- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 1 week ago:
ah yeah I figured it wasn’t quite right, I just remember seeing the codec on the details and figured it was tied to it, thanks.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 1 week ago:
On codecs and bitrate? It’s basically codec = file type (.avi, .mp4) and bitrate is how much data is sent per second for the video. Videos only track what changed between frames, so a video of a still image can be 4k with a really low bitrate, but if things are moving it’ll get really blurry with a low bitrate even in 4k.
- Comment on I'm too stupid for this 2 weeks ago:
This is something I’ve been thinking about recently, I’ll see something that is way too complex for me, and think “well this person is just smarter I could never do that.” After 3 months of doing simpler stuff, it now seems challenging but doable. Just doing something for long enough, even pretty complex things become second nature.
- Comment on 'This is definitely my last TwitchCon': High-profile streamer Emiru was assaulted at the event, even as streamers have been sounding the alarm about stalkers and harassment 2 weeks ago:
I hate to break this to you but many people who watch female streamers are not there for the games, and many streamers encourage this parasocial behavior (I don’t think emiru really does, but I don’t really watch twitch anymore). Even for male streamers I’ll see people treating donators like they’re friends and being really encouraging (only when they donate a message though). If you are one of the people who just pops in and out and watches streamers who don’t do this, then you and that streamer are not who he is talking about.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 3 weeks ago:
Idk some of the worst comments I have ever seen are from .world users, maybe not super toxic but definitely redditor type responses. Maybe that’s just because .world is the most popular instance that I see it when I check a bad comment though ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah worst part is it makes you unsure later if people are just pretending or not. In college I wouldn’t trust people weren’t just pretending to like being around me as a joke :/ takes a while of actually being appreciated to get over it…
- Comment on Simpler times? 4 weeks ago:
I wonder if this is a common experience because I’ve had basically the exact same thing happen to me. It’s like it feels inauthentic but also they’re saying nice stuff that no one ever does so I don’t really want to tell them to stop…

It’s the same reason people will go on tiktok or Instagram or reddit all day, gambling is a very “rewarding” behavior, which is now the only one they have left. They know they’re losing money and wasting their time, they just feel even more miserable if they stop.

- Comment on We’re Suing Minecraft in a Class Action Lawsuit 2 months ago:
Probably why he wanted to sue in the first place but the actual lawsuit is over deleting minecraft accounts that didn’t migrate to Microsoft accounts. That restriction was not present in the original TOS, and seems to be illegal to change without the user accepting a new TOS (that isn’t forced under threat of deleting what you own).
- Comment on Roblox Retaliates Against Child Abuse Survivor Who Exposed Platform's Predator Problem 2 months ago:
It’s basically a social platform + mod making platform + discord wrapped into 1 game, people have remade games like call of duty in roblox.
- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 2 months ago:
Eh if 2 people enjoy each other’s company I think that’s all that matters, I knew people who dated during just a summer program when it was only 2 months. Depends how well you think you’d handle it or if you’re worried you might get too attached.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 4 months ago:
Not false at all but a big part imo is also learned, it’s like if I have 10 problems, 5 of which are totally my fault, and the only one talking about the other 5 says “ALL your problems are not your fault.”
It’s like one person actually fully reflected their experiences back to them, but then peddled a ton of lies along with it.
