What? If pdf wasn’t designed to be edited, why are there pdf editors?
- Comment on Word. 4 days ago:
Submitting anything as an editable format like docx or odt is a bad idea. The moment a document is finished and I give it out of my hands, I turn it into an pdf.
- Comment on Loops publishes their recommender algorithm 1 week ago:
My main problem with Loops is that they develop webui-first. Cool, they have a “for you” feed now. But only on webui. The app is still on it’s release from start of November and doesn’t have this hugely announced feature.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
With the “active” sort, I regularly get posts on top of my feed that were originally made days or weeks ago, but still have discussions going on in the comments. I dont think thats a negative thing at all.
- Comment on Still relevant, hasnt changed much after 2 years 2 weeks ago:
Well no, because app users can’t use it if it is only implemented in the web UI
- Comment on Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update December 2025 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’d echo this sentiment. Also use Voyager rather than WebUI and API bugs can be annoying.
- Comment on Europa Universalis V | Review Thread 1 month ago:
I’m actually surprised. Paradox games usually release bugged and unfinished, and all reviews from critics and players I’ve seen suggest that EUV is both really historical accurate flavoury and fun to play at release!
Good to see!

- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 3 months ago:
What people do in that case is look at pictures of people with various hairstyles online, trying to find one where they feel like “this looks good, I want to try that one”. Or consult with a good hairdresser when you’re there who might have some suggestions of what could fit you. Nowadays there are even apps where one can try to put various hairstyles onto their own picture.
- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 3 months 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.

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 3 months 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! 3 months 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. 4 months 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..

- Comment on Fediverse Report – #129 - this week's fediverse news 4 months 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.

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 4 months 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

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.
