Null pwang! Maybe I should consider entering Eurovision.
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 6 days ago:
Very good but can someone please invent a 4TB drive that costs less than it did five years ago?

USA population: 346m. EU population: 449m, i.e. about 29% higher.

What percentage over the USA domestic market would we need to be to be not “too few”?

The scale isn’t too clear from the image but it looks more like a pebble to me.
- Comment on Have I Been Pwned owner, pwned. 1 week ago:
Any company that does that needs to be sent on a mandatory awareness training for failing an obvious fake phishing exercise. It’s far too easy to whitelist that and send it to an “ignore” folder.

Quint, because some of the keys double up as joystick buttons.
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 1 week ago:
As long as it Just Writes™ I don’t care. I want to pick it up, and I want to write. I don’t want to try writing only to find it’s dried up and I have to scribble on some other bit of paper before it comes back to life. Now OK if I’ve left the lid off then that’s my bad, but if I haven’t then it should just flipping work.
- Comment on Is it safe to travel with your phone right now? 1 week ago:
Depends where you’re going. Anywhere first world with a robust democracy that invites opposition and criticism will be safe. Heck in the UK we’ve even got people who openly hate our way of life and want to destroy it.
But if you’re going to one of the less tolerant places where opposing the incumbent can get you in serious trouble, like Russia, North Korea, Iran, or the USA, probably best take a burner phone with some basic stuff on it that can’t possibly be interpreted as any kind of negativity towards the delicate leader and leave your main one switched off somewhere safe at home. In fact unless you enjoy risk it’s probably best to avoid places like that until they get some proper freedoms in place.

- Comment on Ever wonder how the term "pink slip" came about? This is how you were fired. A pink slip on your desk. 2 weeks ago:
Ohh I thought it was something to do with sexy underwear. This actually makes a lot more sense.

- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 2 weeks ago:
We can also do 2+90 here in the UK. There’s a nursery rhyme about “four and twenty blackbirds” that I think the kids are still learning.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 4 weeks ago:
No thanks. I switched to automatic shortly after I moved to Reading where I found in all the stop start traffic I was constantly dancing the clutch fandango and heading for having a left leg like a tree trunk.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 4 weeks ago:
I did a bit of maths at school and I know 218>215, and 53>47.
That is what I call a minority in both places. If all D get together and say “no”, and all R get together and say “yes”, then where a simple majority is required it’ll be an R victory. Any D victory will need some Rs to either swing (and likely get fired), or abstain. Of course if a 2/3 majority is needed for something then R will need some D support to get it through.
- Comment on You knew it was coming: Google begins testing AI-only search results | This version of Google won't show you the 10 blue links at all—Gemini completely takes over the results in AI Mode 4 weeks ago:
Do people still use google? I haven’t touched it for yonks now. Except GRIS, that still works well.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 4 weeks ago:
To be fair to them though, they did just get comprehensively voted out from everywhere. They don’t have a single majority to make any difference to anything. If I were them I’d be sitting back with a large bowl of popcorn going “yal’l voted for this, or at least didn’t vote against it, hope you enjoy getting the full force of this orange idiot right in the face”. But from the headlines I’ve read it would appear they’ve had a few things to say about Fart’s latest hot smelly air.
- Comment on Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals 4 weeks ago:
Can’t a 3D printer double as a 2D printer? It’d only have to print one “slice”; you’d replace the heated nozzle with some sort of writing stick, hey presto instant plotter!
- Comment on are "brush" and "blush" really pronounced differently? i pronounce them the same. 4 weeks ago:
R and L are different letters with different pronunciation.
Out of interest, how do you pronounce “differently”? As “diffelently”, or “differentry”?
- Comment on Im thinking we still have a deeper bottom 5 weeks ago:
How long do you think a strike would need to be for to be effective?
And suppose we start with that? Everyone’d be like “that’s way too long”. So let’s start with a day and build from there. And if a day makes them take action then everyone’s a winner.
- Comment on Ukraine: Zelenskyy offers to quit in return for NATO entry 5 weeks ago:
What a guy. He shot to the top of my rankings that day three years ago when he said he needed ammo, not a ride. And unlike cowardly little shitbox hiding in his kremlin he’s not afraid of visiting the soldiers on the front line.
If only all politicians put their country ahead of themselves like Zelensky does. What an amazing planet this could be.

- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 1 month ago:
As someone who used to, although with gay not trans people, I believed that gay people were sexual deviants and that society accepting them would then go on to accept paedos, and that accepting deviancy was the problem that should be stopped.
Contrary to what others have posted I didn’t conflate gay people with paedos, or label the two groups as equivalent, except in that I thought they were both deviant.

More to the point if “addicted to alcohol” is alcoholic, why isn’t “addicted to work” workic?

Oh, I can do project management too!
Your next task is waves hands around … the thing … waves hands around some more … like the other thing … but different.
- Comment on Be the change you want to see in Lemmy 1 month ago:
“Which server do I join?” seems to be a sticking point for a lot of people.
The “Browse servers” page does say at the top “You can access all content in the lemmyverse from any server, so it doesn’t matter which one you choose”, but on showing this page you immediately scroll that message off the screen. Maybe if you kept that bit visible it would help.
Also I think comparing it with email servers might be helpful. People already know they can email anyone from any email server, and that signing up to, say, Posteo, doesn’t mean you can only email other Posteo users.
- Comment on I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys? 1 month ago:
But sometimes you have to pick the least worst option. Or did they genuinely believe Harris would be worse?
