Or just come to Canada and die in a fire that was set by the mafia in your egressless airbnb.
- Comment on I'm looking for a particular community in Lemmy. It's kind of like ask Lemmy, But with really bad responses. It's more of a joke community. I've seen it in the past but can't find it 4 days ago:
It’s also just that idiot repost bot taking posts from other instances.
- Comment on Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed 6 days ago:
If you have a backlog of games that you have bought, why do you need an online subscription for them? Or am I misunderstanding something?
- Comment on Can you please help me pick a gaming desktop for my son that can run Monster Hunter Wilds? 1 week ago:
What about Sunshine/Moonlight instead? Assuming they have a good PC themselves.

They will just become packers at Amazon.

Doubt.

You lose all the ear-vitamins that way.

The universe ending is not actually fact. It’s just a theory.
- Comment on OK what is your Roman name? 1 week ago:
This is some soylent green stuff lol.
I’m guessing you eat these as a way to not be really bothered with eating meals?
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 1 week ago:
I disagree with this assessment. If the default association suddenly disappears, I want it to prompt me the next time what I want to use as default instead. Not arbitrarily set a default for me that I do not agree with.
Luckily I run linux now (Arch btw) since last summer.
- Comment on Logitech’s new light-powered keyboard doesn’t even need the sun 2 weeks ago:
Looks like it’s carving out a piece of profits from more niche markets. The Soleil is dropping for pre order on October 10. But unlike Logitech, this one has FOSS firmware and is not made of plastic that degrades within three years.
But also probably 4x the price.
- Comment on Cable placement a little weird, but the ergonomics are excellent. 2 weeks ago:
body part is made to be in multiple different states without any tension info graphic implies that one state is “unnatural”
Yeah, that’s dumb.
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 2 weeks ago:
Your comment gave me an idea:
Can you imagine if a government, instead of mandating the stupid age verification system, would not bar “minors” from accessing the sites. But rather they would force the sites to implement a “tutorial on sex, sexuality and consent”, similar to the shitty corpo-mandated tutorials on topics like harassment, racism, security and GDPR. Heck, doesn’t even have to be as lengthy every time. Just simply play back a 30 second segment when opening the website and then have the individual answer a set of multiple choice questions to verify they have paid attention.
The government could sell it as “Teach the Children!” instead of “Protect the Children”. But here’s the biggest benefit of the former compared to the latter:
- It teaches children
- It’d also teach adults indiscriminately, who then may or may not really learn something ("Wait what? No really means no? I have a clitoris? How is babby formed?"
- It’d also eschew implementation of e-id and state monitoring
- Comment on erotic scenes actors and actresses, how do you not get aroused while acting in those scenes? 3 weeks ago:
Viagra probably. For men at least. For women it’s probably more about ignoring the presence of the camera.
- Comment on Nintendo’s Switch Mario Galaxy collection will retail for $70 3 weeks ago:
The highest compute cost.
- Comment on best comment under a video about the new iphone 17 4 weeks ago:
I have a 11 Pro and swapped battery once after four years, so about a year ago. It’s good as new again. Can highly recommend a battery swap.

Beep-boop!
- Comment on FFmpeg 8 can subtitle your videos on the fly with Whisper 5 weeks ago:
I’m just going by what the default image viewer on iOS is capable of:
Which is pretty yank, but I know that there’s also Google Lens on android, which does a lot better job, so I assume there’s actual better, more manga reading suited software out there for both mobile OSes.
I saw some implementation on Linux that worked a bit, but…
- Comment on FFmpeg 8 can subtitle your videos on the fly with Whisper 5 weeks ago:
I need something like this but for image viewers and for manga/manhwa. It always amazes me how there’s options for this on mobile, even on IOS, but desktop linux doesn’t have anything comparable that has integrated text recognition and translation overlay.

What does it steam? Buns? What does the 4K stand for?
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 1 month ago:
I have a volume, let’s call it “Shit I put in here that I have randomly acquired over the years”, mostly smallish files of any nature, text, image, executables, archives, that I’ve been carrying with me for over two decades, cloning from one drive upgrade to the next, surviving multiple systems. I’ve noticed that starting with Windows 7, defender without so much as a notification, started removing random files it deems malicious. I suspect they may have been quarantined at first, but other times outright deleted, as I’m sure the default behaviour settings have been overridden by updates numerous times. I’ve had a couple executables that were doing direct memory reading and injection for some MMOs, think packet sniffing or botting/automating certain tedious tasks, and defender would eliminate the executable without so much as a warning when I have extracted backup archive of it.
- Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 1 month ago:
The reddit API can only go back 1000 comments (or pages of comments, 25 per page, I forgot which). I went back to about 2019 fairly well, but none of the scrubbing scripts really accomplished anything beyond that. How were you able to delete all your comments and posts?

- Comment on Bill and Melinda French Gates and Warren Buffett’s Giving Pledge after 15 years: Only 9 of the 256 billionaires actually followed through on giving away half their wealth 1 month ago:
We can only speculate, but his infidelity with staffers was known, and him being on the Epstein list may have been the final straw.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 1 month ago:
Hey fellow RO player.
I quit when my hometown Morroc got obliterated on iRO. I’ve tried coming back once right after the server mergers, but I don’t know what kind of methodology they’ve used when determining name conflicts, I’ve lost quite a few character names to what I assume were randoms from other servers banking on taking over the names. Pissed me off way too much. Tried coming back a second time about a year ago, but I was unable to figure out my character account passwords with the warp portal changes and what not.

And the reason Melinda divorced him.
- Comment on JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip 2 months ago:
This is why I can’t be angry at people that didn’t vote or voted 3rd party instead of democrats. People were rightfully disenfranchised. It’s like blaming a rape victim for dressing a certain way.
- Comment on JD Vance’s team had water level of Ohio river raised for family’s boating trip 2 months ago:
You mean a minority? Trump won by 2.3m votes going by popular vote.
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 2 months ago:
Yeah, if we just take heat pumps for example, or even cpu water coolers, the heat is carried away from where it’s hot to somewhere where it can be radiated off and equilibrium of heat conducting material and surrounding occurs.
You can bet your ass that these US data center are just brute forcing heat exchange via evaporation instead to make the initial investment cheaper. It’s the equivalent to burning coal instead of straight up going for the renewable but initially more costly option when it comes to energy production.
