- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 1 day ago:
Like a Chromebook.
- Comment on The truth behind the UK's so-called 'millionaire exodus' 1 week ago:
It’s worse: they are bidding everything up and making it more expensive for everyone else.
- Comment on Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog 1 week ago:
Am I missing something in the thought process here? Surely removing encryption just makes the entire UK uniquely vulnerable to having their messages read not just by UK intelligence but anyone. It doesn’t make any sense.
- Comment on YSK that Elena Kostyuchenko is an extraordinarily brave woman. 1 week ago:
I’m interested to know how you analysed it. Is there a piece of software you used?
- Comment on Loops publishes their recommender algorithm 1 week ago:
That would be extremely groovy. Even just having a few flavours of algorithm that you can choose from would be really cool.
- Comment on Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses? 1 week ago:
The more you think about it the more capitalism looks like a death cult.
- Comment on UK Wants All iPhones to Block Explicit Images Unless You Prove Age 1 week ago:
I’m against this for the surveillance and meddling in people’s private lives but I’m also for it because a) kids are getting fucked up by internet and, most of all, b) I like thinking about how MPs are probably oblivious to how burdensome this will be for google and apple to implement and the precedent it would set for every government being able to demand their own set of mods. It’s beautiful.
- Comment on Oldest evidence of deliberate fire use found in England 1 week ago:
Looking forward to Al Murray finding out about this.
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 2 weeks ago:
Weird. I thought it must have some kind of xenophobia connection judging by the reaction.
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 2 weeks ago:
I’ve noticed that but have no idea why - can you explain?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Been happily hosting my stuff on it for three years now, with no previous experience 👍
- Comment on How do I get followers on mastodon (or any other non-thread social media) 2 weeks ago:
Follow hashtags and get stuck in to some conversations. It’s quite rewarding.
And well done avoiding instagram. I thought it was now just a graveyard for deluded millennial aspiration but apparently not!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I prefer stories of random white dudes being in places they had no business being in because they went from their childhood home in the countryside to the big city, met the wrong people while they were drunk and woke up there with sunburn and knowledge of a great number of sea shanties.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
This comment is art.
Have bookmarked.
- Comment on How the UK’s dependency on cars slows down the economy 2 weeks ago:
It used to be possible to live and work in much of the UK without a car. Where I live it is now basically impossible, unless you have a remote job, get food delivered and completely withdraw from society.
- Comment on Is it Possible that a Typical Quantity of Sneezes is Inherited/Genetic? 2 weeks ago:
I would say that it probably is but if it turns out to be cultural then that would be very interesting.
- Comment on Is it even feasebal to find 12 people who have not been screwed over by insurance for the Luigi trial? 3 weeks ago:
Feasebal is my new favourite word.
Thank you fine sir.
- Comment on UK and Norway team up to hunt Russian submarines and undersea sabotage 3 weeks ago:
“Make America Irrelevant Again”
- Comment on Krueger, Gallagher Introduce SUNNY Act To Support Balcony Solar in New York 3 weeks ago:
Solar panels are so cheap and so good now that it is becoming embarrassing if you don’t have any.
- Comment on Plebbit is the the most decentralized selfhosted social media protocol And why development slowed Down 3 weeks ago:
Sounds cool. I always wondered whether something like Lemmy could work P2P or like a mesh network.
- Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 3 weeks ago:
There are graphs in the book The Spirit Level which show exactly this. The two things correlate. From memory Iceland, Japan and maybe Poland do well, or at least they were when the book was published.
- Comment on Summoning the Beast of Big Pharma 4 weeks ago:
You don’t understand man, it’s a healing herb.
- Comment on These Ancient Log Boats Unearthed in England Were Each Carved From a Single Tree Trunk 3,000 Years Ago 4 weeks ago:
The patience.
- Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 5 weeks ago:
In a way that is what trade unions do. Here in the UK they donate to the Labour party, for some reason.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 1 month ago:
If it is then not enough people have heard of YUNOhost.
- Comment on Where do I even start? 1 month ago:
Another +1 for YUNOhost. I went from zero experience self-hosting to having my own email, fediverse instance, file server and several websites on a VPS. I would never have had the patience to figure this out without it.
- Comment on what is the equivalent of somatic exercises for the mind? 1 month ago:
I would like to hear more about relaxing the muscles. I’ve never heard of somatic exercise - what do I do?
- Comment on Temu: British artist's anger at finding work on site without permission 1 month ago:
This wouldn’t matter so much if 1) Arts Council funding hadn’t been decimated under austerity and 2) Working class people could afford to buy art.
The pool of people who can afford to keep the arts alive is rapidly diminishing. I work with artists and see this week in week out but it’s the same with everything.
Rich man moves to the village and everyone goes to work for him.
- Comment on I am curious about hosting my own lemmy/mastodon server 1 month ago:
AFAIK If you host GotoSocial it links out to the instances where content is hosted, rather than downloading it as a copy. I have a single-user instance on a tiny VPS and it uses hardly any resources. I think part of the reason for that is the above. You have to use a client application with it because there is no web interface, which I think is partly why it is so lightweight.
Might be worth looking at if you’re concerned about accidentally hosting things you don’t want.
- Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I 1 month ago:
Immich sounds great.
Does it have E2EE? I rent a VPS and would prefer personal files that I have on it to be protected.
