- Comment on The new owner of GOG discusses taking on Steam, the devil of DRM, and following in Nightdive's footsteps 5 days ago:
It’s just a picture for me as well.
- Comment on we need more users 1 week ago:
To be completely honest, Lemmy is kinda dead outside the politics subs and some of the tech ones. When I deleted my reddit account I came here and joined some of the communities I was using reddit for: Pathfinder 2e, RPG, memes, anime. Out of all of them I only see an occasional post from memes while the other ones are literal ghost towns.
- Comment on Steam adds official support for game version-specific Workshop mods 1 week ago:
Yeah but that’s on game devs to enable it. A lot of devs don’t want to because they have deal with people complaining about bugs and issues on older versions that are already fixed in newer versions.
- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 2 weeks ago:
Well here you can get a SIM for very cheap or free if you’re a new signup. No idea about getting a replacement but I assume it’s not as cheap.
- Comment on Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality 2 weeks ago:
The only ones that junk is a danger to is ourselves. Kessler syndrome is no joke.
- Comment on EU lawmakers to study ban 'loot boxes' and other addictive features in video games 2 weeks ago:
Some European countries have banned them already. Belgium and the Netherlands as an example.
- Comment on Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret 2 weeks ago:
Really? In Europe you can get one for free from some providers. And the vast majority offer one for under 15 dollars. And if you pay for it, it already comes with some preloaded data and calls so you can start using it right away.
- Comment on Ars Technica’s Top 20 video games of 2025 2 weeks ago:
I honestly don’t know anyone who has enjoyed Civ VII and my sample group is made up of people that really love strategy games. It’s such a mess compared to past entries in the series. I am surprised to see it in a top 20.
- Comment on Salesforce regrets firing 4000 experienced staff and replacing them with AI 2 weeks ago:
A lot of these companies chase short term gains to look good on their quarterly report. These CEOs were most likely lauded when they presented the lowered costs on that quarterly and most likely got some fat bonuses out of it too. Now that the chickens have come to roost they are scrambling but they can still get away by blaming it on other shit. Even if they do get removes they already made their money through they bonuses and they can find a different position where to fail upwards.
- Comment on Salesforce regrets firing 4000 experienced staff and replacing them with AI 2 weeks ago:
It’s because companies have tricked them into thinking that joining unions means they wouldn’t get paid as well or would restrict their promotions. Also they had it pretty good for a long time as their jobs were in demand which gave them more negotiating power so they got paid better and had more benefits. But now that their jobs are put in danger by AI they are kinda fucked since they individually don’t have the same power anymore, power which they would have as a unionized block.

I assume they will move from UV to X-rays.
- Comment on In 2015, the Fortingall Yew, one of the oldest trees in Europe, decided trans rights are tree rights and switched its sex to female 🏳️⚧️ eat shit transphobes 4 weeks ago:
People have no idea what is or isn’t natural. A lot of animals and plants change sex due to various factors during their life.
- Comment on Maybe most of society doesn't have much critical thinking because those who get those "critical thinking" genes go crazy from overthinking things and therefore fail to pass on the genes. 1 month ago:
Also critical thinking is not equivalent with overthinking.
- Comment on Reddit’s CEO Debuts As A Billionaire 20 Years After Cofounding The Company 2 months ago:
It was a subreddit where redditors would post pictures of underage girls. The images weren’t outright pornographic, they were images some of the members took of unsuspecting girls in public or other locations(I remember there was a teacher posting pictures of his students) or images the girls posted themselves on various social media. Some were suggestive some weren’t but all of them were leered over and discussed by creeps with language that should never used towards minors.
At some point the subreddit came into the attention of Anderson Cooper which run a segment on CNN about it. Even then Reddit refused to ban the subreddit citing “free speech”. Eventually one of the people on the subreddit posted a picture of a minor and said he had naked pictures of her which created a feeding frenzy of creeps asking him for those pictures. This finally made Reddit ban the subreddit.
The guy that created the subreddit, Violentacrez, was also the “victim” of an expose by Gawker who found out his real life identity. Reddit tried protecting him by banning links to Gawker when the article came out. Before all that Reddit gave him an award and various redditors voted him as the best moderator or some shit like that. Besides /r/jailbait he was running a lot of other questionable subreddits.
- Comment on During the lead up to the Holocaust did the N... regime just kidnap people who they even thought were Jews? Kind of like ICE is doing to citizens today? 2 months ago:
It was a process. They started by forbidding Jews from holding certain jobs like doctors, judges, lawyers and and also public jobs. They then pass the Nuremberg Laws that restricted citizenship to Germans and made it mandatory for Jews to wear specific marks on their clothes that marked them as Jewish (the yellow Star of David was one but there were others). Then they required Jews to live only in specific parts of cities, the ghettos. The last step just consisted of them coming and grabbing everyone from the ghettos and everyone that was wearing the marks, the groundwork had been already set.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 2 months ago:
If OpenAI goes down then it will start a domino effect as people lose confidence in AI and AI companies. That’s how the bubble pops.
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 2 months ago:
The difference between 100 million and 11.5 billion is about 11 billion. If you own a bank 11 billion that’s not only that bank’s problem, it’s the economy’s problem.
- Comment on Sora might have a 'pervert' problem on its hands 2 months ago:
Who could have seen this coming?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Please make a report. Even if he had a previous case that was closed it will still show up and can help establish a pattern of behaviour which can make it easier to obtain stuff like restraining orders.
And make sure to talk to a lawyer, they can advise you much better than any answer you can get online. You can also ask the lawyer to make sure that any photos he may have uploaded to porn sites or watever are taken down.
Stay safe and make sure to tell the kid that she did the right thing speaking out. Hope it works out for you both.

Damn, I didn’t realize our comments on a random lemmy instance have the same power as Elon Musk’s billions.

So I guess it was only UK ones. For some reason I thought they were asking pictures in the US too.

So are they going to ban Tylenol? Isn’t it one of the most common OTC painkillers?
- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 4 months ago:
You can just bypass those hardware requirements fairly easily. There are a bunch of guides out there.
Here’s one from Tom’s Hardware. tomshardware.com/…/bypass-windows-11-tpm-requirem…
It even shows how to make a install media that doesn’t require the checks so you can just install it no issue.
Though fair warning that some of those requirements they have are good for security purposes so your installs may not be as secure.
Win 11 is still pretty ass though and bloated to hell. I instead got myself a LTSC version of Win10 instead which will get updates until 2032 or something like that. That gives me enough time to figure out if I want to install Linux or IDK I’ll just die before that, either one is fine.

But have you thought about all those CEOs and bilionaires of the world?
- Comment on What's going on with imgur right now? 4 months ago:
Not anymore. They turned it into it’s own social media. They have comments and stuff and apparently a lot of them really hate reddit lol.

Those are ROMAN numerals.
- Comment on Are you winning? 4 months ago:
Having actual people read your chats is so 2015. They probably have some shitty LLM doing it now, Grok probably.

Ok, but besides fruits, wood, oxygen, soil fixation, spice truffles and shade, what have the trees ever did for us?
