- Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site” 17 hours ago:
MRW someone posts about Reddit still being a shit community tolerating abuse on a downward arc from Advance Publications, to Mods (fuck Spez), to users.
“Hey guys, I heard about a poppin’ new club! The cover is only $10, but bouncers get to backhand anyone anytime they feel like it, and kick you out anytime that you advocate support for anything even slightly left of center.” /s ᕕ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ᕗ

You’ve got to go earlier, there’s some really neat stuff way back like Astro Boy, Tetsujin 28-go, Speed Racer, etc.

Same, OMW to watch animes made before the year 2000.

Americans have apparently shored up the construction of their White House since the British burnt it down during the War of 1812. I won’t stop anyone from trying, but it’s going to be one Hell of a tall order logistically speaking…

- Comment on Nexar Turns Dashcams into ‘Virtual CCTV Cameras.’ Then Hackers Got In 1 week ago:
Fucking. Told. You. So. Over and over again, I talk to people about this shit, but no one really seems to get the existential risk, let along the actual realtime ones. CCTV security does not need to be internet connected.
Don’t install cameras inside your homes, whether it’s facing your yard, inside your garage, and especially not inside your living/sleeping areas. These programs are not secure, your terminals are not secure, the networks which transmit the data are not secure. If you don’t want a play-by-play of your argument with your SO, kids, or other family members, let alone footage of you fucking each other or rubbing one out, don’t fucking install cameras in your home.
Years later: “We’re going to mount similar shit-security wireless camera systems on our personal vehicles to record everything around us on a second-by-second basis. What’s the worst that could happen?”
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
Bingo, if I were still collecting DVDs/HD DVDs like I was in the 90’s, it might be an issue. Streaming services and other online media routed through the TV can hardly buffer to keep up with play speed at 720, so what the fuck would I want with a TV that can show a higher quality of picture which it can also not display without stutter-buffering the whole of a 1:30:00 movie?
- Comment on Malicious compliance 2 weeks ago:
OP sees the malicious compliance as a “chad” move, hence the use of Giga Chad meme.
- Comment on Malicious compliance 2 weeks ago:
Lowest common denominator strikes again with ludicrously unnecessary censorship. Not even curse words or things like “suicide” anymore, just whatever drifts past their sights.

Sweet Jesus, I can well imagine, except for the scale on account of some whales being school bus-sized. Rotten rodents don’t hold a candle given the 1000:1 or more ratio.

I’ve never had the misfortune of dealing with it IRL myself, but the stories from cops who’ve had to retrieve bloated ‘floaters’ from shorelines or bodies of water are pretty daunting - describing ‘the deceased’ as sometimes coming apart in their hands like an overcooked pot roast (“fall off the bone ribs, $9.99 this Thursday at Al’s Cookhouse!”).

Fucking too real. I can’t tell if they’re legitimately too incompetent to perform their most basic tasks at work or fucking with me.
- Comment on How does ads generate money for the ones who display it? 5 weeks ago:
Easy, the ones displaying the ads have been paid to do so. Magazines of yesteryear have been replaced by websites, TV still follows the same model, but has probably been outpaced by the scale of ads online. Billboards are probably the only one unaffected, and the people who lease the space to erect the billboard charge their customers for the right to have their ad displayed, just the same as any of the others above. Want your ad in my magazine, on my TV channel, webpage, Youtube? Pay for the privilege.

- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 1 month ago:
That’s part of the problem, I can’t even begin to figure out who or what to follow. I’m not kidding about the part where I browsed the random feed; there was random K-pop stuff, ultra-local politics with no context, posts about random low-key mobile games, stream of thought… I’m literally at a complete loss about where to narrow my focus with that platform, it might as well be a hacked feed of every single cell phone DM/individual group chat messages (minus the smut). I can’t even figure out why I should give a fuck about it existing TBH, what am I supposed to do with this thing?
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 1 month ago:
I hear you, but this is a problem that I’ve solved by browsing the splash as Posts/All/New. It helps to catch rando posts that I wouldn’t normally stumble across.

I feel as though I’m still missing something about Mastadon that others have absorbed and moved past. There was remarkably little content there, aside from the spam shotgunned into my feed by the few brand/city official accounts that I subbed to… What’s the appeal? I set it to display the rando posts, but it appeared to be literally that, random shitposting the way that people scream into the void of Twitter or Bluesky…

Bingo, @Madbrad200@sh.itjust.works , see the wikipedia entries which climb as high as 116: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscovium

Love it when shitposting reaches out into the real world like some kind of digital tribute to The Creation of Adam (1508–1512).
