- Comment on Best printer 2024: a humorous critique of the Google search engine and printer enshittification 7 months ago:
From the title and picture, I thought this was some weird diss on the depicted Brother laser printer and stopped by to defend it. Fortunately it is, instead, tauting the superiority of Brother laser printers.
I own the depicted printer, or one very close to it, and it is a workhorse. Brother laser printers are the way.

None of that wimpy and watered-down regular bleach, though. Go for the liquid chlorine used in pools, it’s typically about twice as strong. You can get it at Walmart (or Lowes} when it is in-season.

No, I still see it. Not sure why, maybe because I commented on it.
I’ve had several comments behave the same way, unable to actually delete them, even after waiting a while for the delete to propagate.

No need to be so defensive… unless you you the F-Droid team they are writing about. Are you?
Either way it is just whataboutism aimed at a strawman. No one is saying proprietary software is better.

Reading comprehension is important. As is a highschool level understanding of how our legal system works.

Lemmy now has export/import for settings, including blocklist.

You know, we also have a very sturdily built Brother sewing machine as well and I never noticed that they’re the same company that made our printer.

How am I to tell who is a tankie, vs a wumao, vs a Russian troll? It can be hard to tell who is commenting in good faith.
I’m kidding, of course. I just block them all. No one using these talking points is worth my time.

Gotta love tankies unironically parroting Putin’s disinformation.

its pretty clear. You’re conversing with a tankie.
- Comment on Scientific Journals Are Publishing Papers With AI-Generated Text 8 months ago:
As an outsider with a researcher PhD in the family, I suspect its an issue of how the institutions measure success. How many paper? how many cites? Other metrics might work, but probably not as broadly. I assume they will also care about the size of your staff, how much grant money you get, patents held, etc.
I suspect that, short of a Nobel prize, it is difficult to objectively measure how one is advancing scientific progress (without a PhD committee to evaluate it.)

More important question for many: what is the oldest MacOS with xcode support (and therefore oldest I can run brew on)? I keep meaning to figure this out.

So? He stays pretty busy with Solid / Inrupt and his other advocacy (e.g., the OP article…)
Perhaps he sees the personal blog format as a bit egotistical. Its not as if he’s shy about sharing his thoughts outside that.

Always funny to see the memes show up here a week after I get sent them from friends who still use Facebook and Fark.

My candidate may not win, but damnit they will count my vote and know that I dissent.
Which is the same exact reason I vote third party despite them mostly not winning.

Statcounter says it gets its desktop operating system (OS) usage stats from tracking code installed on over 1.5 million global websites generating over 5 billion monthly page views.
So… because I am blocking and all trackers, I won’t count towards this at all. Presumably the same is true of many Lemmy users.

This US-centric view that this worldwide outage is automatically due to US politics is just ridiculous, and you should be embarrassed.
I should be embarrassed that another commenter thinks its related to the elections? Why? It wasn’t my idea and my only mention of it was to say I think it unlikely. Go be churlish somewhere else. I’ll longer see your replies.

You dont think who becomes POTUS will effect your country? You’ve blasted right past being a curmudgeon who doesn’t like the US and moved into the territory of troll.
IMO, it is a stretch to claim elections as the motive for this outage, but pretending you are entirely aloof and unaffected by US presidential elections is absurd. We get it, you hate the US.
