- Comment on Anyone able to shed some light on iMessage RCS support and MVNOs? 3 weeks ago:
If people from Mint are saying it’s on their end why wouldn’t you believe them?
You’re not owed the technical details. If you want to encourage/pressure them, contact Mint support. They’ve already said that it’s a priority.
You can use RCS to message anyone on a carrier that supports it for their device from a carrier that supports it as long as you both have it enabled. There is a setting on your phone to turn it on. Consult the documentation for your carrier/device.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 3 weeks ago:
But, it also means we get Sam Altman as the next Elon Musk if he cashes in before the pop. And whatever other tech bros do the same. More filthy-rich men with the emotional maturity of a 12 year old.
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 3 weeks ago:
Except the rapid real estate inflation started years before COVID. WFH may play a part but it’s hardly a major reason.
- Comment on Please be patient. 3 weeks ago:
I’m going to have to modify my juicer.
- Comment on Please be patient. 3 weeks ago:
Maybe, because we can measure the number of protons and neutrons with an ion accelerator? I don’t know if the something similar can be done with electrons.
- Comment on Please be patient. 3 weeks ago:
So, if route all of the electricity in my house through my body, how far can I travel in time? What about a car battery’s worth?
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 4 weeks ago:
I have the instance blocked. Nice thing about Lemmy, you can vote with your attention. When toxic bubbles pop up, you can ignore them en masse. Any collateral blocking doesn’t bother me. [insert Nazi party meme]
- Comment on Subnautica 2 arrives in Early Access in 2025 with 4 player co-op 4 weeks ago:
Both previous games definitely had MacOS ports or I’ve been hallucinating for hours in front of my computer monitor. They also had Switch and PlayStation ports.
- Comment on Subnautica 2 arrives in Early Access in 2025 with 4 player co-op 4 weeks ago:
Are MacOS and Linux ports confirmed? So far, it just says Xbox and (Windows) PC.

It always had babies and children, they’ve added graphics for them now.
- Comment on Nancy Pelosi's husband sold more than $500K in Visa stock ahead of DOJ action 1 month ago:
The sale was on July 1–almost 3 months ago— and the price was lower than on the day the lawsuit was announced.
- Comment on Favoirte indepth youtube channels? 1 month ago:
I really like what they do but mostly find them unlistenable. If you don’t enjoy listening to people just chatting and making lots of—often bad—jokes in the middle of the narrative, this podcast is not for you.
If you don’t mind that, they do a great job of deep diving into the history of despicable people.
- Comment on Self study; Changing my own Biology Successfully 1 month ago:
You’d be better off just writing straight up fiction. Try short stories before diving into novels.
I suggest reading Kafka and Cortazar for more inspiration.

Don’t bother, Meta’s Metaverse is going to blow it away! ~/s~
- Comment on Eve Frontier is a survival game spin-off of Eve Online and, yup, it's full of blockchain bullshit 2 months ago:
So, it’s Roblox for people who like spreadsheets, NFTs and spaceships?

Phones are becoming the new wallets…
Now I want a phone case with a chain that attaches to my belt.
- Comment on Mudita Kompakt - E-ink (truly) dumbphone with FOSS OS. 2 months ago:
That’s not a dumbphone. It has email, a camera, an e-reader and , looks like, a few other apps.
- Comment on Minecraft creators are already trying to fix the Minecraft movie 2 months ago:
I think they looked at Sonic and said, “we just to release a teaser that looks like shit then we improve that graphics a bit and people will be impressed and forgive shitty storytelling.”
- Comment on Leaked Disney+ financials may shed light on recent price hike 2 months ago:
No, they can’t. I’m not saying they aren’t full of shit but they have to look at how much they could get from Netflix/Apple or whoever and calculate the opportunity cost of licensing vs running their own service. They’ll want to factor in control, branding, etc., etc.
They’re greedy fuckers trying to maximize their bloodsucking…errr…profits.
When they hit a subscription price that loses enough subscribers to make licensing appealing they’ll either lower the price or license the content.
As long as people will pay enough to make running their own service the most profitable option, that’s what they’ll do. And they’ll squeeze subscribers to their breaking point.
- Comment on Why I Haven't Seen Any Trump Supporters In Fediverse (Lemmy and Mastodon)? 2 months ago:
In addition to the other points made, not nearly as many people use Lemmy so it’s not as much of a target for bots.
The alt-right/Trump content on sites like Reddit and Twitter is amplified out of proportion by bots.
- Comment on Apple stands by decision to terminate account belonging to WWDC student winner | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
This isn’t a “big bad Apple” story.
Just one review of the app from the article:
“I bought this to get what looks like a Rolex watch face … it’s not a face it’s just a picture … hands don’t even move,” wrote one customer. “Does this company have permission from Rolex to do this? I took it they did but I doubt it. Pure scam to get money from people. I want a refund it’s not acceptable. I will also report to Rolex and see if they do anything.”
It also sounds like they may have been faking reviews and other shenanigans.
- Comment on Doctors Remove Woman’s Brain Implant Against Her Will 2 months ago:
Sounds like she was in a trial so probably didn’t pay for it and doesn’t own it.
It’s still kind of fucked up that she has to have surgery to remove it but she probably agreed to these terms before it was installed.
- Comment on Why don't humans have paw feet? 3 months ago:
Trees. We went into the trees before we came back down and walked on two feet.

Thanks for trying. 😜
Hopefully, someone with the blue check mark, or whatever it is, will step up.
- Comment on X’s new AI image generator will make anything from Taylor Swift in lingerie to Kamala Harris with a gun 3 months ago:
Just make a bunch of trans Elon images and see how fast guardrails get put up.

Twitch/Yotube are the new churches, hunting grounds for groomers and abusers.
