- Comment on Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor 4 months ago:
Just waiting on what the Standard Notes collaboration pans out to. Also wish they’d flesh out their side projects fully before adding more and more new toys to the suite.
- Comment on ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US 6 months ago:
India did this and Instagram reels is the main one that benefited. Probably be the same for US if it pulls through on this.
- Comment on PSA: Nova Launcher has been owned by analytics company Branch since 2022 6 months ago:
Just to note, I’m on v8.0.14 and there has been 0 bytes of data coming in and going out.
- Comment on How to Escape From the Iron Age? 6 months ago:
There’s usually an interface material when using resisitive heat. And there’s heat loss from heating the interface material before the heat getting to the actual material that needs to be heated.
Inductive heating can be applied directly without heating the interface material.
Though this is probably more applicable to cooking vs industrial kilns and furnaces.
- Comment on How to Escape From the Iron Age? 6 months ago:
Resistive, sure. Inductive, not necessarily.
- Comment on Reddit moderator rebellion: AI moderation is part of the solution 10 months ago:
Firefox mobile isn’t atrocious, Facebook’s support for mobile website is. Also, I’m sure Orion is a great browser but it touting itself for the dark web and having a 3.5 rating on the play store didn’t particularly inspire confidence for me.
- Comment on Reddit moderator rebellion: AI moderation is part of the solution 11 months ago:
Best thing, Voyager’s a webapp/website in an app wrapper, and doesn’t have more invasive permissions than I’d prefer too. And the interface is sleek af. I unfortunately have to use facebook on firefox mobile as well and that is atrocious. Wild.
- Comment on What DID Apple innovate? 11 months ago:
They also did similar bullshit anit consumer antics like those ridiculous memory stick storage cards that were costly as all hell compared to SD cards.
Sony walked so Apple could run.
- Comment on Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023) 11 months ago:
This is just factually untrue with the numbers lemmy by itself has being having. Not to say anything of Mastodon and et al. There wouldn’t be a mass exodus of highly engaged folks from reddit to lemmy if users just didn’t move anymore. Threads got big but then instantly deflated to a much lower number immediately.
- Comment on Grandfathered YouTube Premium users will see price increase in January 11 months ago:
Am using it rn and it is for 6 folks. As much as I appreciate Spotify, I use wayyy too much youtube for media that it wins over.
- Comment on Bill Gates feels Generative AI has plateaued, says GPT-5 will not be any better 11 months ago:
Bias is inevitable. Whether it is AI or any other knowledge based system. We just have to be cognizant of it and try to remedy it.
- Comment on Leaker shares mounting Nintendo Switch Mini or Switch Pocket evidence, offers up release date and price predictions 11 months ago:
I think this’d be a neat companion to Switch 2. A new gen new 3ds + Wii U analogue.
Vs Nintendo having just Switch and Switch Lite. As neat as the Switch Lite is, it isn’t in the same niche as Ninty’s earlier handhelds and I feel like there is a market for it. Though, it might be that the folks in that demo are probably just fine with their phones now.
- Comment on Bill Gates feels Generative AI has plateaued, says GPT-5 will not be any better 11 months ago:
Active Learning Models. Though public exposure can eaily fuck it up, without adult supervision. With proper supervision though, there’s promise.
- Comment on What NAS to get for running plex and is there anything I should know? 11 months ago:
I bought an old business HP 3500 Pro ans have been running jellyfin and a number of socker containers from it. Plus it is quite upgradeable since it’s just a pc, and cost me just 100 CAD.

Never thought about it that way but it is an excellent policy. Thank You.
Now if only we could get the goddamn Mickey Mouse in public domanin.

Never had any trust on em due to the former reasons but I didn’t even know about the last part. Glad I always side eyed them with suspicion.

Danny Matheson did get a proper conviction and 30 years I believe.
Not on the stands anymore.
- Comment on Phones should have FM radio again 1 year ago:
How pray tell would Bluetooth help with having FM radio? The headphone cable is used as the antenna for phones.
- Comment on After USB-C win, EU tells Tim Cook that Apple must 'open up its gates to competitors'. 1 year ago:
Isn’t that the UK which isn’t EU anymore?
- Comment on Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home? 1 year ago:
I have a salvaged HP 3500 Pro with an HTPC case and 8.5 TB storage. Started mainly for Jellyfin and now have half a dozen docker containers on it. Great test bed for getting used to linux before I slowly creep towards having it as my main OS on my PC.
- Comment on X revokes paid blue check from United Auto Workers after strike called 1 year ago:
Folks used to gather to watch town floggings and hangings. And the Hindenburg image is still known to contemporary folks.
There’s a schadenfreude in watching disaaters happening in front of your eyes.

- Comment on Rivian CEO issues strong statement about people who purchase gas-powered cars: ‘Sort of like building a horse barn in 1910’ 1 year ago:
Startup costs need to be softened with a costlier higher margin vehicle. Cannot achieve quality mass production of cars from thin air.
- Comment on Brands suspend advertising on X after ads appear alongside Nazi content 1 year ago:
If a small portion of ads keep repeating, it’d show the shallow pool of advertisers left on the website.
That or there’s no one at the helm for advertising.
Either way, looks incredibly shabby.
- Comment on Watch history required for recommendations now on Youtube/Alternative to youtube. 1 year ago:
Pretty sure they could rig something up from subscriptions. I dunno, maybe a chronological subscription feed??
But why would they when they could strongarm you into enabling watch history.
