- Comment on I hate how many people are against russian ancestry 2 weeks ago:
In the US itself, there’s also people that claim they’re every bit as Italian as someone born and raised in Italy, like it’s a biological race. I’ve only seen that a couple times and it doesn’t really have anything to do with the topic, but I’ll mention it anyway because it’s so very, very cringe.
- Comment on I hate how many people are against russian ancestry 3 weeks ago:
Weird. I have Russians in the mix and literally nobody has ever cared.
- Comment on I hate how many people are against russian ancestry 3 weeks ago:
I’m guessing you’re in Europe?
- Comment on Trump federally renames Alaska's Mt. Denali to mount mckinley, despite the objections from everyone who actually lives there 4 weeks ago:
I feel like this about every rebrand. And yet, the media usually goes along with it, and everyone follows.
X is a letter and that’s it.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Hmm, odd. I just posted to .ml with no issues.
This isn’t the chemical polishing post so nobody else gets confused - dullard just posted twice.
- Comment on Is pixelfed.sdf.org fully working? I'm not receiving my confirmation email to sign up. 5 weeks ago:
Just our instance, or all of it?
Images are heavier, unfortunately, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
- Comment on Can someone explain to me what is happening in /c/humanrights 2 months ago:
Ah. The slash usually means “not”, sorry about that.
- Comment on Can someone explain to me what is happening in /c/humanrights 2 months ago:
No, serious.
If SDF definitely knew this instance existed I’d bug them about maybe looking into this. Someone might need some medical help.
- Comment on We're Back! 3 months ago:
I went to my backup instance. Now I’ll be on two for a bit I guess - I wouldn’t want to leave anyone hanging.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 3 months ago:
.ml is kind of Hexbear or Lemmygrad-lite. They’ll ban you for criticising places like North Korea. I got it once for saying Dengism isn’t socialist.
I still use it, because it’s mostly normal, and “we’re secretly the bad guys” isn’t a very dangerous conspiracy theory.
- Comment on Do you refrain from participating to a community if it's hosted on Lemmy.ml ? 3 months ago:
No. I self-censor a bit there, and prefer other instances so I don’t have to, though.
- Comment on I wish Japan was easier to immigrate to. 4 months ago:
They don’t want you, basically, and the laws reflect that.
- Comment on What’s the best method for documenting a ROM that I’m reverse-engineering? 4 months ago:
Yikes!
Yeah, I don’t think I can help too much with that. I hear there was quite an art to annotating hand-written assembly (to the point where you’re basically play-acting an interpreter or compiler), but I wasn’t there to learn.
- Comment on What’s the best method for documenting a ROM that I’m reverse-engineering? 4 months ago:
Do you have any idea what the high-level language in question might be? There has to be some logic to it (or alternatively it was spaghetti code as written). Even just the era and platform would narrow it down a bit.
- Comment on What’s the best method for documenting a ROM that I’m reverse-engineering? 4 months ago:
Hmm. Isn’t there a theorem that every combination of GOTOs is equivalent to some structured programming equivalent?
- Comment on USB Floppy Drive 4 months ago:
Yes, was about to post Greaseweazle. That and whatever scavenged drive sounds like the way to go in general. I don’t have one yet just because it costs the right amount to go on my gift wishlist, lol.
- Comment on I don't see Threads when I try to block it as an instance. Why? 5 months ago:
Does it federate with Lemmy? I thought it was more of a Mastodon-like service.
- Comment on I don't see Threads when I try to block it as an instance. Why? 5 months ago:
I would be shocked. They don’t even notice when we’re defederated.
- Comment on Ancient Rome Expert Answers Roman Empire Questions From Twitter 6 months ago:
Wait, where was the G*rmanic simping?
I also regret that she didn’t go into the sexual norms they did have, or put the guy who was concerned about being black at ease that they wouldn’t have noticed or cared, and would be more concerned about his lack of a “civilised” language. Both sexual free-for-all Rome and racist Rome are common misconceptions that basically come from recent history.

Geez, that one isn’t even a grill, it’s literally a small wood-fired stove.
- Comment on Ancient Rome Expert Answers Roman Empire Questions From Twitter 6 months ago:
That’s really cool!
How often do you deal with barbarian invasions? /s
- Comment on Ancient Rome Expert Answers Roman Empire Questions From Twitter 6 months ago:
I literally reposted here at their advice, lol.

Sounds like someone needs to start making catalytic converters for nitrogen oxides.
- Comment on Federation issues recently? 6 months ago:
Still nothing, and my comment just went through right away. It’s broken in the inbound direction.
- Comment on Federation issues recently? 6 months ago:
It’s just too big for you, I guess?
- Comment on Federation issues recently? 6 months ago:
Neat. The data doesn’t go back very far yet, though.
Two immediate observations: Hexbear is surprisingly huge in terms of activity, and lemm.ee had a crazy spike happen at 14:00 UTC on Tuesday (probably spam or similar).
- Comment on Federation issues recently? 6 months ago:
Local link, so we can see stuff coming back, if it does.
- Comment on IWTL - I Want To Learn 6 months ago:
I’m nothing it not… inciteful.
(It’s insightful, OP)
