  God, I love what people manage to create

  I also love that any time someone asks if (tool) exists in non-evil form and someone says “no, not really” that you can almost guarantee someone will show up with a CLI solution that nobody wants to use because it’s a CLI solution

  Across every country they operate in, and if anyone in those countries disagrees they might sue?

  Not saying Im supporting FF here but it’s not as easy as you might think if their stated reason is honest

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't ya know, guns can just ✨ magically appear✨ so any attempt to ban them is impossible. Dumb liberalssss tryna to take away my GOD GIVEN right to murder people!!11!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not taking into account the 250 years our country has had guns be fully legal & how bad our cops are

  I know people with generations of functioning firearms that have been hoarded. I’ve seen people who own multiple functional M60s

  Take into consideration as well that the very people who would enforce these bans (cops) are very supportive of these weapons stockpiles (frequently they ARE them) and they’re racist and want to keep their power as-is

  Now: do you maybe see why even a leftie here might push back against gun laws? The people who’d enforce it would get to remove weapons from those they don’t want having them while ensuring they get to keep whatever they want

  It’s literally what happens every time we pass laws restricting gun ownership. I know of a shit ton of cops here in California with very illegal weaponry that they occasionally brag they fucking stole from minorities when the laws were passed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  after like the 3rd time I was forced stop it from hiding my library and them pushing services in my face

  Seeing shit like this makes me wonder what different Plex I’m using from everyone else. Pinned my local library at the top 4 years ago and now every device shows that tab first when logging in and hasn’t ever behaved differently except when the home server is down (it’ll still go to the tab but read OFFLINE)

  Bait so low quality it rotted away already

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[PSA] Lemmy account deletion is a mess⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly? No, they should t be able to blanket delete everything theyve posted on the off chance it’s identifiable information

  They should have the right to find that info and remove it, but I’m 1000% against people potentially taking down useful information from society and I do not care that people want to whine about their “right” to take their fucking ball back and end the game

  So much useful info gone from Reddit because babies didn’t want to keep supporting the bad site and now good luck finding it anywhere else

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  yawn

  If you’re going to try to use our insults against us: do it right, kind pathetic how you idiots have been trying this schtick for at least the last 15 years and its always pathetic because you fail to use the words right. 1/5 Americans being illiterate indeed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The chuds have more guns, thanks to many years of lefties demanding guns be removed from society and giving theirs up while the chuds just bought more (thanks for that one, Dad and friends)

  They’re also usually a liiiitle more ready to use them, and the law is a looooot more ready to defend them than they are us

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I used to be an ally myself. But people like you hurt minors so 🤷

  Oh hey, a pathetically stupid transphobe! From lemm.ee who could have guessed!

  If you built your rig yourself then there’s 0 reason you’d need a specific company’s wifi card. Even if you buy a prebuilt then there shouldn’t be, even

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux's Sole Wireless/WiFi Driver Maintainer Is Stepping Down - Phoronix⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  explaining they have problems too

  They claimed to have problems and need to order their wifi part form a specific manufacturer yet claimed to have built their machine themselves

  They’re lying, or so completely clueless about what they’re talking about that they come across as such. That’s why they’re getting downvoted. This is usually why, actually

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kobo allows epub

  Kindle doesn’t? Mines 2 years old but my co worker got one for Xmas and theirs loads the epub I sent them no problem at all

  Honestly the Kobo is better as a physical device imo but the Kindle is perfectly simple to commit crimes on if you have Calibre

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it keeps non tech savvy people out,

  Picking a server isn’t a tech savvy person thing to do and it’s a good idea to stop pretending like it is. My wife, who needs me to move her steam games to other drives for her, managed to do it without asking me a thing. Tech skill has nothing to do with it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And that would’ve been different under Harris how exactly?

  Just use fewer words to get your point across next time:

  I’m uninformed on this topic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be fun idk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Professional absolutely, and as a watching sport for sure

  But local games I can actually enjoy playing because theres way less pause between the action in BB than FB. Can get through an entire game of BB with friends or a group in a decent amount of time, though I do wish there was more to do for those on the batting side when they’re not fielded

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be fun idk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not them but I do actually have a special dislike for football over most other sports, the ratio of stuff happening:boring nothing is really bad when watching and when playing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, yes, by modern standards

  My wife’s P7 and my P8P are both roughly the same dimensions as an old landline handset would be (my phone is maybe half an inch thicker than the landline at my work)

  Cell phones of the 00’s were small by phone standards, modern phones are closer to old landline handset sizes than 00’s cells, so I’d say the 00’s cells are the ones off the standard

  If you’re not after fancy features like hot swap or per-lignt control sht like Red dragon and Hex gear works great for less than $50

  I have a fancy hot swappable board with expensive limited edition switches for my main PC and then a hex gear with Kali white and a red dragon with cherry MX and those both feel almost as great as my normal, 3x as expensive board

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Kingdom Come Deliverance II releases, what are your memories of the first title?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Terrible combat for anything more than a 1v1 that made it take 3 attempts at picking up the game before I finally made it past what one would call the opening bit

  Then immediately put it down out of exhaustion

  Creators don’t get money for you watching their sponsorship, only if you click through and do something with it

  If you don’t plan on interacting with the sponsorship we then blocking it just saves time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Psst, the Americans are asleep, post some eggs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on if the eggs get washed or not

  US eggs are washed and will rot on the counter, most other countries do not and so it really doesn’t matter (I could have whether the washing is done or not backwards tbf, but I know it has to do with that)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's time to stop using SMS, here's why!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t have to use a bank at all, you opt for a credit union or a host of other options.

  As someone who’s banked with a credit union before: we still just call it the bank and they have all the same issues normal banks do with shitty tech support

  If someone wants the ability to bank in person at all then it can be incredibly difficult if not impossible to find a bank that doesn’t have shit IT

  You get more freedom with online only banks (what I use now) but those also come with tradeoffs like cash being much more annoying to use

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So too, we could force OpenAI et al to compensate the copyright holders from whom they scraped data

  Fuck expanding copyright’s power in any way. Effort better spent on making AI content illegal to sell or another way of ending corporate profit off of it

  So, you know, totally realistic and all
