• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good "frugal" movie viewing setups? (Recommendations)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of left field idea: have you considered a laptop? Find a used one from a few years ago with a big-enough screen size, set it up on a table a metre or so away from you, maybe get some decent external speakers… it’d be like a TV with all the movie gubbins built in.

  The map is kinda the idea, sadly.

  Please visit [en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_suicide_crisis_lines#C…](this list), find a suitable number for your country, and call them. They can help you better than anyone here. You don’t have to be suicidal to call.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Apple hire ex-IFD cyber folks, how is that good for their image and the rumors about Israeli involvement or hacking and all the Israeli hacking stuff like Pegasus?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Apple doesn’t give a shit about their image, and hasn’t for years.

  If you’ve bought into the Apple ecosystem, you either like the products or you’re subject to their hideous vendor lock-in, so you’re probably going to buy more Apple products either way.

  If you aren’t by this point, you probably never will be, so why would they waste their money appealing to you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If my dad had tried to do this to me I’d probably go along with it. Knowing what he was like, he would’ve set me up with a gay man, and we’d both have a laugh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if a billionaire wants to help you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  OP, if this is anything more than “hypothetically”, you are absolutely definitely being scammed right now. Break off chat with the “billionaire”. If you’ve given them your financial details, call the phone number printed on the back of your bank card. If you use Windows or MacOS, run a scan with Seraph Secure to make sure nobody has remote access to your computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I resigned to my last job and now I need to talk to my former boss to get the job back. Any recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People like that have surprisingly short memories.

  If you want to apply back, talk to your former colleagues who have good things to say. List them as your references, or drop their names.

  Don’t talk to your old boss. Don’t give her power over you again if your job will have nothing to do with her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you went to an island, and formed a new country and forcibly inject everyone there with a drug that makes them happy, you new country could surpass Finland as the "Happiest country in the world"⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Making a new country is much harder than that. You have to get a plurality of existing countries to say you’re a country before you can join the club. See also: Taiwan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the easiest types of internet videos to make that are not slop?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not easy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it worth selling on eBay in 2025?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  eBay banned me after I sold about twenty things. They refused to say why, or to reverse the ban. Just be aware that’s a possibility.

  If you have anything valuable or bulky, I’d take it to a proper auction house anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think I can live without that particular piece of junk. :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If I were you, I wouldn’t have let it have internet access in the first place. Try a factory reset and don’t let it online, and you’ll probably not even notice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does it damage my phone in any way it I use a faulty cable to charge it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Without knowing what, if anything, is electrically wrong with your cable, your adapter, or your phone, there’s no way to answer this question. It will most likely have absolutely no effect. There’s a small but non-zero chance it could cause catastrophic damage. You have to weigh up the price of replacing your phone against the price of replacing your cable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I put a cold oxygen plasma generator in my fridge?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, this. You can. But you probably shouldn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would you do if your gym trainer is 5 minutes late?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Five minutes late once? I’d be annoyed but I wouldn’t think about it again.

  Five minutes late, twice in a row? I’d ask what’s going on.

  Five minutes late, thrice in a row? I wouldn’t go back. There’s plenty of trainers out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Fediverse moderation, even more Draconian than Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There seems to be a misunderstanding. There is no central moderation here, merely what individual people will put up with, and what they won’t. If, for example, one community decides they won’t tolerate strawmanning and sealioning, they can show anyone who does those things the door. But, unlike Twitter, you cannot be entirely banned off the platform, because there’s always the option to spin up your own instance and federate with other instances willing to do so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I realised long ago that the human brain is not capable of handling everything that’s happening all around the world, all the time. I’m selective about what media I consume and I make extensive use of blocklists for things that aren’t my fight.

  Moreso!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any social media without memes and US politics?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As others have said, the best way to do this is to use a platform that has good block list features (most Fediverse platforms qualify), and then curate your block list. You can block users, communities, and instances you don’t wish to see here on Lemmy. Mastodon might be for you, because you can also block keywords (Mastodon and Lemmy will happily talk to each other, so you can subscribe to Lemmy communities from a normal Mastodon account and post simply by mentioning the community, or comment by replying to an existing post).
