You don’t really need to be humanoid to manipulate ddmoors and gates
- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 2 days ago:
Because they later felt embarrassed by their question.
- Comment on Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages 2 days ago:
Like what… stairs?
Just leave the package at the bottom of the stairs like humans do.
- Comment on The D.E.N.N.I.S ship 3 days ago:
I still don’t understand what it means though?
Of course you need sleeping areas, even just for sleeping.
Of course people are probably going to wank, or maybe even fuck.
There are actually no laws in space. Vague untested treaties about resources perhaps, but not laws, and certainly not about sex.

Sorry but here’s a reddit link: reddit.com/…/lets_not_make_a_hero_of_elon_yet/
Paraphrasing but pretty much just said Trump is in the epstein files and that’s why they haven’t been made public.

Nah the tweet about the whatever documents was too pointy.
Dems should scream blue bloody murder about these until they’re released.

I don’t know the reference…
A wild guess is that its originally a photo of Hitler?
- Comment on Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down 3 days ago:
Do people really make comments with that level of gravity though?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
I don’t think that’s what’s going on though.
If you say it’s hot or it’s cold or it’s windy you’re not referring tp the sky.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
It’s sunny. It’s windy.
- Comment on Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down 4 days ago:
Yeah, again… unpopular opinion but just embrace the transience. How necessary is “transferring” a community. There’s very few communities with content that provides some kind of reference.
- Comment on Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down 4 days ago:
There are projects that will just scrape the whole site. Some of these are used as a build step in producing static sites even.
A static version wouldn’t work with any clients of any kind of course. It would be browser-based with the default or whatever frontend you scraped it with.
I’m not necessarily opposed to this idea. However… and I understand that this opinion is not widely held among lemmy users… IMO the best approach is to just embrace the transience of the fediverse - that’s it’s strength. Instances are easy come easy go. Have multiple accounts on multiple instances and change them according to your mood.
When instance admins choose to move on, they’re not letting us down or whatever. They’ve completed their part of the mission and handing over to someone else.
I don’t know what communities there are on lemm.ee which are about to be discontinued. There might be some that want to keep their content available, but maybe that’s better managed on a community level.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 5 days ago:
This sounds like a real nightmare.
If the admins have had enough then I imagine there’s not much appetite for something like this.
- Comment on lemm.ee is shutting down at the end of this month 5 days ago:
I can’t comment on whether the admins are likely to be open to this, but it’s definitely more drama than simply shutting down.
The data users provided to lemm.ee was entrusted to the admins of that instance. It might not seem like a big deal, but just handing it over isn’t really appropriate.
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 6 days ago:
Thus is childish and unlikely to lead to a solution.
- Comment on Month-long awareness celebrations 6 days ago:
We def have pride “month” in Australia.
However, most cities have pride festivals at other times of year like my city had a bunch of events over 2 weeks in Febreuary.
IDK why it’s a whole month? You’re right it’s unusual. We celebrate different sports for different periods of time. IDK if that counts.
People refer to “Christmas time” or “over christmas” as a vague period of several weeks. “We’re going to visit mum and dad over christmas” implies a week or more.

They weren’t stupid they just didn’t know any better. There’s a difference, and it’s an important one in these troubled times.

Can you imagine the moaning?

I thought this was the bribe?
- Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe? 1 week ago:
I reject the premise!
There is no safe or unsafe. It’s more like “more safe for a given person”.
Your friend’s system is better than using the same password everywhere. It’s more difficult to hack than the majority of passwords that aren’t generated by password managers. If that’s what your friend likes and works for them well, fine I guess.
It wouldn’t work for me because:
- it doesn’t input the password for you. Does your friend really type passwords in all the time?
- IDK if my memory is particularly bad but having to remember anything at all is hit and miss. Like I could remember those characters that are used everywhere, but for the router at my mum and dads house that I haven’t accessed in 5 years, was it “mums router” or "router mums house"
- Also I manage multiple passwords for the same sites, as in credentials for my partner or whatever, but I guess I could make variant of this system.
- also if I were to die the person who sorts out all my stuff will have access to my passwords
- but the main reason is… I use my keepassxc db as a database for all sorts of things which aren’t necessarily passwords. ssh keys are a good example. I use it for TOTP. bank card details. membership numbers and government ids. VIN numbers for vehicles. Also, a weird one, I have to keep track of about 100 physical keys for reasons, I stamp a number on them like k32 and then store that number and an explanation of what it’s for in my db.
- Comment on Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out 1 week ago:
Exactly.
Communication with people is hard enough already without an LLM deciding what parts are important.
Idiots using LLMs to write emails to people using LLMs to summarise them. It’s just slop all the way down.

this sounds great. thanks for the tip!
I think I already have pinchflat. Didn’t know sponsorblock worked for podcasts. Thanks!

Australia checking in. We have the price per Kw, and the number of Kw consumed.
- Comment on Kangaroo 'tries to drown' man in Australian floodwaters 2 weeks ago:
Kangaroos do exactly this to dogs fairly regularly.
It’s not necessarily an attempt to drown an attacker.
Roos often retreat into water as a defence. Even on land their defence is pretty much holding with their arms and kicking / disembowelling with their huge clawed feet. In the water that translates to holding something under the water.
Big male kangaroos are no joke. Just like males of any herd animal, they will do whatever they can to harm you of they’re threatened.
- Comment on EU seeks defence pact with Australia as tanks head to Ukraine 2 weeks ago:
I know this isn’t a switch to EU away from the US, but strengthening our relationship with EU can only be good IMO.
Probably naive of me but lining up behind the US makes me extraordinarily uncomfortable.
If we actually needed some support it’s pretty much guaranteed that Trump would throw us under the bus.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Designating a country as “uncivilised” is gravely offensive, and immensely arrogant. No country would refer to itself as uncivilised. There are a few which may be lawless, or ungovernable, but uncivilised has connotations that just don’t apply.
- Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why. 2 weeks ago:
She refuses to use pipepipe. IDK why.
- Comment on Questions about selfhosting Git, and making some small scratch on the side. 2 weeks ago:
I like gogs. Automated backups and then deployment seemed super easy with gogs but not so with gitea.
Gitlab seemed like a heavy weight for my needs.
You do you regarding hosting for friends. I wouldn’t do it. I self host as much stuff as I can and I’m happy to bear the responsibility for my own stuff, but taking responsibility for someone elses stuff and access to that stuff is a whole other level.
One thing I’ve learned over the years, is that making something work today is only a small part of the job. Ensuring that it works every day for the next 5 years is the real challenge.
