- Comment on The fediverse in a nutshell 10 months ago:
Came here to say this.
- Comment on Anyone want to join me and my wife? 10 months ago:
Yeah, when I only skimmed over the title I was thinking, whoa, are we doing this on Lemmy? Okay, nice!
- Comment on Adobe abandons $20 billion acquisition of Figma 10 months ago:
Figma sounds a LOT like “fityma” in my language, which means foreskin.
- Comment on X to be investigated for allegedly Not Complying with EU laws on hate speech and fake news 10 months ago:
Good.
- Comment on Is lemm.ee abandoned by the admins? 10 months ago:
Perfectly reasonable! Thanks for your hard work!
- Comment on When this post is 6 hours old, lemm.ee will be going down for an upgrade 10 months ago:
Thank you, man! I was curious about your absence in the last 2-3 months, but figured there is not really much to do until the BIG upgrade. Thanks for being here, being you! Awesome admin, awesome instance! Thanks for all your work!
- Comment on It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholic 10 months ago:
Except when it’s not. I so much hate this rhetoric. You know what? You can freely think that I am one, and I genuinely think I’m not. If you think that I am one, that’s your problem, not mine. That’s why OP’s question is so hard to answer. Because everybody is just parroting this rhetoric.
And “you are clearly an alcoholic” comments in 3, 2, 1…
- Comment on It's almost impossible to deny being an alcoholic without sounding like an alcoholic 10 months ago:
That’s the neat part. You can basically start over after a good throwing up.
- Comment on Google DeepMind used a large language model to solve an unsolvable math problem 10 months ago:
The Funk, the Whole Funk, and Nothing but the Funk

- Comment on Firefox for Android now supports over 450 add-ons 10 months ago:
Web archives Bypass Paywalls Clean ClearURL View Page Source (I’m seriously surprised it’s not a basic feature.)
- Comment on The "i" in Linux and Linus have different pronunciations even when they shouldn't. 10 months ago:
Like SQL. It took me a bit time to learn that the one from MS is Sequel and the other ones are Es Queue El.
- Comment on A firm providing AI drive-thru tech to fast food chains actually relies on human workers to take orders 70% of the time 10 months ago:
Millenials are actually somewhat the exception because we actually needed to use computers. Generally speaking it got worse because every fucking thing is abstracted away from consumers.
- Comment on Why do people always assume you're part of a group just because you're defending them? 10 months ago:
You did good! Keep it up!
- Comment on Why do people always assume you're part of a group just because you're defending them? 10 months ago:
I’ll admit I stopped reading around halfway. Maybe earlier.
- Comment on iMessage will reportedly dodge EU regulations, won’t have to open up 10 months ago:
They switched because their Androids were slow, buggy and had issues.
Yeah. If they would have spent the same amount of money on a high-end Android phone, those issues would have gone away. People are always comparing cheap low and mid-level shits to iPhones. Which is not very fair. Try an S23 Ultra or a Pixel 8 Pro and tell me it’s slower than an iPhone.
- Comment on Discord is on a quest to become a better messaging app 10 months ago:
You usually know a company is slowly going to shit when they start to be serious and stop doing fun in their products and ads. Then you know lawyers and shareholders and people who think you can only do business with a straight face started to take over the company. Which is just sad.
- Comment on YSK that chiropractors are not medical doctors and "Systematic reviews... have found no evidence that chiropractic manipulation is effective" 10 months ago:
See, you are not a real doctor, Allen!
- Comment on Sony Steals Customers' Purchased Content - Piracy is COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED! 10 months ago:
Fortunately Sync just redirects to a link on my home instance. I know I saw a GH issue on what you mentioned but I haven’t checked it in a couple of months.
- Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them 10 months ago:
Interesting! Alcohol doesn’t have a barcode there?
Here it does. But the self checkout lamp will go to red instantly and a clerk has to come to approve your age.
- Comment on The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money 10 months ago:
Sync can do that.
- Comment on YSK that if your turn signal is blinking unusually fast (like 3 or more times a second), it generally means you have a bulb out. 10 months ago:
Not everybody knows what you know.
- Comment on YSK that if your turn signal is blinking unusually fast (like 3 or more times a second), it generally means you have a bulb out. 10 months ago:
Yes, there is mandatory inspection every 2 years here. Your car will absolutely fail if you use some uncertified shit.
- Comment on Average Lemmy Active Users by Month 10 months ago:
Yepp, that user was my first and only block ever. Yes, we get it. YT bad, Piped good. It was so annoying.
- Comment on What were your top favorite video games as a kid? 11 months ago:
Armageddon and World Party were pretty decent.
- Comment on He did though. 11 months ago:
I read this story in Barney Stinson’s voice.
- Comment on Hummingbird feet 11 months ago:
Exactly. Our legal drinking age is 18, but we were binge drinking every Friday from the age of 15. Not one bartender gives a shit here. At least back in the day. That’s 2003-2004.
- Comment on Hummingbird feet 11 months ago:
Not even 20 years ago smart phones and the internet weren’t ubiquitous. I’m only 35 but even I remember personal stories about bar disagreements where we just simply couldn’t use our phones to search the net. Because all they were capable of is dialing a number and Snake.
- Comment on Hummingbird feet 11 months ago:
There is an episode of HIMYM where they are in a similar situation. Before the smart phones they would argue over some things for days, now they just check it in 10 seconds. No fun.
- Comment on OpenAI's offices were sent thousands of paper clips in an elaborate prank to warn about an AI apocalypse 11 months ago:
