- Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup. 13 hours ago:
The “unemployed” part of his comment suggests he has a low food budget, in which case fruit is a terrible choice. Beans have way more calories per dollar
- Comment on 'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop' 2 days ago:
If it was made by Nintendo (not Gamefreak) it would actually be optimized
- Comment on Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming 3 days ago:
Yeah, I’m adding about 500 songs to my spotify library every year. If I paid 1€ for every single one it would be more than 10x the cost of the 3€ per month for a Spotify Family slot
- Comment on sweet temptations 1 week ago:
It also synergizes with regular grass by providing it with nitrogen
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 week ago:
And even that basic protection is optional. There are a few games on Steam that have no DRM at all, Witcher 3 (but for some reason not the remaster) and Baldurs Gate 3 for example.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
The SSD has been soldered to the motherboard on previous models as well. The nvme slot is for adding a second SSD, it’s not populated from the factory
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
Increasing resolution but keeping the same bitrate still improves the image quality, unless the bitrate was extremely low in the first place. Especially with modern codecs
- Comment on It's efficient. 1 week ago:
No, my body is very used to eating lots of fiber, that’s not the issue. I just eat a ton of calories because I’m very physically active, so even when I pay attention to eating foods with little fiber I still get around 50 grams per day, at least when bulking.
- Comment on It's efficient. 1 week ago:
Yeah but I’d rather shit a brick once or twice a day than have runny poop 5 times a day
- Comment on FTC chair Andrew Ferguson warns Google not to filter or suppress emails sent by Republicans over Gmail 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but flagging usually happens automatically and is not always your fault
- Comment on Imagine if the only thing limiting your dreams was a livable income 2 weeks ago:
No one goes 27 years without catching a cold
- Comment on Why don't they have simpler names for brain disorders, where perhaps even the person suffering the disorder might be able to remember the term themself? 2 weeks ago:
It’s spelled that way, but it’s pronounced “dihmenshuh”
You’re telling on yourself
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 weeks ago:
If someone breaks their arm doing a skateboard trick, do you blame the seller of the skateboard?
Consenting adults know the risk of taking drugs, if someone gets addicted the blame doesn’t fall on the dealer.
Not to mention that the vast majority of drug users dont become addicted or have their lives ruined. Rather they have their lives significantly improved
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 weeks ago:
We have all been conditioned by the media to think of drug dealers as bad people, but if you aren’t violent and only selling to consenting adults there is nothing inherently wrong or evil about it, other than braking the law. You are providing a valuable service to your community, like every other job.
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 3 weeks ago:
where a 30ms difference in reaction time is noticeable (this is less than 1 frame in a fighting game, for example)
You have some pretty bad understanding of how netcode works if you think a 30ms ping in an online multi-player game means your game or input is delayed by 30ms. It’s a lot more complicated than that, and especially in games with bad netcode you will absolutely notice a difference between 10ms or 30ms ping
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 3 weeks ago:
Is it because latency does not scale in that way?
Yes, your understanding is fundamentally flawed. Starlink add a fixed latency on top, if you ping to a server was 2ms with fiber and 52ms with starlink, then your ping to a server that would be 100ms with fiber would be 150ms with starlink
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 3 weeks ago:
I live near DE-CIX and have fiber. So a decent chunk of web services I use is available with a latency of under 5ms. And everything else hosted in a European datacenter with under 20ms.
So almost all of my internet traffic has a lower latency than starlink has under ideal conditions
- Comment on So glad I suck dick 5 weeks ago:
Or one of the regional ones (feddit.org for german speaking countries for example)
- Comment on So glad I suck dick 5 weeks ago:
Pretty sure China would block all lemmy instances they knew of, the smaller ones just flew under the radar.
- Comment on Cutting sucks 5 weeks ago:
This is absolutely terrible advice. It takes an insane amount of physical activity to burn the calories of a meal, and being in a deficit will make you feel hungry regardless.
The majority of people need to worry about putting down their fork, not doing more physical activities
- Comment on YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party. 1 month ago:
Or Tidal-dl-ng for Tidal
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 1 month ago:
We’re you never a child? I formatted my family pc and reinstalled windows in 5th grade, and used a VPN to circumvent the schools online filter in 7th grade.
Children are not as stupid as you seem to think
- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 1 month ago:
would the network be willing to carry my signals?
That is entirely up to the whim of your neighboring nodes to decide
- Comment on Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded 1 month ago:
Hetzner and reliable do not belong in the same sentence.
Cheap yes, reliable no.
I’ve been using them for my company a lot because of how cheap they are, but compared to other European competitors (like OVH) they are complete garbage. Their pricing is the only redeeming factor.
The Schwartz Group (parent company of Lidl) is currently building a German cloud platform, which sounds a lot more promising.
- Comment on "Tea cup" app - user database leaked today (incl. drivers license & IDs). Daily reminder not to give your ID to online services [THEY DO NOT PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION] 1 month ago:
Women aren’t routinely abusing men with dating apps
Lmao
- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 1 month ago:
And usually by the time they break they have been obsolete anyways, at least for 24/7 use in a NAS where storage density and energy efficiency are a big concern. So you would have replaced most of them long before they break, even with recertified drives
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 2 months ago:
Probably only surpassed by Minecraft, although that is of course no longer an indie game today
- Comment on Massive internet outage reported: Google services, Cloudflare, Character.AI among dozens of services impacted 2 months ago:
Interesting, I have a lot less problems with the Cloudflare verification, than with Google captchas. The slightest unusual thing seems to put you in captcha hell
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 3 months ago:
The title makes it appear as if it’s out of charity and goodness of their corporate heart
Only to someone that has been living under a rock for the last decade. Everyone else is able to deduct from the “to European users” in the title that the EU forced their hand
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 3 months ago:
Dann haben wir uns nur falsch verstanden. Ich habe angenommen, dass sich das “sie” im zweiten Satz auf Duolingo bezieht, also “ich benutze (Duolingo) nicht”
