- Comment on YSK: If you set up a Lemmy instance, and follow the Docker setup instructions to the letter, it will send lemmy.ml your admin password during the setup process 5 days ago:
Good catch, seems like an oversight.
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 5 days ago:
Even if I would agree with your principles, this kind of comment is what is tiring for moderators to deal with at scale.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 week ago:
Can we please have a source for the YSK statement you made in the title and the graph?
I have seen data on not having kids being the biggest choice a person can make to prevent future emissions. You also didn’t mention flying less often, or not flying when a reasonable alternative exists. What is the relative impact of all of these things compared to dietary changes? Numbers on that would be helpful.
- Comment on Danish Ministry switching from Microsoft Office/365 to LibreOffice 1 week ago:
Sure. That is assuming that someone is available on the LibreOffice side to support the ministry for a particular amount, and that the policy related to government procedures can be followed under this agreement.
- Comment on Danish Ministry switching from Microsoft Office/365 to LibreOffice 1 week ago:
They could spend 1~2% of the cost of their microsoft licenses to create their own plugins/development to make the UI more usable for their applications and workers, rather than relying on Microsoft themselves or creating plugins on outdated and proprietary frameworks.
- Comment on The State of Consumer AI: AI’s Consumer Tipping Point Has Arrived - Only 3%* of US AI users are willing to pay for it. 1 week ago:
A survey with the takeaways really gussying up AI and how people that don’t use AI haven’t had their aha moment yet.
- Comment on ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it 1 week ago:
Clearly it’s just safety minded individuals acquiring it. This app helps keep communities safe from unmarked armored vehicles filled with masked criminal cop impersonators.
- Comment on Th EU iniative for Stop Killing Games has reached the goal of 1 million signatures!! 1 week ago:
To address your first point. Yes it applies to other software, this initiative applies to games because the “buying a license to allow them to remove your purchase” practices have been most prevalent in gaming.
Extending the scope too far will bring in more opponents than allies and muddy the discussion. Getting a decisive answer here will inform laws on how other industries should be regulated in separate but parallel legislative processes.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I think the state legislature and governor will be more of a hurdle to clear than council. Since in US and Canada, most municipal powers are rooted in state/provincial legislation, they have the ability to override or veto, sanction or outlaw anything the city tries to implement. Gov. Hochul is an establishment Democrat so I expect some efforts to water down the most radical policies, but aside from her characteristic flip-flopping she won’t try to put herself in the way of city politics.

- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 3 weeks ago:
So, Tesla Robitaxis drive like a slightly drunk and confused tourist with asshole driving etiquette.
Those right turns on red were like, “oh you get to go? That’s permission for me to go too!”
- Comment on If one were so inclined, could you take your plot of land, parcel it up into 1-meter-squared (or smaller) sections, and sell each of those sections to different people/companies? 3 weeks ago:
cardsagainsthumanitystopsthewall.com
C.A.H. did something similar ish, crowdfunded a vacant plot along the wall and hired an eminent domain expert lawyer to stall the process if wall was to be constructed there.
I think contributors were given a recognition that they helped buy 0.00067% of the land, it wasn’t officially subdivided between the contributors nor were they given a share.

But those are ouchie fire lamp
- Comment on How do you think early humans survived without water bottles? Did they just live next to water sources all the time? 3 weeks ago:
Going backwards in time, they had metal and brass containers, before that they had wooden buckets and barrels, ceramic pots, carved out animal parts or fruit of plants.
Before farming, probably a good portion of the water early people subsisted on was from the food they ate. (Berries and fruit, fish, meat, etc.) Water might pool around rocky areas after rain, even if there was no stream nearby in a pinch.
- Comment on What happens to the content if an Lemmy instance shuts down? 4 weeks ago:
So if a brand new instance is started, it does not retroactively receive any content from other servers. Only ones that were connected by a link at the time content was posted will have a copy, essentially.
To know which posts will be kept on different servers, look up your own username, e.g. lemmy.ca/u/TrivialKin@lemm.ee

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 4 weeks ago:
Some people are addicted to sugar to the point where every beverage must be sweet flavoured.
I have water, but othertimes I am sugar addicted so I want a different beverage.
Also I have had tap water in various places across Canada. Most are decent, some are especially delicious, some have awful after tastes and even smell weird (sulfur or chlorine). If that stuff runs to your home I can understand why people prefer bottled water, tea or soda instead of tap water.

Just give yourself plenty of time (arrive 3 hours before departure or earlier). Review your flight number and look at the screens every half hour to reassure yourself you’re at the correct gate.

If you want the Lemmy experience pre-Reddit exodus minus the communism, this seems like the place. Lemmy was less than 200 people at one point, look how we’ve grown.
