- Comment on Why doesn't Lemmy have a system like Reddit's Karma? 1 week ago:
But it doesn’t have an account total karma tracker (it did, but was removed).
I like it this way, you get approval on your comments/posts, but don’t have a public ‘worth’ value to increase - that can cause problems.
- Comment on So begins the great smart bulb saga! 1 week ago:
I have some alarm tones that are YOU MUST GET UP NOW, and some that are more of a suggestion. Works quite well.
- Comment on Over £1 billion to boost bus services across the country as bus fares capped at £3. 2 weeks ago:
You could argue that the story is that labour didn’t decide to continue the full discount (and have therefore put up the price) when they could have.
I would prefer more/better services over price, but a lot of others depends on the current price of the existing busses.
- Comment on How is the calories meter on exercise bikes accurate 5 weeks ago:
It be would be much better if they just showed the number of Wats you are working at, and the total joules of work done at the end of the session. This is probably configurable on most exercise bikes, but calories are much friendlier for the average user.
- Comment on My mental health has improved after deleting games that have microtransactions in them 5 weeks ago:
Wow still has a lot of achievement/reputation(grind) related cosmetics.
But yeh, it’s a shame that when you see a cool/unique looking mout etc that you now assume it’s paid by default.
- Comment on Why does the PC gaming industry still use such deceptive pricing? 1 month ago:
Yeh, I dislike them, but in situations like this, would probably look at using one.
I avoid the ones where you buy from a user. (Can’t remember which ones I have used, don’t use them often)
- Comment on Why does the PC gaming industry still use such deceptive pricing? 1 month ago:
Can you not get it from a key reseller? As long as your buying it above the minimum sale price it’s probably legit.

She was one of the people I mentally considered immortal. She has been ‘old’ my entire life.

I wouldn’t call B1M in depth…
- Comment on Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?" 1 month ago:
Is combining microwave rice and a frozen meal portion cooking then? Or to they have to be heated together?
- Comment on when someone is considered trespassing, are they 'legally trespassing ' or 'illegally trespassing' 1 month ago:
Scotland has “right to roam” legislation though, so there are a lot more places where you are not actually trespassing.
- Comment on Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise 3 months ago:
Not knowing about permanent effects still seems better than definite permanent effects 🤷♂️ would help learn about them too
- Comment on Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise 3 months ago:
My understanding is that puberty blockers just delay things, letting them work that out without making permanent changes in either direction?
- Comment on Apps that encourage/gamify walking? 5 months ago:
I guess this kinda counts: wandrer.earth
It gives you points for every unique mile you walk/run/cycle etc with the idea of getting you to go to new places and explore. You then get bonus points for doing 10/25/50% etc of an area.
Works off Strava data, so you would have to actually record the walking. But I found it was great at getting me to go to new places.
- Comment on Cities skylines 2 is broken 5 months ago:
Looking it up, it doesn’t sound like it. Looks to be planned for later this month.
My understanding is that they are making the economy harder and completely removing the government subsidies that small cities get that make them absurdly easy.
- Comment on Cities skylines 2 is broken 5 months ago:
Has the economy 2.0 patch launched?
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
It’s all about risk tolerance. It was thought that improved brakes on cars would hugely improve safety. However it had a much smaller affect as people just braked later… There is a level of acceptable risk that everyone has, increasing safety measures just means they take more risks up to that level.
Helmets make people feel safer so they do more risky things and therefore hurt themselves more in other ways.
Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wear one though!
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
My cycling club mandates helmets, so not a problem. Only really come up with the hire bikes in cities etc.
Nope, I was to busy being miserable about having a broken collar bone.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
Personally, I have cracked open a helmet once. On a quiet country lane, with no traffic. Pot holes can catch you any time.
That is what makes me tell people to wear helmets.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 5 months ago:
I really want to try though! Not dared to try on a road bike though…
