- Comment on Lentils; Which, why in what? 11 hours ago:
I cook green ones with a little rosemary and bay leaf, then salt and pepper them and mix them into rice. It’s pretty basic but cheap and not bad for lunch.
- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 18 hours ago:
It’s definitely rare but it is not unheard of for disreputable dealers to spray cannabis or fake cannabis with synthetic cannabinoids to fake the quality or increase the strength.

- Comment on College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself 1 day ago:
Is that why it’s 10s of thousands of dollars, or more?
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 1 week ago:
So absolutely nothing new? DLSS has always been slop.
- Comment on Theoretically speaking, if one wanted to sail the seas while being not very tech savvy – is using a VPN (Mullvad) enough? I would never, of course… but theoretically? 1 week ago:
Yep, pretty much all servers are. You could say that about anything. Lemmy is just someone else’s computer. Wikipedia is just someone else’s computer. 100% of network infrastructure is just someone else’s computer.
It’s actually least accurate for VPN in general than anything else, because it’s common to host a VPN for access to a local network and homelab services, in which case the VPN server is not someone else’s computer.
- Comment on Theoretically speaking, if one wanted to sail the seas while being not very tech savvy – is using a VPN (Mullvad) enough? I would never, of course… but theoretically? 1 week ago:
Wrong. VPN is the encrypted tunnel between your computer and someone else’s computer.
You’re thinking of a VPS.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
Okay, so yeah if you’re not a software developer, then forking it and developing the software is not an option for you. Your only option is to simply continue waiting for all of the software you use to be created by other people and handed to you, like you do already.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
software gets forked and continued all the time
If you understand that this is true, then I don’t really understand your argument. If this happens all the time for other software, then why can’t it for Lutris? You’re just saying that people who are not software developers cannot develop software? Okay… yeah.
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
It’s not like just anyone can fork any project and continue developing it.
Why not?
- Comment on Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash 2 weeks ago:
While I may not agree that letting AI write the code is a good idea, the complaints are dumber. It’s open source. Just fork it if you have a problem with it.

Forgejo is the way
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 2 weeks ago:
I used to use html.duckduckgo.com as my search engine before I started self-hosting SearXNG. The duckduckgo website works fine on a phone, the same as desktop
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 2 weeks ago:
Mobile firefox is compatible with desktop addons, so you can still use ublock origin on your phone. I also use pihole to cover my whole local network and wireshark to VPN my phone to my local network when out of the house.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 2 weeks ago:
Why would I ever want to see youtube comments? Literally zero impact for me.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable - Dexerto 2 weeks ago:
I often entirely forget that youtube and most of the internet is plagued with ads. It’s a shock to use a family member’s phone or laptop that does not have adblock
- Comment on What to selfhost if you have a lot of bandwidth 2 weeks ago:
There’s nothing illegal about using Tor, which was developed and published by the US Navy and supported by the US State Department. Like other users have said, this is not an exit node which is the only type of node that I would be concerned about running.
Definitely look into I2P which, in a nutshell, is a peer-to-peer version of Tor. Hosting an I2P router comes with no legal risk, too.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 3 weeks ago:
That’s not at all what that means, nor does it make any sense.

I’ll come back to this in 4 weeks. See you then 😉
- Comment on Let Trump cook... 3 weeks ago:
The parts of the economy that would be heavily impacted by oil prices
Literally all of it. www.investopedia.com/…/oilpricesinflation.asp
are already in the gutter.
You’re not wrong. Does not refute my claim though.
- Comment on Let Trump cook... 3 weeks ago:
Two things that have also failed to manifest, in large part thanks to the prolific state spending following COVID.
We’re still only 3 days into this war. And yet this is already manifesting right now in real life as we debate it on the internet. …yahoo.com/…/stock-market-today-dow-sp-500-nasdaq…
Trump’s very obviously not going to do that.
Yes, agreed, this is very obvious. Because Trump does not have control over the interest rates.
- Comment on Let Trump cook... 3 weeks ago:
oil skyrocketing in price and the economy and stock market taking a huge hit could cause the investments required to prop up the bubble to run out of steam
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 4 weeks ago:
Then why won’t you say that artificial insemination IS rape?
Because it is not true.
regardless of how much you try to derail the conversation.
Actually, I’m the only one who has stayed on topic and avoided strawman arguments here.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 4 weeks ago:
I advocated for broadening the scope of what we call rape to more than just humans. It’s anthropocentric to think that only humans can be raped.
I’ve never contested this. We agree on this point.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 4 weeks ago:
No, I never make personal attacks or ad hominem. The fact that you’ve stooped to this level shows that your argument has failed and you cannot use logic or reasoning to back it up.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 4 weeks ago:
I have won this argument for a 2nd time because you have no other response besides “no u”
any animal can be raped
True
cows who are artificially inseminated
Is not rape and you already admitted it is not equivalent to rape.
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 4 weeks ago:
when the really fallacy is your inability to understand nuance and context
That’s truly ironic. Again, no self awareness at all? Nuance and context is what I have highlighted to you. If you understood nuance and context, then you would understand that things happening in a different context to different subjects are actually nuanced and different. Instead your flawed world view requires all of this to be viewed as black and white and the same, when it is not.

“Comparison doesn’t mean perfect equation.”
this you?
- Comment on "Being vegan is unnatural" 4 weeks ago:
You admitted that artificial insemination of livestock is not equivalent to rape. So yes, I did come out on top, as this was the original point that we were debating.
