I don’t know why but I really don’t like tuna steak, but tuna sushi I’m fine with. Maybe I just haven’t had a good tuna steak
- Comment on Every new car park may have to be covered with solar panels [UK] | Solar canopies would be compulsory under proposals estimated to save £28,000 on electricity bills at an 80-space car park 2 weeks ago:
Financially, you can save money per year on electricity, but it means you’d have to pay an upfront for installation. Which probably maths out as a very long term investment that companies hate.
- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 3 weeks ago:
In a better universe apex and tf3 could have existed at the same time
Unfortunately we live in the universe where games as a live service is the only model that big companies run on, which means all resources must go to just that one game
- Comment on List of Alternatives to Adobe Programs 3 weeks ago:
Neat list, but imo photoshop is closer to being called a photomanipulation/image editor than photography. lightroom is the more dedicated photography software.
Also I wouldn’t call paint.net an alternative to photoshop. I love paint.net but its a relatively simple image editor and its functionally limited even with plugins.
- Comment on Although i love it 3 weeks ago:
Stir fried asian cauliflower is so good. My mom made it a lot growing up and it’s the right amount of crunch and flavor
I don’t know if you could substitute asian cauliflower with the more western variants though.
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 3 weeks ago:
You just made me look it up and apparently they canceled it when I heard about it
So nvm discord is doomed LOL They’re purely running on vc money and sooner or later this company will explode
- Comment on Discord CEO steps down, replaced with former Activision Blizzard CSO as they work towards being a public company 4 weeks ago:
Discord is never going to be profitable lmao
It can be a loss leader for microsoft, but at the end of the day, discord will always lose money. The operational cost of discord is way too high
This change just means more enshittification like with every ceo change.
Honestly they should just go full on points shops for spending money on xbox, like steam. Give out points to use for customization. That way they could at least make some incentive to use xbox and probably boost sales.
- Comment on Believe It Or Not, Black Licorice 4 weeks ago:
I really like Darrell’s licorice
Kinda expensive though and really hard to not eat the whole bag

Give it a month or so until tariffs are fully incorporated into daily costs
Then we’re in for a ride
- Comment on Does a tiny motion tracking mouse thing exist at all? 1 month ago:
Look at youtube for guides on customizing your mouse
You’d prob want to sand the mouse to let the primer adhere better, and go with small coats.
A outer protective coat after would prob work wonders since your finger oils will mess up raw paint fast
Disassembly is actually really easy for mouses so you can spray paint pieces individually, or at least just the shell

Anyone ever try the windshield resin kits? I also have a couple of knicks but am a little lazy to repair it, especially since idk how the resin will look.
- Comment on Papua New Guinea shuts down Facebook in test to stop 'pornography, misinformation, hate speech' 1 month ago:
Youtube is not all bad. The algorithm is, but the vast amount of content on it means that theres some genuinely helpful stuff. Videos about repair and fixing, educational videos on any subject in the world, videos about acceptance and self love
There’s no hope for facebook though, except the not so facebook marketplace (im gonna need a resurgence in like craigslist for that)
- Comment on Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this 1 month ago:
Also super cheap. I think last time i bought 50 for 6 usd and Im still using that box
- Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes? 1 month ago:
Shoes are pretty easy to guesstimate for US sizes if you have average feet (width being the biggest reason this fails). Men size is basically women size plus 1.5. This doesn’t work if you have a large foot size though, since women’s dont go up to the same max as men’s
Clothes are 100% a pain. Especially online shopping
- Comment on Kagi search engine now has a Fediverse search option. 2 months ago:
Does anyone else’s search on lemmy actually work as expected? I feel like it never finds anything really relevant. I can search for audio interfaces for example and all the first results are about software in general and not actually the hardware component.
- Comment on The situation got so bad that actuall news overtook memes in top posts on Lemmy 2 months ago:
Bad press would work if there were consequences like forcing the CEO to step down
Unfortunately in today’s world corporations and their ceos can get away with almost everything
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 2 months ago:
I legit used car polish once to clean my electric glass stovetop
Works fine as long as you work it by hand and wipe the residue off with a wet rag
- Comment on The situation got so bad that actuall news overtook memes in top posts on Lemmy 2 months ago:
Feels like it’s been that way since the election to be honest
Lemmy has always been a political outlet, but post election has been out of hands.

I don’t know about Japanese curry with cheese but it sounds pretty good
I really like saag paneer which is like an Indian curry with firm cheese blocks
- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype 2 months ago:
I was going to say it couldn’t have been a decade but then I realized the last time I used Skype was about 2015 2016…
- Comment on braaiinnss 2 months ago:
Does that mean all the wojaks actually came from some source materials? Oh god
- Comment on Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service 2 months ago:
That sounds more like free advertisement for Signal
“Our product is banned on twitter!”
- Comment on Autoplay videos are cancer to me 3 months ago:
Youtube enhancer can hide shorts or convert them to video layout instead
I use the latter because i watch food shorts but with the comfort of actual youtube ui
- Comment on I'll show them 3 months ago:
The only ads Ive watched in the past year were ads from flex seal and tim henson, and those were technically just videos.
If ads were like that I wouldnt mind them as much
- Comment on 'Bomb Cyclone' Becomes One Of The Northeast Pacific's Strongest On Record As It Hammers West Coast 5 months ago:
My area got hit while I was out on a business trip, so I guess I’m coming back to spoiled food since I got the message saying there was no electricity
- Comment on America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues 5 months ago:
Probably meant that’s, or at least I read it that way
- Comment on Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old? 6 months ago:
Just because people don’t like a certain food doesnt mean their taste buds have a problem. Liking food is all subjective, that’s what it means to be human
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 6 months ago:
At least it does mean your cat can never turn off your pc ever again with this
- Comment on For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream? 6 months ago:
Depends on the desalination method. If there’s no added chemicals, or if they removed them prior, I’d assume it’s feasible. After all, ancient times used to just evaporate seawater and get salt from it.
It might just be an economic problem. Questions such as where are you going to get land for creating huge evaporation pools, is it worth the yield of table salt, etc.
- Comment on For states on the coast with excess solar energy why don't they invest in water desalination and pump that water back upstream? 6 months ago:
Just one short trip… I just need a bit of nickel
