Australian here. Limit is 100km/h? Fine, set cruise to 100 and relax. Not fast enough? Tough, that’s your problem. (but we get fined for 3km/h over here.)
- Comment on AOL’s dial up internet takes its last bow, marking the end of an era 5 days ago:
Now to hook two modems to two computers and get them to ‘talk’ over WhatsApp…
Would that be a VPN tunnel of sorts?
- Comment on Chick? Cock? Both. Definitely both 2 weeks ago:
Glazed.

I'm thinking 'Fedder.'
One who Feds.

We have become The Feds!

Now I'm wondering if you can attach a projector to a Wang terminal...

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 month 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 1 month 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 2 months 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.

- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 2 months 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 2 months 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? 2 months 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 2 months ago:
Well, it works with ice cream.
- Comment on What is piefed? 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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? 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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.
