Don’t forget about the human ability to literally chase an animal until it collapses with exhaustion. Humans are literally the monster from It Follows.
- Comment on Cryptocurrency exchange network accused of helping Russia hit with sanctions. 1 month ago:
Found the cryptobro. Neither of your statements are true. Crypto is absolutely a pyramid scheme, and if you took out the quick ability to convert to USD or other fiat currency, it would collapse.
- Comment on Apple's mobile chips are now made in the U.S. — TSMC produces the older A16 Bionic at its Arizona fab 2 months ago:
Such a sad documentary, especially the self sabotage union votes.
- Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities 3 months ago:
What is the point of this, uh, argument? Since then it’s illegal to be LGBT in Russia, so you’re admitting that Russia sucks now? Agreed!

Wtf are you talking about? Oh, a .ml user. Ok then.

Hey, the badger is still alive and badgering!
- Comment on TSMC Arizona struggles to overcome vast differences between Taiwanese and US work culture 3 months ago:
Yep that’s probably the one. Super depressing, especially all the anti-union tactics.
- Comment on ISPs seeking government handouts try to avoid offering low-cost broadband 3 months ago:
Simple. Let them get government handouts, by being nationalized.

Prompt “make this guy looks like a North Lorean hacker or something idk”
- Comment on Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines 3 months ago:
Don’t worry, if it had broken in Linux, these same posters would be railing on CrowdStrike directly, but since it broke on Windows, onvisoult Microsoft is to blame.
- Comment on Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines 3 months ago:
Keep dreaming. Maybe next year Linux on desktops will increase by another 0.2% and you can post hundreds of articles about how the “age of Linux” is coming… again.
- Comment on Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines 3 months ago:
Ok Russian comrade. Security in companies is terrible. You’re right. It’s just a giant grift.
Now, go buy some limited time offer right fight fight shoes from agent orange.
- Comment on Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour 4 months ago:
Apple Maps sure had a rough start back in the day, but I will always use that over Google/Waze. It’s just so much better now and no worries about this type of junk.

- Comment on Steam Summer Sale - Top Deals 4 months ago:
Not multiplayer, but Green Hell is also fantastic.
- Comment on The Steam Summer Sale is live now! 4 months ago:
Not sure it’s steam deck friendly, but The Talos Pinciple (1 and 2) are both great puzzle games.

Sounds like the Elon Musk flavor of “free speech absolutism”
- Comment on Why are fuel perks at grocery stores so ubiquitous? 5 months ago:
Out of curiosity, do you only pay cash when you’re at a grocery store? If not, all your purchases can be aggregated and a corresponding consumer profile built.
- Comment on Life By You devs spent “a month in purgatory” prior to closure, says laid-off designer, despite their sim-like exceeding Paradox's expectations 5 months ago:
Sad part is that if they had just released the game as “Early Access” and didn’t bullshit so many of the underlying economy simulation aspects, it wouldn’t have been such a disaster.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 6 months ago:
My point is people saying “Spotify doesn’t pay artists enough so just pirate everything” is disingenuous. Nothing about paying for a platform (Spotify, TIDAL, Apple, YouTube, etc.) precludes you from supporting artists through other means as well.
The second point didn’t imply that this is the o ly way to discover music, but it absolutely is an avenue where many people discover new artists.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 6 months ago:
Of course they do, but those suggested options are the same for Spotify users too. I’m not seeing the connection here unless you’re saying Spotify users are less likely to buy merch or tickets. Pirate what you want, but trying to spin the argument this way is just disingenuous.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 6 months ago:
So instead of having the artists make the small per stream income, you suggest they get $0? Buying their releases/merch/tickets is irrelevant to the platform. If anything, the model of these streaming platforms is just further shifting to advertisement for artists to drive people to shows.
- Comment on The Price Is Right: a big ad space where the joy of winning is just a distraction from the true goal - to sell more products. 6 months ago:
I’d much rather have something up front versus a random show scene where someone buys their kid a car, and the dialog totally shifts to what sounds just like a car commercial.
- Comment on Chinese startup launching RISC-V laptop for devs and engineers priced at around $300 6 months ago:
You sound like a tankie. I bet you think the Tik Tok ban is unfair, while staying quiet on any of the dozen+ western companies and platforms that are outright blocked in China.
- Comment on Biden calls Japan and India xenophobic: ‘They don’t want immigrants’ 6 months ago:
Interesting that the site lists “residents” and the. Has Saudi Arabia way up there. I wonder what those numbers would be like if they didn’t count their
slavesforeign workers. - Comment on 30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok 6 months ago:
You say “red scare” as if China isn’t a hostile nation state to the US. Go look at western company penetration in China if you want. Are you calling it “western scare” when China blocks yet another western company? I didn’t think so.
- Comment on Texas Attracted California Techies. Now It’s Losing Thousands of Them. 6 months ago:
Unfortunately, you would still be a blue dot in a sea of red backwater thinking, human rights limiting, crazy religious, and racist people that make up Texas as a whole.
- Comment on Biden expected to sign the TikTok ban on Wed. 6 months ago:
If you think the Chinese government doesn’t have its hand directly up in Tik Tok, you’re absolutely fooling yourself. China has much more direct control over companies, well beyond what the US government has.
- Comment on How In-N-Out Burger’s president runs her fast-food empire: Keep it simple, affordable and close 6 months ago:
Well, obviously tastes differ, but I have yet to see any traditional fast food restaurant have anywhere near the lines and demand that In&Out has. More often then not, the lines are too much and I’ve often given up and gone to other spots when the lines are insane.
Call it hype, but I really think that they are leaps and bounds better than any other chain fast food places.
