Fun cat, sure, but tf is that Gucci-pentagram flooring.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 2 weeks ago:
Never liked that argument. It’s essentially “Why, don’t you like immigration, dummy? Don’t you know immigrants are easily exploited to do hard labour cheaply?”
I’m not saying it isn’t true, especially in the west, but in my eyes, there are much more moral arguments for immigration.
- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 3 weeks ago:
Work in Germany, both in some retail jobs as a student, as well as a dev, sometimes in rather ‘fancy’ office environments. No one ever cared, though I only ever cursed about a situation, never a person.

Sounds like a win win. Maybe I should work on getting more flexible.

Wasn’t euronews bought up by one of Orbans buddies?

My father was 75 when his finances had deteriorated to the point where he was no longer able to afford a personal secretary.
He had me explain the things he had to do, and he wrote them down on paper, step by step. He was pretty quickly able to do all the things he needed to do on his desktop.
Never got fast typing down, so I got him dictation software. Anyway, I’m pretty convinced as long as your determined, you can stay hip to new technology in a way that at least allows you to work with it.

Harry Potter and a Spock on the way back from London
I’d watch it.

It took them years to prepare that operation. It was against Hezbollah, not Hamas, because they saw them as the bigger threat.
The war in Gazah is barbaric, but the sensible immediate alternative would have been a very targeted operation to find and rescue the hostages, not something like this.

“Drinnen saßen stehend Leute, schweigend ins Gespräch vertieft”
There’s a whole bunch of such surrealist art, and while me being a rather lazy student for most things art history means I have no idea whether there’s a better name for it, or how connected the artists behind them are, I still tend to find them rather fascinating.

Had one of those land on my leg in Japan. Seemed chill. Guess I was lucky it didn’t sting.

900 days in my ass
Seems a bit long, but I’m not one to complain.

Hey, Will Wood, nice.
- Comment on What are your thoughts on Warframe? 2 months ago:
I play it about once a year to check for new story content. It’s fun. Grind is annoying, but if you don’t want a crazy build, you can mostly ignore it.
- Comment on ‘Hold them captive’: Australian billionaire boss aims to end staff going out for coffee 2 months ago:
Pretty much any office I’ve been in had free coffee. Good free coffee, now that’s few and far between.
- Comment on ‘Hold them captive’: Australian billionaire boss aims to end staff going out for coffee 2 months ago:
In any office job I’ve worked, I would have been able to accomplish jack shit for the second half of the day without a break with some food and good coffee.
Also, breaks in which you can do whatever you want are enforced by law around here, and I’d be surprised if it isn’t the same in Australia.
That man is both a dick, and a fool.
- Comment on Anon comes out to his religious parents 2 months ago:
“Real” conversion therapy likely would have been damaging and more expensive. Also, that cash may have given anon some leverage to do things without his parents knowing, also a good thing in the situation described.
A bit of a scam, sure, but it’s not like “real” conversion therapy isn’t, while also inflicting trauma on the recipients.
- Comment on What if? 3 months ago:
YT App patched with revanced still works for me, and the app uses less battery for me than the browser version. Privacy wise, the browser is presumably better, though.
My home page looks the same either way, though.
- Comment on Anon sets the mood 3 months ago:
Torrents tend to be more reliable quality; around here, they’re both equal in legality/illegality, and you don’t have to think about your Internet connection.
The actual trick is having done it beforehand, not on the couch right beforehand.
- Comment on I'm sorry, little one 3 months ago:
Would you link one? Because the only things I know of are the small coral accelerators that aren’t really comparable, and specialised data centre stuff you need to request quotes for to even get a price, from companies that probably aren’t much interested in seeing one direct to customer.

Your instance is the address behind the @. So yours is lemmy.world, his is, fittingly, yiffit.net.
- Comment on Forza Horizon 4 will be delisted from sale this December, but thankfully remain playable 4 months ago:
For games like this it’s almost always licenses for cars or music. They probably weigh the cost off renewal vs likely future sales.
- Comment on Terraforming 4 months ago:
I am very much pro space exploration, but the current plans many companies present for Mars colonies just seem like they would add very little value, while bringing tremendous danger and strife for the inhabitants, should anything ever be built.
I think we need to separate legitimate interest in space and related technology from bullshit marketing with scifi flavour.
- Comment on A fresh install of Signal takes up 410MB, blowing both Firefox and Chromium out of the water 5 months ago:
I have never worked on a properly hardened desktop app, so I don’t have much of a perspective on that, and can definitely see that it might not be worthwhile for the signal team.
I would appreciate some level of encryption, thinking that it might help with less targeted attacks. I’d also appreciate a Web client, like Threema’s with none permanent sessions. But all that’s, as you’d say in German, “Meckern auf hohem Niveau”, especially since I’m not currently contributing to Signal.
- Comment on A fresh install of Signal takes up 410MB, blowing both Firefox and Chromium out of the water 5 months ago:
Yes and no. I personally would like to be asked permission for such behaviour, but a gallery application, for example, could have legitimate reasons to index all photos on your system. I personally prefer to manually set the folders it is supposed to index, but that doesn’t seem to be a generally accepted paradigm.
In general, I see why you need to trust that a system your app runs on is uncompromised to a a certain degree, but measures to potentially limit harm in case it is still seem sensible, especially for an app with a focus on privacy and security.
- Comment on A fresh install of Signal takes up 410MB, blowing both Firefox and Chromium out of the water 5 months ago:
Yes, full disk encryption helps against intruders with device access, but not against the files being indexed by other application. My phone is encrypted, but I still use a signal client that is encrypted again.
- Comment on A fresh install of Signal takes up 410MB, blowing both Firefox and Chromium out of the water 5 months ago:
For the most part, I don’t care about App Size. Storage is cheap. What I miss with the Signal Desktop App is the option to save everything in an encrypted container.

Conversely, you can now have your manifesto written by a locally run LLM.

I feel like Lucky usually has the connotation that you wanted the outcome.
Also, they might have helped their chances by being very competent, but having very low people skills. I feel like that would improve the probability of something like this.
