  Trees take ages to grow, and their root systems damage buildings and pavements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose a number, 1-5!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're still on Lemmy...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing Twitter has over something like Bluesky is the fact that Bluesky is so milquetoast and nice that you don’t really get any of the drama you get on Twitter. Like, I never see comic fans going “Black Bolt would DESTROY Saitama in a fight!” and anime fans going “Nu uh! ONE PUNCH!” on Bluesky.

  Same with Lemmy tbh. Lemmy is 80% politics, 10% memes about politics, and 10% Linux.

  Isn’t Buddhism at least partially about a lack of desire. Buddha is enlightened, meaning he has no desires, therefore if you asked him what he wanted on his pizza, he’d be like “Eh, whatever’s fine”

  Sensitivity and fellowship, yet my (former) friend who is a big stoner has gone all-in on conspiracy theories and is championing the Reform party in the UK because Labour are apparently race traitors. Guess weed can’t do all the lifting.

  Yeah but Ælfwine got there by accident, and wasn’t escorted by elves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kawaiiiiiii⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s neither, it’s the Will of Eru Illuvatar that determines whether you can travel the Straight Road or not. Ælfwine travelled the Straight Road and landed at Tol Eressëa in 869AD after fleeing the Danes, and he was a Man, not an Elf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should we boycott games with loot boxes?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still waiting for a reliable way to pirate games with micro transactions and lootboxes.

  Like, I know Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has daily quests and a rotating cash shop, and that must be talking to some sort of server that isn’t guaranteed to be there. Surely there’s a way to mock that server?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why would you want to though? I can understand the retro market because there is software like games that either won’t run very well, or won’t run at all on modern hardware. I’m in the market for a ‘powerful’ machine circa 2003-2005 for that exact reason.

  When it comes to machines made in 2015? I’m not sure there’s a lot you can run on those machines that you couldn’t on modern hardware, apart from Windows 11.

  I guess you could use them for things like media servers, but it would have to be phenomenally cheap, as in cheaper than cheap modern hardware.

  Personally, my rule is a 10 year gap is old, a 20 year gap is retro.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Trade it in to who? Who’s buying PCs that can’t be used? I mean there’s the retro market, but AFAIK they aren’t buying anything after Windows XP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes on a first date⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean… Did they not say what their hobbies were before they met? How do you go on a date with someone without knowing anything about them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imperialism, authoritarianism and oppression is bad all around m'kay⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No no, you don’t understand. America bad, therefore anything against America is automatically good. It doesn’t matter who it is or what they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disposable vapes are easier to hide from parents since you can just throw them away, and also you don’t have to worry too much if your teacher confiscates them because they’re disposable.

  With a non-disposable vape, suddenly things become a lot harder for vaping teenagers.

  I’m not suggesting we let teenagers vape, I’m just saying there’s a reason teenagers like the disposable ones.
