I loved those subreddits. Got so many great ideas from other people’s designs. Start one up here!
- Comment on Is it realistic to hope that lemmy grows to the size of the bigger social media platforms? 4 hours ago:
Honestly, as a centrist I’ve thought about leaving Lemmy multiple times and this is by far the biggest reason. I know I can’t have an intelligent discussion with someone if I don’t agree with them and god forbid I bring up anything positive about religion, they will crucify me every time. It’s the equivalent of them putting their fingers in their ears and just yelling. No thanks.
- Comment on "Authenticity" 1 day ago:
My experience is this is just online. It doesn’t track the same in the real world, at least the places I travel to (all over the US). People are generally still very nice and accommodating to all kinds of people and generally don’t like what the government is doing.
- Comment on AOL will end dial-up internet service in September, 34 years after it's debut — AOL Shield Browser and AOL Dialer software will be shuttered on the same day 2 weeks ago:
No one compares to Starlink unfortunately. It’s really that much better. Source: FiL has been on the beta since the first constellation went up.
- Comment on After trying them in the mountains, I think Carbonated Beverages were better closer to sea level. 2 weeks ago:
The higher you go the less air pressure there is to keep the carbonation in the liquid. This definitely affects taste.
- Comment on 3D Printing Patterns Might Make Ghost Guns More Traceable Than We Thought 4 weeks ago:
Way to overthink it.

Exactly!
The belief that forensics is reliable is unfounded. I don’t know the stat but last I remember reading it, it’s pretty low that they can prove anyone did anything. More murderers haven’t been caught than have.
- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 5 weeks ago:
You can strike crushed by their exploding submarine off your list. Already happened.
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 1 month ago:
Don’t forget the courage to not support CarPlay/Android Auto … just stupid.
- Comment on I think better when I'm calm. So it follows that getting calmer will make me smarter. 1 month ago:
When emotions are high, logic is low.

Filter by island. Plenty of options.
- Comment on Disney+ Confirmed a NEW Change Coming Soon for Subscribers 2 months ago:
Same. I won’t tolerate pop ups. We didn’t when the internet was new and I sure won’t when watching a show I’M PAYING TO WATCH.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
^ this. All of it. It’s death by a thousands cuts and just shows the incredible amount of greed they have (not shareholder value, it’s bloody greed).
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 2 months ago:
It’s the same mentality of we shouldn’t mute ads or go to the bathroom when they come on. That’s the advertising businesses problem, not mine. They haven’t made life better for most of us.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 2 months ago:
Holy crap that’s cheap! Honestly, I’d pay that.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 2 months ago:
Agree with this. For my business, and most customer facing ones honestly, Google is how people discover you. They are the modern day Yellow Pages. You don’t exist on Google and you may as well not exist.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 2 months ago:
Absolutely the same for me. The only reason I block their ads is because of how frequently they interrupt the content. It’s just unacceptably greedy. Pre-roll ads is fine, I get they have bills to pay too.

Fuck BlackRock. Disgusting company.
- Comment on YSK that if you are planning an outdoor event, you can check where the shade and shadows will fall on a given day and time 2 months ago:
Pretty neat. Even gets the mountain shadows.
- Comment on Amazon's new "Delivery Plus" service. For an additional $29.95 your stuff will arrive less fucked up. Free with Amazon Prime. 2 months ago:
Don’t give them ideas.
- Comment on Is there a more convenient way to do this? 2 months ago:
Ever been to Oktoberfest in Munich? 100% why everyone from around the world is having a great time together. It isn’t the bad English. Great advice!
- Comment on Color-correcting algorithm removes the effect of water in underwater scenes 2 months ago:
I give it 5 years before this is on our phones.
- Comment on Are standing seats on airliners actually going to be a thing? 2 months ago:
Fantastic explanation and critical thinking process. Well done.
- Comment on It's Breathtaking How Fast AI Is Screwing Up the Education System 2 months ago:
And this is why my wife and I homeschool our kids. It’s all about teaching critical thinking. They’re so far beyond their peers in public schools it’s not even close. NCLB was one of the worst decisions for our society in centuries.
- Comment on Todays touchscreen UI's are so forcefed with slide-options, widgets, AI assistants, popup UI's and auto- correct/translate... 3 months ago:
You nailed it. Nothing is more infuriating than a UI element moving as soon as you go to tap it and you now miss tap something else. I echo stop re-arranging my shit!!

Excellent rescission and partnership. See corporation, this is what a leader looks like.
- Comment on Microsoft Teams will soon block screen capture during meetings 3 months ago:
Yeah, not seeing this as the big bad everyone thinks it is. We regularly have Teams meetings with other companies when they’re sharing their proprietary info. I’m okay with a screen capture disabling function just like we’d want to use from time to time.

That’s only assuming the observer is at the location of the source of the light.
