- Comment on China Is Banning Tesla-Style Retractable Door Handles Over Safety Concerns 21 hours ago:
Next can we outlaw touchscreens? I’m guessing they are far more dangerous in the end.

This is a funny bit of kit in that the addition of gold actually makes me trust it’s actual quality for the job less.

No lowballing, I know what I have.

I’m super happy for you.
- Comment on What the Linux desktop really needs to challenge Windows 4 days ago:
For gaming and home use I think Windows will die off. But I see precious few enterprise customers who are willing to consider Linux desktops for anyone other than sysadmins or programmers. Some will allow Macs for general users but I’ve never seen one that allows Linux.

- Comment on Random idea: a federated alternative to Amazon Prime built from independent shops? 4 days ago:
There are actually 2. One is being more blatant about this and enshittifying. The other one is trying ads/subscription. I use the second.

We have this in Czechia. Search engines that aggregate many small web shops together into a single search. Then you can go to whichever shop has the best deal or whatever. It’s what we use locally instead of Amazon, and I always feel much better giving my money directly to the small specialty shops.
- Comment on Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views? 5 days ago:
PieFed is newer so maybe missing a couple features with some clients, but in general is much better managed and more actively developed. It will win in the end IMO.

It’s the Communist tradition to force it on people because they don’t want anything to do with it otherwise.

Move to PieFed

You are correct, sir. I find it a lot funnier this way.

This unites the Germanic and Uralic languages in by far the most important cultural way.
- Comment on The invention of smartphones probably made the idea of international travel less intimidating since you now have a pocket translator tool and can find your way in a foreign place with GPS navigation. 1 week ago:
As someone who traveled extensively before and after, it’s a huge difference. I traveled Europe for 6 months with no mobile phone whatsoever. Only paper maps and pay phones and no hotel reservations. That was a proper adventure. Now there’s essentially nothing that can go wrong.

Sometimes North Koreans also smuggle themselves out to get them too.
- Comment on IT'S TIME! 1 week ago:
We had The Hill. They outlawed smoking on campus so everyone would go across the street and stand on this hill to smoke. It had a fence behind it that you could jump if you wanted to smoke weed or drink.
- Comment on Jimmy Carr on Why Everyone Is Wrong About AI 2 weeks ago:
Using it for authoritarianism, sure… But the end state I’m concerned with is a private company building a fleet of robots so big that it can take on a police force or army and win. And then subjugate the population with or just kill everyone off (because who needs everyone else now that there’s a robot army do do whatever you want). I definitely wouldn’t put it past Elon, Theil, Alex Karp, etc. One of those fuckers would probably do it if they could.

About time. That and AmigaOS I think. What a world we’d live in!

- Comment on It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects 2 weeks ago:
About 30 years ago I went to the Edinburgh festival and in one of the bars met a farmer from the north of Scotland. I literally talked to him for 10 minutes before I made out more than a word of what he was saying.

To be fair it would probably shoot right across the floor and someone would slip on it and shoot it right out the door.

I’m the dribble of drool from a baby’s mouth every so often.
- Comment on who is searching this 2 weeks ago:
I do wonder if this isn’t where the whole “kiss a toad and he turns to a prince” thing comes from, someone kissing a psychedelic toad and then just hallucinating the rest?
