- Comment on Jack Dorsey claims Bluesky is 'repeating all the mistakes' he made at Twitter 18 hours ago:
“I lit another fire and it also burned!” -Jack
- Comment on I’m fascinated by this open-world delivery game that sounds like Death Stranding on a horse in 13th-century Mongolia, with “unparalleled equine realism” 3 days ago:
Is it in any way funded by Turkmenistan chairman Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow?
- Comment on Mean world syndrome has reacted a fever pitch. 4 days ago:
So like if a woman prefers the strange bear does the strange man get let out of the woods?
- Comment on goddamn 1 week ago:
Oh loam. Construction engineers will try to force you into accepting septic system effluent unless stopped by a rational designer that recognizes a ticking time bomb.
- Comment on When you do it yourself and it looks like you did it yourself lol 1 week ago:
It has been 15+ years since I have drywalled but that looks absolutely fine. Yeah it’s a clear seam but it’s straight and along an edge. Paint and the general noise of decorations and wall hangings will make it disappear just fine.
- Comment on Razer to pay out over $1 million in refunds over its misleading (and hideous) Zephyr face mask 1 week ago:
Anything: exists Razer: I can slap some RBG LED on that.
- Comment on I am the thing that goes *thump* 'Fuck!' in the night 2 weeks ago:
That stairwell off to the right seems to be at such a shallow angle they could have just made a flat hallway and used slightly steeper steps.
- Comment on Goatse, like Michelangelo's David, should be an exception to normal rules of censorship, due to its status as part of our shared cultural heritage. 2 weeks ago:
Even at that level of pixelation: clear as day.
- Comment on It is truly magic 3 weeks ago:
Inevitable as the heat death of the universe.
- Comment on Is Lemmy growing or shrinking? 3 weeks ago:
I think there has been some influx where a lot of new users made room for themselves while pressing others to leave/defederate. Beehaw was the notable and initial example where the growth of people from reddit resulted in less interactivity.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 4 weeks ago:
I think for many is shock and surprise is that anything even remotely “ml” is even allowed. Like something illegal is being allowed in plain sight.
- Comment on Biden to defy Supreme Court in second attempt at sweeping student loan handout 5 weeks ago:
Friend, person
Man, woman, camera.
- Comment on sun time 5 weeks ago:
There are a number of geological anomalies in and around the area. I went there for a class on extremeophiles studying the organisms living in some of the more extreme environments.

Nintendo is the Apple of gaming.
- Comment on Walking in a bouncy house be like 2 months ago:
That bridge is now a habitat for a Pacific octopus, and there are now two bridges on that location.
Grew up (almost) in view of the Narrows.
- Comment on Taylor Swift getting to the trade center. 2 months ago:
The natural evolution of these memes.
- Comment on This may just not be the best packaging idea... 2 months ago:
It was soy and lentil in the book.
The movie based on the book made it people.
- Comment on The White House wants to 'cryptographically verify' videos of Joe Biden so viewers don't mistake them for AI deepfakes 2 months ago:
Not trusting unsigned videos is one thing, but will people be judging the signature or the content itself to determine if it is fake?
Why only one source should be trusted is a salient point. If we are talking trust: it feels entirely plausible that an entity could use its trust (or power) to manufacture a signature.
And for some it is all too relevant that an entity like the White House, (or the gambit of others, past or present), have certainly presented false informstion as true to do things like invade countries.
Trust is a much more flexible concept that is willing to be bent. And so cryptographic verification really has to demonstrate how and why something is fake to the general public. Otherwise it is just a big ‘trust me bro.’
- Comment on The White House wants to 'cryptographically verify' videos of Joe Biden so viewers don't mistake them for AI deepfakes 2 months ago:
It would become quite easy to dismiss anything for not being cryptographically verified simply by not cryptographically verifying.
I can see the benefit of having such verification but I also see how prone it might be to suppressing unpopular/unsanctioned journalism.
Unless the proof is very clear and easy for the public to understand the new method of denial just becomes the old method of denial.
- Comment on My pick is Rubberband Man by the Spinners. 2 months ago:
I don’t care what the song is, but it should be blasting out of the speakers of a Ford Focus with an after market spoiler and LED underglow.
- Comment on FLOSS communities right now 2 months ago:
Lemmy communities with discord channels are really quite something.
- Comment on Piers Morgan gets owned 3 months ago:
Defeated Hitler.
And a lot of his rivals.
And non rivals.
And civilians.
- Comment on People who order "a decaff coffee with an extra shot" - why? 3 months ago:
Generally they’re seeking a specific level of coffee flavor. My spouse does this and its specifically to balance the flavor ratios of the drink.
If the third shot is regular they’re likely just managing caffeine intake while maintaining flavor. My spouse also does this.
- Comment on AI-created “virtual influencers” are stealing business from humans 4 months ago:
“Stealing” business…?
- Comment on Twitch allowing more nudity after disproportionately banning female streamers | Twitch confirmed its policy banning nudity was sexist. 4 months ago:
Sure, but you should be aware that logging out, using a private window, or a different computer are all sure fire ways to ensure it acts as close to randomly or popular as possible.
The 18+ streams shouldn’t be freely advertised until the user has identified themselves as 18+ at any rate.
- Comment on Twitch allowing more nudity after disproportionately banning female streamers | Twitch confirmed its policy banning nudity was sexist. 4 months ago:
I don’t use tiktok and haven’t ever so I’ll have to take your word on that.
I suspect ignoring content is way more influential to the algorithm. But at the same time I spend relatively little to no time just browsing streamer channels.
It really seems like seeing something sexy every now and then isn’t really pushing it into faces. But if anything I do not think Twitch is readily prepared or equipped to adequately sequester their 18+ content given the absolute reliance on users and streamers to self report their content and access to it.
- Comment on Twitch allowing more nudity after disproportionately banning female streamers | Twitch confirmed its policy banning nudity was sexist. 4 months ago:
It hasn’t been strictly gaming for many years,
What is interesting is if you don’t click on or watch those streams Twitch doesn’t recommend them to you.
A lot of the complaining is often just an unaware self report which is kinda funny.
- Comment on Twitch updates sexual content guidelines amid ‘topless’ meta backlash 4 months ago:
No one has to watch the channels they don’t want to watch. Change the channel if you don’t like it. That’s why they’re called channels.
- Comment on AMD says overclocking blows a hidden fuse on Ryzen Threadripper 7000 to show if you've overclocked the chip, but it doesn't automatically void your CPU's warranty 4 months ago:
Man the Intel Core Duo 2 was a snapshot in time where overclocking was acceptable.
Those chips could go, and that rerelease just kept that train going.
