  I’ve noticed the opposite problem: spiders are disappearing.

  Last summer my balcony was covered them. This year… well if they’re around, they’re hiding pretty damn well. I can’t find a single web this time around.

  Chili (without beans) and cheddar cheese. I’ll miss not having onions but I can live without.

  Or mustard and sauerkraut.

  I think it’s just VPN usage cause I block their attempts to send my data to third parties like Meta, Google, and Mixpanel—yet I can browse Imgur just fine in both Firefox and in the app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imgur's Community Is In Full Revolt Against Its Owner⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I use it daily and never have an issue. I wish there was a better site I could use cause it amazes me how often the app attempts to send my personal data to Meta. But unfortunately Lemmy alone isn’t enough to satisfy my need for fresh content ever since I left reddit during the API bullshit.

  Okay but is the game fun yet? I hate all the procedurally generated bullshit. If you’ve seen one planet in this game, you’ve seen them all. NMS is somehow even more boring than Starfield. At least that game gives you something to do. A boring story is better than no story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When something still uses micro USB in 2025⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the cables are difficult to plug in and break constantly. What was most frustrating about the standard was that the previous one, mini-USB, was considerably better by an order of magnitude. The connection wasn’t flimsy as hell, for one.

  The robustness of USB-C reminds me of mini-, which is the main reason why prefer it. I also appreciate that you can plug the cable in any direction and it’ll always work, every time. You can even plug it in reverse and it will still work, something we’ve never had in a USB cable before. Micro- sucks so much ass that I can’t believe that anyone would prefer it to over mini- or -C.

  Well yes it’s much more nuanced than that, but we’re in a 4chan community so I’m not about to drop a novel here, either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hires a goth chick⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Joke’s on you; I have ADHD. Meth just makes me even more quiet and reserved.

  If you want to come out of your shell and get laid at a rave, I recommend candy flipping. Psychedelics will turn the most reserved introvert into a social butterfly, and the MDMA is to take the edge off, so that you can just enjoy tripping in public without having to face your demons and discover the meaning of life. The combo makes sex so much better too.

  Well I was a huge Star Wars fan at the time (stopped caring after Disney ruined the franchise with excessive content bloat), so that might explain it haha

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Superfan Ben Stiller Has A Star Trek Pitch, Says It’s Important For Franchise To Return To Big Screen⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The 2009 film was really fucking good IMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pandering to conservative Americans⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The point they’re making us that every iPhone says “Designed in California, Made in China” on it, just like this product. “Designed in the US” means nothing if the vast majority of the actual production work is done in China.

  Fixed my comment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is raising all PS5 console prices in the US by $50, starting tomorrow⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Going to be”? I feel like this generation already failed at the starting line. I can’t name a single PS5 game I’d want to play that doesn’t already look and run better on my PC. The Switch 2 is running on several generations-old hardware so it’s already a non-starter. And Microsoft screwed up their naming convention so badly that I don’t even know what the latest Xbox is called. I don’t know.

  Hell, this console generation is somehow already five years old, and I still don’t know anyone who actually owns one of these systems. Everyone I know is still using their PS4s, XBones, Switches, and gaming laptops with 10, 20, and 30 series Nvidia GPUs. Hell, I haven’t seen any hype for modern console gaming since the XBOX 360/PS3 era. No one cares about owning the latest and greatest gaming system anymore. Everyone’s happy with what we have.

  Greed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks but that’s 3x more than I’m willing to pay for a piece of clothing. There’s no reason why it can’t be $20 tops.

  But what if I just want to buy one?

  I don’t have time to make my own; I have a job.

  Tell me about it. The only thing doing well in my portfolio right now is crypto, and I’m pretty sure that at least part of it is thanks to Trump’s meddling (and the weakening USD probably has something to do with it). Just wondering when the rug pull is going to come.

  What the hell is wrong with this person? Dad did the hardest part, now all they gotta do is show up.

  They should be thankful, not upset.

  Yeah I don’t get it either.

  When 3D games first came out, I stopped playing 2D games altogether. Needless to say, I don’t miss the blockiness of PS1 games.

  I’m an absolute graphics slut but IDGAF. I love modern tech like path tracing so much that I saved up and bought a 4090 at launch. No regrets.

  Oh I thought it was a live USB kind of a thing. Like just boot your custom OS off a flash drive and all your settings are already there.

  Shit like this is why I should read the article first before commenting (TBF, most people don’t).

  Dude it’s less than a minute. My Ryzen 7000 machine with a 7300MB/s sequential read speed takes longer than that to boot.

  Its*. This word is an exception to the rule of using an apostrophe to indicate possession. It’s is always a contraction for “it is”.

  Don’t toss your articles at me; I may not have phrased my comment the way you wanted me to (due to ADHD), but I know what I’m about, son.

  If your pinna is being bypassed, you can’t get proper 3D audio without faking it in software. Plain and simple. That’s the point I’m making. Nothing more.

  Joke’s on them; I already upgraded to Windows 11. I was among the first. It’s actually a solid OS once you disable all the ads and telemetry with O&O Shut Up 10.

  Unfortunately this is rather tame compared to the fucked up shit we put ratties through in the name of science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My earphones' cable has been oozing sticky goo for over a yer now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hot take: They’re IEMs, so they’re garbage nonetheless. For a proper soundstage, over ear open- or semi-open-backs are the only way to go.

  That said, I understand the need for a smaller headphone if you just need something playing in your ears during exercise or at work, which is perfectly fine so long as you’re not making them your primary pair of headphones.
