What kids do you know have energy at 6 am?
- Comment on Soft 1 week ago:
Kids weren’t meant to get up at 5:30 for school.
- Comment on Soft 1 week ago:
How in the world did you have energy as a kid to flip off anyone? I barely had energy to walk to the bus.

One is a for profit ad company controlled by a homophobe. The other is a non-profit foundation that isn’t… there’s a pretty big difference here.

Nah, someone just darkened/changed the contrast of the top image. Notice how the white snow has no details in the bottom image but it does in the top. And the bottom image the splotch on the wall is the same shape but larger. It’s just the contrast slider.

For those that don’t know, that’s a very famous Steve Jobs quote. Tim Apple is just repeating it
- Comment on Advice on swapping from Synology to a ugreen 2 weeks ago:
Well for things that aren’t my media collection (why would I care about a bunch of movies I can redownload at any time?) I use restic to Wasabi. I also have a secondary backup using the backblaze docker container which keeps prices very cheap.
- Comment on Advice on swapping from Synology to a ugreen 2 weeks ago:
Most people with media collections use unraid or truenas, not an off the shelf nas. You can build an unraid server with almost anything. My unraid server has 27TB and that’s quite small in the community from what I have heard.

- Comment on What differentiates Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and PieFed? 2 weeks ago:
So you set up a nice strawman with assembly and fortran there (which would never be used for a web server) instead of suggesting a realistic option like C# or the JVM, both of which have much larger communities of people that actually know what they’re doing.
You’d get just as many contributions in Java or Kotlin and the quality would be higher as well.
The decisions at the start of the project have the most influence on the project, more so than anything ever will later down the line.
- Comment on What differentiates Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and PieFed? 2 weeks ago:
Piefed is also written in python. No clue why you would do that when you know that you’re going to be dealing with a massive amount of network traffic, more so than most server infra. Lemmy already struggles with certain amount of traffic and that’s written in rust.
Takes a special kind of person to write federated software and they all seemingly make really really strange decisions when doing so.
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 2 weeks ago:
My wife and I complain about shows constantly (I’m talking about the shows and movies we like!), pausing to point out every little thing, and I’m in absolutely no way a movie critic, in fact I hate most shows that critics like. If I was to watch a show where I hated every character I would be pausing every five seconds (this isn’t hyperbole, I’m being serious it would be every five seconds) to complain more and more. The show isn’t enjoyable when there’s literally zero reason to like anyone in it.
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 2 weeks ago:
I never make it to that point, because if there’s only one redeemable quality of each character there’s literally no reason to watch the show at all. I want entertainment, not to be reminded of how shit people are.
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know what your sentence means.
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 2 weeks ago:
Same, why do people like watching shows where you hate everyone? There’s no one to sympathize with!
- Comment on Breaking: BAD 2 weeks ago:
I hate watching shows where you’re supposed to hate everyone. BB is one of those shows. Like how is that entertainment?
- Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged? 3 weeks ago:
Stop trying to argue to convince them. Ask them “Why?”
Why would the moon landing be faked? What’s to gain from it? (Correct answer, nothing, and everything to be lost when someone leaks).
There’s answers to all of their questions, but I guarantee they can’t give an answer to Why?
- Comment on Major airline bans ‘barebeaters’ across all 24 daily flights from UK airports 3 weeks ago:
He regularly listens to podcasts on public transport without headphones, for this reason, but also because he thinks ‘headphones can be quite insular’ and ‘isolating’, preventing you from striking up random conversations with fellow passengers about what you’re listening to.
Nobody wants to start a conversation with you because they already know you’re inconsiderate.
‘I think people expect a certain level of noise on public transport,’ he continues.
They do not expect to listen to your shitty podcast or YouTube video, and if they did they would be inconsiderate too.
‘If people ever raise any concerns or issues, then I would respond respectfully and politely,’ he adds.
X to doubt.

In Colorado those changes can happen same day within a few hours. No need for multiple days. It will be 14f in the morning, snowing, then by lunch it’s all melted and 60-70 then by dinner it’s incredibly windy and raining.

Why the hell was epstein on quora though? Like, isn’t that suspicious in itself? Billionaires don’t need to create q&a accounts. They have assistants that just find the answers for them.

Yeah I do not understand. It’s not cheap and it’s gross.
