it’s the same text but capitalized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That chicken's name? Joe Rogan⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been watching Newsradio after seeing a very funny clip, which has Joe Rogan as the IT/maintenance guy. He’s not very funny, but I was surprised it was the same guy as I had only ever heard of him as a podcaster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deleted my Reddit! I am now entirely federated online except for Pixelfed!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy: very human to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colin Anderson Calls GTA 2 the ‘Unsung Hero’ of the Franchise | Retro Gaming News 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree it was the best in the series. I never quite enjoyed the later gta games as much as the unbridled fun of gta 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pizza rule⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I once did something like that to myself. Not satisfied with the tame spiciness of jalapenos on pizza, I decided to put a bhut jolokia (aka ghost pepper) on one. That was a profoundly dumb idea.

  I was blinded by the need for spice and suffered twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So bad it was actually entertaining⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think we decided to play 3 more rounds and then count the points, as the game was still gonna go on for at least another hour otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So bad it was actually entertaining⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That reminds me of the Amadeus bar in Leuven. The owner was notoriously grumpy and curt. I sometimes went there as a student to play board games. One time he seemed very interested as we were playing, as he was looking at the board. We asked him if he wanted to play with and he just went “No, I’m wondering how much longer this game will take so I can kick you out and close.”

  Not sure if it’s still open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m in the same camp, although I wish it wasn’t so. I’ve gotten okayish at Rocket League with mouse and keyboard, but that really is a controller game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DarkPattern.games - a website that rates mobile games for their "dark patterns"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So the only mobile game I really play often is Mad Skills BMX 2 which has 0 dark patterns. Yay

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AT&T sues Broadcom for refusing to renew perpetual license support⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have had to contact the vmware enterprise support several times and while it was tedious to do so, they always managed to help us out, including when we had datastore locked vhd’s after a storage crash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  NewPipe stopped working for me some time ago, switched over to rvx which seems to work fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those 'taters ain’t gonna count themselves!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Centipedes Don't Fuck⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t humanize centipedes! That leads to strange and disturbing things…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current best lemmy clients⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He does a years worth of updates in like 3 or 4 weeks and then takes off for like 6 months. For me that’s acceptable. When he does get around to it, he pushes updates like the Flash on speed and fixes nearly all flagged issues in addition to adding new features that have been requested.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pringles⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re goddamn right!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aluminum⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your heresy is forgiven because you used the superior spelling of the metal in question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why not⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My wife: “Those are rookie numbers”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Air BnB market is very competitive⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe once they run out of apartment buildings, but that’s not gonna happen any time soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve runs its massive PC gaming ecosystem with only about 350 employees⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Feel free to start a competitive game store. There’s a reason why gog, origin or epic hardly make a dent on Valves bottom line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stoke-on-Trent couple fined £1,200 after clearing up rubbish⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Solution: dump it in the gardens of the local councilors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most consumers hate the idea of AI-generated customer service⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never had issues with Amazon support. To be fair, the last time I needed support was over 4 years ago, but still. I got to chat with some real person relatively quickly who managed to address the issue swiftly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VW will invest up to $5 billion in Rivian as part of new EV joint venture⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Volkswagens EV platform is a mess because the CEO responsible for the pivot to EV within VW, was only allowed to implement it if he stopped being the CEO. So the next guy half assed the 80B$ pivot to EV, leading to VW being one of the worst performers amongst EV producing OEMs.

  So now they are on the market to buy whatever is needed to get them out of the hot mess they created themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU chat control law proposes scanning your messages — even encrypted ones⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This law, if it were to pass, is 100% guaranteed to be shot down by the European courts for invasion of privacy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Larian Opens New Studio As Development On Two 'Very Ambitious' RPGs Continues⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Perfect spot for poaching devs from CDPR

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is very therapeutic to garden, though.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Where do you live? I’m in central Europe and hit the local currency equivalent of 60$ per person per week…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know, I work full time from home ever since covid and it is brilliant because I had a long commute to an office I didn’t really needed to be in because all my peers/colleagues are in other countries. But when I started out, I worked in a nice office which was a 10 minute bike ride from my home and it was brilliant. If I could do the same work within a 10 minute commute I do now, I would be in the office every day I think.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a good NAS and server system under CAD$900 (USD$658)?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use an HP microserver gen 8, which I bought second hand (300$) and upgraded with a better CPU (20$ from ebay) and extra ram (80$) and 4 2TB SSD’s (100$ per). I installed Windows server on it because I just wanted it to work in a way I’m familiar with, but a colleague of mine installed Synology OS on it. You can use the cd drive bay for the OS disk (with some tweaking). Since you already have the disks, this would fit your budget.

  This is so stupid. I love it
