- Comment on 1 month ago:
Realistically speaking, the most lightweight browser capable of using modern websites and not just being reskinned Firefox or some Chromium-based browser is Luakit.
It uses Webkit for rendering and Lua for configuration – but be aware, the configuration is absurdly overcomplicated and complex and extremely poor documented.
- Comment on What is the deal with IPv6? 1 month ago:
Why is this?
Most corporations have the inertia of a rock when it comes to changes. There is no real reason behind it. Implementing IPv6 is a no-brainer. Same with NATing legacy systems so they can continue using IPv4.
Instead of manually juggling IP addresses, properly set up environments use hostnames and handle DNS automatically.
It’s basically “we/I don’t see any short-term benefit from it, it causes some setup work, and it is not important because everything still works”.

- Comment on My friend Charlie is back.... 3 months ago:
You need to get up quick because it will be harder the longer it lasts. Once standing firmly on the ground, lean slightly forwards to shift most of the weight to the front of the foot. It never failed to help me.

Stand up as fast as possible and put your weight on that leg.

- Comment on Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it? 5 months ago:
If someone has the “ultimate solution” to something, they wouldn’t give it away in the Internet for “just $29.99”.

- Comment on How to get a new line in a post, but not two? 11 months ago:
It’s markdown syntax. Single newlines are ignored so the text can be styled to be 80 characters wide for example but still have it rendered with another line length while two newlines result in a new paragraph. It’s not about “space efficiency”.
To get a visible linebreak without creating a paragraph, add two spaces at the end of the line you want to break.
hello↵ ↵ this is the first line␣␣↵ this is the second line↵ ↵ more text here↵ ↵
… results in this:
hello
this is the first line
this is the second linemore text here

Digital for things you consume. Physical for things you love.

It’s daily 5 minutes, but it sums up to an hour every 3 weeks (assuming a 5 days work week).
- Comment on Movie sales – including 4K Blu-ray – fell again last year, but if you're going streaming only, you're massively missing out 1 year ago:
You can also watch them whenever you want and how often you want and also WHERE you want and don’t need to rely on the goodwill of some streaming provider.

So you say, psychopath billionaire is lying?
- Comment on Is it wrong to like AI Art work? 1 year ago:
Except it is, because the prompt doesn’t write itself. The art is writing the “perfect prompt” for getting the desired result.
- Comment on Is it wrong to like AI Art work? 1 year ago:
Disliking AI art work just because someone used AI is like disliking paintings because someone used a paintbrush.
AI is merely a tool.
- Comment on Why did people in the 90s/early 00s say that the internet "couldn't be taken down"? 1 year ago:
Because back then the Internet wasn’t controlled by just a few big corporations.
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 1 year ago:
I honestly give a steaming pile of bullcrap about stupid random internet points.
Why does it matter?
I want my data with me (i.e. available in the accoutn I mainly use) and not on some other account I don’t use anymore.
