- Comment on Is a gooner the same thing as a wanker? 12 hours ago:
To add to your argument: if someone said someone is a wanker, without further context I’d assume they mean they’re an asshole. But if someone called someone a gooner, I’d know immediately that they’re referring to someone obsessed with masturbation.

I think you’d have to look at all the artists works to get an idea. I don’t think you’d be able to formulate any simple rules such as that though…

It was included in both, but it was in 95 first 😅
- Comment on How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them 1 week ago:
OP is trying to do a side hustle and would like lemmy to come up with the details about how to do it (j/k) 😅

But also, this will be based on machine learning “AI” … So basically just police profiling but without the human element …

They’d probably think they won’t make the same mistakes, or that it’s a reasonable trade off.
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 4 weeks ago:
But a kid born into abject poverty in an undeveloped villiage, spends his whole life scraping by in suffering always hungry until succumbing to a slow painful death – no good, no meaning.
But what about if they grow up to become a mob boss or billionaire or supervillian as a result? 😅

Mainly just those two mean it will never be available on any other hardware…

Sounds like they’re intentionally setting the barriers to entry too high for anyone other than Google…

Is it just me or does it seem slightly sus that GrapheneOS is only available for Google hardware…
- Comment on Are display sizes always measured in inches? 2 months ago:
It’s a bit like how in NZ you can order a “pint” of beer, and the bartender will fill up a random size glass around 400~700ml 😅: you can buy a 30" TV, and if you measure the diagonal, it’s around 79-82cm 😅
- Comment on $440 Charge For A Wheel Scuff Raises Questions About Hertz's AI Rental Car Damage Scanner 2 months ago:
Yeah but they’ll lose that business next quarter, and the current shareholders will have already sold thier shares by the time that’s reported so it doesn’t matter.

I think there’s a few options, in order of increasing cost:
- get a really cheap one
- get an older one that uses a defunct connectivity method
- modify one to remove/replace any telemetry modules
- build it yourself from scratch using parts from ali express or similar
- get a shop to build one for you

I don’t know what’s so impressive about the water, looks the same as water in every other 3D game from 1998?

- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 2 months ago:
It depends how broad their “masculine influencer” definition is…
I think whether it actually matters would depend more on if they’re consuming “masculine influencer” content exclusively , without any concept of other world views.

- Comment on European Union Ecodesign Requirements for Smartphones Now in Effect: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back 2 months ago:
a subtle edit resolving a duplicate reference in a way that removes displays from the list of parts that must be replaceable by a layperson with basic tools
That’s fucking significant change, considering probably even more smartphones become ewaste from cracked screens than anything else by a long shot…
