- Comment on Chinese social media companies remove posts ‘showing off wealth and worshipping money’ while the gap between the country's rich and poor widens 1 day ago:
China: let’s get more money through glorious capitalism
Also China: wait not like that stop it
- Comment on How can I create an alter ego for publishing stories? 5 days ago:
Similarly, I was reading about a music artist and it said on their bio that nobody knows who they are or their real name… They have concerts and make millions from sales, surely someone somewhere has to put their name down to send money to them?
Before you tell me about crypto, that’s not how the real world works
- Comment on What is the General Consensus of Web3? 1 week ago:
“The term “Web3” was coined in 2014 by Ethereum co-founder Gavin Wood, and the idea gained interest in 2021 from cryptocurrency enthusiasts, large technology companies, and venture capital firms.”
They tells me everything that I need to know.
- Comment on 224 Injured After Glitchy Diabetes App Drains Insulin Pump Batteries 1 week ago:
Why does it need a connection to another device in the first place though? Silicon is tiny and cheap; all the logic, sensing, and scheduling could be done inside the pump.
- Comment on 224 Injured After Glitchy Diabetes App Drains Insulin Pump Batteries 1 week ago:
That’s horrifying. Why would a potential life-threatening device be controlled by a smartphone app? What functions could possibly not be handled on the pump itself and need to be offloaded? What FDA crook was paid off to allow such a stupid thing to hit the market?
- Comment on Microsoft’s VASA-1 can deepfake a person with one photo and one audio track 2 weeks ago:
That was one of the tamest comments I’ve seen on the internet. There wasn’t even remarks about your mom.
- Comment on Which is the best Lemmy app for mobile? 2 weeks ago:

The sad part is that can actually be seen as discriminatory
- Comment on Breakthrough promises secure and private quantum computing at home 5 weeks ago:
What more likely to come out first: quantum computing or nuclear fusion?
- Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers 5 weeks ago:
Good, stop using Discord to host your shit
- Comment on What produced the old dead channel tv static audiovisuals on tvs? 1 month ago:
Yeah, the same way a radio tuned to a station could be static until you plug in an antenna.
You could also get hums and interference from other sufficiently strong EMF sources, like how AM radios can pick up the sound of transmission lines
- Comment on Why does this website have a loading screen to process my cookie preferences? 1 month ago:
I’ve seen a website process literally over a thousand third-party cookies before, so maybe this one also just has that many to churn through
- Comment on Let's discuss: Tetris 1 month ago:
I really liked Tetris DS. The retro NES graphics and remixed music was a fantastic love letter to those old games, and the songs were pretty damn good to boot. It was also the version of Tetris I was best at, for some reason I was a lot better with the old, flat, firm DS Phat buttons more than any other console. I forgot what level I got to in Endless but it was probably over 500. Multiplayer was also a hoot, with powerups and you could play with 9 other people that didn’t even need the game to play. (Remember those days when you didn’t have to all have a copy of the game to play together? What a concept!)
Highly recommend if you want to emulate it!
- Comment on Android users who have a keen eye for design and detail, how is the whole stutter/lag situation? Esp. after a few years of use? 1 month ago:
The first thing I do on any new phone is go to developer options and turn all 3 animation settings to off. It’s a night and day difference. I’ve probably saved a collective hour of my life not waiting for animations lol
- Comment on Kids Online Safety Act gains enough supporters to pass the Senate 1 month ago:
I didn’t see anything in the article about “effectively forcing everyone to identify themselves to online platforms,” care to elaborate?
- Comment on Would telescopic LCD screens be possible? 3 months ago:
I think your limiting factor would be bezels, so there would be a small gap between the screens. Plus this would be a mechanical nightmare to make cheap and durable

- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 4 months ago:
I’ve found more far-left shitposting here than anywhere else on the internet, which might be some people’s cup of tea but I find incredibly obnoxious. I’m not even right-leaning. Glad I can block whole instances with the app I use at least
- Comment on The only thing keeping us Millennials going at this point 4 months ago:
I know we’re only a bit over halfway there, but it’s weird and slightly disappointing how a good portion of those things haven’t changed much. As if they expected the change from 1992 to 2042 to be as drastic as the change from 1942 to 1992.
Bet those sneakers will sell for a fortune, if they don’t land in a museum
