- Comment on Lemmy.zip staff welcomes lemm.ee users, with between 150 and 200 registrations in 24 hours 6 days ago:
I would like to thank admins and moderators of lemm.ee for bringing up this amazing community. I was one of many reddit refugees and got lucky to find lemm.ee. I’m not really active user, more of a lurker, and lemm.ee let me explore all the (im)possible instances I could think of. Can’t explain the feeling, I’ll miss it probably more than I admit, cause it left an impression in me that people can do good things from their hearts.
Was thinking of going to lemmy.zip like a lot of other folks, but will probably try piefed and/or mbin first. Main reason being the ideological opinions of lemmy developers…
Once again: thank you for all your hard work, I really do appreciate it, even though I was just a peasant lurker. Thank you a good luck in your future endeavors.

- Comment on GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins 2 weeks ago:
While I appreciate increased visibility for such (often awesome) mods, I kind of doubt good guys at gog can manage to ship actual versions of them.

- Comment on How much has the ratio of accidental vs intentional pregnancies changed over time? 4 weeks ago:
Not sure how it was elsewhere but where I live people usually had more kids because there were no retirement and once your body was weak you needed someone to provide for you. And more children = better chance of providing for their parents.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 4 weeks ago:
Holy fucking shit! I live under the rock in the middle of nowhere so I’ve heard only some brief parts of “something wrong with DOOM Eternal music” but nothing factual. Now I gave the time to read the whole article and I’m speechless. 'Cause this is bad, really, really, REALLY bad. I feel sorry for people that have to work and live under such assholes like Marty obviously is…

After reading your comment I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I tend to not buy where owner of the store treat me like shit. Neither in real life nor online.
- Comment on Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors 1 month ago:
It’s about that time frame. He went there few times between 2012 and maybe 2020, or year before coronavirus.

Wow, things have changed then.

No.
- Comment on Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors 1 month ago:
Idk, I wasn’t there myself. My friend went there multiple times though (last time before corona) and he said cash was often/usually needed.
- Comment on Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors 1 month ago:
And yet everyone will pay with cash.
- Comment on Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors 1 month ago:
Yes you can! And Nintendo will then sue your ass off :-D
- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 1 month ago:
Sure, it might be $80,why not? Also I might skip it. Or wait for sensible sale like $5 in a bundle. Backlog keeps expanding anyway and I doubt this will be even worth half the rrlease asking price…
- Comment on Is it weird to juggle in the park? 1 month ago:
It’s completely fine. Unless you’re juggling with your balls or other’s naked body parts.
- Comment on Five-minute EV charging: CATL says "Hold my electrons and watch this" 2 months ago:
Meanwhile the fastest charger in my city is ~50kW and is often out of order, so you ha e to go slower because most others are 25kW… And it’s not better anywhere near, half hour drive gets me to no better chargers. This lack of infrastructre where I live is one of the reasons I still don’t have bev (also price).

Terrorist children of terrorists! Now that’s complete.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
I have to live with Windows at work so that’s where I use Notpad++. I’m fine with Kate at home.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 2 months ago:
Just from top of my head and from what I have to use at work:
- Dolphin vs. Explorer - Dolphin is sooo much better and useful it’s not evwn funny
- Notepad++ vs. Notepad - day and night, even though Notepad got an overhaul in W11 it’s still piece of shit compared to Notepad++
- literally any foss player vs. what MS offers - be it VLC, SMPlayer, MPV, anything is better than windows built in crap
- ImageGlass, Nomacs, Gwenview, etc. vs. MS Photos - same as above, windows picture viewer is now worse than ever while open source alternatives get better and better
- and plenty others, like Linux vs. Windows, lol
- Comment on Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices 2 months ago:
I was looking at simple 2 bay home NAS and Synology was - quite logically - one of the contenders. Now I’m glad I ordered differently. Went with Asustor AS5402, which might be not as polished package as a Synology option, but they’re very open about it and say it’s just regular PC so you can instal e.g. TrueNAS if you want. This openness convinced me.

It just stopped receiving updates, even security ones.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 3 months ago:
Well, how’s it supported? This is usually what kills these phones. Even brand like Xiaomi dump their non-flagship model really soon. I have one, bought as a new model, was officially supported for like a year. Great.
