- Comment on Meta Censors #Democrat when searched for 9 hours ago:
Makes me wonder if it was something like a lot of people were scrolling those hashtags and leaving hate comments and it triggered some automated hide feature and now they’re trying to find some middle ground. That’s being very generous to Meta though.
- Comment on Conservative people are the moist toxic and aggressive people for no reason 22 hours ago:
What the fuck is he on about? Ivory towers? It’s a fucking federal holiday for Christ’s sake.
- Comment on Hulu quizzing about the ads played 1 day ago:
I think it usually is, but I haven’t seen very many of these and I try to ignore ads as a form of protest lol.
- Comment on Based Red Dead 1 day ago:
There is a certain type of whataboutism where people are just super eager to remind people that “well, actually, white people were slaves too” when referring to slavery in America. It’s likely why they appear to be more on guard about what you’re saying.
- Comment on Hulu quizzing about the ads played 1 day ago:
Hulu does this thing sometimes where you can choose which ad you want if two videos. Usually there is a timer to pick a default for you. I don’t see a timer on the screen, but I’m still wondering if Lexus is using that feature for this ad. Did it not progress until you selected something?
- Comment on How is TikTok being blocked in the US? 2 days ago:
This is how.
- Comment on Anon's date has a third degree burn 4 days ago:
We did it, Lemmy!
- Comment on Anon's date has a third degree burn 4 days ago:
Not just phrases, there’s a whole set of strategies.
I went to urgent care for testicle pain and they asked me if I was experiencing depression/anxiety. I think it’s part of their standard questions, but like, still.

Btw I use Arch.
- Comment on Mark Cuban is ready to fund a TikTok alternative built on Bluesky's AT Protocol | TechCrunch 4 days ago:
It’s also why I think people are having such crazy reactions to the pending ban, even the thought of withdrawal is too much.
I feel like this is a pretty shitty over simplification. People are mad about the censorship aspect and see it as yet another step towards authoritarianism (or deeper into it, not trying to split hairs about the current state of the US government).

And people beginning the conversation with “blah is a service you can self host” doesn’t help. Such a personal pet peeve.

I love seeing “democracy dies in darkness” peeking through the paywall/login barrier.
- Comment on Steam has the best UI 4 days ago:
Are you genuinely insinuating that something like Epic Game Store paid for this as guerilla marketing?
- Comment on Steam has the best UI 4 days ago:
I click library. I am taken to downloads. Silly me.
- Comment on Anon expects more 1 week ago:
Huh?
- Comment on Anon expects more 1 week ago:
Didn’t exactly one small developer say this in a tweet and even then everyone took it out of context?
- Comment on Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries? 2 weeks ago:
The best example I can think of, and this is being very generous to the AI bros, is that they’re trying to compare it to obsolete creative positions. Think about animation. Each frame used to have to be hand drawn and colored entirely by hand. There was a lot of heavy lifting going on in the process that weren’t necessarily creative but still required for the final product. I think they’re trying to say that we’ll need less work like this.
I’m not sure I agree or how accurate their claims are.
- Comment on I love my smart TV (From Mastodon) - Repost 2 weeks ago:
Because finding dumb screens is actually difficult and smart TVs are cheaper.
- Comment on Microsoft mimics Google UI when Bing users search for Google 2 weeks ago:
If they can get the minus feature working it would be perfect. Like “-blah” should exclude “blah” but it doesn’t do anything.
- Comment on Which one are you? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve gotten down air frying my frozen microwave breakfast sandwiches down to a science. They never felt right in the microwave no matter what I tried.
- Preheat to 350° F, set to 6 minutes, turn on turn reminder.
- Separate the bun, sausage, egg, and cheese while you wait for pre heat to be done. Set then in the fridge.
- Once preheated, put the sausage on a bun and egg on a bun in the basket and put it in the air fryer. Leave the cheese in the fridge for now.
- After 3 minutes the turn reminder will go off. The sausage and egg are cool enough to touch base handed still. Flip the sausage. Flip the egg too, but put the cheese under the egg as well.
- When it’s done it’s hotter so you might need to use something to grab it instead of using a your bare hands.
Perfection.
- Comment on Anon doesn't wash 2 weeks ago:
My guess is that Anon made an assumption about what they were attempting to do while washing it off and that night didn’t put a lot of effort into the cooking and also expected it to taste bad.
- Comment on Anon doesn't wash 2 weeks ago:
I’m confused what they think they’re washing off. If you don’t believe the cooking kills the germs then you’re not cooking it right (or are confused). If you think it’s something that won’t come off with cooking like dirt or dust, then, ew, why are you getting chicken from somewhere that gets it covered in dirt or dust?
- Comment on Anon's PC works 2 weeks ago:
I’ve upgraded pretty much everything in my 2009 PC and only just finally bought a new CPU. I just need a new case.for everything. The last straws were Elden Ring being CPU bottle necked at 20 FPS and Helldivers 2 requiring some instruction that wasn’t on my CPU.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s more work than you’d think. Plus, much like people pursuing other forms of content creation, there are a few people making a ton of money and a whole lot making little to nothing.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 2 weeks ago:
As far as I understand it, the “porn bans” are actually laws that force strict ID requirements, not literally banning porn. (I’m not trying to debate whether they’re effectively porn bans, I’d agree they are.) So sites that are paid access only probably have an easier time proving they don’t let minors in.
- Comment on I got into the wrong career lol 2 weeks ago:
Easy gig compared to what? Certainly there are more difficult jobs, but I’d hardly think it’s easy. This feels like the same mentality as people who say it’s easy to be a streamer, or the way people would say it’s easy to be a YouTuber a decade ago. I think there is a lot more work that goes into it than you suspect.
Especially if you’re saying it’s “for women only” implying it’s just male gaze propping them up. If you really believe that, wouldn’t that make it more difficult? Wouldn’t that imply women only have a few years to make money while they’re in their “prime”? Wouldn’t that imply they need to have a strict diet and workout routine to maintain their figure?

- Comment on ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down 2 weeks ago:
This is all such bullshit. Like, for real. It’s been a common criticism of OpenAI that they over hype the capabilities of their products to seem scary to both oversell their abilities as well as over regulate would be competitors in the field, but this is so transparent. They should want something that is accurate (especially something that doesn’t intentionally lie). Their now bragging (claiming) they have something that lies to “defend itself” 🙄. This is just such bullshit.
If OpenAI believes they have some sort of genuine proto AGI they shouldn’t be treating it like it’s less than human and laughing about how they tortured it. (And I don’t even mean that in a Rocko’s Basilisk way, that’s a dumb thought experiment and not worth losing sleep over. What if God was real and really hated whenever humans breathe and it caused God so much pain they decide to torture us if we breathe?? Oh no, ahh, I’m so scared of this dumb hypothetical I made.) If they don’t believe it is AGI, then it doesn’t have real feelings and it doesn’t matter if it’s “harmed” at all.
But hey, if I make something that runs away from me when I chase it, I can claim it’s fearful for it’s life and I’ve made a true synthetic form of life for sweet investor dollars.
There are real genuine concerns about AI, but this isn’t one of them. And I’m saying this after just finishing watching The Second Renaissance from The Animatrix (two part short film on the origin of the machines from The Matrix).
