OMG YES!!!
This makes me really happy because it’ll make collaborating with friends on things a lot easier.

With each passing year this comic ages more and more like wine.
- Comment on AI Is Destroying Grocery Supply Chains 5 days ago:
It’s like all those articles that read “The vehicle struck…” instead of “The driver struck…”, “A shooting then took place…” instead of “The officer then shot…”, etc, etc.
It’s a deflection of blame and whenever I see it it makes my blood boil.

Ah yes, the Torment Nexus.
Looks like the Horrors in the Dark will be existential tonight folks!
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 month ago:
One quick hack to make the shareholders happy with how much money you’ve been putting into a failing project: rename a successful one to the failing project’s name.
- Comment on Leaker Who Apple Is Suing Says 'Screw It,' Here's the Foldable iPhone Early 2 months ago:
I’ve literally seen pants that have what looks like pockets but when you actually check there no actual pockets there. It’s like they cut the hole, made the folds, then stitched them closed.
It blows my mind!

The shaft was only a 7.3?!?
Well we know what they’re into…

asymptomatic long-COVID
The hell even is that? Asymptomatic means no symptoms. Long-COVID isn’t a contagious thing, it’s literally a description of the symptoms you have from having COVID and the long term effects.
God that makes my freaking blood boil.
Damn @BigBenis@lemmy.world that was a hell of a conversation you we having.
- Comment on Japanese Government Calls on Sora 2 Maker OpenAI to Refrain From Copyright Infringement, Says Characters From Manga and Anime Are 'Irreplaceable Treasures' That Japan Boasts to the World 4 months ago:
I support the elimination of copyright in it’s current form
The way it was initially was fine IMO: 14 years, with an option to renew it at the end of those 14 years. ONCE.
Now in terms of patenting medications, if it was partially paid for with public money it’s the public’s patent. In other words it’s open for everyone. Made a new medication but took a government grant to help fund it? It’s public when it comes out, enjoy a nice hearty reward check for your efforts.

I agree, my source? Every time I try to lift a cat off of my lap or off of a surface they’re not supposed to be on.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 4 months ago:
Don’t forget to donate to your favorite distro (and other open source projects) to help them keep the lights on.
Gotta do our part to fight the massive mega corps from devouring every aspect of our lives.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 5 months ago:
It captures them a shitton of data that they very likely sell or use to get advertisers on board.

Another good day to live on the West Coast of the US I see.
Damn am I happy to live over here.

Only if they chose not to compete
- Comment on McDonald’s AI Hiring Bot Exposed Millions of Applicants’ Data to Hackers Who Tried the Password ‘123456’ 7 months ago:
They only did the right thing after getting caught openly doing the wrong thing, so I’d say I’d still be pissed.
They should have never put the system in place with such a simple vulnerability (which to me) says they take such a laxodasical approach to security that I wouldn’t trust them even now.
- Comment on 'End of 10' to Windows 10 Users: The Environment Wants You to Use Linux 9 months ago:
1-2 FPS‽ The horror! faints
Jokes aside I can more of a difference than that by simply forgetting to close a few tabs of YouTube before starting my games. Or even starting a game when my room is already hot.
1-2 FPS is basically a rounding error IMO.
- Comment on Tesla Reportedly Has $800 Million Worth of Cybertrucks That Nobody Wants 9 months ago:
Strip out the batteries and motors, hook them up to some after market controllers, slap them in a classic car, and now we’re cooking.

- Comment on Tesla's "Predictive" Odometers Had 9+ Drivers Complaining of Inaccuracy Before Lawsuit. We Even Found Video! 10 months ago:
“You should have driven this much after owning the car this long, so we’re going to put that in the odometer.”
Was my guess.
Probably to void warranties, make cars come back sooner for preventative maintenance, and come back sooner for leases.
- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 10 months ago:
I’ve started using FreeCAD for CAD work, I’ve used Fusion 360 for 5 years before trying FreeCAD (again, I tried it a few years ago) and it works pretty good.
It’s different and it’s taking some getting used to but it’s working out quite nicely so far.
- Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy 10 months ago:
Slavery never ended in the US, it just got better PR.
“Only prisoners can be sentenced to slave labor.” Makes a while bunch of stuff punishable by prison time and makes prison sentences longer.

And not just memes and shitposts you find elsewhere
Make things and share

I’d say there’s also some corners of Lemmy that feel like the slightest provocation leads to an absolute dog pile of people being super angry looking for a fight.
That aspect blows but it’s usually helped by making sure that the instance your account is on is federated (or specifically NOT federated) with specific other instances.
Though this place is so much more chill than Reddit it’s fucking mindblowing

Holy fuck!
- Comment on Technological Suggestions for LGBT+, Immigrants, Protestors, Anti-War Activists and Other Marginalized Groups 10 months ago:
On the note of “keeping your phone in airplane mode”:
No Bluetooth enabled devices is a good point too.
Those devices broadcast identifiable data whenever Bluetooth is enabled, and that data can be logged very easily. If an app has Bluetooth permissions it has the capability of logging that info. Or a simple device that logs nearby Bluetooth devices. About 2 years ago I placed a device in my apartment next to a road and within a week I had the habits of my neighbors logged with accurate timestamps. I took that device apart after that, it’s a macropad now.
So for the sake of privacy, no Bluetooth headphones, watches, etc near your “Go bag” phone when it has a battery in it. IMO avoid such devices in general.
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 11 months ago:
I’m liking Linux Mint and Kubuntu personally.
Especially Kubuntu for my main desktop PC, Linux Mint for my little clunker PC I use to run my 3D printers.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 11 months ago:
Keep talking about it abroad
