- Comment on Anybody know a source for old logos as stickers? 4 minutes ago:
There are two things to consider:
- You can get custom stickers. There are lot of suppliers and they are not expensive, even for small quanitities. You can also get stickers to print on your inkjet
- However: Those logos are not vinyl stickers, they are printed on. You might want to take a look at those transparent transfer stickers people are using for their model planes or research how those custom lego printing places are doing it
- Comment on we need more users 6 days ago:
I wanted to see it and did take a look into your profile: That was one user and he was rightfully criticized and downvoted for that stupid post. It’s not great that this happened, but I’m not sure if it is fair to judge all of us here based on that
- Comment on What are your technology mispredictions? 1 week ago:
Bitcoin. A technology trying to circumvent our highly regulated financial system? Which is mostly used to sell drugs online and evade sanctions? Where we knew at the start that it would need more energy than whole countries if it was successful? And then there are those 51% attacks? Yeah, that’s stupid. I really would have expected governments to crack down harsh on everything bitcoin and cryptocoin and would have expected that owning or using them would be as illegal as owning child porn.
- Comment on Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards - X’s deepfake porn feature clearly violates app store guidelines. Why won’t Apple and Google pull it? 1 week ago:
There is another battle: There is a fight to open up app installation on phones. The EU recently forced Apple to allow other app stores on iOS and Apple is fighting this as hard as you would expect. Apple & Google are taking 30% of each sale in their stores and are making bank. One of the arguments they are pushing is “safety”. Only apps on their vetted app stores are safe, every other store is unsafe and so on. If they allow a child porn app in their store, all of their arguments in this debate are invalid. And that is also an important fact for that debate.
- Comment on Inside ICE’s Tool to Monitor Phones in Entire Neighborhoods 1 week ago:
Does it? It was possible a while ago, but in the last years, we saw train tickets going to apps. There is no ticket machine at my local stop. There are areas where you can only park your car with an app. I need 2FA to get into my accounts. So going to protests or just living your life without a phone is getting harder
- Comment on Alternative to Gmail? I currently use my own domain for email, but i miss the priority inbox 1 week ago:
You can do most of that without any fancy AI or machine learning: Since you already have your own domain, setup some mail redirects and filter all mails going into them into subfolders. I have a redirect for onlineshopping where all those order confirmation and delivery informations and unwanted newsletters go. I have another I use for creating accounts - all 2FA etc. are going there. And then I have the main mail for actual communication and another redirect for all those interesting substack newsletters and so on.

Each community has its own culture and each Mastodon poster has his own style - there are communities on Lemmy where a typical Mastodon toot will fit perfectly and there are communities where it will not fit. So try to fit in with your posts into the community you are posting to and everything will be fine
- Comment on Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them" 1 week ago:
No, it doesn’t. But that is totally something that should run locally on your own devices.
- Comment on Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them" 1 week ago:
I kind of makes sense to produce computers that are able to run local AI. People here hate AI, but there are a lot of tasks that make a lot of sense even on a laptop. It’s great to produce tags and descriptions for your images. Google Photo has this - search for “horse” and you will get back all pictures of horses you have taken. And it totally makes sense to run stuff like this locally on your own computer without sending every picture you’ve taken to Trumpland.
But I really do not trust Microsoft to build something like that. That would totally go against everything they have been doing for the last decade and would also devalue their billions they’ve put into OpenAI

- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 week ago:
Yeah - people and countries are trying to get out of their dependency on the US, but they are trying to do so kind of stealthy to not get in confrontations with Trump (who is totally one to escalate stuff if he notices) and also in a way to minimize their losses.

You might not like it, but AI can totally give you a recommendation of similar bands.

- Comment on The MP3 Revolution: How a German Innovation Changed Music Forever 2 weeks ago:
I remember getting my first MP3s at a LAN party and it was revolutionary. You could just copy over music to your computer from other computers and they had quite the selection? Awesome! I totally filled my (tiny) hard disk to the brim and then listened the shit out of them with Winamp. I learned a while later that you could also rip CDs and that was also revolutionary. Then Napster, the first Discmens with MP3 support and so on - MP3s are awesome!
- Comment on The most outlandish tech CEO quotes from 2025 2 weeks ago:
All of them - there might be a reason to want to get rich as fuck so that you can live comfortable and buy everything you want. I totally can understand that a superyacht in the Mediterranean can be awesome or that your private jet is more comfy than flying in a normal plane. But there is a limit: Just imagine being Elon Musk, being so rich that you could use a small part of your money to eradicate some illnesses or lift millions of people out of poverty and then spending your time shitposting on Twitter

- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 2 weeks ago:
You have a license for some crappy Win11 home version. You can’t use it for the Enterprise versions, even if Microsoft is providing you with the ISO.

- Comment on Linux Slicer 2 weeks ago:
Can anyone give any advice on either having it work or a Linux alternative with similar functionality?
The neat thing about installing Linux is that there are live versions around. Go to the Linux Mint site and follow their instructions on creating a bootable USB stick. Boot from it and you’ll have a working system directly on your computer. You can check if your hardware is compatible and you can also install software there. So if you have some doubts about Orca Slicer, just boot up a Linux and check it yourself on your own machine! It’s really that awesome

Just imagine how many tutorials, documentations, videos and so on Microsoft has made obsolete by just moving the start menu from the lower left side to the middle. And yes, you totally can’t expect users to find the new position on their own, some people are interesting
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 2 weeks ago:
Which is, by the way, totally ok. If you buy an expensive computer and it is getting shipped with a garbage version of an OS that is something to complain about. It’s also totally reasonable to complain that there is a garbage version at all. People shouldn’t need to reinstall their brand new computers with pirated enterprise versions to escape the abuses of Microsoft. At least let us bitch about this here, dude!
- Comment on FediMeteo: How a Tiny €4 FreeBSD VPS Became a Global Weather Service for Thousands - IT Notes 2 weeks ago:
I’m following my city on Mastodon and it does work as expected. You’ll get a post in your timeline every 3 (?) hours. Which kind of works and not - if you’re online at the right time, you will get the weather forecast. If not, that forecast will be buried by out by all those other activities.
- Comment on Today in “Google Broke Email” 2 weeks ago:
I have this setup for “historical” purposes. Back in the day, freemailers gave you very little space. 20 MB or so. And if you wanted to mail several people, there were always two or three whose mailbox was full. That is something you’re not seeing anymore and Gmail is the reason for that and that is also the reason why Gmail became so successful. Gmail gave you 1GB (?) of space and you never ran into those problems again.
And it was a convenient way to switch accounts. Just setup Gmail to fetch everything from your old hotmail account and don’t bother with checking that one every few weeks so that it doesn’t get full and you might miss important mails.

- Comment on How We Lost Communication to Entertainment 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I totally would expect that. That is how the UI does work currently: On Pixelfed and Mastodon, you can search for a user and follow that user. To a normal user, it looks like the user is a normal Pixelfed user. And yes, I expect to see all posts of a user I follow.
You might disagree. But the biggest problem is that Pixelfed is not telling you that it is not showing you every post and doesn’t give you the option to see every post. That is bad UI and should be fixed.
