The image is boobs, that happen to look like spiderman, and the bad news is that you’re a nerd or something idk

Neovim is basically just vim with easier extension creation. It’s pretty good for a terminal editor. If you don’t already like vim you may not really enjoy nvim, it’s more of a lifestyle than a text editor.
- Comment on Nintendo seeks default judgement and $17,500 in damages from pirated game streamer who ignored court summons 5 days ago:
Nintendo continues to demonstrate why my personal boycott continues. What a shitty company.
- Comment on Google is killing privacy sandbox in Chrome. 5 days ago:
How dare you think Google would listen to its users and not the advertisers. Fr though I’m not sure, manifest v3 does use a sandboxing feature but it’s unclear at first glance if they are directly related
- Comment on Airbnb will now show users the total cost of their stay right away 6 days ago:
For large groups I suppose airbnbs are more reasonable, though it’s honestly not that big of a difference in pricing for vacation rentals.
Housekeeping is easy, just put the little do not disturb sign up, they won’t bug you.
I don’t have an opinion on the other stuff though.
- Comment on Airbnb will now show users the total cost of their stay right away 6 days ago:
5 years too late, hotels have been cheaper and better for a while now. All of these companies that touted revolutionizing industries have just become worse versions.
Netflix, airbnb, uber, etc all of them are worse for people than the things they replaced

What other things, specifically?

Its duty?!
The US has no mandate to meddle in international affairs, any more than a bully in grade school has a duty to stop smaller bullies from picking on their own victims.
The US has never been an international savior, it’s the only country in the world to have dropped nuclear bombs on civilians.
- Comment on China has stopped exporting rare earths to everyone, not just the U.S., cutting off critical materials for tech, autos, aerospace, and defense 1 week ago:
Contrary to their name, rare earth metals are not rare
- Comment on How do you answer the question "What's new with you?" when nothing happens in your life? 3 weeks ago:
Things do happen in your life, nobody lives in a vacuum. You are alive and are experiencing things every day including the stuff that’s happening to all of us. Recent economic news, political drama, geopolitical events, etc are all fair game
I used to think nothing happened in my life then I started to keep a diary/journal and realized that a ton happens all the time!

- Comment on Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End 5 weeks ago:
Unit tests and good architecture are still foundational requirements, so far no bug reports with any of these updates. In fact a huge chunk of these ai updates were addressing bugs. Not sure why you’re so mad at what you imagine is happening and making so many broad assumptions!
- Comment on Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End 5 weeks ago:
They’re all pretty fired up at the update velocity tbh 🤷
- Comment on Majority of AI Researchers Say Tech Industry Is Pouring Billions Into a Dead End 5 weeks ago:
Nah, generative ai is pretty remarkably useful for software development. I’ve written dozens of product updates with tools like claudecode and cursorai, dismissing it as a novelty is reductive and straight up incorrect

Logic and love don’t really mix well, life is a bit fuller when you embrace love and let yourself feel vulnerable even if you know it will end in tragedy
- Comment on $16bn health agency managed finances with Excel spreadsheet. 1 month ago:
Honestly, that’s fine. This may be a wild take, but they grew and their usage of excel obviously didn’t hold them back, what’s the issue?
- Comment on How do we know this is actually Earth, and not just some torture chamber in Hell and we are just being punished? 2 months ago:
We don’t, but it also doesn’t matter.
- Comment on Getting a Steam Deck to emulate retro games? 2 months ago:
That’s probably one of the most common use cases for the Steam deck, I’ve played a ton of emulated games and had a great time. Its far from perfect, especially for newer consoles, but pretty much anything GameCube and below is at least runnable
Archive.org is the best source of safe roms, who knows how long that will last though

He “slammed” it, did he?
- Comment on How do you express romantic interest in someone? 2 months ago:
I’ve always assumed this is something that comes naturally, when I’m into someone I take a deep interest in then, ask then questions about their passion, follow up and remember when they tell me things, try to spend time together either in a group or solo, look at them, talk to them eventually about my interest.
There’s no formula and it isn’t some mystical ritual or anything, just treat them well, smile at them, look at them, touch them appropriately and with consent, be engaged and interested in who they are. Don’t fall into the trap of feeling like all members of the opposite sex are a unified being, every person is different and the opposite sex is made up of people just like you, maybe with different bits if you subscribe to that type of gender identity.
- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 2 months ago:
Life has no point, you’re just energy given form (literally, not metaphorically or superstitiously or some shit, mass and energy are the same thing)
Hedonism is easy to fall into, and arguably fine, if you don’t find life worth living but can’t muster the enthusiasm to end it, you should try to change your environment.
For me, life is worth living for stories, I love books and the experience of being something different for a time. I have built my life around lazy evenings on the sofa with my cat on my lap reading a book, or playing a comfortable game, nothing else matters to me at all. It’s easy to be content if your requirements are minimal.
Life is an odd phenomenon, we’re blessed or cursed with consciousness, may as well do something you enjoy. If you don’t know what you enjoy then try more stuff.
- Comment on ‘By humans, for humans’: French dubbing industry speaks out against AI threat. 2 months ago:
I wonder if we’ll start seeing labels like that on a lot of media, books, voice overs, movies, tv shows, youtubers, etc
It could be worth making some sort of certification, certified AI free like free range eggs

Assuming you already own a home, and the stock market stonks upward forever, yeah. Otherwise you’re renting and in 30 years when rent is 15k/month you’re outta luck.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
A million dollars doesn’t really change your life much, the biggest difference is probably owning a home or having more money invested, but you’re still going to have to work.
- Comment on Who here does NOT have intrusive thoughts? 2 months ago:
It’s pretty rare for me to think of things I’m not keen on thinking about, redirection is the key. Treat your brain like a toddler trying to touch the stove, saying no doesn’t work, you have to give both something interesting to distract them.
- Comment on Defaults are crucial for good UX and getting more users on the Fediverse 2 months ago:
Default instances would go a long way, I know there’s a lot of hate for lemmy.world but defaulting to the biggest instance or a random one in the top 10 would help ease some of the early friction. Users can choose an instance later when they get more comfortable with the platform.
Federation is neat but the average person just wants to scroll and chat
- Comment on I would let a chip be installed in my brain if it would allow me to erase memories of the games I have played to play them again as the first time. 2 months ago:
I just want to be in a post capitalism society with incredible AI that I could ask to continue a game I’d played before with a twist.
Give me pokemon red in 3d, but make more puzzles and more pokemon and the npcs more interactive. That kinda thing
