- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 2 hours ago:
Well, first let me say that you should go to the barber as often as you want, not as often as an average man does.
I personally go every 3 months because I have long hair and only need to get it into a bit of shape regularly. If I had a short hairstyle I would go more often.

It is accessible with your link from Central Europe. They might have slapped a geoblock onto it to disable US access?

Any of these words? Why can't we say "lava" or "from"?
- Comment on Statement on discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol by W3C SocialCG 1 week ago:
ATProto is open. Bluesky is not.
What we currently see is similar to how ActivityPub looked when it was first drawn up as a protocol: when 99% of users were on Mastodon GmbH's server.
The ten thousands of servers came later. And in theory ATProto is defined open enough that it is possible to implement it independently from Bluesky.
- Comment on Loops - short form video with ActivityPub - is now open source! 1 week ago:
Well, it is developed by a sole developer who also solo-develops Pixelfed. The guy spreads himself way too thin, so development moves slow.
- Comment on Top 50 news websites in the US in July: BBC drops five places as paywall introduced; Most report traffic declines. 3 weeks ago:
I was confused there for a second but apparently the BBC has introduced a paywall only for US users. Site is still completely free to read anywhere else, which is why I didnt even realize that there is a paywall.
Which of course means that US Americans could simply VPN their way around it..

HLL let's you play both sides, so I expect this to also do
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 3 weeks ago:
Fediverse Observer says Piefed MAU were 352 in May, 1068 in June and 1615 in July. So thats a rise of ~1300 people in two months.

They have already replied and I see the reply. Maybe different behaviour between Lemmy and Piefed

- Comment on Fediverse Report – #129 - this week's fediverse news 4 weeks ago:
A new research paper on the lemmygrad.ml Lemmy instance, called “Exploring Left-Wing Extremism on the Decentralized Web: An Analysis of Lemmygrad.ml“. Within Lemmy there exists a subculture of various instances, most notably Hexbear and Lemmygrad, that self-describes as Marxist and/or leftist, and partially intersects with the developers of Lemmy. There is interesting research to be done on how that sub-community impacts the wider culture of the Threadiverse. This published paper limits itself to data from 2019 to 2022, which misses out on how these communities and cultures have developed over the more recent years. For example, the Hexbear instance was not federating with the rest of the network for a while, only to turn federation back on over a year ago, and it would be interesting to explore how that has impacted other Lemmy servers.
- Comment on AI IS BURNING THE PLANNET!! 4 weeks ago:
People need to understand that water usage, plastic pollution, Co2 generation and power usage are all different things and just saying "tHe EnViRoNmEnT" isn't helpful. Some of these things matter more than others.
- Comment on Big Updates Are Coming to Loops 5 weeks ago:
Looks like he is putting features into Loops that were originally planned for Pixelfed, but didnt work to implement there (Pixelfed is said to have a very messy codebase, dansup recently said that for weeks he had a broken CI on github).
Sounds nice

I mean, PayPal has not denied responsibility so far. Which is pretty interesting
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 1 month ago:
A lawyer for a processor like PayPal or Stripe could easily have gone "uh, the Mastercard contract clause prohibits this".
And PayPal is well known for doing shitty things, so it wouldn't surprise me.
- Comment on Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brand 1 month ago:
Sounds like Visa and Mastercard have clauses in their contracts that they don't even care about themselves, but payment processors like Stripe are bound to then

- Comment on PSA on privuhcy 1 month ago:
If you run across a link with a regular "?utm_source=.." , that can not tell people anything about you. It simply tells the website "register one click onto this article coming from this specific newsletter we sent out". It does not tie this information to you.
With other tracking things, what is described here is absolutely possible though.
- Comment on ‘Subnautica 2’ Leaders Say Krafton Sabotaged Game Over Payout [new events in the Subnautica 2 story] 1 month ago:
And the dev team for Cities Skylines II kept saying the team felt it was ready, while it was a hot mess. They have an interest in publishing it now.
Launching into early access while not being up to certain standard could hurt the brand.
Now maybe the game was ready and it's all Krafton's fault. All I'm saying is that it is absolutely possible that the game isnt ready.
- Comment on ‘Subnautica 2’ Leaders Say Krafton Sabotaged Game Over Payout [new events in the Subnautica 2 story] 1 month ago:
I mean, both things can be true. Krafton might be trying to weasel out of paying that bonus, and the game might not be ready like it should be.
- Comment on so... dubvee and dubvee tesseract shut down. 1 month ago:
Afaik he tolerated no support for calls for violence whatsoever on his instance. Which is his freedom to do as his line of moderating, but obviously brought him into conflict with the beliefs of many on Lemmy
- Comment on Why doesn't the Trump administration simply edit the Epstein files and release them? 2 months ago:
I wouldnt trust Bondi on anything she says. I think she is just flooding the zone with shit.
And she specifically spoke about videos of Epstein with children; not clients with children.
I have a hard time seeing how they would have gotten hold of those videos when all legal documents from Maxwells case and Epsteins death do not reference videos taken in at all.
- Comment on Why doesn't the Trump administration simply edit the Epstein files and release them? 2 months ago:
There is no "client list" as far as we know. But there are the flight logs, Epstein's addressbook and recovered text messages etc. Those were released heaviky redacted.

- Comment on 2 months ago:
The developers of Fedi software have different philosophies. Some developers are just not interested in implementing and supporting all kinds of AP actors, kinds of media, ways of attaching media etc. Because they want their software to focus on a certain thing.
Others want to implement everything and interconnect with every platform.
