• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  not at all arguing this is okay, not even a little

  but

  If you are the French government, and you know what the French populace has a history of doing to the French government, it would be understandable to be a bit paranoid of them, no?

  again. It ain’t cool. But I’m honestly surprised they didn’t hop on the “incredibly intrusive surveillance” bandwagon sooner.

  I believe Quebec already lays claim to that title.

  People are people, so why should it be

  You and I should get along so awfully?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best way to turn off people and get lower tips⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  For this? I’d hit the custom button and put in $0.02, and then tell them exactly why they’re getting that tip. I only get “thank you!” if I double the cost of my order? fuck off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ENHANCE⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I reckon it’s the cleaning.

  I’ve never used contacts because the idea of touching my eye squicks me out (even if it’s something meant to go there, just – no.), but having your eyelids do all the cleaning and never having to worry about them getting dirty or scratched is probably something a lot of people appreciate.

  Me, I’m happy just using a microfiber cloth and being careful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨unless it’s really really funny⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  listen, everything seems really really funny until there’s an FBI agent sitting you down at a table with a printout of it. Tends to suck the humor right out of your shitposting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first-ever ransomware dropped 35 years ago disguised as a floppy sharing 'AIDS Information'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Following several arrests and extraditions, it was concluded that the then-41-year-old Dr. was “mentally unfit to stand trial” by a London psychiatrist, and prior to the trial, had been witnessed wearing condoms on his nose, carrying a cardboard box, and other extremely odd behaviors that diverted him from prison to London’s Mausley Hospital.

  Now, I’m not saying he was normal. But uh… carrying a cardboard box is an “extremely odd behavior”? By that metric, almost anyone could qualify for a cot in the mental ward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, setting up Mullvad too isn’t that hard and compared to a Netflix subscription, it’s paid for itself several times over in the time I’ve had it. But I get that that might not be something your friends are willing to fiddle with.

  That said, we’re on Lemmy, in the technology community – I’m reasonably confident that almost everyone here who is going to read your comment has the skills necessary to setup Mullvad and Plex; if not the entire *arr suite, a NAS, and Jellyfin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or, even better, stop giving them your money and get Plex or Jellyfin and return to the seven seas.

  Mint is the distro of choice for people who want to work on their computer, not work on their computer.

  Like I’m glad for all the nerds who change distros as often as they change pairs of pants, but some of us only want to have a computer that just works and doesn’t give us shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah nah, I have a Steam Deck, and it’s literally just a PC in the form factor of a Switch. It has a BIOS menu, you can install Windows on it (but you really shouldn’t), you can install a different flavor of Linux (I recommend Bazzite) – it’s like any other PC, just merged with a controller. I’m even able to install and play pirated Windows games through Proton, more or less fine, though you have to work for it a bit more.

  and just to gush a bit more: the Deck is the only thing I can remember pre-ordering in the last 10 years and being genuinely happy that I did.

  y’know, when people started getting snippy about pronouns, I often said I was just going to start calling them an “it”.

  I never thought someone would want that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civilization VI: Just another knowledge check 4X game⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want a really good 4X game, try Stellaris. It’s where I went after 1000+ hours of Civ 5 (and coming to Civ 6 to be disappointed by it, played only like 80 hours), and I’ve been terrorizing liberating the galaxy ever since. I especially like the additional nuances to diplomacy, which are further enhanced by mods – Civ’s AI has always been a bit ham-fisted.
