- Comment on A truck bed with a tonneau over it is just an SUV trunk with extra steps. 2 days ago:
A tonneau cover just straight across the sides of the truck bed. A canopy (I’ve also seen “cap”) would be more like an SUV.
- Comment on Would I sound taller if I gave my height as 6'-4"? 2 days ago:
Do it like people do with the time: e.g. 8:45 => quarter to 9.

- Comment on Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up] 6 days ago:
Bonus: if you have multiple gamers in your household, Steam family sharing can really shine compared to having multiple Gamepass subscriptions.
- Comment on Updates to Xbox Game Pass: Introducing Essential, Premium, and Ultimate Plans - Xbox Wire [prices going up] 6 days ago:
Game Pass is (was?) good for some gameplay patterns and bad for others.
It doesn’t fit my preferences, but I can see why it is appealing to others.

We all knew enshittification was coming, but it spooled up faster than expected.
- Comment on BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said America could dodge a ‘retirement crisis’ by encouraging people to work longer 1 week ago:
How does technological unemployment (e.g. AI replacing jobs) factor into this?
- Comment on Nova Launcher, one of the most popular Android home screen replacements, is basically dead 3 weeks ago:
Stupid question, but I’ve never used any of the Android launchers: what are people using them for? What do they do that makes them worth using over the stock interface?
- Comment on Nepal bans social media(Facebook, X, Reddit, Mastodon, Discord, Signal, YouTube and more) for failing to register with the government; Only 7 to be open(Viber, TikTok, Telegram and more) 4 weeks ago:
Oh, yeah I know that sites can be blocked easily enough. My comment was more about whether specific apps are needed. For example, I rarely put apps for specific websites on my phone and instead just use the browser. Cuts way down on ads and other bullshit.

Not familiar with the other examples, but Lemmy doesn’t need an app. Can get to it via browser. Maybe the others need one?
- Comment on YSK that in several US States, it's illegal to boycott Israel 4 weeks ago:
Boycott and just be quiet about it
- Comment on YSK that in several US States, it's illegal to boycott Israel 4 weeks ago:
Considering that they have rigged consumer devices to explode, I think boycotting them is a very wise decision.
- Comment on Beyond Beef? Impossible Beef? I Can't Believe It's Not Beef? 1 month ago:
Impossible is pretty good, but yeah I stay away from Beyond. It ain’t it.
- Comment on 50 mph man 1 month ago:
It’s like those old cartoons where they would try to “sleep faster”. The cue was the faster breathing cycles.

How pendulous
- Comment on A handful of people are slowly killing over 8 billion people, but we're expected to sit idly by and let it happen 1 month ago:
The best thing that the average person can do is to stop reproducing. No, it won’t save the planet or anything. But will prevent them from being victimized.
- Comment on Researchers quietly planned a test to dim sunlight. They wanted to ‘avoid scaring’ the public. 2 months ago:
Matrix or Snowpiercer?
- Comment on The UN demands censorship of the Internet, "we need to take global action" 2 months ago:
2400bps modem
series of screeches
- Comment on AI is 'breaking' entry-level jobs that Gen Z workers need to launch careers, LinkedIn exec warns 2 months ago:
Same energy as “Looking for entry-level employees with 10 years of experience”
- Comment on Warren Buffett Said Buying 'Distressed' Homes With 30-Year Mortgages And Renting Them Out Might Be The 'Most Attractive' Investment Available 2 months ago:
No thanks, not interested in starting a small business renting residential real estate.
- Comment on What will the AI revolution mean for the global south? 2 months ago:
More technological stratification = more divide between the haves and the have nots. This applies both between nations but also between the various socioeconomic classes within nations. IOW, the rich will continue to get richer at the expense of everyone else.

Yabbut somebody think of the car companies!!!
- Comment on Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter 2 months ago:
Descent was ahead of its time. Are there any modern games that are similar?
- Comment on It bothers me when cat memes refer to the pictured cat as "he," but I can tell from its coat pattern that it's female. I may know too much about cats. 2 months ago:
Tortoiseshell and calico? Not sure of any others
- Comment on Everything is a problem 2 months ago:
There was a recent update for Fallout 4 which broke a bunch of mods. Fallout 4 was released in 2015 and is a single-player game. Why did it get an update?
- Comment on Everything is a problem 2 months ago:
Tough to find phones that still have a jack. USB headphones or a dongle?
- Comment on Everything is a problem 2 months ago:
I think they are saying to just not connect whatever. E.g. buy the smart TV and don’t connect it to the internet.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I always liked the concept of Matrix, and still actively use it, but there’s some serious jank.
I use Element as well as Beeper, which is at its core an Element client based on network bridging. I’m a big fan of Matrix, but it isn’t as approachable as other messaging services and requires some technical know-how to use effectively.
It seems like the Linux of messaging services.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 2 months ago:
for non-work purposes
Sounds like a loophole to me!
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 2 months ago:
They tried to claim they weren’t responsible for the Ai.
Why wouldn’t they be? They made the decision to use (and continue using) AI.
If someone gets drunk, they can’t turn around and say “it was the alcohol’s fault, not mine.”
My first question is rhetorical. I know the answer is: corporations, lobbying, and money.
