• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So how would you handle this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Sir, this community is called “lemmyshitposts”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Linux kernel is just a program⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That was my reaction as well. It’s a fun headline, but a kernel is not “just a program”. To try to assert it’s like a normal program forces you to question your definition of a program. If I hold a voltimeter and switch between hot and cold wires, am I a program now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sound alike your first task is to list out all the meanings of colon and figure out which one of them looks like wheels when turned sideways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s an iOS game about the history of fonts you might enjoy. Struggling to find it at the moment, but you play a colon navigating through time, solving various puzzles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There should be a 'Political Showerthoughts': so there's a place for such thoughts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Would absolutely love to see political nonsense off this sub. If there’s a new sub for it, whatever, I definitely wouldn’t subscribe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overwatch 2 Is Just 'Overwatch' Again And Five New Heroes Arrive Next Week⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There used to be an r/EmreMains when the name first appeared in lore. That must have been almost 5 years ago, and now they’ve finally released the hero. I don’t know what they expected, but I’d figure that almost everyone who was there previously has moved on, I certainly have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Overwatch 2 Is Just 'Overwatch' Again And Five New Heroes Arrive Next Week⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But not Global Offensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work smarter, not harder⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Use a newer company, say you worked at Theranos or FTX.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VS Code for Linux may be secretly hoarding trashed files⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My favorite fun fact about VSCode is it stores all its cache files in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Distraction⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  NGL I completely forgot that happened for the past week. I can’t believe he’s still in custody and nothing’s happened lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If there’s any company that will survive the bubble, it’s Anthropic. They’re the only company with a product, a business model, and customers that see long-term value in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3202: Groundhog Day Meaning⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a good holiday because it has the responsibility to not have a facade. What even is Christmas? A solstace celebration? A celebration of the natural forest? The birthday of someone who was probably born early fall? An excuse to give children gifts? Idk anymore man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Bill Gates get involved in a scandal, is it now called a Billgate?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem isn’t the -gate suffix, it’s that we’ve had a once-in-a-decade scandal each month for the last 10 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨General tso chicken is just chinese 10 piece nuggets with McDonald's bbq.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No cleanup bro!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We could build a solar lazer with a ton of mirrors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think his argument only holds for lenses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon discovered a 'high volume' of CSAM in its AI training data but isn't saying where it came from⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But if they’re uniquely good at producing CSAM, odds are it’s due to a proprietary dataset.

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

  Glad to finally see some uplifting news this month.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sexting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there a downside?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s wild that Steam is getting a class action lawsuit for charging 30% right now, and Apple doing shit like this at the same percentage and legally is getting a free pass.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google to pay $68m to settle lawsuit claiming it recorded private conversations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But definitely enough money to make it clear they were 100% guilty and knew it was gonna brutal if the case got to discovery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Real and True⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a software repo with multiple files that are over 5000 lines, IG wouldn’t fit on 10 monitors. I may concede my predicesors who made it this way have a mental illness, but I have to get work done, and it requires reading that file on an appropriately large monitor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨saturday wisdom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If someone sticks their butt in my face, they don’t get a free pass cuz their pants aren’t pulled all the way down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨saturday wisdom⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that one seat is up is even worse. Imagine you’re sitting down pooping and someone comes up and pees standing up with their ass in your face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hatred for new accounts on Lemmy is related to people's inability to debate the merit of a post on its own so they engage in ad hominem and strawmen fallacies to weaponize their weak arguments.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not a shower thought. In fact, this opinion piece isn’t even a single thought. I’m not sure why some posts on this sub routinely have nothing to do with showers or thoughts, but I’m sick of it. I didn’t sub here for personal opinions on politics of how Lemmy operates. I would enjoy Lemmy a lot more if posters kept to the community’s subject area.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨15 years after Fukushima, Japan prepares to restart the world’s biggest nuclear plant⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For the record, the Fukashima disaster led to a number of new regulations that would have prevented the meltdown it had at a number of levels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If tomato is a fruit then lasagna is a fruit tart.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some people in the Midwest who like to put a slice of cheddar on top of their pie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows users keep losing files to OneDrive, and many don't know why⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I often wonder what Microsoft thinks their users do. I’m offline on my computer all the time, whether it’s a plane flight or at a place without good WiFi, there’s no replacing offline capabilities. Even when I am online, I don’t live in silicon valley where there’s fiber optic everywhere, and most Comcast users still live with a data cap, I don’t want to offload everything onto my internet connection. OneDrive is supposed to be a tool to make switching computers and traveling easier, but the result of how they manage it is the opposite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pet Peeves with Games?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When you first start playing, you should be in a room that’s moderately graphically intense and you can stand there indefinitely doing nothing. I need some time to dial in my graphics settings and controls. I hate when a game immediately drops you into a combat situation and I’m joining the action 5 seconds at a time as I twiddle with settings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your technology mispredictions?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My Steam Deck is basically that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That time Apple sent everyone a U2 album: 'I DONT WANT YOU.'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  U2 also devalued their art by deciding to make what was undoubtedly their worst album up to that point. I’m a U2 fan and I was annoyed by the album being in my library.
