- Comment on New Zealand eases visa rules for 'digital nomads' to boost tourism 3 days ago:
Should have done this a few months ago. They missed out on an awesome summer.
- Comment on Anyone else getting influx of 36 subscribers when creating a community? 1 week ago:
Instances need to have 1 person subscribe to a community to have those posts federate to their instance. Its likely that some Instances are running bots that subscribe to an instance so its visible for their users.
- Comment on Proton Mail still down as Proton recovers from worldwide outage 2 weeks ago:
It happens. Hopefully we get a cool blogpost about the incident
- Comment on LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey 3 weeks ago:
Same. I thought they sold your browsing and purchase history.
- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 3 weeks ago:
No because after uber cornered the market uber raised the bar for what kind of fuckery is acceptable. Takeaway shops would do normal prices plus a $10 delivery fee. Now they can double their prices and have contractless uber drivers manage all their deliveries.
- Comment on Uber Eats undercover: Delivering your food for $1.74 an hour 3 weeks ago:
Uber eats is such a scam. When these new VC companies come on the block offering things that are to good to be true I am constantly saying “we shouldn’t support this unsustainable vc funded business, once they have market share they will have killed the competition and then they will raise their prices”
So many places used to deliver at reasonable prices but after years of uber delivering at way cheaper rates they stopped. Now uber delivers at $10 more.

Yeah lemmy support would be so nice.
- Comment on Is the Fediverse Too Complex? Can It Embrace Simplicity Without Losing Its Identity? 4 weeks ago:
But you can follow people on those platforms from one account. Multiple accounts is not required.
- Comment on Important 4 weeks ago:
Your gearbox will suffer for uhc’s sins
- Comment on Important 4 weeks ago:
Lemmy shows its support for lugi in the only way it knows how. Not shifting.
- Comment on what is your opinion on mastodon and other fediverse microblogging sites?? as opposed to forum-type websites 4 weeks ago:
Microblogging is mature now and I think it sucks as a communication medium. I think discussion focused sites are a much healthier experience.
- Comment on Hamas and Fatah agree to create committee to run postwar Gaza Strip 1 month ago:
What part do you disagree with? How can pa prevent that. Would you prefer they take Hama’s method and get in a year long war?
- Comment on Hamas and Fatah agree to create committee to run postwar Gaza Strip 1 month ago:
The people of Palestine should cut the pa some slack they’re not good but they’re trying to bring stability and statehood to their people. They’re a lot more effective than hamas.
- Comment on "Your body, my choice:" Hate and harassment towards women spreads online 2 months ago:
When people talk about joining the Fediverse one of the main reasons mentioned for not staying is that people will jump on them over a tiny mistake. That’s what I saw your comment to be.
Telling people “don’t ever fucking mention another issue when a women is talking” is stupid. The more comments we get on lemmy the better. The more discussion the better. The medium allows discussion to fork without derailing anything. So if people want to respond to that comment and discuss then nothing is taken away from any of the other comments in this thread and people who don’t care can just minimize that comment and all the rest in that comment thread.

Nightmare blunt rotation
- Comment on This Week in Plasma: Discover and System Monitor with a side of WINE 2 months ago:
No new features… but I like new features. Add new features every week maintenance burden is not real if you forget they exist.
- Comment on "Your body, my choice:" Hate and harassment towards women spreads online 2 months ago:
when the most visible time men speak up about it is when they insert themselves into a conversation about women.
That’s not true, its just the only time you notice. It was a completely relevant to the comment. Do you really think you’d respond like this if a women replied with a relevant thing that happens to them? You could have just agreed that it’s crazy how far religious zealotry.
- Comment on [Mastodon reply link] Even the ActivityPub author "supports" anyone who makes a game the implements that protocol 2 months ago:
Activity pub creators want all these different uses for the protocol but then reject the feature requests required to make ap viable for those uses.
- Comment on Manjaro Linux want your system info with their new data collection tool 2 months ago:
Doesn’t seem bad to me. As long as they aren’t hiding what they collect and provide an easy opt out option.
- Comment on She-Ra Lives! 2 months ago:
Do you have a link to that evidence? I remember reading a while back about a find in South America that had female hunters but would be interested in reading more evidence about it being widespread.

Only pc keyboard needs wires
- Comment on The Magic Keyboard and Mouse now use USB-C! 2 months ago:
But what about the magnets?
- Comment on The Magic Keyboard and Mouse now use USB-C! 2 months ago:
Thanks to EU regulations the keyboard is limited to 20gbps data rates instead of the 40gbps that it would be doing over Thunderbolt. I hope your happy now that apple users suffer peasant speeds.
- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 2 months ago:
Its got a lot of those types for sure, but it has the most normal content of any alt video platform.
- Comment on Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse 2 months ago:
The thing is that “normies”(I hate the term) weren’t on reddit when it was the size of lemmy. The only experience they have is joining it after it had 10 years of development reached critical mass of users.
So we are stuck being compared to an impossible standard. When I compare Lemmy to old reddit lemmy hands down blows it out of the water. Old reddit had cp and racism on the front page every single day for years.It was hard to use and hostile to new users.
I’ve seen lemmy pop up in search engine posts already which was cool to see. Ive also seen lots of high quality intelligent posts granted they are only tech related but we will grow.
- Comment on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source 2 months ago:
I think it’s scary how many of the mainstream platforms this joke could apply to.
- Comment on A TikTok alternative called Loops is coming for the fediverse | Users own their content, and Loops doesn’t sell or provide videos to third-party advertisers or train AI on them. It will be open source 2 months ago:
Im guessing it’s going to be missing all the features that make tiktok popular like duets and pedophilia.
- Comment on Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST) 2 months ago:
Just by reading the first sentence I can tell you that you will enjoy Linux. Don’t worry about all the technical stuff it seems complicated because you don’t know it. Just install Linux and use it and you will learn what all that stuff means. Since you’re building a new PC you got nothing to lose from trying out a few different Linux distros.

- Comment on Factorio 2.0 and Factorio: Space Age DLC are out now 3 months ago:
It’s 4x the size of the base game. It introduces tons of mechanics. I can see myself putting thousands of hours into this.
