Unequivocally no.
- Comment on I Don’t Want To Spend My One Wild And Precious Life Dealing With Google’s AI Search - Aftermath 1 month ago:
I tried to switch my primary search engine on Firefox to DDG yesterday when I heard the news. 3 searches later, I switched back. I don’t like Google, but damned if I’m not used to it.
- Comment on After Raids, NYPD Denied Student Protesters Water and Food in Jail 1 month ago:
Surely some of the college kids must have rich parents who can kick up a fuss? Maybe a class action lawsuit or something?
- Comment on With two Boeing whistleblowers dead in one month, either Boeing is actively killing them, or there are enough whistleblowers that this rate of death is not statistically significant 1 month ago:
My dream is for Spotify (and other music playing apps) to let you customize your shuffle algorithm. Minimum number of songs between repeating an artist or album, that sort of thing.
- Comment on It's offensive, is what it is. 1 month ago:
I don’t understand the emotion this meme format is trying to convey.
- Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones 2 months ago:
This thread is wild to me as a shokz devotee. I use them for everything, no secondary set of headphones, music sounds good. I don’t care about bass at all, though.
- Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones 2 months ago:
The band needs to be a flexible metal so that enough pressure is applied to the ear pads. If they were floppy, you wouldn’t hear them very well.
- Comment on Hooooooooooooooooooot 2 months ago:
Apparently it’s the fancy word for wind power.
- Comment on iPod with custom shell, new screen, 512gb SSD, and a 30 day battery 2 months ago:
As a 3d printer enthusiast, I object to you implying that 3d printed parts aren’t high quality, while acknowledging that you’re very correct.
- Comment on Tidal’s subscription is getting simpler and cheaper — yes, you read that right 3 months ago:
I initially upvoted this comment, but since every other comment you’ve made is weird and combative, you’ve somehow made me stop agreeing with you. It’s an odd feeling.
- Comment on Something's fishg about religion... 4 months ago:
Secondary Fun Fact: It was created by a franchise owner, against the wishes of CEO Ray Kroc, who had created a sandwich with grilled pineapple as a meat substitute for that purpose.
- Comment on One month ago, I didn't really know what 3D printing was. Yesterday, I designed in FreeCAD my first model and printed it. What an amazing experience. 5 months ago:
Blender is the last thing I would recommend to someone making functional parts like that. Fusion 360 is probably a more intuitive leap from FreeCAD, or OnShape, which I wish I had learned instead of Fusion in the first place.
- Comment on The salaries of Wikimedia executives are sparking an online debate about tech sector wages 6 months ago:
Why is this such an unpopular take? Is it because Lemmy is largely comprised of tech bros who make too much money? I just don’t understand how people are justifying any salary above 200k, and even that’s a huge stretch.
- Comment on Redditor finds heavy block of iron shavings inside cheap PSU, also appears to lack safety protections 6 months ago:
That’s definitely what they meant, I don’t know why you’re so certain otherwise. Just because a question doesn’t have an answer doesn’t mean it wasn’t asked.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 6 months ago:
You definitely can. It’s been a thing with hybrids for 20+ years.

God, I fucking hate Ernest Cline.

Downvoted because veteran
- Comment on 13 years later and I still feel the same. 7 months ago:
I love this. At some point, getting called like a dog really started bothering me.
- Comment on A good deal of IT work, too 7 months ago:
It is
- Comment on At some point in time people will link to stack overflow, forum or similar support articles that are over 100 years old. 7 months ago:
Who downvoted this? The person you replied to didn’t read the post.
- Comment on AAAAtoms 7 months ago:
Not really. You get to 12.5 pretty quickly with 100 degrees. 64 is better due to it being a square of 2.
- Comment on AAAAtoms 7 months ago:
I don’t know if this’ll help, but I find it interesting. Fahrenheit was designed to make creating thermometers easier. You pop your new thermometer into some ice water, call that 32, pop it in your mouth, call that 96 (human body temperature is actually 98.6, but these weren’t the most precise instruments), and then you can just keep dividing the space between them in half until you get 64 degrees.
Obviously Celsius is more scientific and practical in modern times, but I think Fahrenheit is fascinating, if nothing else.

There’s no good reason (except greed) not to just sell the “starter house”.

As a great etymologist once said, “it’s never an acronym.”

This is a game changer that seemingly nobody knows about. I fucking love that button.

Buy an ender 3 if you’re cheap and have plenty of tinker time. Buy something by Bambu if you have cash and want ease of use.
- Comment on Lemmy needs more text posts 8 months ago:
What better discussion platforms are you using? Threaded comments with an upvote system are my ideal for this sort of thing.
- Comment on Disney’s Loki faces backlash over reported use of generative AI / A Loki season 2 poster has been linked to a stock image on Shutterstock that seemingly breaks the platform’s licensing rules regard... 8 months ago:
It’s just the spiraling clock in the background in question, not the Loki stuff.
- Comment on USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible 8 months ago:
If you’re still confused, it’s an apparently universal experience to try to plug in a USB, feel resistance, flip it, feel much more resistance, and then realize you were correct the first time. Hence, three is the magic number.
