Oh god. This is why we need to differentiate NSFW from NSFL tags on Lemmy.
- Comment on Immich: opinion revised 6 days ago:
Thank you for this. I plan to look at the authentication part more closely, but that’s the part I can’t quite figure out (being an amateur at this stuff but still trying), since I’m nervous with just a password accessing it remotely or from the phone.
Authelia, NGINX, there is so much that’s confusing to me, but this might help.

Freemium dark patterns are also enshittification. It’s slight clickbait/ragebait, but not far off.

Final Fantasy 8 still getting no love, I see…
- Comment on Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’ 3 weeks ago:
Seven figures? Try nine. Musk spent an absolutely staggering amount getting Trump elected.
- Comment on Urasawa is Genius 4 weeks ago:
Gotcha, thanks. Maybe I’ll try watching - usually I prefer the manga but maybe it will help fill in whatever’s missing for me.
- Comment on Urasawa is Genius 4 weeks ago:
Yea, Inio Asano is my favorite manga artist. To the extent you view Urasawa as a predecessor to the type of atypical and non-linear storytelling that Inio Asano engages in, that’s a strong recommendation to me to give Urasawa another shot.
I’ll try Monster again, and enjoy hearing about him from someone who is a passionate fan.
- Comment on Urasawa is Genius 4 weeks ago:
Haha, ok! I’m definitely fallible, but each time I start one I tell myself, “Everyone likes this guy, he’s clearly a great artist, you must just be missing the point. Try again.” And each time my eyes glaze over by chapter 6 and I just can’t continue.
But I’m the interest of avoiding the trouble of armed (or poisoned) conflict, what’s your favorite? Maybe I’ll give it another try.
- Comment on Urasawa is Genius 4 weeks ago:
I can’t say I like Urasawa’s manga much, it feels very bland. But I really love his documentary series on manga artists.
Here’s the one on Junji Ito, the rest are not hard to find online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0ZtMuCDlck

- Comment on Could you imagine a Nintendo title being advertised like this today? (Conker's Bad Fur Day, 2001) 1 month ago:
The images are all AI generated as well, which anyone with a few hours and a consumer GPU could create. Low effort AI slopware should disqualify it more than any porn-iness…
- Comment on Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave. 1 month ago:
Oh, agreed and understood. I just was putting an exclamation point on it.
- Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund 1 month ago:
Yes, not really better at all. These donations are all symbols, not meaningful except as a show of obeisance. So we should interpret it along the same symbolic parameters.
It’s being framed as a personal donation because Cook is acquiescing to Trump’s pending authoritarian takeover, but wants plausible deniability that that imputes to Apple. But since Tim Cook is the one acquiescing and he leads Apple, it’s indistinguishable from the same thing. It carries the same message: Apple won’t get in your way, do what you will.
- Comment on Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave. 1 month ago:
This is such a perfect A Boring Dystopia article because the denial of leave - after being shot in the foot by a terrorist - was so inconsequential to the reporter that it barely warranted a mention in the second-to-last paragraph.

How long did you learn instruments before you made this your full-time?
- Comment on 79% of Americans feel burned out as they put most vacation time toward errands, doctor visits, and family care 1 month ago:
After surviving multiple rounds of layoffs and working overtime, I had my first vacation this year for a week between Christmas and New Years…and got sick Christmas morning. Just feeling better now, in time for work tomorrow!
- Comment on 1 in 3 people 2 months ago:
I’m having a particularly braindead morning. Mario and Luigi are two people. 1 in 3 leaves the possibility of a third person being ugly and both Mario and Luigi being not ugly. Why does Mario conclude Luigi is ugly based on the 1 in 3 comment?

Don’t you dare speak that into existence.
- Comment on Nintendo 64 "Reimagining" Analogue 3D Delayed to 2025, First Look Revealed | Tech Raptor 4 months ago:
I did pre-order one, and two controllers. In 1990s dollars this is not really that expensive, is how I’m rationalizing it.
- Comment on Nintendo 64 "Reimagining" Analogue 3D Delayed to 2025, First Look Revealed | Tech Raptor 4 months ago:
I think Analogue typically supports Bluetooth in the consoles generally, but is very cautious about whitelisting specific controllers that are officially supported.
- Comment on Microsoft has a big Windows 10 problem, and only one year to solve it 4 months ago:
Yup…Windows 12? The evil monkey’s paw demon is like, “I’ll give you that wish for free.”
- Comment on 7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18! 4 months ago:
The overall average median lifetime earnings of $1,850,000 for men and $1,100,200 for women. Let’s just take the average and say an average American earns $1,475,100 in their lifetime.
The important thing to remember is, in an unequal system where workers have most of the value of their work taken by a single person who the system disproportionately favors, that value is translatable to literal life. They are directly, inexorably going to die having had that value simply transferred to the other person or people who collect that value. Or put succinctly, they are giving up life, and the CEO is gaining the value of their life.
Another note is that even though most valuations are stock, stock valuations do not exist in a vacuum. The stock market is the realizable increase in productivity value that we all collectively have caused.
So based on that principle, just for fun, let’s convert these fortunes to human lives, to better understand just how much (economically-valued) life force these people have taken from people:
Elon Musk: 262,000,000,000 = 176,259 human lives. Jeff Bezos: 208,000,000,000 = 141,007 human lives. Mark Zuckerberg: 203,000,000,000 = 137,617 human lives.

- Comment on Atari Jaguar Emulation Is Coming To iPhone | Time Extension 5 months ago:
I’m probably a masochist, but Alien vs. Predator, despite (and possibly because of) all its technical limitations and like 3 FPS framerate, was genuinely scary and a unique experience.
I also really enjoyed Iron Soldier. You’ve got the original Rayman. Uhhh… Cybermorph was alright.
So five games?

- Comment on Colorblindness check! 6 months ago:
No reason, just that memes follow demographics of the space. Lemmy is probably full of people who were in their late teens-through-twenties in 2007, so to that group, it remains a funny nostalgic callback.
And I’ll just predict that in 15-20 years Skibidi toilet and all the GenZ/Alpha memes will dominate middle-age spaces.
