- Comment on Applying 'extreme heat' to lithium-ion batteries reportedly restores their capacity, and I think it's the sustainable tech breakthrough of 2025 1 day ago:
I think you mean they shouldn’t write authoritatively about things they don’t understand, because what you said is really gate keepy. There’s nothing wrong with learning.
- Comment on Need a tiebreaker 1 day ago:
Omg I did the same lol. Sort of. It’s not my primary one but it has recycling in it.
- Comment on If you're still on Lemmy... 1 day ago:
Yheir

VRBO. Idk if it’s European.
- Comment on Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims 1 week ago:
That’s a smellometer!
- Comment on TLS Certificate Lifetimes Will Officially Reduce to 47 Days 1 week ago:
Damn, if only there was some way to certify that.
- Comment on TLS Certificate Lifetimes Will Officially Reduce to 47 Days 1 week ago:
Certs are free through Let’s Encrypt (and have been for quite some time now, like a decade). Certs makes people peeking at what you’re doing along the route substantially more difficult.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
Idk, the only people I know who pay for YouTube premium are a queer couple.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
The ads make you gay
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
The “fediverse” are distributed online social networks using a thing called activity pub. Because they all speak the same protocol they can interact with each other. This is why Mastodon and Lemmy can talk to each other.
BlueSky uses something called AT. AT proto has three things to it where . The pds (I think it’s called) is where you can choose to store your data. Relays aggregate those. Then you have to have a way to view it. In activity pub the first two layers are the same thing and we typically call them “instances”. Running your own relay for AT is wildly expensive and to my knowledge nobody is doing it because of that. Not enough people use their own pds to store data to even really make it worthwhile. The vast majority of BlueSky users are actually using BlueSky itself. Even if you consider the fediverse to be things doing federation, BlueSky isn’t really as federated as they lead you to believe.

Hi, I’m Nicole, but you can call me the fediverse chick!
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 1 week ago:
The thought experiment is about how wrist watches are incredibly complex and hand crafted machines so if you dissemble one and put all the parts in a clothes dryer you won’t get a watch back. (I believe given infinite time and random movements you would eventually get a watch.)
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 1 week ago:
Worse, creationists use the “watch maker’s paradox” as evidence of creation. Same idea but watch parts in a washing machine.
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 1 week ago:
The funny thing is, if you truly have infinite monkeys, it doesn’t matter if they’re using it correctly or not. There is an infinite amount of them.
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 1 week ago:
If you have an infinite amount of monkeys and they’re all typing truly randomly, then an infinite number of them would get it correct on the first try. Which is sort of weird to think about lol.

Don’t you know that it’s sinful for men to lust for their wife’s pleasure?? /s obviously

“Where’s the poop knife?”

Bro literally hit her hair.
- Comment on 'There Are So Few Of Us Left': Even Full-Time Games Journalists At Big Websites Are Feeling It In 2025 2 weeks ago:
It’s so crazy to me that ads pay less and subscriptions cost more.
- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 2 weeks ago:
They’re either making stuff up or probably talking about how some culture or religion supposedly banned cunnilingus for a thousand years, or at least considered it taboo.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 2 weeks ago:
without controversy
Anno 1800 was an Epic exclusive (and Ubisoft’s Uplay) for a year on release.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, the “not supported” thing is just their terminology. They could decide to stop pushing them at any time. Though technically they could pull the plug on anything whenever, but they’re explicitly saying “we might stop supporting these unsupported Windows 11 installations at any time.”
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 weeks ago:
They didn’t get rid of it, they’re allowing you to upgrade to 11 and calling it unsupported. Just like 10 is unsupported.
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 3 weeks ago:
How often has that happened to you?
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 3 weeks ago:
As a noun to refer to humans?
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 3 weeks ago:
Obviously the exclusionary group is going to exclude the people they don’t like with their slogans though. Trans exclusionary radical feminists don’t believe trans women are women. The “adult human female” shit across from them “defining woman” or something to that effect.
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 3 weeks ago:
I just view it as a quirk of the language. “Guys and girls” or “guys and gals” are paired words. Guy is a casual way to refer to men, so I think people use girl as a casual way to refer to women because it’s sort of the pair to guy. Lady feels too formal.
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 3 weeks ago:
Just don’t use male or female as bound to refer to humans. That simple. If you’re talking about animals it doesn’t matter.
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 3 weeks ago:
Can’t help but notice you’re complaining about the post but never did what the post is complaining about.
