- Comment on Can you drive west to lengthen the sunset? 22 hours ago:
You mean the part about spinning counterclockwise?
In the original text form what-if.xkcd.com/42/ this was just a link to the comic, I guess that wouldn’t have worked in a video.

- Comment on How should Lemmy sort posts so small communities can compete? 3 days ago:
That would cause me to miss many interesting threads that were created at a time when I happened not to be looking at Lemmy.
“New comments” it is for me, that causes threads to get bumped to the top as long as other people still find them interesting.

- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 week ago:
When I regularly played Need for Speed: Most Wanted (the old one from the 2000s), I often intentionally didn’t escape the cops at low wanted levels in order to get to higher wanted levels. Not sure this counts because it’s basically what you have to do if you want to have fun in this game…
Recently I’ve been playing a lot of EA FC 25, and when I’m already clearly winning (or losing), I usually commit a lot of fouls just because I can.

Is it part of the joke (“oversized”) that the comic is way too big for the page, I wonder…

- Comment on Did something change recently with how Mastodon displays content from Lemmy / the threadiverse? 3 weeks ago:
I looked at the two complaints you linked to and at how those threads seem to be displayed on these users’ instances:
That looks the same as it has always looked, to the best of my knowledge. I’ve gotten at least one similar complaint before, from a Mastodon user who didn’t understand what they were looking at when they got a Lemmy post in their timeline. So I think the answer to your question is no, nothing changed, either it is a coincidence that you got two such complaints within a few days, or what actually changed is that your posts have (for whatever reason) become more visible on Mastodon.

- Comment on REU general part - answer to question 1426 on whether the minister believes that it is also not a right to freedom to communicate via iMessage and WhatsApp, as the messages here are also encrypted 5 weeks ago:
The answer seems to be in this PDF: www.ft.dk/samling/20231/almdel/reu/…/2913128.pdf
Apparently Google Translate can’t translate PDFs, but when I copy and paste the text into Google Translate, I get this:
We know that social media and encrypted services are unfortunately largely used to facilitate many forms of crime. There are examples of how criminal gangs use encrypted platforms to recruit very young people to commit serious crimes, including crimes against humanity. This is an expression of cynicism that is almost completely incomprehensible.
We therefore need to look at how we can eliminate this problem.
Both in terms of what the services themselves do, but also what we, as authorities, can do. It must not be the case that criminals can hide behind encrypted services that the authorities cannot access.
Therefore, we, as a government, will also strengthen the police’s capabilities in the area of decryption, of course under appropriate legal guarantees,
as is also the case today. In addition, the Ministry of Justice’s Criminal Justice Committee has just begun a mandate to look at the challenges that technological developments pose to police investigations, including the use of encrypted messaging services. I also note that steps have been taken within the EU towards stronger regulation of, among other things, digital information services and social media platforms. For example, the European Commission has presented a proposal for a new regulation on rules to prevent and combat the sexual abuse of children. The proposed regulation contains rules on obligations for certain online services to minimize the risk that their services are misused for the sexual abuse of children online, and the services may, if necessary, be required to detect, report, remove and block access to material that depicts child sexual abuse.
The government has a strong focus on eliminating digital abuse – this is not least true when it comes to sexual abuse of children – and, unlike the opposition, supports the proposed regulation.so basically a complete failure to answer the question, containing only things we already knew or could guess, not very interesting
- Comment on ActivityPub vs RSS Atom etc. Why Federate instead of aggrigate? 5 weeks ago:
I’m not sure I understand your substantive question very well.
There already is a bridge from RSS feeds to ActivityPub: rss-parrot.net (there are plenty of sources I follow through that).
The clue of what ActivityPub is for is in the name: it is for publishing one’s activities. For example “I’ve written a new blog post”, “I’ve commented on someone else’s activity”, “I’ve upvoted someone else’s comment”.
RSS is really just a structured format to describe the content of a website in simpler terms. It doesn’t ever send any information to anyone, it doesn’t have any mechanism for anyone else to interact.
I used to follow news sites directly through an RSS reader. But I would need to set that up separately on each device, including after reinstalling, which I just can’t be bothered to do. I know there are things like Feedly, but not everyone likes proprietary services and software that much. I like the fact that on Mastodon nowadays, I can follow both microbloggers and RSS feeds.
- Comment on RFK Jr. Blames violent video games for Mass Shootings. 5 weeks ago:
Switzerland has a comparable number of guns as we do, and the last mass shooting they had was 23 years ago
so does he believe that Swiss people do not play video games, or what

!photography@fedia.io meanwhile seems to mostly be getting posts from microbloggers/pixelfed people who use the hashtag “photography”, somehow the backend of that instance automatically posts them to that instance, not 100% sure why that is happening

Yes, I have been having trouble too over the last few days. Often I get “gateway timeout” errors and then it doesn’t load at all. Right now it is (obviously) working though.
