- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 11 hours ago:
Gotta hand it to her, it’s done wonders for recognition. No one’s mistaking the name.
- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 3 days ago:
Because it’s all fake and the authors changed.
- Comment on Reddit stock falls for second day as references to its content in ChatGPT responses plummet 3 days ago:
Yeah reddit’s a weird one. Their financials, aside from this year, are also horrendous. Not sure what value they really bring.
- Comment on Messenger is an absurdly slick, perfectly lovely free pocket world exploration game you can play in a browser 4 days ago:
This blew my mind. What even is the tech stack.
- Comment on A question for the ages 1 week ago:
Settled ages ago. And the legs are on the bun.
- Comment on Costco Confirms It's Removed Xbox Consoles, Calling It A "Business Decision" 1 week ago:
Aren’t tariffs hitting across the board on electronics? Costco is still selling computers, phones, televisions, and other consoles. Seems like this is very much a branding thing.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 1 week ago:
You sure you mean bare metal here? Bare metal means no OS.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 1 week ago:
I really enjoy Ramit Sethi’s take on this; he encourages what he calls living a rich life. Yeah you should look to your financial future but you have to balance it with your life now. It’s sad when you’re limiting yourself out of fear. He’s an advocate for spending where it brings you value (and only you can decide that), and aggressively cutting out the things that don’t.
- Comment on whats your dumb purchases? 1 week ago:
Vehicles are notoriously not investments except for some incredibly exceptional cases. Glad you enjoyed your time with it. That’s the best you can hope for.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 1 week ago:
It’s not vague at all. It’s a classification that needs to meet three criteria. The lack of this classification is why it was taught that pluto was a planet, but once these things were formalized in 2006 it became clear that pluto no longer met the criteria.
- Comment on YSK: there's a browser extension called "SingleFile", which allows you to save a page into a single HTML file. 1 week ago:
I’d imagine some sites with computations and modeling that are more niche. Software cost models, financial planning sites, statistics calculators and the like would be good candidates I would think.
- Comment on Study into inverted versus uninverted controls suggests we can stop having pointless arguments about it 2 weeks ago:
Yes we can.
- Comment on Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates 2 weeks ago:
This is a prime example of legislators not understanding technology.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 4 weeks ago:
Curious to see what you think is the dangerous part for the business side. I see preorders as this holdover from a time when physical media was king and scarcity could (and sometimes did) prevent day one purchases. It certainly makes less sense now for consumers unless you must have the bonuses (if any).
- Comment on Just a reminder that our planet is currently the coolest it will ever be in our, and our children's lifetimes. 1 month ago:
Dude… no
- Comment on Plex server patching required 1 month ago:
What’s the app/smart device adoption like for jellyfin these days? Plex usage for clients is really smooth. Plex comes preloaded on so many smart devices and the app ecosystem is dead simple. I can’t imagine having to walk my family and friends through setting up jellyfin.
- Comment on Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says 1 month ago:
The factors that influence development costs in order to keep up with the quality of the times is no doubt complex, but at the end of the day you’re spot on. It’s only worth what the consumers will pay.
- Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics 1 month ago:
That’s not the article title.
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 1 month ago:
It’s not a big task, and doesn’t take much time. Self hosting is ridiculously easy. There are so many easily deployable containerized git hosting images ready to roll.
- Comment on Great Advertise 1 month ago:
Lemmy is retarded about AI.
- Comment on Think about what today is considered next level vs what it used to be 2 months ago:
CRT contrast ratios were unmatched until plasma. LEDs never compared until OLED. Flat screen CRT HDTVs were amazing.
- Comment on Oatmeal 2 months ago:
Protein Shake! Cute.
- Comment on I require nothing more 2 months ago:
Incompatible with air mattress.
- Comment on (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞ 3 months ago:
I think I get the gist of what you’re saying but they’re very much not arbitrary. They’re a direct manifestation of a state’s ability to exert control.
- Comment on Signal – an ethical replacement for WhatsApp 3 months ago:
Yep. I know the details. I’m tech savvy enough, but I use what my contacts use, and I’m not leaving WhatsApp. Same goes for youtube. The content I consume is there. There is no suitable alternative until the content creators switch. It’s not really about the technology at all.
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 3 months ago:
Never played the first but the second I’ve had since mind numbing gameplay loops that didn’t do it for me.
