The first gen 3.6 has enough issues, have u seen how the new gen 3.6 is gobbling up intake cams? Ugh they stopped making real jeeps when the 4.0 went the wayside …

I am using the voyager app and have not found a place to separate them but I appreciate the response! I have not looked much into other Lemmy browsing apps and hardly ever use it on the computer…

Excuse my ignorance but how does one analyze how many up or down votes a comment has on Lemmy?
- Comment on Climate goals go up in smoke as US datacenters turn to coal 4 days ago:
The rain of down votes on ur comments shows me that Lemmy has become every bit as much if not worse an echo chamber than reddit. Facts of the matter are humans are overcrowding the plant and gobbling up all the resources at an unsustainable rate. Human population DOES need to drop a bit of we are to use this planet long term, lest we spell our own doom in a few hundred years by picking this once beautiful planet to the bone.
- Comment on Senate report says AI will take 97M US jobs in the next 10 years, but those numbers come from ChatGPT 1 week ago:
The fact that “AI” training off other LLM slop produces worse and worse results is proof there is no “intelligence” going on just clever parroting.

I had same issue trying to play that after a long time and after sending a screenshot of my steam acct logged in on a certain page they gave me a link to reset my info and I now have access again. What a pain in the ass it was though

Another user just linked some resources. Incredible the bullshit going on these days. So much going on it’s hard for me to keep up with it all but I’m glad to be enlightened.

Wow thanks for the resources! I appreciate you dropping links I had no idea this was going on. Of course Google and Amazon are involved too, could have figured as much. Appears the only way do avoid the military industrial complex is to cease using anything provided from our oligarch overlords. What an age we live in.

I’m not exactly s power user in Microsoft office, but I found using libre office to be very similar. Never had issues using it for school back in the day and I’m sure it’s better now.

- Comment on Inside the Underground Trade of ‘Flipper Zero’ Tech to Break into Cars 1 month ago:
Trouble is the move to complete computerization. Back in the day we had physical keys which turned a physical switch to physically connect the power from battery to wake ECU. Now, we have a button that sends a REQUEST to the ECU to turn on or off, and as long as an acceptable transponder is around it will accept the request. If you turn your car off when u hit that stop button it REQUESTS that the ECU shut down assuming conditions are met. I have had a problem 202w wrangler JL turn on fine but refuse to shut off untill you pulled the terminals off the battery. This new age hyper computerized nonsense is why every mechanic hates these new age techno bullshit wanna-be computer appliances on wheels, canbus can be awesome for keeping all modules on the same page but one bad wire and the whole system takes a shit.
- Comment on Inside the Underground Trade of ‘Flipper Zero’ Tech to Break into Cars 1 month ago:
You’d be surprised what people will pay for a striker hellcat. Yea it’s never gonna be as common, but it will happen. It is easier to steal a hellcat with a flipper zero than to pull apart a column to get behind the ignition and turn it without the key, if anything hacking into cars is quicker and easier than defeating a physical key! My SO push button 15 Jetta could easily be stolen with a flipper, but my 87 YJ with a physical key requires an understanding of the wiring system and the time to tear down the column to be stolen. Any dunce capable of buying a flipper loaded with appropriate software can easily steal any new push button car.
- Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 1 month ago:
I think a lot of people on reddit forget that it’s a forum. They see reddit as this special thing, when in fact it’s not. My best description to people about Lemmy is it’s a bunch of reddits that all can see eachother and none are owned by some corporation looking to harvest your info. It’s like reddit, but better. As for which instance? Roll a dice and pick one, it doesn’t matter all that much. I’m on lemmy.world and I don’t even know half the time I just surf around. Other than that anything that makes reddit better then Lemmy is purely due to the fact it has a larger and longer established user base.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 1 month ago:
That sounds about right lol. I went to what is known as a REALLY good business school, and I learned more about how to run a business in a year as a service advisor and the owners right hand than I ever did in 4 years of school. I know nothing beats on the job experience, but still I thought I’d learn a little more of value than I did …
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 1 month ago:
The trades will ALWAYS be in demand. No matter where society goes, as long as it doesn’t collapse we will need running water, electricity, toilets, transportation, etc. I went to college for bio, switched to CS, graduated with business management degree and now I’m a mechanic. The hope is one day run my own garage perhaps, but untill then I love comfortably enough and know I can walk out tomorrow and find another job before I make it home.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 1 month ago:
When I started college I was in for biochem. Quickly realized there aren’t many jobs and most pay pretty shit, so I switched to computer science. Did some research and found that while there are good paying jobs, good luck finding them. Settled on a business degree (their the easiest of anything I was interested in, and I had a full ride that I didn’t want to waste dropping out). Graduated and now I’m a mechanic and make more than I would have if I stuck with my original bio degree. I also love what I do for a living despite the possibility of making more doing something else. Some fault is absolutely on the students for failing to do their own research, hopefully they have all learned a valuable lesson about being gullible. Always do your own research, and pick from various sources! At 18 you should not sign on for massive amounts of debt because “somebody said I’d get a good paying job later if I spend all the money I don’t have right now”. Not saying young adults weren’t fooled, but you cannot say 0% fault lies on the students. By that logic you should be a trump supporter because some boomer told u to be. The thing that differentiates and adult from a man-child is their ability to take responsibility for their own decisions. It’s not like you were FORCED to go to school.
- Comment on Microsoft breaks Windows reset and recovery 1 month ago:
The fact of the matter is almost nobody really deals with these issues. I’m not saying they don’t exist, but their definatley blown out of proportion by the LINUX OR DIE echo chamber that forgets people have to use their work equipment or just want everything to work natively without having to learn bash and a hundred other things to make shit work. 75ish % of computers run windows, 2% use Linux. So an issue that effects a insignificant amount of windows users would be like half of the Linux base. I love Linux don’t get me wrong, and use it on my garage computer and other fun projects but my main gaming PC and my wife’s PC and all the computers at work all run windows for a reason. I doubt Linux has a good software to run a plasma table or a CNC mill, some stuff u just can’t do on Linux without investing more time than is worth.

This guy has the definition of a metaphor on hand but apparently can’t look up what contrarian means 🤣

This^ our global market has made veganism a very healthy option considering we can get foods grown in other environments that are protein rich and such. I think if you were limited to only what’s local, being a healthy vegan would be a lot harder but having access to all manner of foods these days makes it easy
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 2 months ago:
By definition contrarian is somebody who opposes or rejects popular opinion. So yes by definition being vegan is contrarian lmfao. Not saying I have any issues with it there’s nothing wrong with being vegan I’m just saying it is by definition contrarian to be vegan. And nothing wrong with being contrarian either! Judging by the votes on my original comment, it appears that me stating veganism is contrarian was in fact a contrarian opinion lmfao. I regularly have vegetarian and vegan meals, and I love my meat. Hopefully people didn’t get the wrong idea about my opinions on veganism as there are no negative ones from me …
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 2 months ago:
So I’m gonna play devil’s advocate here and say that it is. Look at your teeth, humans are omnivores. Cutting out half the diet you evolved to consume is in fact a contriarian position. Not that I have any issues with vegans or vegetarians, just from an anatomical point of view we were designed to eat some meat! I do think calling people who don’t use AI “AI vegans” is absurd though, as diet has absolutely nothing to do with use of AI. Would be more accurate to say their AI fasting if we’re gonna use food related terms.
- Comment on Tucson City Council votes 7-0, unanimously to kill AI Data Center 2 months ago:
They absolutely can run closed loop. It does not cool as well as evaporative cooling (it takes MASSIVE heat to evaporate water) but it can work if designed right with large system capacity and big radiators. Trouble is it’s likely more expensive than pissing away the water and we know all that matters is bottom line.
- Comment on Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3% 2 months ago:
I appreciate the advice! I’ll try that distro next. I’m hoping after this winter I’ll have more time to mess around with my PC. I have a bunch of old parts (fx6300, 750ti) from a gaming PC from decade or more ago that I plan on setting up in my garage for reading PDFs looking at wiring diagrams playing music etc. That will certainly be a Linux build and if I like it on there might put it on my zen3 rig. Currently reading diagrams off my 15 in laptop screen in my garage, will be much nicer with a desktop hooked up to a monitor and a spare TV I have kicking around.
- Comment on Steam Survey for July 2025 shows Linux approaching 3% 2 months ago:
I’m still a windows guy unfortunately, but I’m getting very excited about the adoption of Linux lately. I think steam OS has been huge for Linux adoption, as many gamers are probably willing to make the switch but only if they can keep gaming without having to use wine or something. I personally run windows only because I have no time in my life to play with computer stuff and just want it to work for me in the hour or two I get in a week max to game, and it seems like we’re just about there. I think my next build will be Linux based at this rate! When I had more time to faff about with crap (a couple years ago) I ran Linux a lot but it just required too much intervention to make things work and nowadays I’m far to busy to spend my precious time ironing out headaches.
