Admittedly at this point you probably won’t find much on the official site. Hopefully someone has saved the first version?

Ah, a man of culture! But this one is too greenish, IMO
- Comment on Why is comment section of this video filled with nazis? 1 week ago:
Going off QuinnyCoded’s comment, I’d speculate the song is used in some antisemitic meme TikTok video or something similar. Kind of like Little Dark Age getting associated with nazi Hyperborea fantasies.

This one seems to be the closest, unironically. Now my curiosity is satisfied and my soul at peace.
- Comment on What is this colour? 1 week ago:
No, it’s the colour of one book I own and it just struck me how I can’t name or describe it.
- Comment on What is this colour? 1 week ago:
Lol, is that an actual colour? I’m googling and the results are “mouse’s back”, although that one’s too gray IMO…

- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 1 week ago:
LG’s recent software update has forcibly installed Microsoft Copilot, an AI assistant, on smart TVs without removal options, sparking widespread user backlash over privacy, bloatware, and loss of control. This highlights growing tensions in smart devices, where monetization often overrides user preferences.
Sure is ironic that the article summary is itself AI-generated.
- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 1 week ago:
Pretty sure it was Scottish English. Does anyone outside of super rural places actively use Scots anyway?
- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 1 week ago:
Idk, I recently heard some thick Scottish English and I couldn’t understand literally anything. That might be in part due to the fact that I’m not a native speaker, but still I believe people outside the British isles would struggle with it.
Some of the uniformity is a result of cultural domination of specific centres and now unavoidable loss of original dialectal variation.
- Comment on Mozilla’s Betrayal of Open Source: Google’s Gemini AI is Overwriting Volunteer Work on Support Mozilla 2 weeks ago:
start putting up the money to make their support no longer required
There’s no way individual donations from ordinary people could match Google’s. They’re also likely to be less reliable.
Mozilla doesn’t even ask for donations from users a whole lot, and the money they receive mostly doesn’t go into development of the browser:
These funds directly support advocacy campaigns (i.e. asking big tech companies to protect your privacy), research and publications like the *Privacy Not Included buyer’s guide and Internet Health Report, and covers a portion of our annual MozFest gathering.

- Comment on My Religion 2 weeks ago:
That’s what you’d assume, but again in my country this is not a rare situation. Yes, people literally spend years studying to become gynecologists, and then don’t want to do one of the important parts of their job.
Admittedly, it is believed that many of the gynecologists actually do the abortions… in private clinics where they work in along with their job in the public hospital.
- Comment on My Religion 2 weeks ago:
Actually “fuck off” to the above statement as well in many cases. “I’m a gynecologist. My religion says I can’t do an abortion.” Fuck off. Where I live (Croatia) pharmacies can refuse to sell you contraceptive pills if the person on the counter says it disagrees with their religion. Fuck off.
People’s values are never a purely private matter.
- Comment on Lemmy Politics 3 weeks ago:
Well, db0 isn’t strictly anarchist, I joined because it’s a pro-piracy instance (and also have no essential problems with the other important positions of the instance, i.e. anarchism and being pro-AI). So it’s unavoidable that some non-anarchists join as well. I’ve seen some - but still very few - db0 users who do come off as tankies. Either way even if there was more of them it still makes no sense to me why the above user would find it relevant to shit on db0 in this thread.

It’s not a very funny shitpost, if that’s the case.

Tf does db0 even have to do with this? Are you ok?

Where can I call women sl*ts and wh#res when they disagree with me on opinion?
Where can I call men bitch*s, when they try to correct me?
Where do femcels, Andrew Tates and wizards talk here?
Strong “14-year-old discovers /b/” vibes there.

Hmm, you’re still marked as a bot on my end. Maybe it takes a while to update.
- Comment on Google Revisits JPEG XL in Chromium After Earlier Removal 4 weeks ago:
My impression is that for ordinary non-power users it was supported from the start (i.e. the commonplace image viewers and editors could open it), it just felt annoying at first because it seemed forced upon the user.

IIRC, I used to do it in Excel. It was GRUEsome and I didn’t get very far.
- Comment on Calling all Dickheads! 4 weeks ago:
This sort of advice would be more useful 200 pages ago… but anyway it’s always good to search for an annotated edition. I read Norton critical edition,* it was really good, had diagrams showing what the different parts of the boat are called, a glossary, supplementary essays, and throughout the text all sorts of footnotes (some of them maybe too explicitly interpretative, but oh well). But I believe even the slightly more modest but still seriously prepared editions such as Oxford World Classics would do the job.
* a critical edition means the editors didn’t just reproduce an existing text, but worked off the most “original” materials available, such as the first edition or the author’s own manuscripts

- Comment on Calling all Dickheads! 4 weeks ago:
Squeeze! squeeze! squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me; and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-laborers’ hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally; as much as to say,—Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill-humor or envy! Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and sperm of kindness.
