What’s up with everyone spamming these ad articles for bluesky?
- Comment on We are a lot more alike than we are different 21 hours ago:
cull classism, fascism, racism, transphobia , homophobia, misogyny, and pedophilia from the world
One of these is not like the others.

We’ve dropped it October 2023. Fuck them Zionist shits.
- Comment on What should I bring to far-north Scandinavia? 3 days ago:
For the outer layer, do not go with synthetic stuff, despite what people will tell you. An oversized Icelandic wool sweater or similar will catch snow and wind much more effectively (and dry in no time when indoors.

How do you make it?
- Comment on Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes 2 weeks ago:
I up voted it for their effort anyway. It’s contributing discussion. Including you calling them out on it. You also deserve an (ultimately meaningless and fleeting) up vote.
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 2 weeks ago:
Hope you like your new saviour, Crappy AI Generated Arch Jesus!
- Comment on Crunchyroll just Committed a Federal Crime. 2 weeks ago:
Why do folks hate crunchyroll here so much? I’ve been torrenting anime before like everyone else, but a couple years gap later I have found it more convenient to pay $9/mo or whatever and watch shows interchangeably on TV, PC, tablet and phone. I get it, I could do this using self-hosting with various tools, but all those have an upfront cost for a media server and time invested in figuring out how I can make it all work seamlessly on a 2017 LG TV, an iPhone, Linux and a shitty Samsung tablet, plus potentially subscription fee for seed box and/or VPN as well. Whereas crunchyroll just works and if I get tired of anime again, I’ll just cancel the service.
The only thing I don’t like about crunchyroll is the lack of dubbed kids shows.

Aka. regulatory capture

It sounds like the problem is not with the feds but with the DMCA. It needs to be overturned.
- Comment on I'm back with another great recipe 3 weeks ago:
Heresy. Only sweet paprika is real paprika.
- Comment on LinkedIn fined $335 million in EU for tracking ads privacy breaches 3 weeks ago:
I think the problem goes deeper. Their page tracks everything you do and then sells that data to third parties. UBO only blocks ads and tracking.
The only way to prevent linkedin from selling data related to you is to not use their site at all.
- Comment on Peter Todd in hiding after being “unmasked” as bitcoin creator 3 weeks ago:
I see this shit about Chomsky being regurgitated like once a week somewhere, and every time I actually read the source material that someone like a YouTube is referring to, I just come to the realization that people can’t read for shit and don’t understand philosophy and hypotheticals.
Not that I do, but Chomsky is definitely not full of shit, nor a genocide denier.

- Comment on Internet Archive breached again through stolen access tokens 4 weeks ago:
Reading that whole page, holy shit, it’s like a twelve year old wrote it trying to sound very smart while also attempting to divert blame and falsify agenda. If this ain’t a Russian psyop, nothing is.
- Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences 4 weeks ago:
I have a HP printer that works perfectly fine on Linux. But it’s from 2015.

Why only for those?
- Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants 1 month ago:
I run code snippets by three or four LLMs and the consensus is never there. Claude has been the worst for me.

I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it
- Comment on Is 24/7 a common idiom throughout the world? 1 month ago:
“Éjjel-nappal, a hét minden napján!”
No, I guess 24/7 is not ubiquitous.
- Comment on Multiplayer shooters should get "pure" healers that can't shoot 1 month ago:
I still think it’s okay to have high skill ceiling classes though. It’s one reason dota2 Invoker was so popular for example.
They could probably add one healer in a moba or team shooter that has a complicated but rewarding game play.
- Comment on Multiplayer shooters should get "pure" healers that can't shoot 1 month ago:
Disagree. Both Ragnarok Online pvp and World of Warcraft arena had tank mage builds (discipline priest and priest/high priest) and they were incredibly fun to play. Especially early-ish discipline pvp was all about proactive absorption and then removing as many buffs and burning mana of the enemy.
Then of course blizzard did their usual blizzard shit.
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 1 month ago:
I’m obviously exaggerating. I got some stupid “top slacker” award at the last company function. My wife told me that actually does not shine a good light on me.
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 1 month ago:
I just have slack running on my phone. If I’m at IKEA instead of my computer and someone wants something, I’ll just tell them I’ll take a look at it after lunch. If I’m out biking in the afternoon, I just tell them I’ll take a look at it tomorrow morning.
If someone wants something really urgently, I’ll tell them to give me thirty minutes. Thirty minutes later I’ll tell them that the results are inconclusive and this will need more time, for which I have scheduled a block for tomorrow.
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 1 month ago:
You don’t need a lawyer in small claims. Can also go with a paralegal or just represent yourself.
But that’s not why the small claims is backlogged anyway. I have actually no idea why it’s backlogged. I’ve been a defendant in a small claims court case since 2001 and nothing has progressed except for an arbitration hearing in 2002.
- Comment on Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second 1 month ago:
Yes and no. Supposedly the resolution is not in 4K or even 1080p, but something much lower that is still enough to identify content, like shows, movies and ads, but not enough to make out minute detail.
- Comment on How do I make my own internet? 1 month ago:
I’ve read a creepy pasta somewhere from this guy’s pov, that somehow discovered a computer at one of the businesses they took over as a contracted IT, think car wash or something, and they’ve ended up discovering a computer in a closet that was networked with other computers in the area to share CSAM and other smut. I forgot how the story ended as it was fairly long, but they were describing the technical non-sophistication of the whole network in great detail. The PCs were basically just networked windows xp workstations or something, without any sort of password protection on them or their shared folders.
