- Comment on The Great Migration to Bluesky Gives Me Hope for the Future of the Internet 8 hours ago:
It’s true, that’s the advantage of Reddit. But when I compare my homepage of Reddit after 15 years of refinement to that of my lemmy homepage after 1 year, my lemmy one is way better. Most of those niche communities devolve into memes and nonsense after a while. Great for searching, but for actually getting content on a regular basis from, mostly a waste of time.

They don’t have to have everyone on them to be good. In some ways it’s preferable not to. Reddit was far better before the Digg migration, and we might already be living in the golden years of Lemmy and not even realize it.

I think the smartest ones will. Really I don’t mind a smart intelligent community like this one.

Yeah they’ve gotten really weird about forcing you to use their app and put a credit card on it constantly. Really annoying.

- Comment on This researcher wants to replace your brain, little by little. The US government just hired a researcher who thinks we can beat aging with fresh cloned bodies and brain updates. 1 month ago:
You’d have zero control over your existence. Someone else would own that station and you’d exist entirely at their whim. They would decide if you get food, air, water, shelter. No real access to nature. I’d rather die.

Not the way I’d want to spend the rest of my life, that’s for sure.

It will take a very long time indeed before we can reach another habitable planet enough to alleviate an exponentially growing population, and forced birth control will be unpopular, not to mention probably Malthusian.
- Comment on Microsoft retires WordPad after 28 years — app no longer available as of Windows 11 24H2 1 month ago:
I didn’t mind having something light and built in for when I just wanted quickly to create a little rich text doc and not boot up full fat Word and the corresponding jump in resource usage and file size.

You’d have to experience death for the clone to continue being the only copy.

Is a forever expanding population of old people much better?

Not only that, there are products you can buy right now with solid state batteries. The first power brick with a solid state battery is actually available for purchase.

- Comment on In rare move from printing industry, HP actually has a decent idea 1 month ago:
Fair enough. But I don’t think not using it for this use case will change much.
- Comment on In rare move from printing industry, HP actually has a decent idea 1 month ago:
If it works, why not?
- Comment on In rare move from printing industry, HP actually has a decent idea 1 month ago:
I mean you can but it won’t look like the examples shown. Reader modes tend to focus on the text to the detriment of the pictures and formatting.
- Comment on In rare move from printing industry, HP actually has a decent idea 1 month ago:
I would definitely use it for the examples like recipes and spreadsheeets to improve the formatting if it worked as shown.
- Comment on Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy 1 month ago:
Yes, Czechia. We can order from Amazon.de, but it’s not usually much better than the other options, and returns and support are much worse.
- Comment on Amazon's Monopoly of the tech industry is ruining the US economy 1 month ago:
I am fortunate to live in a country where amazon is not strong and we have aggregated search engines that over all the small shops, compete against Amazon on selection and cost, often beating it. I hope it stays this way.
- Comment on What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now? 1 month ago:
For me, the sweet spot is in plug in hybrids, as long as you actually, you know, plug them in. You can cover all your daily commute and grocery getting 100% electric and then if you need to take a longer trip occasionally, you’re covered by the gasoline engine. We use like one tank of gas every 4 months on ours.

- Comment on Bluetooth 6.0 adds centimeter-level accuracy for device tracking — upgraded version also improves device pairing 2 months ago:
Yes, that’s what they strive for today (but generally are not able to achieve). Better accuracy on the tracker would allow better accuracy on the room tracking.

Very nice for home automation- have your music and lights follow you around the house for example. Check out Room Assistant
- Comment on FTC urged to make smart devices say how long they will be supported 2 months ago:
I only buy stuff that runs on standards and is accessible by FOSS or open protocols. I’ve never had to retire something because of the decision of a tech company.

Yeah it’s when you need a reasonable amount of RAM or disk that they really bend you over.
