I thought the police shot them all except one?
- Comment on Just that extra bit of rage 5 days ago:
Yes I know that. But again that’s not my point. The point is that we need to come up with a better method than bars.
- Comment on Just that extra bit of rage 5 days ago:
I meant in the notification bar, without having to install a 3rd party tool, either.
- Comment on Just that extra bit of rage 5 days ago:
It’s almost as if some simple bars aren’t enough information to accurately convey connection quality. I really wish someone would come up with a better system. At the very least, there should be a way to convey more than just signal strength.
At the very least, we should also be able to see signal-to-noise, tower saturation, connection speed, and the modulation scheme being used. All useful information for determining how good of a connection you’re really getting.

I think psychedelics only have that effect on people who are capable of feeling empathy.
- Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 6 days ago:
I know and I don’t watch any of that. Stremio replaces every streaming app except YouTube, so those are the only two apps I need on my TV.
- Comment on CNC 6 days ago:
We don’t talk to police, we don’t make a peace bond.
We don’t trust in the judicial system, we shoot guns.
We rely on the streets though we do battle in the hood.
I was born in the G Code, embedded in my blood. - Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 6 days ago:
Cause there’s nothing else to watch.
- Comment on Does it get windy in New York City? 1 week ago:
Well I too visited in the summer, and hugely regretted not bringing a sweater, so I don’t know what to tell you.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 1 week ago:
$50 is a lot to spend on booze. I can just stay and home and black out on $5 with a beer and three 100 proof shooters.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 1 week ago:
Or maybe I’m just introverted.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 1 week ago:
How can anyone afford to go to bars anymore? Drinking at home is much cheaper.
- Comment on Jurassic Park 1 week ago:
They did in Jurassic World, but I don’t remember any mention of the dinosaurs being inaccurate in JP.
- Comment on Does it get windy in New York City? 1 week ago:
Then why bother commenting?
- Comment on Does it get windy in New York City? 1 week ago:
Not only is it windy, it’s cold as fuck when you’re standing in the shadow of a building, even in the summer. And there a lot of buildings blocking the sun in NYC.
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 1 week ago:
Yeah sorry about that; you’re probably talking about my comment from the other day lol.
Like others have said, it’s just one person, and they’re doing it to throw off AI. Problem is that one sample point isn’t going to be enough. You’d have to get millions on board. The only that one person is doing is annoying everyone else.
- Comment on Why Are Some Democrats Backing MAGA's Anti-LGBTQ+ Censorship? 1 week ago:
IDK why but my state’s governor also backed internet censorship, and now I need a VPN just to look at porn.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 2 weeks ago:
Jarcasm?
- Comment on Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more 2 weeks ago:
I rather be a Boomer than be foolish enough to pay $60 every year for the same exact game. Pokémon has changed so little that I could pick up a modern title 20 years after playing my last one and still know exactly how the game mechanics work with no tutorial.
- Comment on Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more 2 weeks ago:
Nintendo deserves every bad thing that happens to them. They’re never getting a single penny from me ever again.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Mine is still memorizing phone numbers. I know the numbers to all my closest family members.
How do people who don’t memorize phone numbers get in touch with someone when their phone dies or they get arrested?
- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 3 weeks ago:
This was me 20 years ago.
Congrats, but what took you so long?
- Comment on 3 Outdoor broadband hub UK 3 weeks ago:
If they’re anything like the Verizon 5G gateways in the US that go in the window, then yes they’re great. So long as they use mmWave ultra wideband, and you have direct line of sight to the tower, they’re as good as a wired connection IMO. I get 1400Mbps both ways; literally maxes out my gigabit lines and I have to use wifi to hit those speeds. Latency is good enough to play competitive shooters too. I absolutely love it. And for only $50/mo it’s literally twice as fast as cable for half the price.

You’re insane if you think I’m reading that wall of text. Did you remember to take your medication today?
Use the browser if you want, or don’t. You don’t have to justify yourself to me; I couldn’t care any less.
Best wishes to you, friend. ✌️
- Comment on Why are podcasters/vloggers suddenly holding tiny mics? 4 weeks ago:
IDK why but it it annoys the hell out of me, especially given that those kind of mics are meant to be worn on your shirt.
If you’re going to make a career out of media, you should at least know how to use your equipment properly. It’s unprofessional and almost as annoying as starting your video out with “hey guys”. Take a basic course on communications before you begin broadcasting is all I’m saying. Put in the bare minimum effort.

He donated to groups that opposed Prop 8. The whole reason why Brave Browser exists to begin with is because he was kicked out of Mozilla. The entire browser is built on bigotry.
Don’t make me do your work for you, this is widely available information. There’s this thing, called a “search engine”, that allows you to search the web for entertainment, news, and information. Give it a try sometime. Here’s a link: duckduckgo.com
- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 4 weeks ago:
Jesus Fucking Christ, it was $4.99/month a few years ago; what did Microsoft expect? Even at that price it was hardly worth paying for…
I haven’t paid a subscription for entertainment for a handful of years now, but now I’m starting to understand why people are canceling streaming services en masse. Disney+ was $6.99/mo back when I had it but I heard it’s also $20-something a month now too. People just needed a good excuse to cancel, and now they have one.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 4 weeks ago:
Don’t be ridiculous. Why would I pay for streaming, when there are endless ways to get it for free?
Yeah I had a carefully curated collection back in the 90s and 2000s, but I don’t see the point of meticulously building playlists anymore when an algorithm can do it for me in an instant.
Only reason why I even still have music on my PC is because I’m a DJ. So I maintain a rotating collection of about 500 tunes in lossless quality, and only because you can’t always rely on streaming for a mobile gig, since wifi and/or cell data isn’t always available. If I could I would just clear up the hard drive space, and only keep the tunes that I absolutely must have in high quality. (And for nostalgia’a sake I still keep a copy of the first two songs I ever downloaded from Napster back in 2000.)

Well luckily for you I have restaurant industry experience, so I already know how to stack them the right way.

Doom has maybe $2 of gameplay by modern standards, but if you’re happy then it wasn’t a waste of money.
