  I watched and enjoyed that one yesterday, and he’s bang on the money. People here are saying “well it’s EoL” but that means it’s got all the way through development and its full lifetime with such a prominent set of bugs.

  I don’t think I’ll be buying D-Link if that’s what supported means.

  makes sense or is reasonable

  That’s getting less and less relevant every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reporters Without Borders sues X⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a bit stilted and no-one would speak like that (at least without sounding pretentious), but it’s not bad grammar.

  Also, shame on the moron that downvoted you for asking a question.

  I was interested to see that there’s an unexplained dip in battery visible on the status page:

  I wondered if it was due to a lot of traffic (bots/DDOS/Slashdot effect) but then I noticed it’s behind Cloudflare (cheating a bit, surely?).

  What’s going on with the kerning?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Character.ai Faces Lawsuit After Teen’s Suicide⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a lie, unless you know something the article doesn’t mention. The quoted chat log shows the character acting horrified and arguing against it.

  I’d heard this as a plumber who knocked a pipe with a spanner.

  I guess not!

  Yup, and with @notthebees’ idea of taking photos as a backup you’ve got what you need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosted sticker chat?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Having a computer-based one that’s the source of truth (and perhaps accessible online) does make sense, although I suspect this is too niche to exist already.

  I know these are famous last words, but this doesn’t sound too difficult to knock up yourself, assuming you know kung-fu coding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My friend's reaction when he invites me to a bar and I order a root beer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds awful. I hear that if you drink enough of it, you begin to like it, but how can you get to that point?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simple but modern website⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It turns out that people on Lemmy are no better responsibly using a downvote button than anywhere else. I think you should have to at least select a reason why you’re downvoting to add some friction - maybe options something like “I don’t like this”, “I disagree”, “This is factually incorrect”, “Spam”, “Abusive language”, etc. Then you can filter out the first two!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Your server owner is now banned from participating on lemmy's Github⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is ridiculously petty from the devs, and does make me seriously wonder about Lemmy’s future.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are exactly two types of Star Trek fans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m the Worf kind. I suspect that for us non-USA types it’s pretty one-sided.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some underrated instances of the Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, the software is patched to not allow e in usernames or posts (apart from in URLs). Expressing yourself without using any word involving e is a fun challenge, and often you think you succeeded until the validation tells you off.

  It took me longer than I’d care to admit to get this yoke.

  oulipo.social is a custom Mastodon that forbids that fifth alphanum symbol in its toots. That is, using a,b,c,d is ok and any of f,g,h up to z is also ok and also digits and punctuation but that’s all.

  This post would pass its validation.
