If you like making fun of quiverfull ministries, programming, Eldritch horrors, British humor (humour?), spy thrillers, agitated engineers, vampires that don’t exist, bloodthirsty elves, and a thinly veiled story about anthropomorphic climate change then this is the series for you.
- Comment on Never thought I'd write these words before the last few years 2 weeks ago:
I double checked that it was an @amazon.com address. The annoying thing was that this email address they sent it to is a new one that I don’t use everywhere, but they somehow got it.

- Comment on Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images) 4 weeks ago:
I would do option 3, both as a user and if I were to make my own service. I’d let a dedicated image service do it. I’m not worried about IP leakage and if I am I can use a VPN. If I want to be that concerned about it, I think the responsibility is on me, not on the service unless they promise that level of privacy.
I vote for what gives the best experience for users and makes running the service easier and cost effectivem

- Comment on How to tell my actual internet speed usage? 1 month ago:
I don’t think you’ll be complaining on any of them. Was having gigabit nice? Of course, but 350 is plenty. Most services won’t even transfer that quickly to you and you can run a lot of video streams on that.
- Comment on Oxygen 1 month ago:
In Becky Chambers’ Wayfarer series, there is a species who actually breathes methane. The focus though is less on how that actually happens and more on how they navigate as the only species for whom oxygen is toxic. It’s a great series, btw. It’s a not-quite-as-optimistic as star trek future, but still optimistic and with a vast range of species who are all intermingling as learning how to get along.

- Comment on Dutch government to ban ASML from servicing installed wafer tools in China 2 months ago:
While they likely do have the capability of doing that eventually, there are only two places in the world that have the capability of doing the super small nm scale chips: Netherlands and Taiwan. These machines are insanely complicated and precise. I wouldn’t be surprised if China was a decade or more away from doing it themselves. I could be wrong, but this scale of chips is an entirely different monster.
Now, they could be closer, but this particular job isn’t that simple.
- Comment on If lemmy.world became the biggest in the fediverse with a user base that could rival Reddit. Would it become monetized? 2 months ago:
In a sense, but I doubt there is the same level of tracking. Lemmy doesn’t (as far as I assume) track how long you spend on a page, what you click on, how long you stay, etc. That’s a pretty big difference compared to just what you posted or commented.

- Comment on Why are so many leaders in tech evil? 2 months ago:
Capital demands growth. It doesn’t care how you do it. It doesn’t track or reward whether you did it by making the world better or by creating death squads and working with the CIA to kill thousands of people and overthrow a government that wanted to charge you taxes and limit the amount of land you could have.
It’s been this way, and worse, for a long time. But bear in mind that Twitter gave us the ability to see how billionaires think. Modern media made them more accessible. They didn’t change, our knowledge of them did.

- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 2 months ago:
While I don’t necessarily think that votes should be made public, it would be nice if you could see your own votes. There have been a few times I wanted to find a post that I had seen, but didn’t save, and I couldn’t find it.

awesome! that’s literally the trip that I did. Feel free to DM me and I can give you some tips!
Btw, if you go to Mexico city, check out www.theworlds50best.com as they have a lot of the globally best rated bars, restaurants, and speakeasies. There’s also a whatsapp group for dancing salsa and bachata that’s really good there.
I’d love to share some of the things and places I’ve found along the way! :)

Oh yeah, regular people are screwed. You never know what your purchasing power will be next week, so just buy whatever you can. A year ago the exchange rate was like 500:1, now it’s officially almost 1000 and the blue rate is ~1,300. You can’t rely on menu prices on Google maps.
If you can earn not-pesos, it’s still not too expensive to live here. It’s not as cheap as it used to be, but cheaper than the US, for instance.
But overall, public transport is good, access to goods is better than many Latin American countries. I’ve only been to Buenos Aires so far, but it’s a gorgeous city. People have been super friendly to me. I highly recommend it. I have friends that have been to Iguazú falls, Córdoba, Mendoza wine country, Patagonia and their photos are amazing. And Brazil is right around the corner. I highly recommend visiting!

I do software and all of my jobs have been fully remote since covid. My company is cool with it, but I also use a portable router from GL - iNet to get a VPN onto a VPN so it looks like I’m in the US for the Okta stuff.
- Comment on [Kind of weekly thread] Men over 30, how is your week going? 2 months ago:
I’m currently digital nomading in Buenos Aires for another week. I plan to go to some tango shows, do some dance classes, check out the local cuisine, etc. This weekend I plan to go to another town for a bit and say hi to a friend I made while traveling a few years ago. Today is a work day and calls with my life coach/men’s group. I look forward to those as it adds some stability or sameness to be able to talk with the same group of dudes while I’m constantly changing location and people, etc.
- Comment on What is the actual point of a bra? 3 months ago:
bras were a cheaper alternative to corsets. and yes, they were popular and not as oppressive as hollywood would have you believe, and they were considered good for back support. Bras didn’t need nearly as much metal or time. And since they were cheaper, they were more common. At least, from things I’ve heard elsewhere.
