- Comment on Why some people go full grey hair in their 30s? 2 days ago:
Why would you max out credit and mortgage if your job pays well?
Meaning guy is so obsessed with the woman, give all money to her no matter what - at the same time not giving himself any care because no money left for him?
This is not how healthy relationships work. It seems like you’re trying to goad us into some direction when the answer is just very simple: genetics.

Indeed. Really puts things into perspective

oh my god you always do this you always act like winning an argument is the same as being right when in reality all you do is shout louder and hope everyone else gets tired first which is exactly what happened last time when you swore up and down that the moon landing was fake just because you dont trust ladders and think that stepping on the same ground twice in a row opens a government surveillance portal well you know what maybe it does but at least im not out here accusing birds of being deep state operatives just because one looked at you for too long

- Comment on Over 20M 'people' listed as 100+ years old in the SS database? 2 weeks ago:
If you truly think they have our best interest at heart, you’re either willfully ignorant or you got swindled.
There’s no receipts, it’s the equivalent of yanking out server cables before understanding what they were there for. The same thing happened to Twitter.

Who gives a shit about the “smell test”? You are just talking out of your ass, that’s the smell.
LMAO I’m stealing this. And yeah, redut isn’t even from the US (admitted themselves), they are just a populist fanboy.

I like this!

The userbase here is quite technical so there are many of you able to contribute.
As a project manager, I can help by ballooning the scope and setting the deadline to yesterday! Doing my part!
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
Good point. I don’t have all the answers to this predicament, but I think most of us agree that we need to improve on the onboarding experience.

Whatever they think they are saving, they are spending on themselves.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
I agree, but people (read: instance owners) might disagree who gets to be seen up top and who won’t make that cut.
It’s a tough dilemma in itself, I will say. In the end, I think we should move this part of the joining experience until after new users are familar with the software.
So new users land at “lemmy.noob” or something, and when they are ready to spread their wings, they can choose the things I showed above to go and find the right home for them.

Yes, and if you join a German-speaking instance as a non-German speaking user, the experience will also be subpar. Hence I talked about content, not language.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 weeks ago:
If that was a legitimate issue, MMO’s (which also often have servers the player needs to choose) wouldn’t have the userbase they do. Nor would Email have taken off.
But in an MMO, you still get the same content no matter what server you choose. Over here, it directly impacts what content you can interact with based on (de)federation.
- Comment on Onboarding experience needs to be simpler for mass adoption 2 weeks ago:
This keeps coming back from time to time. imo we need an instance or method to sandbox newbies.
My old comment:
A custom feed that allows new members to see a variety of the best that Lemmy has to offer would be a good start. Then, when they are comfortable with the platform and its dynamics, they can customise it further, or swap the newbie feed for their own custom filter (which practically would come down to community subscriptions, I suppose?)
Now instead of making this comment very long, I’ll put in an video game anology to make it a bit more digestible:
What we need is a tutorial area that showcases all the different things that the Lemmy endgame has to offer. Creating memes, sharing news, the art of shitposting, being a lurker, actual discussions vs just scrolling to see the funnies: all these things are enjoyed by different types of people, and before they can reclass and enjoy the wild open world of Lemmy, it would be good for them to get comfortable with the controls and settings in a relative safe space.
- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign releases May 30th 2 weeks ago:
Try opening the article!
The FromSoftware spin-off to its incredibly successful epic will be out on 30th May 2025 across PS4, PS5, Xbox consoles, and PC (Steam).
First revealed at last year’s The Game Awards, Nightreign is a standalone online co-op game for three players, but with hints of Fortnite.
- Comment on Handful of users claim new Nvidia GPUs are melting power cables again 3 weeks ago:
A mini fusion drive, perhaps?
- Comment on Handful of users claim new Nvidia GPUs are melting power cables again 3 weeks ago:
The person on reddit used a third party cable instead of the one supplied with the device.
extremetech.com/…/psa-dont-use-third-party-power-…
www.reddit.com/r/…/rtx_5090fe_molten_12vhpwr/
It melted on both sides (PSU and GPU), which indicates it was probably the cable being the issue.

- Comment on Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games 3 weeks ago:
Haven’t seen a game that uses ads like this, but very good that it’s strictly prohibited now. That shit should never have taken off on mobile, but alas. At least we can prevent it on PC.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Reddit deletes all my accounts for some reason eventually.
Are you going to tell us the reason?
Usually, the type of people on reddit is someone who is incapable of critical thinking and independent thought.
Welcome to the internet. It’s not exclusive to Reddit. Although I’m sure a lot of judgment on people’s critical thinking skills and ability to think freely stems from misunderstanding and not being able to convey enough information about who someone is from a single comment.
- Comment on How can you explain a smell you've never smelled before? 3 weeks ago:
Does the smell change with temperature or airflow? That might give clues as to whether it’s embedded in materials or something in the air itself.

Isn’t that what the local feed is for? All means, well, all.
- Comment on YouTube’s new Discord-like Communities are rolling out to more creators 4 weeks ago:
It’s nothing like Discord. It’s just the ability to create a post to a wall, include images, and have people be able to comment. Then you can filter between posts of the YT creator or the rest.
Discord uses dedicated announcement channels, roles, personalisation, hierarchical permissions and a bunch of external apps to be able to create and sustain a community.
But the biggest difference? Discord is instant chat. This is just YouTube comments with attachments that you can post to the channel instead of a video. Meh.

FWIW, in April 2023 ChatGPT was also blocked for a month over privacy violations, resulting in a €15 million fine.
- Comment on Amazon sued for snarfing sensitive data via advertising SDK 4 weeks ago:
It’s in the URL, so they changed it when they realized it didn’t do too well. Happens a lot with news articles. Based on click rate, one version will be declared the best.
