• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it would allow you to end the commercial early, it would kind of be genius. “Watch this 2 minute ad or say ‘I love McDonald’s’ to immediately continue watching” is something that definitely would work. It would get these phrases or slogans ingrained while providing a better viewing experience.

  Don’t get me wrong, I would hate it as much as anyone any other lemmy user. However from a marketing perspective it’s pretty solid while a significant percentage of the viewership would not only participate, but laud it as a good solution to skip the forced commercials.

  That wart or whatever it is, is not an ear or normal part of the bird. Beautiful nonetheless.

  Meanwhile I strongly suspect our legal reviewer of using chatgpt to review contracts, because he sends some laughably stupid comments that look fully AI generated.

  To abscond should be in more peoples vocabulary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone old enough to have used this before GPS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  By the time I started driving, we already had gps, but I do remember my dad pulling those folder or foldable maps when driving somewhere for the first time. His advice on how to read these things was “Look for the river crossings. It usually doesn’t matter much which road you take, you will always end up at the same crossings.”

  And this is why, when planning a road trip in the pre-waze days, I would always check the river crossings first and when is a low traffic time to cross them, because you don’t want to be stuck for 2 hours because an ungodly amount of drivers need to be squeezed through a narrow tunnel.

  But nowadays it’s hardly relevant anymore, only to make sure you don’t take too long of a lunch/dinner break or get stuck in said situation.

  It’ll be quantum computing. Since the last hype around it, a lot of progress has been made to the point that quantum computers are actually becoming useful, since error correction is now mostly resolved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft lost $357 billion in market cap as stock plunged most since 2020⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I initially thought he was great. Their cloud business was booming, it looked like they were converging their tools, windows 10 had its flaws but was pretty good. But now the tools are an enormous mess because they have changed their minds 5 times over, Windows 11 is complete dogshit and all the tools that are actually handy are paywalled behind expensive licences. Copilot is being forcefed to unwilling users and every single one of their tools is becoming worse.

  So yea, I think he’s a business illiterate because there is no strategy behind this mess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Question for the Americans. If Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, or Greenland dropped a nuke on Washington DC, would you be angry at the bomb dropper, or would you think we had that coming?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Listen mate, the capital of Greenland is literally Nuuk. Isn’t it always winter there? As if it were a man-made nuclear winter? The Americans merely built the bomb, but the Greenlanders are the bomb. Don’t open your mouth against the Inuit or they will intuit a nuke into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do we ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be honest, those baby on board stickers are pretty dumb. Nobody goes “This car doesn’t have a baby on board, awesome, now I can break check them like a maniac”.

  A friend of mine is also left handed and I only found out when we started a game of darts and he switched hands. Under communism writing with the left hand was not allowed for some reason.

  I remember reading somewhere you can do this with cruises. When you are on the border UMT -11 and -12, you can have 2 and that leaves you 22 hours to travel to the border of +11 and +12. You might even squeeze an extra celebration out.

  I didn’t have the option either. Waiting for the renewal to come up and switching to Nextcloud with Proton.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  2 years ago I went to youtube without logging into my account. The amount of right wing manosphere crap being recommended to new accounts was frightening. Within 5 minutes there was a video playing of how women should be subservient to men because their role is basically a house cleaning baby factory with no free will.

  I genuinely think google should be sued the everliving shit out of them for allowing this crap to be pushed. They looked at what facebook did and went “Oh, that’s great. Let’s do that as well!”

  I’m still convinced he’s a sith lord, so I think he doesn’t talk as weird as he does when he’s not playing the bumbling idiot. But I probably would still prefer to look like him just in case.

  They build their homes in the pond out of reach of predators like wolves or bears. They also dig escape routes from their den under the water. They’re herbivores so it’s not for fish, btw.

  The hole for the tool (I actually don’t know the proper name) is small enough for ants to get through.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got 3 of those at home (actually got one as a gift last week) but we don’t use it because the open honey jar attracts ants. So we use spoons. I do like it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Always wear protection, folks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought my wife noise cancelling ear plugs for sleeping because I (in her words) snore like a pig. She has several recordings to back that up. So I bought her these noise cancelling earplugs (Soundcore A20 in case anyone is interested) in the hopes it will allow her to sleep. I will eventually get surgery done for it, because I also have apnea. She hasn’t put them to the test yet because it’s not always that she can’t sleep, but I hope they will serve her well.

  Not for himself, as he just joined the billionaire club. I would probably have ruined it for a billion as well, if I’m being completely honest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russian ambassador slams EU frozen assets plan for Ukraine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like Russia one bit, but there would be serious consequences (undermining the trust in the euro as a financial asset) that would have long term negative consequences, not to mention the dubious legality of the plan concocted by the European Commission and the fact that any EU country can veto the extension of the sanctions (Hungary or Slovakia being the most likely culprits) which would mean the funds are free again.

  I think the Europe should finance Ukraine, but this is the wrong mechanism to do so. The only politically viable way is through bilateral country-to-country financial support, where the EC can play a coordinating role.

  But the seizing of the frozen assets is just not going to work, as every lawyer involved has already stated multiple times and not a single competent finance minister in the EU (or anywhere really) would ever agree to it.
