- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 day ago:
Kind of. All you need is fat and lye. Some experimenting would need to be done but I’m somewhat confident I could figure it out.
And you could make a living selling it. Assuming you can convince people of its benefits.

I’d make some fucking soap.
- Comment on Getting frequent "Gateway time-out" Error 504 3 days ago:
Saw it again. It’s not super often or repeatable. A refresh usually works.
Also see a higher amount than usual of “failed to load media” in Voyager, though not sure if that’s related or not. It doesn’t give any more info.
- Comment on Sales of Hard Drives for the End of the World Boom Under Trump 3 days ago:
I was hoping it would be one of those drives built to last hundreds of years. Oh well.
- Comment on 4chan has been offline for over a week, and it's probably not coming back 4 days ago:
Damn, uBlock Origin straight up blocks this site.

I bet you didn’t even look that up.
- Comment on Okay, who had Trump loyalty pins for Apocalyptic-Bingo this Sunday? Games just getting started, stay tuned! 2 weeks ago:
Bunch of wimps won’t even wear arm bands.
- Comment on Revealed: The shocking far-right agenda behind the surveillance tech used by ICE and the FBI. 2 weeks ago:
In general, the federal government is hungry for facial recognition. The Department of Homeland Security is experimenting with using facial biometrics to monitor migrant children “down to the infant” and algorithmically predict how they will age so they can be identified if they cross the border years later.
Seems a bit unnecessary.

It must be so satisfying being a South Korean right now.
- Comment on What actually came first? The chicken or the egg? 3 weeks ago:
Another way to frame this is that, you can’t just magically create a singular being that’s a new species because it wouldn’t have anything to breed with. So it’s a long term gradual change of a complete population into what we know as a chicken today.
- Comment on Italy slams door on people hoping to claim citizenship through great-grandparents 3 weeks ago:
Don’t they have a pretty serious population decline going on?
- Comment on Self-Driving Teslas Are Fatally Striking Motorcyclists More Than Any Other Brand: New Analysis 3 weeks ago:
Still probably a good idea to keep an eye on that Tesla behind you. Or just let them past.
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 3 weeks ago:
Also a bunch of other issues with small town living like lack of privacy/anonymity, entertainment, restaurants, government services, etc… And these problems get more severe the smaller the community.
But people really did spread out to smaller towns during COVID. Property values went crazy in a lot of small towns around me.
- Comment on New Ansible comm 3 weeks ago:
Haven’t used Ansible in years. Has it been improving over the years or has it mostly just stayed the same?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
There is no one thing. Democrats have floundered for… decades. They did a thing during Obama but largely as a party they’ve done nothing for most of America except maintain.
Then there’s MAGA which is kind of a new thing. It goes beyond ideology. I’d argue there is no ideology, beyond maybe a few wedge issues that are just used to build ranks. To me it kind of looks like useful idiots being wrangled by those that control information. But the idiots are at the top and the bottom of the chain so it’s confusing.
People also got soft, complacent, and poorer. Lots of people just completely checked out of their civic duties. Either because they can’t be bothered, or because they’ve got more important things to worry about.
There’s probably also lots of other topics leading into the current political climate that I haven’t even touched on. Trying to explain it away as one thing doesn’t really work.

- Comment on Is it safe to travel with your phone right now? 4 weeks ago:
IIRC, you have to enable it on some versions of Android. I don’t see the option to disable it on my Android 15 phone but I do recall having to enable it before on older versions. A quick Google search for your version should help.
- Comment on What is everyone's favoured domain name provider these days? 5 weeks ago:
PorkBun has been pretty great to me for years. Good prices, lots of TLDs, good support, and their site is pretty straight forward.
- Comment on Plex is increasing Plex Pass prices and paywalling remote playback for personal media at $1.99/month or $19.99/year. 5 weeks ago:
Wish they had a client for PS5.

Just put in a bullshit address that goes nowhere. They don’t verify it.
- Comment on Chromecast (2nd gen) and Audio cannot Cast in 'Untrusted' outage 1 month ago:
Well, they’re all but discontinued now.
- Comment on Cities: Skylines 10th anniversary will bring updates and DLC for both games 1 month ago:
Would be really cool if they could actually fix the game so it’s playable though. Tired of all the simulation limitations and the fact that once you reach a certain size, the city just doesn’t work.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Probably pig butchering but I’m not aware of anyone that’s went in and came back with a story yet

I’m not sure I remember the address. Might have to spend a bunch of time on this archive today.

I’m glad Techdirt still exists.
- Comment on Kevin Rose officially relaunching Digg.com 1 month ago:
Probably wouldn’t get me to leave Lemmy, but I wouldn’t mind another competitor to Reddit.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Just a guess, but it’s probably not your ISP. @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip implemented IP based blocking because of a UK law recently.
