- Comment on Why Cops Frequently Got Caught Planting Drugs in 2017 | Look. All technology comes with a learning curve. 3 days ago:
Body cams film people being shot. Body cams film people being dragged out of their beds in their underwear and detained. And we’re clutching our pearls at some farts and groans that no one is going to watch? If you can’t handle someone possibly hearing you fart you shouldn’t be a cop.
But fine, allow cops to mute the audio. Problem solved.
If they mute the audio anytime they are not in the bathroom it is assumed they are trying to hide something and the missing audio is assumed to be damaging to the cops testimony.

Don’t put mirrors in front of urinals. Problem solved.

Unless you’re going to the bathroom in front of a mirror why does it need to be paused at all?
- Comment on Windows 11 just lost 5% market share in two months despite Windows 10 losing support. 1 week ago:
They thought they were too ingrained in everything for people to leave so they could start enshitfying and everyone would just have to deal with it. They knew they would lose some market share by doing so but are gambling on the increased profits from targeted ads and AI training data would make up for it.
It’s also likely that for a single glorious quarter stockholder value was slightly increased, therefore it was a complete success.
- Comment on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee" 1 week ago:
Epic pays a flat rate to offer games for free, they don’t pay per download.
Downloading them just helps Epic inflate their “active users” number when talking to investors.
- Comment on AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast 1 week ago:
it’s at least aware of its own state in the same way that your car is aware of it’s mileage and engine condition.
I agree: not aware at all.
- Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday. 1 week ago:
If people keep striking every Friday it will be noticed. Sure, it won’t be as impactful as striking every day, but it starts a good foundation to build on while having some immediate impact.

Isn’t Mint a version of Ubuntu?
- Comment on she just doesn't understand me 3 weeks ago:
Using an Aux cable I have to crank my stereo up to be able to hear it even with my phone set to max volume. It doesn’t have an output level that’s a reasonable volume.
- Comment on she just doesn't understand me 3 weeks ago:
And the output from the phone is so quiet even with my phone at Max volume I have to crank my stereo up on order to hear it. Switching input from Aux to anything else without lowering the volume first is what’s going to damage my hearing.

So it would be effective at preventing your site from being used as training data.
- Comment on Amazon is forcibly upgrading Prime members to Alexa Plus, and users are not happy 3 weeks ago:
Not surprising. I had to remove my credit card information from Amazon because I kept getting automatically signed up for Prime without my consent.
- Comment on Growls menacingly 3 weeks ago:
“you have no bills, no job, no agency, no control. You are carried around to familiar and unfamiliar places at random whether you want to or not. Large unfamiliar creatures are constantly around you. You cannot communicate with your
captorshandlers, they only react when you scream.” - Comment on 'Microslop' is heading for Edge – major browser redesign is inspired by Copilot, and it's already seriously unpopular 4 weeks ago:
Because you think you have a full monopoly and everyone has no option but to put up with it.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 5 weeks ago:
People who have been in situations where having a gun would have made things better tend to not be around anymore to post about it.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 1 month ago:
There is no requirement listed that the assignment be written in English, or submitted on paper. An assignment written in Latin on the side of a cow (with a 1 inch margin) is not explicitly forbidden.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 1 month ago:
it merely demands a clear “reaction” showing they read the linked article & thought about it.
The student’s essay does neither of these things. The essay shows the student read the title of the article, not the article itself. I realize those as are the type of reactions we’re used to seeing on Lemmy, but a reaction showing they read the article would mention points directly from the article instead of just the general theme of “Trans people existing”.
Regurgitating dogmatic talking points does not demonstrate that the student “thought about it”. It reads like the student read the title, maybe the first couple of lines, then shut off their brain and said “trans bad because others tell me trans bad”.
Again, I realize it’s very common to see replies from people that did not read a or think about an article so this seems normal, but a collage level course is going to have higher standards than social media.

Do the Nazis ever claim they are intolerant of minorities because the minorities were intolerant to them?
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 1 month ago:
Group A: “I am intolerant of (group) because they need to go back to their own country and not live in mine.”
Group B: “I am intolerant of (group) because they don’t tolerate other ethnicities.”
This guy: “but who was intolerant first?”

- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
The article from July explains why Steam banned this game last month, despite Itch (which stopped selling certain games due to the payment processors) is selling it?
Who is this article writer that can see 4 months into the future?!
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
You claimed Steam banned this because of the payment processors. The same payment processors being used by stores that didn’t ban this. Seems a relevant point to the discussion we are having.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
Do the other stores hosting the game have the same payment processors?
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
Steam hasn’t banned adult games. That is proven with a quick search of Steam’s catalog.

the slippery slope starts somewhere.
You know slippery slope is a fallacy right? The “slippery slope” can also stop anywhere.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
When did I (or anyone else) exert pressure on Steam to not carry this? My understanding is this is a decision Steam made.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
I don’t know but don’t give up. Try reading my post again, take it slow, I’m sure your can work it out.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 months ago:
That’s not how that works. You don’t get to decide what a store does and does not sell. Steam refuses hundreds of games a year, this one doesn’t get special treatment.
Saying “I understand why (store) would not want to carry this product” is not the same as saying “no store should carry this product.”

drawing a murder isn’t murder and drawing Noncon isn’t rape.
Drawing people having sex isn’t sex, but it is porn. Verbally attacking someone isn’t assault, but it can be abuse. Drawing a comic where someone tortures and then kills the president of the United States isn’t murder, but it will get the FBI knocking on your door.

The scene where a little girl asks to ride a naked man, and then rides a naked man? You don’t see why that might be problematic?
