That’s really awesome for the 10% of gamers who have an Xbox.
- Comment on OpenAI whistleblower’s deemed suicide 5 days ago:
The point is like Russian point. It isn’t just to silence you so trouble goes away that the whistle-blower was involved with. It’s to silence other potential whistle-blowers. It’s too send a message.

I see someone owns a 3d printer.
- Comment on Brand new guides for Lemmy and the Fediverse. Looking for feedback! 1 week ago:
This is fantastic and will definitely get some more people to join. My only nitpicks would be to make the “next page” links at the bottom a bit more obvious, and to fit the mobile apk links directly onto the page (or at least a handful of the most popular ones) instead of it being a separate link to go over them.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 week ago:
Umm…ok. Thanks for that relevant to the conversation bit of information.
- Comment on Attempt to motivate people to take the stairs 1 week ago:
Because there’s more of one sweetener and less of another.
- Comment on Attempt to motivate people to take the stairs 1 week ago:
Fun fact: coke zero uses the same sweeteners as diet coke. Just different amounts/ratios.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 week ago:
Jokes on you. Volume is always off on my phone, so I read the ai.
Also, I don’t actually ever use the ai.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 week ago:
I grew up as a kid without the internet. Google on your phone and youtube kills your critical thinking skills.
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 1 week ago:
Absolutely Thunder for android. Easy, customizable, and is very similar to the app I used for reddit called Relay. Dunno how an apk could be better for using Lemmy.
- Comment on my version is better 1 week ago:
Damn it, Mr.Ingle. Can you not sing “in the garden of eden” without sounding like you have a mouth full of pudding?
Fuck it. We’ll just change the name of the damned song. Who the hell makes a 17 minute long song, anyhow? You’re a damned idiot!
- Comment on Onboarding experience needs to be simpler for mass adoption 1 week ago:
Good tech is easy an intuitive. Computers got popular after you could use a mouse and got a gui. Ipods dominated over the competition because of how dumb easy it was to use. Reddit was easy to move to from Digg because it was pretty much a clone in how it worked. Zero learning curve.
Popular tech is almost always easy.

Your mother would ask you what the hell an “instance” was and then think that picking one meant she couldn’t look at posts from any others.
- Comment on Attempt to motivate people to take the stairs 1 week ago:
By far. Is one can of coke worth a 1 1/4 mile run?
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
Tell them to download the thunder app (it’s very similar to many of the popular reddit apps) and just give them a list of the 10 most popular fediverse’s to pick from to make an account.
I mentioned this like a year ago. Users will need their hands held to get them to easily come over.
- Comment on Looks like Lemmy is climbing up to the 2023 exodus days numbers again 1 week ago:
Our content is definitely on the low end for niche topics. Subs either don’t exist, or there might be like 4 members.

But will we feel the shift in gravity as the planet starts moving straight?
- Comment on If you can find the oil filter, I'll give you a quarter. If you can get it out after the lube tech tightened it to 325 lbft, I'll give you sixty bucks. 2 weeks ago:
You see where that filter is. You damned well know it was tightened with just a hand and no tool was involved. OP just needs to pull out his man hand and power that sucker loose.
- Comment on Yeah agree 3 weeks ago:
Supposedly toyota is releasing a new celica around 2027. It’s supposed to be a 2 liter turbo mid engine all wheel drive and only available with a 6 speed manual transmission. Should be awesome.
Downside is that they’re talking about a $70,000 price tag.
Side note: I really miss my ap1 S2000.

If the Millennium didn’t start until 2001, then the “next quarter century” doesn’t start until 2026.
- Comment on This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store 1 month ago:
Plus, this gas station is likely very close to a PO. Heating up piss to smugle in from 20 minutes away won’t likely work very well.
- Comment on I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones. 1 month ago:
Google Maps on my smartphone is God tier.
I drove in the before times. You have any idea how much of a pain in the ass it was to use a paper map or look at written directions and miss a turn? Do you realize how great it is to type in “food near me” and see everywhere you might want to stop for a bite to eat and right where it’s at? That I can youch a business name on the screen and it will show me its hours they’re open? How n8ce it is that I don’t even have to look away from the road and have nice lady robot voice tell me to turn right 2 miles?
I could give up a lot of my smartphone stuff and not have it be “for the worse”, but im keeping the mapping stuff.
- Comment on Patient gamer badge of honor on the Steam Replay 2024 2 months ago:
In the past three years, the only time I hadn’t got that badge was the year vampire survivors came out.
But no fair. It was a pretty retro game and only c9st like three bucks.

- Comment on Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser 2 months ago:
I’m guessing it probably does. It brings in like $30,000,000,000+ a year. What it actually costs to run is seemingly a closely guarded secret, but I’d probably say it’s a fair amount less than the thirty billion, since they aren’t having to pay a third party company or anything for hosting any of it.
- Comment on flouride 2 months ago:
You stated you’ve used this one half ased article in order to claim “the science is unclear”, which just announces that you’re a troll or a simpleton. You’re giving weight to a Chinese blip of an article and holding it up to an equal value against the loads of research and data that shows its safe.
If someone was holding a penny in one hand and 50 pennies in the other, would you say it was unclear which hand was holding more?
- Comment on flouride 2 months ago:
You want some fancy rebuttal to a single linked study that the article states was a bunch of partials thrown together, that came from a country famously known for half-assing and cutting corners to get ahead? The country that was caught mixing lead into ground Cinnamon to sell it for a higher weight? The one where buildings sit half done or the cement falls apart by the time it’s together? The ones who lay sod over cement in order to pass the amount of vegetation present on new construction?
That’s the article you could and and latch onto in order to believe? Are you even aware that fluoride occurs naturally in water and that about 40% of all the drinking water across the globe already has around the amount the US gets theirs up to, or a larger amount(some places so large they do actually cause health issues)? It’s literally been drank for thousands of years.
But you trust an incomplete study from China more than anything else? Why?
- Comment on flouride 2 months ago:
Yep. In fact, 21% of the world’s natural drinking water used falls within the recommended range for fluoride, while over another 20% is higher and in some countries actually does cause some non-superficial side effects and problems. Those don’t pop up until in concentrations at least 3 times higher than recommended.
- Comment on flouride 2 months ago:
Fair enough!
