- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 17 hours ago:
This is why I’m migrating off Google to a custom domain. I have no fear Gmail is going away, but I fear if they ever block my account for some inscrutable reason there will be no way to appeal or get actual customer service.
- Comment on Academic papers yanked after authors found to have used unlicensed software 2 days ago:
This is the publisher punishing researchers for their own market failure.
If the software is not legally available in Egypt at a price affordable to academics, they should pirate it and publish in a journal that’s not part of this exploitative racket.

Pardon me I couldn’t help but overhear.
I would like to have a civil conversation about your statement.
Would you mind showing me evidence of any negative thing any moth has ever done to you?
- Comment on FFmpeg devs boast of up to 94x performance boost after implementing handwritten AVX-512 assembly code 1 week ago:
Probably some BS market segmentation move.
I imagine they noticed only certain server customers were using those extensions, so decided to limit them to high margin server SKUs.
It would have been a smart move if there weren’t competitors putting that instruction in every CPU.

If he’s going to use the next one for 12 years he definitely cares about picking a good one.
- Comment on Smog-beset Pakistan megacity curbs rickshaws, restaurants 2 weeks ago:
Is this a case of banning the biggest polluters, or banning the smallest and poorest polluters because they can’t fight back like factory owners would?

inco…ntinent?
I didn’t think he was that old.

You know damn well Lemmy downvotes news they don’t like same as Reddit does.
- Comment on have you ever had to confront a female mob at the workplace? 2 weeks ago:
Cause you sound like an unreliable narrator.
- Comment on have you ever had to confront a female mob at the workplace? 2 weeks ago:
When the actions of multiple people on the other side of a story don’t make sense, we’re not getting the whole story.
I’m guessing you cursed out a coworker and not the the first time. Most workplaces will excuse passing profanity more than they will excuse verbal abuse of a coworker.
- Comment on Grr Windows 2 weeks ago:
For me it’s more like “WTF are they going to break this time?”
Seems mostly a vehicle for MS to try and force new products onto people who wouldn’t download them if they had a choice.

That’s not halal
- Comment on The Fennec Android browser is currently behind on Firefox security updates, deemed unsafe by F-droid 2 weeks ago:
This reads like “they only sell hamburgers at the grocery store, and they don’t sell veggie burgers at the hippie food store because they aren’t vegan”
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
That’s the same self serving BS excuse we heard from slave owners during the civil war, and from Afrikaners during apartheid.

Almost self aware.
I have to support the wrong side because my family is on the wrong side.

What happens at the gender triple point?
- Comment on Everything on credit 3 weeks ago:
If you need to borrow money for a renovation, a HELOC is way cheaper than a credit card.
IDK how much we need to protect stupid people from themselves.
- Comment on Everything on credit 3 weeks ago:
Nobody is buying a wall box on credit, but online retailers figured out if they just enable installment payment everywhere, it provides a small lift to sales at the expense of snarky comments from Lemmy.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #32 - Duck Season PC 3 weeks ago:
I think the one without ‘PC’ is VR-only.
- Comment on Veganism is pro-fossil fuel 3 weeks ago:
I think veganism is dumb but this is so much stupider.
- Comment on Girl without smartphone unable to join in lesson — 'I feel guilty for not buying my daughter one for school' 3 weeks ago:
These people are supposed to be experts in child development.
Completely irresponsible for the school to be encouraging 11 year olds to have smart phones.
- Comment on Can someone give me an overview on the Jill Stein situation? 3 weeks ago:
Your argument is a false dichotomy.
Just because the Libertarians ran a spoiler candidate too does not magically make Jill Stein not a spoiler.
- Comment on Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect 3 weeks ago:
Most of that interview is deadly dull and there’s no way I would have read to the end.
Very nice of Intuit to highlight the juicy parts.
- Comment on Microsoft and OpenAI ‘bromance’ begins to fray 3 weeks ago:
Just give the direct link
- Comment on Microsoft and OpenAI ‘bromance’ begins to fray 3 weeks ago:
If Microsoft is expected to keep shoveling money into a bottomless pit, the bottomless pit is expected to keep producing temporary gains to the donor’s stock price.
Turns out the only people willing to pay for AI are other tech investors.
- Comment on Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done' 4 weeks ago:
If they finished it they’d have to find a new revenue stream.

Nobody want to be seen talking to a guy wearing socks with sandals.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
You’re getting mad at someone for trying to escape a fucked up system just because they’re not about to be as badly exploited by it as others.
You sound like shaming someone for trying to negotiate down their $200,000 hospital bill when you should be asking why this is a capitalist hellscape.
