• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨somehow i don't make any progress⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no object permanence when it comes to my desktop, and I forget something exists when I don’t see it. So I choose to have tiled windows instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solid advice⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It gives me a reason within an hour of going to bed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is launching a free built-in VPN on Firefox 149 — but with some conditions⁩ ⁨⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if they’re still using Mullvad on the backend for this free VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Birds aren't real⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s gonna be like the Strogg from Quake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Spoon, so I can completely clean my plate. Also prevents crumbs from falling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Theoretically speaking, if one wanted to sail the seas while being not very tech savvy – is using a VPN (Mullvad) enough? I would never, of course… but theoretically?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Mullvad even has their own leak tests on their website. So once you’re connected, just go to the homepage and run a test before doing anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Sound of Contamination: All Analysed Headphones on the Central European Market Found to Contain Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s mildly annoying that they didn’t sort the list alphabetically. Also, they didn’t test AKG, which is what I use for studio headphones. Glad I just got some studio monitors, so now I only use my headphones for additional reference.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don’t have room in the carbon budget for a world war.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And just like carbon credits, they’ll just throw money at it to “offset” the carbon budget.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i was asked to undress and get on all fours on the couch, is that common? (newbie job seeker here)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I waited for 5 seconds for the replies to load before I realized..

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And here I am still waiting for google fiber to reach my part of the neighborhood. I guess another one bites the dust.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lulz⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is ironic because there are other prog bands out there that have far more complicated music. It just happens that Tool is one of the more accessible prog bands to casual listeners, the very ones who claim to like “complex” music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And like RSUs, they’re gonna stagger them over several years so you can’t get the full value when they fire you mid way, not that there’s any value in computes for actual real-life use. lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My backyard faces west and I’d happily fill half of it with plug-in panels if I could.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a notebook with Apple’s bells and whistles. IMO it should be $100 less, at least for the base model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keeping the tally of suicides. Pedestrians vs those in cars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oklahoma is like 49th in education, so…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Bots Appeared After Reddit Partnered with OpenAI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I go there for specific sports subs and my city sub, and I sometimes check the home page just to see what’s going on. There are a lot of posts that look innocent, then usually someone will comment “If <company> was smart, they would use this to market their product”, then the next reply is always “they just did” or “look again”.

  Example: A video of a UPS drivers properly relocating packages left haphazardly (and tossed carelessly) by the Fedex driver who delivered earlier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lead Lemmy developer dessalines@lemmy.ml Appears to Have Had Their Account Compromised After Moderation Actions Raise Serious Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be nice to use a decentralized Reddit like platform not coded by him, but no one else has the time, resources, ability, and/or dedication, to step up.

  You literally mentioned piefed in your next sentence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New study reveals differences between 'Demon Slayer' bamboo muzzle and actual bamboo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t they have just grabbed an actual still from the show instead of an AI-generated image?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the Movie Sinners, how are the vampires able to attack them without being invited in?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess you missed the part where Grace screams “Come on in motherfuckers!” after the vampire threatened to kill/turn her daughter. Then they were able to enter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems you’re expecting it to act as a fruit. Avocados are used as gourmet ingredients in the west. If you want a sweeter application of it, look up southeast asian desserts made from avocado. It’s usually combined with milk, sugar, and sometimes ice to make it cold and refreshing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I gotcha, boss⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lmao I tried searching what else tcp/ip could mean. I gave up after the 5th page of search results. Even ddg’s ai couldn’t come up with an answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users hate NordVPN. Are their criticisms legit?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Most stuff with obnoxious advertising causes me to avoid them, and that’s usually a bad sign. Compare that to Mullvad, who only do pinpoint relevant ads, and they have the receipts that show they actually do what they say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was told it would be a cultural experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  no place to sit and eat

  Jokes on them, I eat right inside the store.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I was told it would be a cultural experience⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  HEB though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aint never seen someone turn off their cellphone at the pump⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use my phone to pay so I never have to use my card at the pump (or in the store).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  See: Alien Earth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forget cereal bars, what's your flavor of drug in the morning?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And no decaf, at least for the ones I’ve seen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨havent had it since friday🫠⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh, it’s a shitposting community. At least she’s posting in the right places. Let people be young and horny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp officially names Mullvad and Amnezia VPN as go-to tools for bypassing censorship⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess the broken clock thing applies for the Mullvad recommendation. I haven’t seen any issues with them and they have had a good track record.
