- Comment on Should large Fediverse instances and Bluesky encourage, not require, users to opt-in to bridges that connect to Bluesky and other non-fedi social web platforms? 8 hours ago:
I don’t really like bridges, tends to be vert clunky. I recently interacted with a bridged account over mastodon and it was a really pluf experience.
I don’t really like bluesky anyway. I won’t invest in a platform that will be bought and enthisitfy by some fascists as twitter was.

That’s precisely your issue before. Voting in reddit is not private as admins know that info and can share with anyone so the “bad voter” could get prosecuted. But users, like you, think it’s private because they don’t see it.
Be consistent with your argument at least.
I will disengage here. Bye!

I don’t know how to break this… But voting in Lemmy is not choosing a president.
Voting is like booing or clapping in a public agora. It’s not private. If you assume is private that’s on you.
Not even on your beloved reddit. Reddit admins know all your votes.

- Comment on 'Consumers are not okay with okay': Take-Two boss says BioShock 4 is taking so long because the company's goal is 'to make the best entertainment, not necessarily the most entertainment' 1 day ago:
I really disliked bioshock 3. So I have little hope.
The story was over the top but without saying anything interesting or iconic.
Gunplay is a weird mix between call of duty and bioshock and it doesn’t work.
Upgrade system along with only two weapons felt weird. Topics are less useful and less common than in previous games.
“Choices” in story are not choices, completely useless.
Companion AI is bland, they promised a revolution with Elisabeth but it’s just a fly tied on a cord, there’s zero AI in it. It can’t die so there’s nothing to interact. It just moves around you, pretend to seek supplies and to hide from bullets but it’s all fake, it cannot be hurt and she just tosses you supplies on scripted events.
The bird is hyped and have zero impact in the gameplay.
And I could go on…
Bioshock 1 is a thousand times better game in every single aspect.

- Comment on The 2025 version of "Please consider this environment before printing this email" should be "Please consider this environment before using A.I. to respond to this email" 4 days ago:
To be fair they never cared about environment. A paper is something easy to recycle and certainly not the most polluting material to produce.
It was more about saving money, greenwashing and pushing a conversion towards digital archiving (which is much more efficient that paper)
- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 4 days ago:
People are against it because several reasons.
First because it’s a very specific taste/opinion that they don’t share. You are saying that “all would be more appealing without softcore porn”, but it seems that you are the only one who thinks that here, most people don’t care or even like it. We could also put a filter to blurry dog pictures for people scare of dogs, where does it end? Until which point personal tastes should have their own explicit filters? It ends in a “word filter” which is already usable.
Also I would say that most people is against this because it reads as a first step towards a “porn ban”. We have no puritan advertisements or pay processor to please. People here like the freedom. And that would be a step in the opposite direction. It reads a little like so many discourses we are seeing in so many places to make them “family friendly” and to “protect the children”. I would suppose that due the nature of the fediverse (which is a push back against those people controlling our internet) is against anything that looks like that.
- Comment on I can get a 430 hearing on any family member I want. Hell i can even testify if someone else needs one. So tell me why I can't go through the legal system to get an invasive one for Trump? 4 days ago:
Can you get that on any family member just by asking for it?
Really?
- Comment on NSFW on Lemmy 4 days ago:
I don’t know any place which have the proposed “soft nsfw” filter separate from “nsfw”.
Comparison with reddit is weird as reddit r/all is full of ““artistic”” pictures or paintings of naked women.
Also the fediverse is not really like reddit. The more the platform grows the more useless All becomes. Try to go to mastodon and browse by “all” it’s unusable. Either pick an instance with a good “local” you like or all is not really that important. I don’t think it’s a “first impressions”, first impression is “local”. All is never going to be a curated feed, not a consistent one. It’s a federated platform, which means a LOT of diversity and variety on communities and posts.
Also I don’t see or even want to start consider anything that shows a little skin “nsfw”. I think that’s a very personal taste that should not be universally applied.
I really don’t buy the argument here.

Out of those I only know blockchain being used in spain as a way to ensure legality of accounting books, and that business are not commiting fraud by deleting invoices. Not in a public ledger or anything, just a hashed chain that they need to send to irs equivalent.
- Comment on What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts? 1 week ago:
Go on tinder or a music pub, whatever he prefers, and approach people that he finds attractive.
Go with respect and making things clear, to avoid issues. He would need a few tries but surely he would be able to find who finds him attractive and it’s down for some uncompromised sexy time.
- Comment on What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts? 1 week ago:
On bars and tinder?
Without being good locking you go nowhere nowadays. You don’t even get a chance to show how funny, witty, common interests you have, much less to show that you have a good hygiene, for that you need a date first. And you are not getting swiped right if you are not attractive.
That is good for other kind of relationships, meeting people in other places and flirting. That can get you laid, but not the same type of quick casual sex that op is asking for. That’s more of a “start a relationship” kind of deal.
For the kind of date that goes “let’s have a drink to figure that you are not a psychopath that’s going to kill me and then to my place to fuck”, you need to be attractive.
I like to be clear with this. Because there’s tons of very good young men, who are funny, have great hygiene, are witty, are nice. And they have to confront the reality that without being good locking they will have to assume that that kind of sex is most likely out of the table, and they better try to build other kind of relationships instead. i prefer that to gaslighting them into thinking they don’t get laid because they are terrible people on the inside or have terrible hygiene, when this is most likely not true. And when they are seeing truly terrible people getting laid regardless because they are good looking.
My advice is that if you are not good looking you have mostly two options, think about experimenting with gay sex (you might like it) or completely opt out the dating scene (specially dating apps) and just build into making friends and potential love partners. Without really expecting quick casual sex, as that will lead to huge frustrations.
- Comment on Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't. 1 week ago:
My bet for climate change is a massive migrational crisis and wars over resources.
Humankind won’t disappear, not even civilization. But life would probably be shit, and many many people will die.
- Comment on What's the easiest way to get hookups without seeing escorts? 1 week ago:
Step 1: be attractive. Step 2: be attractive.
If you want quick heterosexual sex woth a woman without paying you’ll need to be attractive, that’s about it.
Now, if you were gay things would be easier.

Correct me if I’m wrong. But your testicles will still produce valid material don’t they? That could be extracted and used for artificial insemination if needed, I think.

Unless you have a stable partner there’s no much point on a vasectomy. You will need to use a condom regardless.
I would wait until there’s a strong reason for getting it. Most people wait until they have a stable partner they want to have unprotected sex with.

Pirate everything. Pay directly to artists only when they allow you to do so (like direct sales on their website). If they don’t allow you to make money go to them without also paying pigs then don’t pay them at all.

That’s how I know my money doesn’t end on fifhty hands!
I just wish artists had like a direct donation address, without absolutely any intermediates, so I could pay them for their work. But I’d rather not pay anything that pay most of my money to undeserving people.
