- Comment on Chinese people flood TikTok with videos urging Americans to buy direct amid Trump tariffs 22 hours ago:
Only thing I care about is the quality.
I could not possibly care less about a brand name other than (in some situations) it being an indicator of quality. Which also tends to drop over time.
I’d absolutely buy direct from China. Wouldn’t be the first time for me. The only question is whether these are quality products or not.
- Comment on America is fucked 6 days ago:
There is no curb on many of these streets to go onto, there are bollards to protect pedestrians preventing that.
Its a design problem combined with a congestion problem, that was the reason for the congestion relief toll.

Ohh, thats a nice find.
I have a work iPad, going to try it out.

Oh its 100% possible, I have no idea.
- Comment on history rhymes, or something 4 weeks ago:
I had to look it up (dont know much about it), but in the Wikipedia entry it notes:
Time named the Hungarian Freedom Fighter its Man of the Year
And
In 2006, Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány referred to this famous Time cover as “the faces of free Hungary” in a speech marking the 50th anniversary of the uprising.
Which makes me think they were later vindicated. But maybe I’m missing something.

Thats pretty quickI have a few accounts, and only received this particular spam twice in a few years of Lemmy.

Nah, not only analog.
SDI - with 24G SDI being the latest standard, able carry up to 24gbps - is alive and well.
- Comment on Report: Unity continues mass layoffs with 'abrupt' communications and 5am emails 2 months ago:
The exact reason I have to deal with unity for a specific project.
And now its already built, so stuck with it for a while.
- Comment on Dealership service 2 months ago:
You can check lemon laws in your state.
In mine, it was out of service long enough in December that it would qualify (assuming you bought new based on what you’ve said).

- Comment on Babyllionaire Musk got r/whitepoepletwitter banned 2 months ago:
Making it spez, not musk.
Musk isn’t applying any legal recourse here. This was a reddit decision.
- Comment on Babyllionaire Musk got r/whitepoepletwitter banned 2 months ago:
Moderation is the law, not banning a sub. The continued banwave today I think speaks to that rather clearly.
- Comment on Babyllionaire Musk got r/whitepoepletwitter banned 2 months ago:
Sure, but why whitepeopletwitter of all places? If they’re trying to disrupt dissent surely there are more effective places to put their energy
Not that I think this is what happened, but I think the answer is actually really straightforward - how quickly will reddit bend the knee? Let’s find out.
Thats all it would take is a random thought to get there.
Again, not what I think happened. Enough people elsewhere saying the same things that its bound to get commented in a reddit thread as well.
I do, however, think Musk pushed for the entire sub to get banned, or spez did it proactively as a show of support (with a hope to bury his nose in Musk crack).
- Comment on Babyllionaire Musk got r/whitepoepletwitter banned 2 months ago:
Bullshit.
I saw the screenshots. The upvotes didn’t even break 2 digits. At most, the comments would get removed and the users banned. Saying it makes sense for the entire sub to be taken down for the dozen or so idiots is, undeniably, bullshit.
The same types of comments have been made on lemmy. The instances did not get taken down or any legal action. Suggesting otherwise is nonsense.
- Comment on Sad 2 months ago:
I’d prefer to hope for actual justice.
- Comment on Sad 2 months ago:
Cancer isn’t justice. Its not a matter of “won’t someone think of”, its just a pointless, useless wish that would accomplish nothing.
So I’m not interested in the “that makes you a centrist!” crap.
- Comment on Sad 2 months ago:
Cancer is not justice or a solution to fascism.
- Comment on Sad 2 months ago:
Generically speaking, the left does not hope for people to get cancer and suffer.
- Comment on At the airport. The TSA thought my daughter's Hello Kitty carry-on was suspicious. [More in body.] 2 months ago:
Have a safe flight.
I hope at least some stress disappears when you land.
- Comment on Did anyone here ever actually play the Mousetrap board game or use the cards in Operation? 3 months ago:
Just got my daughter operation for Christmas, played with the cards the very first time out.
So we haven’t met, but ive definitely used the cards. Mousetrap I played with a lot, but I think only played by the full rules like maybe 10 times max.
- Comment on 2025 trailer be wild 3 months ago:
It doesnt make a difference for the definition of a mass shooting (really any of them, there are multiple definitions).
- Comment on 2025 trailer be wild 3 months ago:
The majority accepted is 4 or more injured or killed, not including the shooter (gun violence archive).
The DOJ version is 4 or more killed, which is just the mass murder definition with a shooter, leaving out a lot of incidents.
In either case though, the motive is irrelevant because its not going to be known at the time.
- Comment on 2025 trailer be wild 3 months ago:
It doesnt matter the reason, its still a mass shooting.
- Comment on 2025 trailer be wild 3 months ago:
10 shot outside of a club in queens, ages 16-20
- Comment on Anon trying understanding women 3 months ago:
Also true.
Either way its safe to assume not interested then, not interested now.
- Comment on Anon trying understanding women 3 months ago:
Or, like so many, he’s interpreting it as teasing when its not.
My wife still browses reddit. A recent BORU was a young guy who was convinced his brother’s gf wanted to bang him. Everyone told him it was in his head, he went for it anyway…
Now his brother and gf left the family home to get a hotel, and this dumb ass - who only now saw how wrong he was - is left explaining why to the family.
Could be made up, of course. But its incredibly plausible. Lots of guys are dumb AF and either can’t pick up on any signals, or interpret everything as a signal.
So I’d personally lean towards the incredibly more likely scenario of her being friendly, and him misinterpreting it.

For thise curious the torrent is about 410gb, i’ve been seeding for about 6 months myself. Uploaded only a bit over a TB, so could use some more seeds for sure!

Yeah that’s my mistake, ive only seen it with work PCs that force edge, not any other client.
Including Firefox mobile, which is what I used (and they did) without issue.

Looks like an akamai CDN, my bad. Ive only seen that issue with work PCs where edge is forced.
