- Comment on Apple to Soon Take Up to 30% Cut From All Patreon Creators in iOS App 1 day ago:
I have an app which reduces the quality of the app for apple users to force them to subscribe more than Android users.
The price is the same, but on android there’s no limit to the number of saves you can keep whereas Apple has a limit of 5 and you need to Subscribe at $30/year to unlock more saves.

And then someone decides to name a random planet simply “Steve”
- Comment on Denominator, go Mercator 5 days ago:
How much do you wanna bet Trump wouldn’t be so gung ho on Greenland if he saw this map? He probably thinks he is going to double the size of America.
- Comment on Netflix will add TikTok-style doomscrolling feed to keep users hooked longer 1 week ago:
Lol
The fuck do they expect?
I scroll through Netflix stuff all the time to try and find something to watch and can’t find fuck all that’s worth my time.
I’ve probably spent more time scrolling through the catalogue than watching actual content.
(Pirated, I’m not actually paying Netflix for the privilege)
- Comment on Oh nooooooo 1 week ago:
I think we have. In my area many deer during hunting season spend the time within city limits where it’s illegal to fire guns. I am pretty sure they’ve figured it out.
- Comment on The singular they is actually such a natural part of the English language, the people complaining about it almost certainly use it without noticing 1 week ago:
Honestly I’ve always just put it down to another fault of the English language being weird. There should be a more concise word for a singular person where the gender is not defined, but there just isn’t so people use “they”.
It’s acceptable to me if the number of people isn’t known but in your case of the doctor I would not find it ideal but acceptable just because there isn’t another proper word if you don’t want to / can’t use the word he/she.
To me in an ideal world They would strictly be for multiple people or an unknown number, and another word for those who don’t identify as he/she or for cases where gender isn’t relevant like title professions and whatnot.
- Comment on CES 2026: Meet Tiiny AI, a pocket-sized AI supercomputer 2 weeks ago:
So its shit like this why RAM costs are up 500% or more?
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 3 weeks ago:
What do people from the Netherlands call themselves if not Dutch or the Dutch?
Like, people from the United States call themselves Americans, there’s the Spanish and French.
Are they called Netherlanders or something?
- Comment on Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer 3 weeks ago:
Especially when the ad is longer than the video you are trying to watch.
Or you watch the entire video than accidentally swipe the edge of your phone and you are sent back, then have to watch it again to view the video once you click it again.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 3 weeks ago:
Why couldn’t they just stick with Office… It’s 100% explanatory, short, and to the point.
365 never made sense to me. Is it supposed to represent the year? Like available 24/7 but instead it’s there for you 365 days of the year? And if that’s the case why the fuck would I care? It’s software, of course it’s available to me whenever I want. It’s not a 7/11 hotdog rotisserie.
- Comment on YSK this woman is called Kathlyn Boyle. She is the most powerful woman in Silicon Valley and one of the closest friend of JD Vance. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve never heard of this person before and now this is the second Lemmy post I have seen on the front page of my all feed in the past 10 minutes, the other one being posted by an account that is 13 hours old.
The fuck is going on and why is this lady being targetted by someone?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
You would think that we should have caught on sooner considering how there are plenty of mammals, like rabbits, that need to eat their moms poop to get the proper bacteria in their own guts in order to survive. Otherwise they simply die.
- Comment on Snitches get switches 4 weeks ago:
Well not as an individual but the owners/caretakers of the land are legally required to remove it and remediate the area.
- Comment on Snitches get switches 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the rules. Some places it would be illegal to disturb anything in conservation areas like parks but other areas it would be illegal to ignore invasive plants and not remove them.
- Comment on Gundam Chestnut 4 weeks ago:
PNW… Himalayan Blackberry
- Comment on CIA behind strike at Venezuelan dock that Trump claims was used by drug smugglers, AP sources say 4 weeks ago:
I’m sure drug smugglers use a lot of American docks, why not bomb those as well?
- Comment on YSK: Regulations don't exist because governments like them... 4 weeks ago:
Very true.
But, even so I don’t think all regulations need to be a thing unless there’s a specific point reached.
Like, if 1 in 100 million die due to some issue every 10 years, do we need a regulation that hinders the comfort/productivity of tens of thousands?
Not sure where that point is, but some regulations do seem pretty ridiculous to me.
- Comment on You can (probably should) remove personal information from a photo before uploading it to social media 4 weeks ago:
Honorable site? Lol.
This data is why they let you have an account for free.
- Comment on The first evidence of human activity every archaeological expedition encounters is evidence of an archeological expedition. 5 weeks ago:
Hmm not necessarily.
If archeologists are called out because a construction site uncovers a Roman road or fort, the first evidence they find is that of construction activities.
- Comment on Entertainment would be a lot less shitty if there is a legally-enforcible International Law that bans the act of cancelling TV Shows and forces all TV Shows to have a decently written ending. 5 weeks ago:
Nah, tv shows should be funded and approved for at least 1, maybe 2 seasons past the upcoming season being considered for filming.
Like Amazon Prime funding and approving 5 seasons of LOTR off the bat. If a show is greenlit, it should be for at least 2-3 seasons not a single season to test the waters.
- Comment on 50/50 chance this is a shit post 5 weeks ago:
Some of them are alright, but I have no idea that they were thinking when some of the new ones got approved.
- Comment on It took years to come up with a plan to cut road deaths, and just 11 days to kill it 5 weeks ago:
People always overestimate how much time they save when driving faster.
If you were travelling 100km at 100km/h it would take you and hour to get to your destination.
At 80km/h it would take you 1h15m.
If you were travelling half that distance you would only be saving 8 minutes.
Y’all want to risk dying to save maybe 8 minutes? It’s not only your driving you need to worry about, it’s other people on the road.
- Comment on Meta tolerates rampant ad fraud from China to safeguard billions in revenue 1 month ago:
Amazon also endorses fraud. Found a product which had a blatant lie in the description and specification pages but do you think I can find the report product button? Absolutely no where to be found.
- Comment on Data centers need electricity, utilities need years to build – who should pay? 1 month ago:
Why raise residential tares and not commercial / industrial rates?
Oh, because businesses are subsidizes through taxes. Of course.
- Comment on Stack Overflow Rolls Out Native Ads in Q&A Feeds for Funding Boost 1 month ago:
I really hate the term native ad. It makes it sound like it isn’t the worst thing ever invented.
It should instead be called invasive ads or undercover ads.
- Comment on Pebble maker announces Index 01, a smart-ish ring for under $100 1 month ago:
There’s no guarantee they will even be around to recycle the rings in two years time. The way tech companies are going these days it’s probably not very likely.
- Comment on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image 1 month ago:
They have vibe journalists now
- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 1 month ago:
Why don’t you just call NFL foot ball, soccer? No one else wants to use the name soccer so it’s sort of free.
- Comment on South Korea police say 120,000 home cameras hacked for 'sexploitation' footage 1 month ago:
I don’t even understand why you would have them anywhere inside. I have a few outside to warn of movement and stuff outdoors and trigger alarms at certain times but I would never put them inside my house. Already having them outside triggers by paranoia about being watched.
- Comment on The phrase "edited it" is soo weird to pronounce 1 month ago:
