What do you like about the switch pro controller? it has always felt cheap to me.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 2 weeks ago:
Dawkins has decided that he’s culturally christian and that trans people are bad. He’s dragged basically everyone that didn’t leave from the new atheists time with him.
- Comment on Note: before tariffs 2 weeks ago:
Pokémon fans are a different breed. GameFreak could literally release a game worse than gen 1 and it would be a fight to the bottom to see how they could defened it.
- Comment on What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
Thats super impressive. I need to take a look at hosting a personal instance just for the fun of it if its really what it costs.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. I’ve seen way more people correcting someone for using the wrong word when it is obvious what they meant instead of responding to what they’ve said and I think that is a big indicator of the kind of people that are joining.

I haven’t been here for that long (start of december) but I feel like I have felt the obvious shift as more reddit people have joined the site.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
Why specifically creatives? There are so many other professions that are more important to someones everyday life and no one seems to hold the same vitriol at them valuing their time that people do for creatives. I don’t see people suggesting that nurses get a day job and do nursing on the side.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
Do you think the same thing about people who work for basically any company? Because they are way more directly responsible for the actions of their corporation than the average person that makes 50k a year between AdSense and sponsors.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 2 weeks ago:
Yeah there are a lot of factors at play. I have YT premium because my parents still pay for a family plan even though I am out of the house so I don’t think I’ll be getting off YT for a while at least.
Nebula also doesn’t have a comment section which is invaluable when someone makes a mistake or you disagree with someone on a point.
- Comment on YSK: You can block almost all cookie popups with Ublock Origin. 2 weeks ago:
I turned basically all of the optional filters on a few days ago at the advice of another lemming and I did not even realise until now that the internet had gotten noticeably less annoying.

They can not keep themselves out of drama for more than 6 months at a time. The whole situation with M left a bad taste in my mouth even though they were found legally clean. All of the other dramas that have occurred that might not be such a big deal on their own, but when they are all coming from one company it starts to paint a picture.

The big problem with PeerTube(PT) is that there is no advertising. As it stands now people are burning money in order to run a PT instance and YouTube(YT) was not at all profitable for many years so it is unlikely that PT ever will be unless people start being willing to pay for people to upload their content to PT. There are ways that you could make PT profitable but it would end up making it into something more similar to Patreon or Nebula.

LTT is very sure that following the FBIs recommendation for always using an adblocker is piracy for one example.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 3 weeks ago:
I will never understand people who identify as leftist that refuse to understand that under our current economic model people require money to survive and if they do not get money for doing their creative work they might not be able to continue making that work.
It is not selfish to want to be payed for working on something like a video that in some cases takes hundreds of man hours of work to complete. There is a reason that the quality of content available on youtube has gone up massively. Say what you want about the writing but there is no way that something like helluva boss could ever have been made entirely online before youtube.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think I’ve played a new triple A game in over 5 years. If the steam deck can play modded Minecraft it will have more hours than the switch oled I got right after they released.

If there are only fElon fan boys going I’ll take the hit and go to open the airlock halfway through.

There’s no way there isn’t some weird translation error happening.

We really are capturing the reddit crowd.
- Comment on Google To Allow Double Serving Ads. 3 weeks ago:
Light pollution makes me so sad. You have to get so far away from cities to not have the all encompassing glow of the cities to not affect your view of the sky.
- Comment on Google To Allow Double Serving Ads. 3 weeks ago:
Ad companies are often payed on “impressions” which bots that click on a link can count as. Or they are payed upfront for a ad campaign in both of those cases the incentive is to make it seem like as many people are clicking the link as possible.

I use the aquaphor sunscreen ones and they are the only ones that have had a continuous positive effect on my lips.

What about all of those routers?
- Comment on Another 122.88TB SSD just launched and this one comes from an obscure Chinese startup you've probably never encountered 3 weeks ago:
I feel like we may have hit a temporary halt on memory getting cheaper. I have an 8TB HDD and the prices of them have remained remarkably steady for how long I have had it.

Whatever do you mean empress is completely well adjusted person who has never said anything questionable even once.
/s in case that was necicary

I’ll never get that mindset. Just fucking pirate it if you need to play it that bad.

That’s part of the reason magsafe is now everywhere. Can’t misalign it if they self correct.

What WM if I may ask.

I just got my keyboard in and I explicitly got one that I can easily take places so it won’t be an issue.
- Comment on Secure encryption and online anonymity are now at risk in Switzerland 3 weeks ago:
Can we just be realistic and understand that most people can’t/won’t do this. Most people do not have the time/technical knowhow to host everything themselves.

The fuck is wrong with you? Karma is designed to be addictive and make you want to make content for reddit. It’s why the amount of karma per post is capped so hard
