- Comment on Students’ Leaf Blower Suppressor To Hit Retail 5 weeks ago:
I get what you’re saying, but leaf blowers are also commonly used for cleaning up extra grass clippings from the roads, etc.
- Comment on Elon Musk laid off the Tesla Supercharger team; now he’s rehiring them 1 month ago:
I’d go back if the pay bump was enough to cover anxiety about job uncertainty
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 1 month ago:
Is electric pricey where you are? It’s been a while since I calculated, but last I checked, electric was cheaper in my area than gas for most of the electric vehicles.
- Comment on Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works 1 month ago:
Hey, every now and then kids have amazing ideas that get shot down by adults with no imagination.
- Comment on Gen Z mostly doesn't care if influencers are actual humans, new study shows 1 month ago:
It feels like a weird study. I can’t tell if the study, or just the article, was trying to make GenZ look like fools yet again, when the actual results found are “GenZ is like a lot of other people in yet another way”.
- Comment on Gen Z mostly doesn't care if influencers are actual humans, new study shows 1 month ago:
I suspect a lot of the influencer numbers are pretty inflated.
- Comment on Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works 1 month ago:
You came up with the idea of a multi-directional treadmill, or came up with the implementation using spinning/tilting disks?
- Comment on Here’s How That Disney 360° Treadmill Works 1 month ago:
It doesn’t grind anything basically the same way a treadmill doesn’t sand anything. You’re not forcing anything to stay put on the surface, you’re maneuvering on the surface while the surface is counter-moving you.
- Comment on Judge mulls sanctions over Google’s “shocking” destruction of internal chats 1 month ago:
I wager they’re so used to getting away with shit that destroying evidence probably says less about the crimes committed and more about the piss-poor justice system.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 month ago:
I’ve had similar experiences. Never posted questions myself, but I’ll be Googling for help and find forum posts that are as toxic as you describe.
It’s been bad enough that the Linux elitism on Lemmy leaves a bad taste, even if I haven’t seen as much of the toxic parts here. I know I’m not the only person of my friends group that feels this way about Lemmy’s Linux crowd.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 1 month ago:
Win 11 has a bunch of new small frustrations without anything crazy good that makes me want to recommend it over 10. It’s… Just really unclear what benefits I’m actually getting from 11.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 1 month ago:
Ultra-right wing groups slowly taking over various branches of the government because roughly 30% of the population will always vote for them, no matter what.
- Comment on Stop Using Your Face or Thumb to Unlock Your Phone 1 month ago:
Yeah, but I want a combo that force starts the feature. I want to pull out my phone and be able to blind start it, not stare at my screen to select the correct thing.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 1 month ago:
I would just keep working. UBI should be unlocking the ability for us to pursue our passions, hobbies, and mental/physical health. If I just gotta work anyways, I choose my current job.
- Comment on No Tech for Apartheid: Google Workers Arrested for Protesting Company’s $1.2B Contract with Israel 2 months ago:
Yeah, of all the things google has done, rewrite “don’t be evil” is really not one of them. Didn’t their parent company also pick up the motto as well?
- Comment on Is there a more politically and ideologically diverse alternative for Lemmy? 2 months ago:
Yes, kinda. It’s a go-to for white nationalist types to complain about a lack of diversity in opinions when they really mean they’re mad everyone hates bigotry. They feel that all conversation is biased simply because the people don’t seem to want to be haters as much as they are. So it’s not really that they want more diversity, it’s that they want the conversations to be diverse enough to accept their views.
- Comment on VPN by Google One is shutting down for good 2 months ago:
For sure. I no longer buy into new Google products because they’re going to die. It also makes it hard to recommend anything Google. They’re literally killing their ability to expand by constantly doing this.
- Comment on Does anyone speak hairdresser? I need help communicating. 2 months ago:
I usually clarify that it’s been a very long time and I want it all gone.
- Comment on Google might make users pay for AI features in search results 2 months ago:
Oh thank god, I’ll be able to avoid seeing it by just not paying.
- Comment on The FTC isn’t too happy with Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard layoffs 4 months ago:
And yet
- Comment on If a question is downvoted on !nostupidquestions, is the question too stupid or was it not stupid enough? 4 months ago:
The asklemmy ones are the annoying ones. It’s less a question and more a conversation starter
- Comment on AI fraud act could outlaw parodies, political cartoons, and more 5 months ago:
It’s a gimmick to give the law a recognizable name, usually related to the content of the law itself. It’s caught on here and just kinda stuck.
- Comment on Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off 5 months ago:
Literally the debate is happening because games and media have vanished… including Ubisoft games!
- Comment on Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button? 5 months ago:
I’ve also assumed the same. There’s no way it’s a rare enough edge case not to be impactful
- Comment on Google confirms it just laid off around a thousand employees 5 months ago:
Big corps keep cutting people, small jobs can’t keep a consistent roster. Everything is good…
- Comment on RIPE, Regional Internet Registry, hacked because an admin account's password was ripeadmin 5 months ago:
I think we’ll have moved on to hunter3 by then.
- Comment on The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January 5 months ago:
Yeah, my guess is that it’s the lack of a front grill that makes them look goofy to people. You’ll get used to it.
- Comment on Over 50 per cent of users may shun social media by 2025 as misinformation, toxicity grow 5 months ago:
I’m somewhat surprised to hear it’d be as high as 50%. Pleased, but surprised.
- Comment on Stackoverflow Mod proposes prohibiting questions from being closed as duplicates to catch-all questions 5 months ago:
Sounds like they’re taking efforts to fix this like 5-10 years too late.
- Comment on As ChatGPT gets “lazy,” people test “winter break hypothesis” as the cause 6 months ago:
Huh. I would not have expected the time of year to be part of the input prompts.
