• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘There isn’t really another choice:’ Signal chief explains why the encrypted messenger relies on AWS⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but you can have redundancy though. Obviously it comes with a cost, and I don’t know if Signal can afford it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When HR has to even ruin the company Halloween Party⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The dedication to bring an entire wheelbarrow to the office is commendable though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Punch Man S3 Director Shinpei Nagai deletes his twitter account due to the pressure, calls out people who took his tweets out of context/exploited the staff's struggles for "rage-baiting"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen it yet because I have yet to watch S2, but people calling it One png Man or One Slide Man gave me a chuckle. Shouldn’t be harassing anyone fot it though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon to replace 600,000 US workers by 2033 with robots⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s insane to me that you also get charged for pulling your data out. And it’s not cheap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was I thinking?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Same with putting air in the tires, especially with the change of seasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just guessing, but maybe content creators that focus on those niche topics are generating those for their videos?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And I'm not sorry.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also wasted a lot of time, fuel, and manpower having an entire boat and crew looking for a jewel she had on her the entire time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with breakfast in bed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve read that it helps protect your teeth from all the acidic food you’re gonna eat for breakfast, not necessarily for “hygiene” purposes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not paying $8 for a pack of Skittles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but the statement wasn’t saying anything about where their income comes from, just that bringing your own snacks to the movies is like bringing food to a restaurant. Cinemas deliver movies as their primary product if we’re looking at it from the customer’s perspective. So following the logic, bringing your own food to a restaurant would equate to going to the cinema to watch a movie on your phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm not paying $8 for a pack of Skittles⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Putting aside the real reason is they don’t earn much from the movies themselves and profit more from concessions, his logic doesn’t even make sense lmao.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has anyone noticed these new spam techniques used by music channels on youtube?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Using their own music, as in songs? Just guessing, but they’re probably using the videos to get people to click, and they earn money from their music being streamed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Picasso painting vanishes en route to Spanish exhibition⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just wait for it to turn up in some billionaire’s wall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Season 1 of Chainsaw Man Now Available on Crunchyroll YouTube Channel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, so they have different subtitles than what Netflix uses? Makes sense that they employ their own translators, but it never really crossed my mind that there’s no “official” subtitles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Strengthen your core. Lower back pain in your mid-30s is a bitch. Also, take care of your teeth and floss everyday. Start investing early. Any amount you can set aside, no matter how small, will payoff if you start early.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At somepoint in human history there was likely a day where not a single human died.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We can tell from mitochondrial DNA.

  Damn, what a powerhouse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[META] Is it ok to ask for advice here?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Immigrant visas generally fall under 3 general categories: work, school, or marriage. There’s also an investor visa for some countries which requires a lot more money because you literally buy your way into the country.

  School is the “easiest” to get your foot in assuming you can afford it.

  Work is the most convenient because you get to hit the ground running (income and sometimes relocation perks). If you can get a company based there to hire you, assist with your visa application, and help you relocate, it’s much easier.

  Marriage obviously is easy if you can get someone to fall in love with you.

  All of these require a visa that you need to apply for. And many countries have limits/restrictions (i.e. only certain highly needed jobs are allowed and you can’t just get whatever random job). So decide first which category you want to pursue, then look up the requirements to apply for a visa on the appropriate consulate’s website. Good luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VPN Comparison 2.0⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I run it on my router so I can put as many devices as I want on the vpn. I need a wireguard config file for that use-case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Never saw this before and it's funny⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if anyone has actually used that. It’s basically saying “follow me home and rob me”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VPN Comparison 2.0⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a Mullvad user and was curious about trying Nym because of the payment model. No wireguard config might be a dealbreaker though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crunchyroll is releasing all five hours of Chainsaw Man for free on YouTube so everyone can catch up before the Reze Arc movie⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it feel like an actual movie, or like a bunch of episodes strewn together?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my anecdotal experience on my tv, the algorithm bleeds through accounts as well. Like a video that is more related to the content on one account is recommended on the other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sora AI Slop is here⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw a similar video but with a raccoon instead. Wow, I wonder if that was AI as well, or if it was the original this one was patterned after.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No account? No Windows 11 for you, says Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty soon Windows will basically just be a thin client but somehow requires the resources of a full blown computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Long is Too Long for a Reply?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unlike reddit where the turnover of content is very quick (i.e. don’t bother commenting on a popular post if it’s more than 2 hours old), lemmy/piefed is slower and a lot of people still sort feeds by active and scaled. So commenting on a very old post can very well still be noticed by other people, let alone the person who posted it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VTuber Graduation⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even know what a vtuber retirement is. When they stop streaming?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kya⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What about those Uber and Lyft LED signs drivers put on the dash? Are those banned also?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kya⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  my brother in law keeps one of these in the door pocket in his truck

  Is it printed with the back of the hand on the other side? Because if that’s the front, it looks like he’s giving himself the finger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is endorsing the use of personal Copilot in workplaces, frustrating IT admins⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Copilot is disabled by default in my company. And there’s literally a new policy/guideline about the use of AI/LLM in the workplace being released every month because of how rapid changes are happening. Not that employees aren’t allowed to use them at all, but are restricted in what they are allowed to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨even Crunchy roll is tired⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never heard of this show until I started seeing the memes. Why is it so universally hated?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Episode] The Summer Hikaru Died • Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu - Episode 12 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh damn I forgot the last episode is today. I’ll watch it tonight and will come back for my thoughts.
