Werner Von Braun never called himself MechaHitler.

That’s how gasoline spills work. They cover the water about one molecule thick.
- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 1 week ago:
Yeah but good luck holding a sign that says “Don’t shop here, they hire immigrants”.
- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 1 week ago:
Lobby the government to stop doing that. In the meantime, teach them their rights, how to unionize, help them with food security and finding a place to live, so that they aren’t in such a precarious position that makes exploitation so easy.
- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 1 week ago:
The problem is when immigrants from countries with lower labour standards and poorer conditions are effectively used as “scabs”, to suppress wage growth and unionization. And I fear the capitalists who benefit from this are pushing the “you just hate immigrants” narrative to protect it.
- Comment on personal best on facebook 1 week ago:
When my brother was half-awake after raising a baby, he was at the liquor store with his friend to buy a bottle of wine, and the guy at the counter asked “…your ID?” and he heard “Are you ready?” so he just said “Ready for what?” “Your ID!” “Yes I am ready! Let’s go!”
Other guy had to step in and say “he’s very tired, just had a baby”.

Don’t they already do this in most of Europe?
- Comment on Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy 2 weeks ago:
Just do what we do in Canada. Send them threatening letters. It scares 90% of parents into telling their kids to knock that shit off, but they’re toothless and can’t actually do anything, and the remaining 10% still pirate away. Everyone’s happy.

I just hit submit and it spat me back out to the new posts, but mine wasn’t there.
I wasn’t trying to directly upload an image, just directly link to an imgur gifv.

What about !diyelectronics@programming.dev?
I tried there but my posts never showed up. Tried twice. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’m on old.lemmy.world so it looks like old reddit.
- Comment on xkcd #3109: Dehumidifier 2 weeks ago:
Hey thanks, I’ve got tons of cool projects and gifs like these, and I love to share them and read the comments, but I don’t know where to post them on Lemmy. I used to post them to Reddit but they started shadowbanning my github for some reason. Didn’t even find out until the ESP32 mod messaged me and was like “we can’t even manually approve your posts”.
- Comment on xkcd #3109: Dehumidifier 2 weeks ago:
Meanwhile here I am installing ESP32C3’s into everything in my house to automate everything.
I can turn on my floor heat, hallway light, or even open a vent from an app on my phone. And bonus, no shady manufacturers to spy on me. Just China.
- Comment on YSK that 158 families made up 50% of all US Presidential Campaign Spending 2 weeks ago:
People snuck into a military airbase and spray painted an RAF plane the other day and got away with it.
Rich people get complacent. They’re so proud of themselves, so fat and satisfied. They can’t imagine that anyone like us would ever get inside their house, walk their floors, spit in their food.
- Comment on YSK that 158 families made up 50% of all US Presidential Campaign Spending 2 weeks ago:
Should figure out where they live and protest on their street instead of burning down the local 7/11.
- Comment on Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide support 3 weeks ago:
Because US DMCA law has provisions in it about copyright circumvention. Same thing led to the “you can’t repair your own John Deere tractor” debacle.
- Comment on I'm not okay. 3 weeks ago:
Upon further investigation, it appears that only SOME species of fireflies are at risk of extinction. Others are so common they are of “least concern”.
If foreign propaganda bots are bombarding us with doomer memes to instill apathy and depression in the younger generation, this fits.
- Comment on I'm not okay. 3 weeks ago:
Wikipedia says the species near me (southern Ontario) are of Least Concern for extinction:
- Comment on Fine Literature 4 weeks ago:
I don’t understand how Reddit is still alive when they’ve made it impossible for regular human beings to post to it.
The only people willing to go through the effort anymore are the people being paid to.
- Comment on A Completely Natural Conversation in the NYC Reddit 4 weeks ago:
Yeah but also, Whole Foods and Amazon and other companies absolutely are doing this. They’d be stupid not to. The companies that aren’t paying for spam bots online will go out of business soon.

Facebook has been advertising scams and bogus health products to me for a while now.
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 1 month ago:
I’m convinced the whole “your computer will instantly turn into a botnet that cripples children’s hospitals the moment you disable Windows Update” thing is part of Microsoft’s internet propaganda.
Like there are sysadmins for pretty big industries that schedule updates, sometimes once a month or even less frequently. Why aren’t they worried about all the 0-day remote code execution exploits that supposedly exist every single day?
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 1 month ago:
Why doesn’t China, North Korea’s biggest trading partner, pressure them to be less authoritarian?
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 1 month ago:
They’re definitely among the worst.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 1 month ago:
frequently stopping young people on the streets to inspect their phones and review text messages for banned language
I’m really tired of people saying “both sides are the same” when it comes to western capitalist exploitation vs eastern totalitarian authoritarianism.
It’s ironically so privileged to even make the comparison because if it were the same, you wouldn’t have been allowed to make this comment.
- Comment on In North Korea, your phone secretly takes screenshots every 5 minutes for government surveillance 1 month ago:
BBC is a pretty reputable source.

I thought you guys were talking about processed foods. Like potatoes > bread, that kind of thing.

- Comment on German court sends Volkswagen execs to prison over Dieselgate scandal 1 month ago:
In Canada we were told that putting execs in jail would “hurt jobs” and we had to pass a law that said they just get a fine instead.
The execs in question were caught selling hookers to Qaddafi’s son.
