  Healthy optimism

  To increase humanities control over its environment. The form that takes is a secondary concern

  Let’s be real here, it’s the second one

  Coin

  Look, the glasses are nice and all, but they don’t give you a 50% change to win the lottery and randomly realise a way to prove/disprove the Riemann hypothesis every two weeks

  I wonder how this works with elections. In my country, the votes are counted within 12 hours. When I’m voting on a party, I am attempting to make said party the largest one. Does the coin just give me a 50% chance to unilaterally decide my government every election cycle?

  I feel the opposite. Still all but one opinion gets drowned out. It’s just that now the opinion that survives is the one that screams the loudest rather than the mainstream one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the best features of Lemmy that aren't available in Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would consider that a downside tbh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truly amazing⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Money

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear YouTube; About that Chapter Skipping Feature⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Holding spacebar pressed used to play the video at half speed, due to pausing and unpausing extremely quickly

  Now it plays the video at double speed, meaning that I have to set playback speed manually when I want to watch in slow motion

  I can see this being preferable in the long run, but damn if it isn’t annoying in the present

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the Internet and society itself is so divided nowadays ?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy really needs a super-upvote system

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad Bots Account for 73% of Internet Traffic: Analysis⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a remarkably terrible Wikipedia article

  Any xkcd with beret guy is a good one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct. That is why I am not switching

  Besides, the EU is shown time and time again that it will protect its citizens if the megacorps overstep their boundaries, so the claim that chrome holds too much power is bs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct, it matters to me

  So, as long as Firefox doesn’t really offer something that in my opinion outways all it’s UX issues, I am not inclined to switch

  Looking at my score, appearantly that is offensive though

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that a typo, or a saying I’m not familiar with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re all getting quite hung up about someone voicing that they’re not ready to switch to your preferred browser tbh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Popping out a tab doesn’t turn it into a draggable window, but just into cursor basic cursor held object. This gives no visual feedback on what is actually happening and makes the whole operation much less visually clear

  It’s a small thing, but in the times I tried Firefox, I noticed a lot of these rough edges to the point that it became frustrating to use. I’m using this specific one as a benchmark for when I’m willing to give it a shot again

  ^(Besides open source is sketchy)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's Ad Blocker Crackdown Is Getting Harder to Dodge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I will when they finally fix dragging tabs between windows

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huh. Pikachu evolved.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It was, indeed, a shiny ponyta

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Huh. Pikachu evolved.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So did I. The older brother of a friend gave me a lvl 100 raichu for this weird blue ponyta I had. How kind of him to make that trade with a clueless 10 year old

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I may be misunderstanding you, but how does that stop an attacker?

  Getting a copy of someone’s fingerprint can be done without their knowledge since it is the easiest biometric to accidentally leave behind. Having to restart my phone doesn’t suddenly change my fingerprints.

  Or, do you have to actually re-register your prints on a daily basis via a different form of authentication? That’d seem inconvenient and like it would just move the problem around

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I have MFA in addition to that pw, yes

  There are better phones out there.

  That’s news to me. Which other mobile authentication is there besides pin, pattern, facial and fingerprint?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you see that’s wrong with it that we don’t if I may ask?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hi, yes, I am that minority

  I have a 37 character password with both cases, numbers and special characters to login to my pw vault using long random strings

  My phone has a swipe pattern lock since that is the safest lock option it allows in the first place. I wish I could lock it better, but the only other options available to me are a 4 character pin, and fingerprints/facial scan. I hope the problems with those are obvious

  Couple that with the fact that I have a daily predictable commute in public transit where I have a habit to put my phone next to me during breakfast and you have a recipe for disaster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google will now make passkeys the default for personal accounts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But it becomes much easier if you want to compromise a specific target individual

  Pretty sure he was being sarcastic

  Not the visa or MasterCard kinds that you can give to sites like this. It happens rather often that I want to throw money at the internet, but simply can’t. Other examples are Wolfram alpha and chatgpt plus

  Oh, PayPal works. Thanks

  Checked the link. I literally can’t buy it as a European

  Because credit cards are a scam I refuse to partake in, and they seem to only accept American bank transfers
