- Comment on The Vatican randomly dropped their new anime mascot and it is polarizing the internet 2 months ago:
I hope the internet is promptly getting to work “rule 34ing” this mascot. Personally I would like to see Luce getting railed by the pope.
- Comment on Cycling will be more dangerous due to council clampdowns, say campaigners 2 months ago:
It recommended adding cycling to the city’s public spaces protection order (PSPO), which aims to tackle antisocial behaviour by banning large gatherings, street drinking, graffiti and loud noise in the city centre, and issuing fines to those who do not comply.
So if the city can issue fines for non-compliance to this law, why can’t they issue fines for the small number of cyclists that are currently endangering people? Why ban the 99% of good cyclists instead of going after the bad 1%?
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 2 months ago:
If you go Android, I recommend a sony phone. Unlockable bootloaders, microsd, headphone jack, exceptional audio, good camera.
I even recently replaced the battery in my Xperia 1 iii.
- Comment on New mobile features are sh*t these days 2 months ago:
When your phone is no longer locked down and working against you, it’s amazing how much more you can - and will - do with it, and the extra storage space quickly becomes most appreciated.

They’re trashing our rights!
Hack the planet!
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 2 months ago:
Same. Flying has become such a terrible experience that I refuse to take part in it anymore. With the overbooking, kicking people off planes, price-gouging customers, constantly late flights, stranding people without compensation, people packed in so tight that no one is comfortable, lack of cleanliness, constitutional rights violations, stealing luggage and items in luggage, violations of people’s bodies…I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to call it cruelty to the passengers.
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 2 months ago:
“mishandled customer service”
That is not the appropriate term for what happened!
- Comment on Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect 3 months ago:
I don’t know, I see Nilay’s question as “why aren’t you doing what’s ethical?” and I always welcome that line of questioning.
- Comment on Kroger’s plans to roll out facial recognition at its grocery stores is attracting criticism from lawmakers, who warn it could lead to surge pricing and put customers’ personal data at risk 3 months ago:
Or when all the supermarkets in your area are owned by Kroger?

Wait…whaaat?
THEY WHAT?!?
As if they weren’t already scary enough!
- Comment on House Centipedes 3 months ago:
I got up one night around 1am to pee. I see maybe 3 or 4 of these little guys in my house each summer, so not very often, but enough that I am always on guard for them, so I turn on the bathroom light and put my feet on the bathmat, thinking it will offer some sort of centipede protection. I am halfway through peeing when one of those little devils apparates out of nowhere and runs full speed right at me. The bathmat does not slow it down at all.
I don’t care what they eat. In my house, they are the worst pest.
- Comment on Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store 3 months ago:
I despise both of these things and I think you just broke my brain.
- Comment on Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store 3 months ago:
No they don’t. When chrome first came out, every tech enthusiast and tech journalist praised it and encouraged every tech person to use it and to get their families to use it. Now millions of families still use Chrome and they don’t deserve to suffer.
Let’s help all our loved ones move to a better browser and a better internet experience.
- Comment on Google is purging ad-blocking extension uBlock Origin from the Chrome Web Store 3 months ago:
To be fair, Mozilla is making some choices regarding Firefox that are pretty controversial; most of us don’t like many of the decisions being made and have legitimate frustrations.
- Comment on Apple quietly deletes nearly a hundred VPNs that allowed Russians to get around censorship 3 months ago:
Yes they do. Millions of them do.
- Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic 3 months ago:
This made me wonder though…the car obviously has cameras on the outside, and there’s also a way to communicate with the support team from inside…so is it a stretch to think that these cars could be auto-recording everything that’s happening inside the car?
Should we - as riders - have any expectation of privacy in a car with no driver?

There’s dozens of us!
- Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years? 4 months ago:
+1 for philips.
The problem is most of what the big box hardware stores in the US are selling are junk brands. And they won’t even offer basics like a philips 75-watt-equivalent soft-white led in their stores.
The junk brand bulbs will fail in my kitchen light fixture after a year (they start flickering). The philips bulbs have never failed for me.
A properly designed and produced led bulb should last like 20 years.
- Comment on YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog 4 months ago:
And then there are people like me, who aren’t opposed to paying for access in theory, but will never be okay with having the videos I watch be tied to an account. It’s inconvenient and I don’t trust Google with my watch history, even when the option is turned off.
Also I wouldn’t pay until: Youtube stops showing ads for hate groups; stops its manipulative recommendations and push towards right-leaning and extremist content; stops manipulating creators to all make the same kind of video in order to please the algorithm; removes hate content and extremist content; stops auto-flagging and removing fair-use content.
- Comment on California governor signs law to protect children from social media addiction. 4 months ago:
The law bans platforms from sending notifications without permission from parents to minors between midnight and 6 a.m., and between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays from September through May, when children are typically in school.
Wait, they hardcoded the school season and school hours into the law? What about schools that don’t follow those schedules?

If you wrap silly putty around serious putty and detonate, does the silly putty act like shrapnel during the explosion?

A single emoji at the end of a post never hurt anybody 🤫

A telecom company with the hubris and arrogance to call themselves “Everything Everywhere”.

I keep seeing this posted but I have yet to see anyone mention which brands are actually doing this.
- Comment on Government should “urgently” legalise e-scooters says shared transport charity - says serious safety incidents are rare 5 months ago:
Sadly this is a term that has caught on even though it makes no sense. I wish people had latched onto “non-electric” bike or “NE” bike instead, but here we are.

No worries! ^_^
- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 5 months ago:
Yeah. I guess we shouldn’t expect that to change any time soon?
If that’s the case, maybe public votes is the best way to go.

You should not be ashamed of your vote history.
I agree, people shouldn’t be ashamed of their vote history unless they are trying to harass a person or community with a pattern of downvotes.
I still don’t want to be harassed for my voting though, nor will I be pressured into defending my votes if a user brings it up.
