• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this called?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I really want a poncho/ruana style thing to wear casually, but I just cannot seem to find one with a style that really tickles my fancy. I’ll wrap random blankets around me shawl sans brooch style, but they’re not really the style I’d want to go wear out and about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British soldiers tune radio waves to fry drone swarms for pennies⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I wager the word “radio” also helps. Early 1900s would have had plenty of radio broadcasts being “the thing” going on, so that word probably helps prime the interpretation, even if not used in quite the same way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m normally at least moderately excited for nintendo’s release lineup. This time, though… it’s neat I guess?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Breach. An asymmetric game of 5 v 1 with the 5 heroes working through a dungeon crawl while the 1 enemy sets traps or controls random AI characters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Instead of explaining what you mean, you’re just going to casually suggest they read a roughly 500 page book and hope that clears it up for them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bro how out of touch with your colleagues do you have to be to not know it’s AI. Have you literally never heard someone around you talk about it? No one on TV? You’ve never said it aloud to someone who corrected you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They already have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First-party Switch 2 games—including re-releases—all run either $70 or $80⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, inflation happened, and purchasing power has not grown or stayed the same with it. People can’t afford as much, so rising prices on entertainment are going to sting even more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mostly my penchant for longer passwords in general. I did not plan to swap up strategies for my personal PC login account. Seeing microsoft demand a shorter password than I use almost everywhere else was… not promising.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically. It’s essentially a full-on sentence and last time I looked, Microsoft allowed about half the character length.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use that command partially because Microsoft accounts don’t allow passwords as long as the password I like to use for my PC

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent Hill f has been banned in Australia, and no one knows why⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow I rarely find people who know about When They Cry. Now I’m interested in seeing more about the game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do the Republicans feel about Project 2025 now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  He thinks the president should hire/fire anyone they want, but they dislike the people the president has been choosing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All? Unlikely. But some? A lot harder to say. You’re asking for an opinion-based prediction at this point. I think they’ll probably eventually try to get the most outspoken critics, but I also think that’s a good time to not go silent. You get organized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FCC to get Republican majority and plans to “delete” as many rules as possible⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It already has. I have gotten more spam calls in 2025 than I’ve gotten in the 5 or 10-ish years prior to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on play and replay, it seems to be either Payday 2 or Borderlands 2.

  Payday2, especially if you have tons of builds and DLC, is a fantastic brain-off mob shooter where you can slightly improve/perfect your build and gameplay with each run. For some reason it just works for me.

  Borderlands 2: fun guns; solid story; visuals and mechanics that mostly hold up today. It’s just a good time and another skill-tree builder game where you get to feel like a god if you’ve assembled your skill tree right. The NG+ modes are a bit of a slog, but playthrough 1 is just a solid time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Archivists Recreate Pre-Trump CDC Website, Are Hosting It in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re either beating it back or delaying it. I hope it’s the former, but I fear it’s the latter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is also when I conveniently forget you called, making your preferred method of communication incredibly slow compared to texting.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, they are lucky to have me. Instant access to me via phonecall is not one of the reasons, but that’s fine because they don’t need instant access via phonecall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dauntless is shutting down on May 29, 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Aw. I get why this happens to games, but it’s still sad to see.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been fairly blatant for a while now. Theseig heil is coming out now that they feel they’ve won. The goal is for the US to fall this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s honestly fairly level headed for anyone. Make sure your loved ones aren’t making dramatic and life-altering changes without being sure they want it? Seems reasonable to me. Especially for a topic that is largely a muddled mystery for the average person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord introduces a feature that lets you quietly ignore users without them knowing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even mind the 1 ignored message. At least it gives me slight context that people are replying to something. I hate that it gives me the little “new messages” indicator on chats when it’s only users I have ignored.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner bell is going off⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Occasionally my partner will do that too. I’ve had it happen to me, like, twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell, it can filter out tech people too. I’m a programmer by trade, but I almost dipped on lemmy because the onboarding is confusing enough. Like, I obviously (mostly) figured it out, but I did consider going “eh fuck it” and dipping. The site is ultimately a luxury and not a requirement, so effort or confusion required to get all started up is also something that’ll drive me to consider it not all worth it for some social media I’m not even sure I want to be a part of yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hexbear.net comically loses its domain name⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I need a reminder of what hexbear is about. I recall something… off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Prepares for 'Increase in Threats' to US Editors From Musk and His Allies⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a reason it sounds like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG and Samsung are adding Microsoft’s Copilot AI assistant to their TVs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I should have bought a new tv like 5 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is the big contention point. In a world without a need for jobs, AI would be a neat alternative method of art generation, and a fascinating advancement of technology as a whole…

  but UBI is not yet real and jobs still need to be had. Without some form of life-securement for those who provided the art to be trained off of, we’re just using tech to really fuck people over. It’s definitely a moral grey area - very dark grey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it that clasped hands tends to be the norm for praying? 🙏⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And actions/motions needed to be exaggerated to fully come across.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta is secretly building its own search engine.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is gonna be like the metaverse. It’s gonna get hyped up by all news sources like it’s the next big thing, but nobody will actually care or use it.
