- Comment on The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back 3 days ago:
Tbh not surprised. In 2012 I got my first smartphone, it ran Android. At first I thought it was just like a PC. Within half an hour I was fed up at how useless it was.
Can’t even open a terminal window and apt install apache, what a load of junk.
Tried a pinephone and that is almost perfect but it struggled with SMS. If that was more reliable I think it would be the perfect phone.

What, with a bunch of other gay men? Think that one through dad…

Shouldn’t hormones and surgery be the last option as that’s the most extreme, expensive and difficult to reverse option? Like make sure its not something else that can be treated with less invasive options first. Would be awful to go through a sex change when actually you just needed antidepressants.
But mental illness is in a pretty shit state right now.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread 4 days ago:
Considering moving my stuff into a VirtualBox VM or two rather than running directly on my PC. Then at some point in the future when I have the hardware for it I can fairly easily move it to proxmox. Also means installing a clean OS on my main PC is a quicker task as it would just be install virtual box, load up the VMs and a lot of stuff would already be done.
- Comment on GoneWild was once about people feeling wild and posting pictures of it. Now it's just OnlyFans sale 4 days ago:
Fair point. Overall I would be pretty indifferent toward it
- Comment on How likely do you think there will be a run on the banks? 4 days ago:
How so? Personal accounts are covered here up to way more than I will ever own

Tag for users that link to OF or not perhaps?
- Comment on The internet is bad ux, everybody. There's too many choices. 4 days ago:
Fuck that is expensive. £24/month here and I use 4G so I can take my router anywhere and it just works.
- Comment on The internet is bad ux, everybody. There's too many choices. 4 days ago:
Just run adnauseam on its own. I use it too, my thinking is that I am going to be tracked anyway. So instead of trying and almost certainly failing at avoiding it, you just overwhelm them with so much random data that it becomes worthless.

IP over WhatsApp?
- Comment on Solar-powered device captures carbon dioxide from air to make sustainable fuel 5 days ago:
I first heard about this kind of thing a couple of decades ago. Pretty sure biofuel is more efficient though.
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 6 days ago:
You know I am starting to think going to the library is a better idea than buying their products. You can literally just walk in.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 6 days ago:
I mostly use it for wordy things like filing out review forms HR make us do and writing templates for messages to customers
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 6 days ago:
They know pornhub still exists right?

Have they stopped that now? I remember being in it at one point. I didn’t post and didn’t really look at it
- Comment on Attempt to motivate people to take the stairs 6 days ago:
I take the stairs because you can’t take the escalator with a bike but I can easily carry my bike up the stairs. Well, at least when other people don’t crowd around me then complain when they get smacked in the shin by a pedal. Like wtf did you think would happen? I am clearly carrying a bike and it’s not exactly soft.
- Comment on But they are two bangin shirts 6 days ago:
Why throw out perfectly good clothes? Trousers I am wearing now are a little faded on the edges but still perfectly good to wear after a few years. I think my newest trousers are a year old. Few t-shirts have started getting small holes worn through so might replace them at some point.
- Comment on The eye-popping amount of money Elon Musk has already slashed from the Education Department as staff melt down 1 week ago:
I looked out of curiosity. Surely even a conservative view point you want people educated to be productive workers. I would expect changes like moving funding from arts to science rather than removing funding entirely to be more of a typical conservative view.
- Comment on It'll happen to you! 1 week ago:
Names are uaeful, I use fast Ethernet when connecting a server because it’s fast.
- Comment on It'll happen to you! 1 week ago:
I can see more than 8k being useful but not really for home use. Except possibly different form factors like VR, not sure on that one either though.
- Comment on I would do this for just 1.99 1 week ago:
I just don’t plug a camera in
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 week ago:
Maybe better TLDR of how it works will help people realise it doesn’t matter too much which instance they pick
- Comment on Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion 1 week ago:
I don’t see this option sadly, only block instance/community/user. Would love to block Trump/Musks fucking faces from my life.
- Comment on Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion 1 week ago:
Pretty much what I use my locally hosted LLM for. Might not be as good as ChatGPT but I don’t really care.
- Comment on ICE Wants to Know If You’re Posting Negative Things About It Online 1 week ago:
Ill safe them the effort. Yes I am, cunts.
- Comment on It’s Time To Rethink 6G. 1 week ago:
I think 4G is capable of enough speed, but doesn’t always deliver even close to it. So really the preference would be something that can increase the minimum typical speed more than focus just on maximum speed. Presumably that means good signal range and penetration.

Maybe, but you will win more pub quizzes and it’s better than brainrot content
- Comment on As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market 1 week ago:
Could you store a checksum of the backup with an NFT? Think I just threw up a little bit there, but perhaps there is actually a use case for them them. At least it proves the backup remains since it was created regardless of how many copies you have
- Comment on As Sony exits, Verbatim doubles down on optical media — stable supply of discs is a "top priority" despite shrinking market 1 week ago:
How are external HDs not a backup? Sure if it’s left attached 24/7 it would also get caught by ransomware potentially but otherwise surely that is what external media is good for?
Most of my data isn’t that important, but have a script that can sync a live copy to several locations over the LAN and create a timestamped compressed folder of it, usually keep a few of the timestamped copies on external media.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 1 week ago:
Yep, all my GoG games would be installable without internet if I have the installer downloaded, games without DRM bought from the devs directly like Factorio would also work just fine. Loads of games are available outside of steam, some are even on github for free.
