  Which is why I think people on lemmy need to get used to the fact that their data isn’t theirs to own on something that is so public facing like this. Instead we should reteach people to be conscious of what information they post. Once upon a time even A/S/L was too much info.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is fine, if that’s what the general consensus ends up being (I generally disagree with deleting knowledge, but that’s my own opinion and not up to me really), but then this should/will never be a place for knowledge and only just casual conversation. A lot of people on lemmy want it to replace reddit in terms of search results, but it may never be that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Disassociating with old comments and posts would be a good way to go, but I’m not really sure that’s an option for the fediverse? In theory couldn’t someone in the future set up an instance whose sole purpose is just back up and collect data? How would someone even go about trying to erase themselves from a situation like that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Internet Searching and Start Asking on Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There is one worry I have about Lemmy being the knowledge of anything and it’s what happened on reddit. Many people went through and nuked their comments, essentially making many posts useless. There are already people here on lemmy that delete their profiles, comments and start over every few months. Not really sure what that means for all the federation, but I assume different instances may have different versions of deleted information in the long run?

  I do remember back when it was called Planet X. It had more intrigue.

  You must be living in the Twilight Zone at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do office workers actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You better hop the Bobs don’t come through your place of work looking to make changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do office workers actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late. I use the side door, that way my boss can’t see me. Uh, and after that, I just sorta space out for about an hour. I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I’m working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch too. I’d probably, say, in a given week, I probably do about fifteen minutes of real, actual work.

  The thing is, it’s not that I’m lazy. It’s just that I just don’t care. It’s a problem of motivation, all right? Now, if I work my ass off and the company ships a few extra units, I don’t see another dime. So where’s the motivation? And here’s another thing,I have eight different bosses right now!

  So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That’s my real motivation - is not to be hassled. That and the fear of losing my job, but y’know, it will only make someone work hard enough not to get fired.

  Now they are trying to offer me some kind of stock option and equity sharing program? I have a meeting tomorrow where I am probably going to be laid off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was going to my answer as well. While spelling on the internet is pretty bad, English isn’t the primary language of many people on Lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What peripheral do you think should make a comeback?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure I’d want it to come back, but this post brought back the memory of Boktai. It was a gameboy game where the cartridge had a built in light sensor that let you charge your weapon within the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I’m wrong, but I think it will just be cycles (assuming we all survive long enough). I’m in an industry where the large companies are imploding and smaller companies are starting to shine again, eventually those companies will likely become big as well and implode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Old printers on ebay are going to be the new game, until we start seeing kickstarter flooded with new printer companies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When making a post that fits multiple communities, should I just pick the most relevant/popular one or repost to the other ones as well?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct. It does not funnel all the conversation into the same post, which is probably most people’s preference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the uphill battle here is that a good amount of the active users on lemmy are probably very tech savvy. The percentage of us who aren’t, are doing it wrong in their eyes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I blocked a lot of news communities, because it was just consuming my feed, so I also missed when this happened.

  Isn’t that kind of how I ended my whole comment?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interactive Fiction Games Could Make A Comeback With This E-reader Handheld Console⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re forgetting the thing that is also stopping me from doing a lot of random ideas myself. It’s an extra thing to carry.

  I often think “man it would be great to use my sp again”, but I can just emulate on delta on my iPhone. It’s the reason I don’t have the PlayDate and why I also don’t have a dumbphone connected to my iPhone even though I’ve thought about it as well. People want to reduce instead of adding more. It’s the reason it still drives me crazy I have 5 remotes for my TV. People just prefer to get a device that can do the most. Hell my parents in their older age are now to the point they don’t care about PCs anymore, they just have a tablet they can add a keyboard to if they want.

  All this is not to say this shouldn’t exist. But if it does I really do hope they take full advantage of the setup and do try to innovate and make creative games that would only exist there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think about centralised clients?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do we have a percentage of people who visit reddit on a computer vs phone? I assumed by now most of them used a phone, so those same people would keep using phone apps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interactive Fiction Games Could Make A Comeback With This E-reader Handheld Console⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My initial reaction was “oh cool”, but I have a feeling most of the games would be something that can just be played on a tablet. I’ll keep an eye out, maybe it’ll be more versatile than the PlayDate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think about centralised clients?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I assumed most apps already do this? I believe the voyager app defaults to lemm.ee now because .world is large

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve mentioned a list with info of some nature a few times, with people shutting down the idea. It always boiled down to “the instances may lie about what their instance is about”. In their heads what their write may be the truth, even if it isn’t. This would leave it up to a third party to make summaries of these instances, which may or may not be agreed upon. There may be too many drastic and conflicting ideologies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Given that they remade Chain of Memories entirely, I am really surprised they never did it for 358/2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nostalgia and remake culture⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a very good example. I am going to steal this in the future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some higher end brands come with shoe horns. I have a few now. I will say in all my years I have never broken or deformed one though, and I have some cheap ones from amazon too.
