Yes.
- Comment on UK police chiefs call for ban on social media for under-16s 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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.

Jesus Fucking Christ man… is this really how you see the world?
- Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy 2 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 2 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.

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…

For their personalities?
- Comment on AI driver: review of Mark Rober's LIDAR showcase 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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. 1 month 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. 1 month 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. 1 month 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 1 month 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? 1 month ago:
I second this.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month 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.

“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! 1 month 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 1 month 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?
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
Well, right is a term relative to centre which is relative to left.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
Political literacy classes are available online… the idea of anybody thinking Lemmy is right wing (whether it’s code or the majority of its user base) is hilarious and a bit sad at the same time.
- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 2 months ago:
Yeah - I was just pointing out to the USians that it’s only changing in their country. The rest of the world will keep the original name.
- Comment on Gulf of Make a Report to Apple 2 months ago:
Still showing “Gulf of Mexico” on Apple Maps for me as of three seconds ago. I’m not in the US.
- Comment on The English word "four" has 4 letters. Are there any other numbers where the English name for them has that many letters? 2 months ago:
Nice. I like.
