- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 1 month ago:
I’d argue Lemmy is turning into its own echo chamber. I’ve seen some mods power tripping just like good old Reddit. I erroneously thought people would learn from past mistakes, but sadly this is not what happened.
- Comment on Israel Is Buying Google Ads to Discredit the UN’s Top Gaza Aid Agency 2 months ago:
I thought our society had moved beyond viewing the world in such a dogmatic way. It’s like you’re saying, “Agree with me, or you’re a heathen!”
- Comment on Israel Is Buying Google Ads to Discredit the UN’s Top Gaza Aid Agency 2 months ago:
Your own link states that “in part” definitions may lead to highly subjective conclusions.
By this measure, the death penalty in the US would be considered genocide “in part” (especially if the judge, jurors, or clerks are mostly white and the executed person is of color, so as to establish that a “group” is targeting another group). A person acting in self-defense with a resulting death to the aggressor may also fall into the genocide criteria.
If Israel is only intent on destroying the Hamas terrorist organization (it is technically a political party, but they broadened their horizons on October 7th, I guess…), and not the whole Gazan/Palestinian population, could it really still be labeled as genocide? As I said, some people will even say a single death may be genocide “in part,” so this widening of the definition just weakens the term, unfortunately.
- Comment on Israel Is Buying Google Ads to Discredit the UN’s Top Gaza Aid Agency 2 months ago:
“It’s arguable whether there’s a genocide taking place. If Israel really wanted to eliminate everyone—civilians and Hamas alike—they’d have already done so, and from an operational point of view, it would be much easier and take less effort than targeted attacks.”

- Comment on Hey Reddit lurkers! my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is on Android now 3 months ago:
I’m not the OP, but I suspect Reddit may ban/shadowban any post promoting a reader app that doesn’t use the official API. Or maybe he posted there already and wants to spread his message on Lemmy too. As for RedReader, I use it occasionally, but I stopped posting and commenting on Reddit since the API exodus.

They announce a retro collection but ommit the list of games… 😑
- Comment on Reddit CEO teases AI search features and paid subreddits 3 months ago:
Sorry to disappoint you, but this kind of behavior is not exclusive to Reddit. Lemmy has its own share of power-trip mods in some communities. I thought (wrongly) that someone that took the effort of leaving Reddit and coming here would think differently than the average Reddit mod, but I guess the allure of demonizing anyone that disagrees with you is too irresistible for them.
- Comment on Unreal Engine supervisor at ModelFarm blasts 50% failure rate with Intel chips — company switching to AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X, praises single-threaded performance 3 months ago:
Most CPUs I’ve found in these Chinese sites claim they’re used parts, probably from old servers from Chinese companies, which explains the amount of Xeons being offered. But if the part comes in the original box, why would Intel/AMD create an official package for these failed QA parts?
- Comment on Unreal Engine supervisor at ModelFarm blasts 50% failure rate with Intel chips — company switching to AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X, praises single-threaded performance 3 months ago:
Why are grey market CPU parts more prone to failure? For GPUs I can understand due to possible mining usage, but CPUs too?
- Comment on Dark mode’s bright future: How dark mode will transform Wikipedia’s accessibility 3 months ago:
Yeah, Dark Reader is a godsend. I just got tired of all the light mode webpages and took matters into my own hands.
- Comment on NewPipe outage over: version 0.27.1 restores YouTube playback 4 months ago:
I’m a user if the fork “NewPipe Sponsorblock”, and so far I received no update.
- Comment on Is my voice annoyingly high? 8 months ago:
Your voice kinda reminds me of this youtuber which I’ve been subscribed to since old times.
- Comment on Biden admin providing $1.5 billion to GlobalFoundries to make computer chips in New York and Vermont 8 months ago:
Yeah, I was just wondering if they’ll really invest in advanced nodes, or will settle with outdated nodes for use in the automobile industry.
- Comment on Google Search is losing its 'cached' web page feature 9 months ago:
Ironically, the link to this as article is offline for me. “Cached” surely would solve my problem.
- Comment on Authy authenticator apps for desktop are being discontinued in August 2024 (Apple Silicon not included) 10 months ago:
That’s an awful decision by Twilo. I deliberately only install Authy on my Desktop computers because they’re always at home and cannot be easily stolen/lost like my phone.
- Comment on OpenAI CEO says Muslim tech workers fear retaliation for speaking out 10 months ago:
I feel like if this article was written with no mention of Arabs, Muslins or Palestinians employees, but just mentioned employees in general fearing being retaliated, Sugarfree’s comment would still stand nonetheless. And I kind of agree that if they fear expressing their opinions it’s because their opinions are too extreme and they know it. I mean, the “from the river to the sea” kind of opinion.
- Comment on Since Elon Musk’s Twitter purchase, firm reportedly lost 72% of its value 10 months ago:
If the company’s private, which means its stocks are not tradeable anymore, what’s the point in measuring the company value at this point?
- Comment on Lemmy Comments for YouTube is now available! 11 months ago:
What’s being proposed is that the extension would modify the page to add a Lemmy frame for commenting. This frame is autonomous in the sense the user must provide his Lemmy login information for it to work, which is different from Google login information. Google is not even aware the page is being modified by an external comment section, and even if it could detect it, it wouldn’t be able to track individual users.
- Comment on Google warns it will delete millions of Gmail accounts in December 1 year ago:
I read a variation of this news in the past where there was some major controversy about Google accounts that have active YouTube channels with videos uploaded to it. The solution is that Google would not delete inactive accounts if they have uploaded YouTube videos on it. I just don’t know of this policy still stands or if they changed their minds.
- Comment on Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube 1 year ago:
Perhaps it’s a little too late for YouTube to ride this trend. TikTok is even pivoting to long videos, as they know where the money is.
- Comment on Chrome extension maker tells of pressure to sell out 1 year ago:
I’m baffled Google is so uninterested in making a serious effort in combating this practice, in their own add-on store no less. The suggestions outlined by this developer seems like a good start, and are not too hard to enforce.
