- Comment on Younger cannabis users have reduced brain function, finds largest study yet 12 hours ago:
Glad I had my first hit at 37 after it was legal.
- Comment on Google searches for deleting Facebook, Instagram explode after Meta ends fact-checking 2 weeks ago:
Change your DNS on your router to one you can block FB with. Free ones like Opendns or adguard should do the trick. For mobile it’s a bit more tricky since you can’t just change your mobile DNS without a VPN but you could get one for that too.
- Comment on Many smaller drivers or fewer larger drives? 4 weeks ago:
More drives mean more heat and more power usage. Better to have two large with parity enabled. The chances of both failing is very rare. Should be using an online backup service like backblaze or having a plan to take a copy off-site.
- Comment on Bill Nye should host a New Year's Eve event and call it Bill's NYE 4 weeks ago:
- Comment on Developer of WalkScape (the fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL) here again. We're accepting new players and have a Lemmy community! 4 weeks ago:
Gear sets are in the next update. Check out the dev blog.
- Comment on End of a love affair: news media quit X over 'disinformation' 2 months ago:
Good thing we have Lemmy where the people control the instances and the community and we can filter out any users or communities that are full of lies. This works on a personal level but the information is still there and any new users must suffer until they can vet the info themselves or create their own echo chambers.
- Comment on Scientists Want to Teleport a Whole Human. A Quantum Breakthrough Could Make It Reality. 2 months ago:
There’s just one catch: every atom in your body would be fully disassembled to the quantum level, effectively leaving your original body totally destroyed.
So just like Star Trek
- Comment on When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female? 2 months ago:
Small boobies = nipple ok
Big boobies = nipple not ok
Is what I think this Instagram is trying to say. I don’t agree and think let the boobies be free.
- Comment on Elon's Death Machine (aka Tesla) Mows Down Deer at Full Speed , Keeps Going on "Autopilot" 2 months ago:
It kills the deer and keeps on going, it doesn’t stop to let you collect it so you can eat it. They are chaotic evil vegans.
- Comment on 11 pumpkins printed! 2 months ago:
Maybe but it looks like the highest point of the pumpkin flesh is higher than the lowest point of the stem so it wouldn’t look as good. This way is much less waste and faster because you can print all the stems at once.
- Comment on Apple’s first Mac mini redesign in 14 years looks like a big aluminum Apple TV 2 months ago:
Yeah and I hear they might bring that back lol. Why haven’t there been any wireless mice that use wireless charging? They could include a super thin coil that you could place under any mouse pad. It doesn’t even need to charge fast so heat shouldn’t be an issue. Just trickle charge when it’s not being used.
- Comment on McDonald’s posts biggest decline in global sales in four years 2 months ago:
Having the orange man inside you and then a huge recall from poisoning people is not good for sales.
- Comment on Court Orders Google (a Monopolist) To Knock It Off With the Monopoly Stuff. 2 months ago:
Ok now do Apple.
Google has always been the OS that allows users to get their apps anywhere. Apple has not.
Also could we throw in something that allows me to remove all Google apps from a stock OS instead of just disabling?
- Comment on Spring & Autumn Master Race 2 months ago:
Spring is for planting, there is not much harvesting going on.
- Comment on how can i self host my music? 2 months ago:
Music assistant on home assistant or without HA will let you host your own music but also allow for the addition of streaming providers. It lets you cast your collection to pretty much any speakers. You can even build your own cast receivers with any android device and squeeze cast.

You don’t know Jack?

- Comment on Researchers achieve first successful communication between dreaming individuals 3 months ago:
You mean Nightmare on Elm Street
- Comment on Super hero movies should have more scenes of them accidentally maiming people just because of the sheer amount of power they weild. 3 months ago:
Watch The Boys for exactly that. You won’t get that from Disney.
- Comment on Switzerland authorizes removable PV plant on railway track 3 months ago:
One more reason. The reason they tell people not to lay on the tracks under the train, the freaking cables and chains that could come loose and dangle under the cars and drag along the ground that would cut you in half the long way. Those loose parts would just destroy the solar panels.
- Comment on 3D printed cloverleaf antenna maker 3 months ago:
Do these come flat packed is that what the tool is for or do you form the whole thing first then use the tool to bend?
- Comment on PayPal implements default data sharing with third parties: users must manually opt out 3 months ago:
Thanks, disabled. If they want this kind of info then give users a reward for it like 1-2% cashback or coupons. This is just greedy.
- Comment on A court blocks a couple from suing Uber over a crash, citing terms and conditions 3 months ago:
This would be the exact same type deal if it was an Uber driver that ran into a pedestrian that happened to have a Uber account and they said the victim can’t sue because they were an Uber user at one time. I think it’s time we all stop singing up for any service that has that clause. I know I plan to read the T&C for everything now.
- Comment on Read this if you own a Juicebox EV charger 3 months ago:
I got the assembled kit 4 years ago. I highly recommend them.
- Comment on Read this if you own a Juicebox EV charger 3 months ago:
I second this! I have had mine for 4 years. It’s so nice having the ability to swap parts if anything fails. The brains can be swapped out as needed like if someone creates a new controller like one with Ethernet. I just noticed they released an upgraded screen. My wife is gonna hate me if I upgrade the screen. 😁 It integrated with home assistant too with the HACS package from firstofnine.
- Comment on You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first 3 months ago:
And a tornado
- Comment on You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first 3 months ago:
There will be about the same consequence as the Amazon warehouse that would t let their employees leave during a tornado. Nothing.
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 3 months ago:
I fear Reddit might be going the way of Twitter and Facebook, too many users which makes them too big to fail or their failure is sooo slow that by the time they do fail they will have cemented their footholds in our politics they will puppet our politicians more than now.
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 3 months ago:
Yea I don’t believe it, that’s some processor intensive streaming. My security camera feeds can’t even do that. 100fps is crazy for streaming. Are we sure these “screenshots” aren’t just anonymous metric gatherings like video codecs and resolution?
- Comment on In honor of the start spooky season (yay!), I have a question about an apparently beloved spooky meme/skit. What about "David S. Pumpkins" is so funny? 4 months ago:
Everything Tom Hanks does is gold
