  That’s the holy sea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One gamer got so tired of waiting for Valve, he made his own 'Steam Controller 2' out of Steam Deck parts, and it even splits in half like Switch Joy-Cons⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, my steam controller stopped working, and they don’t make them anymore. Yes, I know I could buy a used one on ebay but I’d rather have a new one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨More microplastics in glass bottles than plastic: study⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what they mean is that the plastic caps were scratched up in storage before being applied to the bottles, so plastic dust on the inside of the cap before it was installed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here's your first look at the rebooted Digg | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure I read the other day that it’s the original founders of Digg (Kevin Rose) who bought back the corpse and are leading this with VC funding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoyed the hell out of that game. My only complaint was that the loot lacked variety, and it was a bit more on rails than what I think of as a proper open world RPG.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t think of any that I wasn’t fully aware of the criticism.

  But I did play No Man’s Sky, Cyberpunk 2077, and Fallout 76 for hundreds of hours each right at launch and enjoyed every moment without significant issues, despite being fully aware of all the hate being thrown at them at the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have used this you are immune to all disease.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In theory, if it worked correctly, it should be hygenic and better for the environment. But as other commenters have mentioned, in reality they get jammed alot and so the same wet section gets used over and over. Or the owners don’t actually wash the roll and it just gets respooled and put back when dry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have used this you are immune to all disease.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. It’s a reusable towel system for drying hands in a public bathroom. It’s basically a really long roll of cloth that is supposed to get pulled down as its used and goes down into another rolld and washed and put back. I haven’t seen one in a really long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Friendica's marketing is terrible.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just tried it. Seems to be fine for me. Just brought me to a login screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Friendica's marketing is terrible.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it feels like its all supposed to be there. But without getting any of my actual friends to make an account, its hard to test any of it out. Though the bigger issue right now is that it seems my instance (friendica.world) is down or dead. The list of other instances is also struggling to load for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Friendica's marketing is terrible.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My complaint about Friendica is that it just doesn’t actually seem to do the part of Facebook that I actually want. At least not very well. I don’t want to see news, current events, memes and crap in that feed. I want to see posts and pictures from IRL friends, life updates, event organization, interest groups, etc. With privacy settings so only actual friends you want see the posts.

  In its current state Friendica seems to just be a skin over mastodon, with some alpha stage friend features.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy.zip 2nd Birthday Giveaway! 🍰⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very cool. Glad I joined up with .zip.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear family⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The freakiest part about this is how believably muskrat’s face photoshops in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The “damn it I forgot, let me google it” option, back then, was looking it up in the set of encyclopedias your family probably had. Or if you didn’t have a set, or needed more elaborate information, you went to the library.

  I remember it was a big deal as a kid when we got the encyclopedia Britannica on CD-Rom. So I could just type in what I was looking for instead of having to try to find it manually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is lemmy so political?!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Andrew Jackson was the cruelest YET. Give Trump more time to cook and we will see.
