- 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.
