Now I'm wondering if you can attach a projector to a Wang terminal...
- Comment on advertisement 1 week ago:
I suppose "bullshit magic beans" means we can eat grass now?
- Comment on Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain' 1 week ago:
Bitcoin cash maybe as it's not limited to a small block size, but as others have said, there are probably better options out there now.

- Comment on Roku launches Howdy, a $2.99 ad-free streaming service 2 weeks ago:
Roku via telstra bricked by Telstra TV box that I was using to watch mp4 channels on an older set.
Never trusting that brand again.
TPB FTW.

Not a problem in the forest. The parrots eat the all.

You're welcome! I like my floss to stay the same price.
- Comment on Be nice 3 weeks ago:
Most cryptos are deflationary. That seems to cause hoarding.
Having no inflation sounds good to me if paired with no growth in population, but I know little about economics.

Who am I to diss a brie?
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 4 weeks ago:
Reminds me of my senior teaching days 15 years ago. Solitaire, same.exe and saddam.exe and whack.exe soon had those oldies clicking, double clicking and dragging.
Didn't think then that the situation could reverse.
Same still exists on Android and is still a brain twister.

- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 4 weeks ago:
Couldn't people just hire a VPS in another country and VPN with that using Wireguard etc, or even use RDP etc to it? Is it even a VPN if you're remotely operating a computer in another country?
- Comment on Can no longer access my old instance (lemmings.world) because I'm from the UK. I made several communities there. Is there any way I can mod them again or do I move them to this instance? 4 weeks ago:
I've not had any issues with them. It's a pretty user friendly VPN app, and having a small allowance you can test it with before buying is pretty handy. Most other VPNs you have to pay up before you can test them AFAIK.

Tunnelbear has a free 2GB a month one - not enough for a lot of use probably, but an easy to test if a paid VPN will do what you need.
- Comment on cold 4 weeks ago:
Well, it works with ice cream.
- Comment on What is piefed? 4 weeks ago:
Others have covered most.
For me the one killer feature is grouping of duplicate articles over multiple instances into one post, with comments from all istances listed therein.
This takes away the ghost town feeling of Lemmy, and the frustration of seeing the same post multiple times while scrolling.
The one bad thing is we can't upload images to posts or comments, so it's several steps forward, one step backwards.

Complex head.
- Comment on WhatsApp is dropping its native Windows app in favor of an uglier web version 5 weeks ago:
I never installed their app on Windows. I figured it could just randomly watch what I was doing, log keystrokes, view websites and history etc. I don't know if I'm misunderstanding how much Windows apps can spy on each other - they don't seem to ask for permissions etc.
- Comment on LibreOffice calls out Microsoft for using "complex" file formats to lock in Office users 5 weeks ago:
Not entirely sure. Was probably a brain fart.
I guess quantum computers? A million monkeys and a million terminals can create a docx.
- Comment on How active is too active while being on lemmy? 5 weeks ago:
You'll become a microwave, an ICQ flower, or a name in boxed letters :)
- Comment on LibreOffice calls out Microsoft for using "complex" file formats to lock in Office users 5 weeks ago:
I'm thinking more of pattern matching and rapid testing of variants etc, not the LLM stuff.
- Comment on LibreOffice calls out Microsoft for using "complex" file formats to lock in Office users 5 weeks ago:
I wonder if this is something AI could figure out. Some sort of file converter that can load the doc in office 365 and 'figure out' how what tomfoolery was used this time.
- Comment on Why do people hate coldplay? 5 weeks ago:
It wasn't a real question :)
I was having fun with the lyrics"look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh
How did get eyes get so red
And what he hell is on Joey's head?"I was also lazy and didn't look up her name so I could try to rhyme the 'head' line.

Well done with that quick photoshop job!
How did their faces get so red?

It was only a tribute?

Hehe

I let Chrome deal with it, but wonder what happens if someone steals %appdata% these days.
