• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s put it this way, the market price for the Switch 2 is roughly the same converted price in the UK. Now, to my knowledge, the UK hasn’t also introduced these tariffs quietly so I can’t, in good conscience, blame ol’ Delusional Donald for this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they’re delusional enough to think if they cater to the audiences of other sites they’ll tempt that audience to scrape off to their site instead of the site that came up with the thing and do it better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get rid of Whatsapp?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Install something like GBWhatsapp. Whatsapp seems to do ban waves every now and again so there’s no guarantee on the time frame you’ll get banned (it took about 4 years for them to catch up with me) but it’ll more than likely happen eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should a movie released in 1995 be considered an "old" movie?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think this is what Einstein had in mind when he spoke of relativity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. Armchair experts are just the best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People with far too much time on their hands, a desire to label everything and a tendency toward negativity. My personal gripe lately is weaponised psychoanalysis terms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this working?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s your next fishing attempt going to be? Calling me chicken?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this working?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would I do such a thing when you’ve done a thorough job of proving you’re the sort of person none of us want in there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this working?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not true, they’re just usually private servers specifically to keep the annoying children out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do animals think we're cute?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Fiiine, I shall keep you hooman”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has modern technology made espionage easier or more difficult?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it’s made it harder for me to get into my own accounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I need to choose a language when posting on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Precisely

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are Maries Sues hated while Gary Stus are loved?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that they aren’t an example, but a bad example. Even as a fan of isekai and someone who doesn’t mind the trope, I know how much hate Gary Stus get. Mention Kirito to anyone other than an unapologetic SAO lover and watch them convulse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Routine updates. Until recently hardware was getting better at such a rate they’d upgrade before software became an issue. The power increase curve has mostly plateau’d over the past several years so the incentive to upgrade is significantly lower so people are keeping their older hardware for longer and suddenly seeing the problems. That and the average user is now getting more aware of security updates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Both of which have proven to be lies by the likes of the Sony Xperia phones which still do nearly everything right. I say nearly because they’re plagued with bad fingerprint sensors which is the only reason I had to stop using my 1 III.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you think smartphone manufacturers will comply with EU's replaceable battery regulation?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And the same for the headphone jack. Getting rid of it just so they can force you to buy planned e-waste fast is less convenient and more expensive should be a crime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Like Trump says that the cartels have invaded Canada wouldn't they have to pass through the US, avoid checkpoint, border control on both sides and many other things? So Canada can only blame the US?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes but that would take too much logic for Trump to realise what a bad claim it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s an acceptable gender neutral replacement for “techbro”?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Chucklefuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does 'attempted murder' require a viable method?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally I’d say so but I could also see it getting taken under conspiracy to commit murder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can’t people accept that cats are human?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What on earth are you babbling? If the point you’re trying to make is that cats, like other animals, can show traits of humanity, sure, I’ll give you that. But if you’re trying to spew that a scientifically identified species is a completely different scientifically identified species… well then, I just might know of a bridge that’s become available for purchase in your area.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  When the Hail Hydra comes out a little too early so they call it a speech impediment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For different game store, legally, what happens if they close?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If no-one’s putting in some kind of legally-binding contract for you, assume it poofs. Whatever games you “own”, whatever platform they’re on, make a list. You might just have to go hunting for them on the high seas one day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Apathy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “That’ll show em!” They said, proudly looked at the divet in their face where their nose used to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A terrific film

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is feeling disrespected reason good enough to change jobs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any reason you feel to leave a job is a good enough reason. Just make sure you have somewhere else already lined up before you had in your notice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people still call each other at midnight on NYE?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It used to be that SMS service would get so overrun with HNY messages that it’d be a game to see how long it took to get a response. For some, at least. It truly was a time of making your own fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At what age do we switch from measuring a human by length to by height?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  [Insert face-palm gif]

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At what age do we switch from measuring a human by length to by height?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Orientation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did Third World countries handle the Covid Pandemic?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some would argue a healthier dose of common sense.
