  First time of heard of SoundCloak. Pretty cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eating would be weird if we didn't enjoy it.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I know someone who has an issue with his sense of taste that most things are bland to him, so he doesn’t really enjoy eating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would you do in this scenario?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Pest control company maybe? Not sure if they’ll be willing to mess with live wires though. Probably good to mention that when you first call so they know what they’re dealing with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesseract is shutting down⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The average Lemming has the nuance of a wrecking ball

  He’s not wrong lol. I can imagine how much worse it is as an admin. It’s unfortunate that Tesseract is going down with the ship. I remember I was among the first to provide feedback when he first posted it on lemmy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesseract is shutting down⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re on desktop, Alexandrite is great. The 2-column view really maximizes screen real estate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Radiation is a literal Lovecraftian Monster⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds similar to the film adaptation of the Annihilation novel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Tyre wouldn’t be amused with this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That went way better than I expected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Barbers HATE this one simple trick⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude didn’t even shower to save on water bills.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Companies That Tried to Save Money With AI Are Now Spending a Fortune Hiring People to Fix Its Mistakes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just watched an interview of Karen Hao and she mentioned something along the lines of executives being oversold AI as something to replace everyone instead of something that should exist alongside people to help them, and they believe it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It does happen in some third world countries. Not sure for LA though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that to get higher-quality information in your searches, you can search specifically for PDF files. You do this by appending "filetype:pdf" to your query⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly you didn’t read the post. You need to add filetype:pdf for the best results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the "White Power Ranger" seem like an odd title?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I grew up calling them “<color> ranger”. I don’t think anyone, at least in my part of the world at the time, called each member in full as a power ranger; only as a group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I require nothing more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Needs a recliner and tv and I’m set.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's Topic Is. I'll post a random topic every day, you share your thoughts and opinions regarding that topic.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  !todaystopicis@lemmy.world, to make it easier to access from the client you’re using.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I want a community to exist like 4chan greentext here⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a 4chan equivalent that uses activitypub, I just forgot the name.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would I repurpose a work laptop?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The first two things you need to do first are:

  • Make sure you are not going to be legally liable for keeping that laptop with you even after getting let go. It’s unfair, but even if it was their fault they forgot to take it back, you might get sued.

  • After making sure the first point is clear, wipe it thoroughly in case there are tracking/monitoring tools on it.

  Once both are done, then do whatever you want with it. Nobody cares if you install Windows on it or dual-boot it with Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chocolate chip is a great cookie, but only if it's melty. If it's crunchy, it's just an average cookie.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Crunchy is fine as long as there’s a generous amount of chunky chocolate chips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ahem, well well⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t hear the answer because I use “great question” to stall and deflect because I don’t know the answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you work for a company owned by a A..hole⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s true, but this directs them to the owner anyway, which is the same thing. It just goes to someone else. If this was actually anti-bribery policy, gifts should not be accepted full stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come back later when they are finished and starting to deflate⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember to call a doctor if it lasts more than 4 hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nostalgia hit me.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m assuming it’s this part?

  Harvard gained notoriety as an Internet meme on 4chan, where she became known as Creepy-chan

  Not sure about the connection to the caption in the post though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy.zip Server Update July 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t know user settings can be very large. Isn’t it just subscriptions and saved posts/comments?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MrBeast scraps AI YouTube thumbnail generator days after announcing it: 'If creators don't want the tools, no worries'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s his eyes. He smiles but if you cover the bottom half of his face, all traces of a happy or pleasant look from the smiling disappears. A genuine smile also makes the eyes “smile”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m talking out of my ass, but I’m assuming it’s because of indexing. Operating Systems nowadays use indexing for searching your system, and it can be fast IF the file you’re looking for was indexed. That’s why it routinely re-indexes your entire system. It might take longer if the file wasn’t included. With file systems getting larger exponentially, indexing can be more efficient. Whereas before, the OS literally just goes over all your files to find a match.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do I stop itching?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hydrocortisone cream. I don’t know how I can live without that magic cream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doctors are using unapproved AI software to record patient meetings, investigation reveals⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s wrong with Apple Notes?

  I assume it’s because of HIPAA requirements. The doctor is essentially recording patient information into his private Apple account. Obviously that depends on what info he was putting there. If it was just mundane stuff like scheduling, then it’s probably fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wtf⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “I don’t know why they’re running, but let’s chase them!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The balance of security and privacy sounds weird when privacy IS security.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All privacy is security, but not all security is privacy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. residential solar on the brink of collapse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I got an email from our solar panel company that they’re filing for bankruptcy. I just hope whoever picks them up doesn’t jack up lease prices to make up for it.
