• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any tips for setting up a Mac? A 15+ years Linux user needs help⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I set one up recently and it also asked for a phone number. Maybe there is a way to bypass that step but I couldn’t find it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mushrooms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well new fear unlocked, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mushrooms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone knows what that allergic reaction thing references? Sounds interesting

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is happening with non-luxury brands too. I was looking for a simple sports t-shirt lately and it’s actually really hard to find one without a huge brand logo at the front. Do people actually like this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Eat lead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure the point of creationism is that everything was put on the earth when it was created, including fossils etc. You can’t argue this with logic. My favorite spin off of this is Last Thursdayism where the earth was created last Thursday (regardless of what day it’s now) which basically uses the same argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horse-flippers? Have any horses from history, ever been fitted with horseshoes that improve their ability to swim?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This gave me some serious flashbacks but I’ve no idea when or why I would have watched it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Because mosts music tastes stagnate after your teens, you are actually admitting your parents music is better - because they are the ones making it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends what kind of music you were listening to though. If at 15 you were listening to 25-year old artists that’s not really your parents’ music, is it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Venom vs Poison⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless we’re talking about eating the snake. That could cause some confusion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Board games (board games, card games, table top RPGs) related active communities promotion post⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  !juegosdemesa@feddit.cl Spanish speaking board game community that’s more active than any English counterparts I could find.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current best lemmy clients⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m currently using thunder so haven’t tried the new version but eternity isn’t dead, it got a big update recently feddit.uk/post/15818616

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hermit Crab Housing Market⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow didn’t expect them to actually make a queue

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the American war on porn could change the way you use the internet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Let alone Spain has already implemented a system for this which is part of a bigger EU effort. politico.eu/…/spain-builds-porn-passport-to-stop-…

  Sadly, I don’t think this is going away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Messaging app that stores downloaded media in user accessible place?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Viber does this by default for media but it also doesn’t support offline chat backups and I don’t know if it’s something you’d want to move to in general.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Active communities promotion thread⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  More animal communities:

  !bats@lemmy.world

  !superbowl@lemmy.world (yes this is an animal community)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TeamViewer got hacked⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I find myself adding this to a lot of hack/breach headlines lately

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pay for it after trying the free version. Both spotify and YouTube music are terrible on the free version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When was “originally”? Lyric availability is the main reason I chose spotify over YouTube music. If it’s not included in the free plan then you can’t compare that and won’t pick spotify.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why does it feel like lately more and more articles fit Not The Onion or A Boring Distopia?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Android increasingly inconsistent?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if it’s increasingly. Auto update has never worked consistently for me on any android device. It also seems most people have an issue with at least one messaging app not getting notifications. It’s just with the changes in each version things break slightly differently every time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What does "araffe" mean?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Next step is for people to also start using it and we’ll experience the beginning of AI generated slang

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hear phrases like "half-past", "quarter til", and "quarter after" way less often since digital clocks have became more commonplace.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel this is the way that best reflects how you look at an analog clock. First hours then minutes. It’d be interesting to know if the amount of people saying time the analog way depends on the system used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #2891: Log Cabin⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you exclude the progressively smaller furniture I think I’ve been to some IKEAs that felt like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does it seem that people dislike recordings of their voice more than photos of themselves?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe because you hear your voice every time you speak but rarely in recordings so the difference is more jarring. Most people don’t spend all day looking at a mirror but probably see photos of themselves more often than they hear recordings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Regardless of home alone, every version of Carol of the Bells I’ve heard is great. And it sounds like a horror movie theme so I listen to it throughout the year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How many of you actually use the headphone jack on your phone?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought I’d use it when I got my phone but I’ve since found Bluetooth headphones that are actually convenient so I don’t. Now this headphone form factor is dying so I might go back to wired once they stop working. I hope the jack still exists by then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way to see user likes and dislikes on lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had the same idea but it seems only kbin users’ downvotes appear on kbin (but you can see lemmy users’ upvotes). Have you managed to see lemmy downvotes like this at some point?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do any languages have words for left & right that start with the same letter?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure about languages but do headphone letters actually get translated? I’ve always seen them as L-R.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phones should have FM radio again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t have to be a big emergency, FM can still be very useful. A few years ago there was an earthquake in my city that wasn’t too big but we still had to evacuate the building. I don’t remember any damage in my area but because everyone was trying to make calls there was ZERO cell service. So a bunch of people were gathered around my phone listening to a news station for updates because I was the only one who had brought headphones. Without FM this ability is now lost.
