- Comment on I'm the developer of WalkScape, the RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL. We're now accepting more people to the Closed Beta! 2 months ago:
I’ve been playing since the last round of beta invites, and I love it. Everything’s pretty intuitive so far, and I find myself moving around more to give me those steps. Can’t wait to see what comes next!!
- Comment on Fortnite Players Band Together to Pick on In-Game Tesla Cybertrucks: 'Destroy on Sight' - IGN 3 months ago:
I wish I could do this in real life. I’ve seen two in my city and they’re visually arresting.

This is the real deal…
- Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now 4 months ago:
Basically, yeah. If your game is in a playable state, launching in early access allows devs to get feedback from the community, who help shape the game all the way to the full release. Generally EA games are discounted, with the expectation that it isn’t finished or polished, full of bugs, etc.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor 4 months ago:
What’s wrong with Pass? Genuine question.
The web browser thing seems like such a waste, especially when privacy-focused browsers already exist and can even integrate their suite of apps pretty easily.
- Comment on Remember when planes and hospitals had smoking sections? (Probably a lot of you do not). 4 months ago:
In early high school (15~ years ago), I went with my girlfriend at the time and her family to a local restaurant that still had one of the only smoking sections left in the city. All of her family smoked, and I couldn’t even enjoy my meal because my senses were overloaded by cigarettes. It was horrible and I’m so thankful we removed smoking indoors in the states.
- Comment on *nonchalant whistling* 4 months ago:
I thought some platforms (particularly Facebook/Instagram) will parse images for “bad” words and throttle the engagement of those posts, so people have taken to censoring themselves to avoid that.
- Comment on Lemmy is the best social media 4 months ago:
I’m convinced those people have to be elaborate trolls. Like the flat earthers.

- Comment on Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries 6 months ago:
A community manager in HD2 Discord has said that the mandatory account linking is a Sony directive.
It appears that Steam had delisted the game in countries that PSN is not available in.
- Comment on Why exactly are raisins toxic for dogs and not humans? 6 months ago:
The cig is a nice touch.
- Comment on EU tells Meta it can't paywall privacy 6 months ago:
It may be higher for two reasons. First thing I thought of, they’re accounting for Play Store/iOS fees. Second, I guarantee there’s loads more mobile users they can make a few more pennies off of.
- Comment on I can see why the laundry used to be a entire day job before washing machines. 7 months ago:
glances at my week old basket of laundry to be folded and put away
- Comment on Amazon "search through reviews" is blindly just running an AI model now 8 months ago:
A picture of the AI function on Amazon’s product page. It’s reviewing the product as if it were a pirate. I made it say “brick shithouse” lmao
- Comment on Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you? 8 months ago:
Gaslighting is the process of making someone question their own beliefs. It’s usually seen in the context of abusive relationships, but any person can gaslight any other person in whatever context (i.e., politics, etc).

I wouldn’t call her a hero. She was wildly incompetent, and screwed up half of the employees’ tax info. I was a single filer with no dependants, but she had me down for married with 4 dependants. She also lost all the forms, so I couldn’t prove I messed up my W2s (or whatever those forms are).

It was the way the information was presented, plus it made everyone realize that there was a pretty huge gap in several people’s salaries, even those in the same job (ie, one engineer made 50k while another made 70k, doing the same job). I agree though, employees should not be punished for discussing pay.

At my old job, they had an HR person that was not qualified to be an HR person, and she “accidentally” sent an Excel spreadsheet of everyone’s wages and salaries to the entire company email distro.
- She was not fired, but put on a suspension.
- Don’t know why she had an unsecured Excel file of important information like that.
- Everyone was pissed lol
