• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah - back in the day A/S/L was asked so you had a rough idea of the type of person you were talking (typing) with…

  37/M/India v 15/F/US would give you a very rough idea of the demographic the other person belonged to - and might shape your conversation differently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨quick health tip⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I see people add milk, I see people add cream - is butter that different?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder if antivax kids are OK getting a cootie shot?⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea why your comment would get removed. You’re entitled to your own opinion and to ask questions… and yes, it was fairly tame. I wouldn’t immediately classify you as an anti-vax lunatic on the strength of what you wrote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wonder if antivax kids are OK getting a cootie shot?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m far more alarmed that people with zero medical or scientific background think they can just wade into debates about vaccinations that they have zero knowledge about… a Facebook post and a quick web search doesn’t equate to a phd and thirty years experience in a specialist field.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple Reportedly Weighs iPhone Price Increase⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I normally get about four years or so out of an iPhone, with heavy and extensive daily use - works out as less than 50 (US) cents a day. I used to pay more for a newspaper.

  I only made the switch when BlackBerry OS10 “failed” and they quit making handsets. I still miss my Z30 though…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK police chiefs call for ban on social media for under-16s⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK police chiefs call for ban on social media for under-16s⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From my own personal view I find it very difficult to disagree with every part of your second sentence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll move on when I’m ready to move on; a’ight? Don’t step up to a public forum, run your mouth, then tell people to fuck off when they call out your myopic world view.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I browse… Twitter, 9gag, 4chan, BlueSky, Lemmy and Mastodon. I find a mixed bag of cunts and diamonds on all of them - and loads of people in between.

  The world is not as black and white as you see it.

  Perhaps you might try sorting the wheat from the chaff next time before you make definitive sweeping statements about various platforms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jesus Fucking Christ man… is this really how you see the world?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My almost five year old piece of under powered apple trash cost me less than 45 US cents a day, still has regular OS updates and works between eight to ten hours most days running my entire life. I might even splurge out and buy a new one if they ever release an overpowered non trash handset…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BACK OFF FELLAS, SHE'S MINE⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If she is in Toronto then smoking weed from a bong is no more illegal than drinking a beer from a glass - if that was your worry about the visible paraphernalia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Zambonis right-side drive in countries that use right-side drive cars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The UK has an ice hockey league - not sure how many natives are in the teams though. Hockey is massive in (parts of) India - but they tend to play the version without ice…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨my dreams in colour⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For their personalities?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI driver: review of Mark Rober's LIDAR showcase⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you.

  I saw it a few days ago. I know the guy from his glitterbomb videos but it was the Roadrunner vibe that really attracted me this time

  I’m no scientist but if you can map space mountain with lidar then… it’s probably better then a camera at identifying physical objects blocking your path. And his short experiment seems to support that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI driver: review of Mark Rober's LIDAR showcase⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The single biggest issue must be that it was just funny / thought provoking content on YouTube - not a groundbreaking thesis being developed in real time.

  However, some apparent shortcomings of the Tezla are probably worth following-up… by far more qualified individuals in a far more formal and peer reviewable environment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Normal people probably don't consider themselves normal.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shout out to all the abnormal people that don’t consider themselves abnormal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why most countries are struggling to shut down 2G.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The “g” stands for generation. So it’s the 5th iteration of the technology versus the 2nd iteration. Whilst there are many improvements (speed, capacity, security etc) there are some negatives. (I believe mainly to do with signal penetration - i.e. getting a signal in basements, stone wall houses, being behind objects etc.)

  Where I’m currently staying I have: 2G, edge, 4G and 5G signals available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're anonymous here because we're all afraid of each other. And that's a lot of fear.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this comment says more about you than it does about me/“us”.

  If you are afraid of random internet users then best of luck with what else life has in store for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do not agree with their political views, but skinheads make pretty nice punk music⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Original skinheads = good kids who generally got on really well with the Jamaican rudeboys. People were generally apolitical but were connected by class (working class) not divided by colour. Eventually created 2-tone music.

  Nazi skinheads = Not remotely friends with rudeboys. Probably see them as sub-human. Haven’t created anything new musically (that I’m aware of).

  Punk = type of music played by both lovely accepting people and terrible scum too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I second this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I deliberately left the “/s” off the post as I was hoping OP would’ve chipped in again with more pearls of wisdom for us.

  It’s not trolling, it’s flaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Glad someone other than Putin had the ball’s to stand up to (him)…”

  It’s not like Donny & JD were the first to stand up to that monstrous megalomaniac.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come one come all, it's time to unblock !conservative@lemmy.world and bring your best memes of conservatives!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is peak US politics. No wonder y’all seem to be so fucked…

  Having said that, best of luck with the community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facepalm on multiple levels⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s the “3rd term” bit specifically that is anti-USian, directly going against the two term limit written in the… constitution (?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retro tech: Using the PSION Series 5 in 2023⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Still use my 5MX a couple of times a year… one of the most amazing pieces of technology I’ve ever owned.

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

  Coolio.

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

  So you can understand up or down but struggle with left and right?

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

  I was trying to be analogous to help you understand… either you don’t want to understand or you’re not willing to understand or… there’s something else going on here.

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

  -7 and -9 are both numbers… but none of them are at zero or above. They are both negative, just by varying degrees.

  Are you referring to yourself as “drag” or is that a typo?
