I was always curious about this! I’m bilingual and I always get mixed up because they’re actually called “purple onions” in Spanish. I always forget which language calls it which, but knowing this is definitely helpful!
- Comment on PLEASE 1 week ago:
For whatever reason I actually found this more difficult to read (not driving). Maybe it was the color choice?
- Comment on Typical monopoly people 2 weeks ago:
The UK accent is actually more “modern” than the US one because the US one is more aligned with the accent imported around the time of colonialism.
- Comment on big tobacco stopped paying 2 weeks ago:
I eat vegan chicken nuggets all the time and honestly they taste almost exactly the same. In fact I’d say any vegan version of highly processed meat (sausage, burgers, etc) tastes very similar.
Just recently Starbucks gave me a real sausage patty instead of Impossible and I didn’t even know whether it was “real” meat at first — I had to take another look at it and see that the shape and thickness were different (and the store admitted it was the wrong product when I returned).
- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 2 weeks ago:
Exactly! It just feels so wasteful. I imagine it’s to sell a higher capacity at greater cost for higher profit.
- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 2 weeks ago:
I can’t tell if you’re arguing in favor or against smaller capacity drives but personally I’d like to see smaller sizes on the market for devices that don’t need a freaking terabyte of storage. When I was shopping for a small mini PC I use as a router I couldn’t find anything smaller than 256 GB so I settled for booting Alpine Linux into RAM (“diskless”) from a USB drive.

What’s with the fucking AI slop everywhere today?
- Comment on Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve felt like I’m in a simulation quite often. It sounds very cliché and I never thought I’d actually feel it (the idea has always fascinated me but c’mon, really?) up until the last few years.

That means the fries were probably not handled with care while they were frozen.

Why is the image hosted at

I keep wondering why images aren’t loading and it’s because they’re hosted by Reddit? I blocked them ages ago but why are we using Reddit’s CDN for Lemmy posts’ images?
- Comment on The most invasive cookie/tracker option is listed as “Platinum” while the most privacy-respecting option is merely “Silver” 3 weeks ago:
Web developers (or rather those that pay them) will do literally anything but stop spying. Fucking trolls.
(Disclaimer: I’m a professional web developer myself but thankfully not in the realm of unethical spyware shit like this.)

Yeah seriously. Why even engage?

Do people really buy produce wrapped in so much plastic? Personally I go out of my way to avoid it.
- Comment on ✌️🌽✌️ ✊🌽✊ ✌️🌽✌️ ✊🌽✊ 5 weeks ago:
This drives me crazy living in the Los Angeles area too, but I’ve discovered it comes from Mexico. For example, Taquería “Los Hermanos” would be a taquería (taco shop) called The Brothers.
Honestly it doesn’t bother me so much in Spanish but it definitely looks totally wrong in English.
- Comment on So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up? 5 weeks ago:
Move to the other side of the continent.

If I remember correctly it’s third tone so writing it as Loong actually makes sense in my head.

As an American the only time I’ve ever seen it is when I’m on my Swiss VPN
- Comment on YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts 2 months ago:
I mean, blocking all of YouTube blocks all the shorts and it also blocks their disgusting tracking spyware littered across the web (not just Google properties).
- Comment on YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts 2 months ago:
It’s worth it.
- Comment on YouTube will help you quit watching Shorts 2 months ago:
I block all their domains using my DNS server and won’t ever be tracked by them again.
- Comment on The Internet's Biggest Annoyance:Why Cookie Laws Should Target Browsers, Not Websites 2 months ago:
But what about the small blogger, the local restaurant, or the indie developer? For them, it’s another technical and legal headache, forcing them to install clunky, site-slowing plugins just to avoid a potential lawsuit.
As a small time developer, just no. Why would I be installing spyware on my small websites and importing a ton of third-party shit instead of doing things the right way from the beginning? Imagine tracking people to the extreme that you’ve got to resort to fucking popups and having that kind of web property tied to your name.

The Reject All button is only there in jurisdictions that require it.

Well lucky for me they don’t use AWS so I’ve never had to find out. 🥰
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 2 months ago:
I haven’t used AWS in years. No IPv6 support in S3 in 2017 was the last straw for me. I have to deal with it at work (sometimes) and always laugh when they introduce “new” features like HTTPS records in Route53 like two years late.
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 2 months ago:
Yeah, when I can’t access my bank account the first thing I do is “touch grass.” 🥴
- Comment on Load bearing Tupperware 2 months ago:
Once per year? I had outages much more often than that on AWS.
