If you want to see one of its unique character features search for videos using the term "lemming confronts"
- Comment on The Truth about Hydrogen [as Fuel/Energy Storage] 2 years ago:
You have a good point though, the "body" field should just be removed in this case, it adds nothing. Its a shame because it makes the vid page look spammy and its not.
- Comment on US household air conditioning use could exceed electric capacity in next decade due to climate change 2 years ago:
I wonder if this affects the number of solar installations at private homes.

- Comment on 6 Reasons Meta Is in Trouble 2 years ago:
The amount of celebration this causes around the world will be quite the ego-dent me thinks
- Comment on Can I hide a community? 2 years ago:
Ok. Yes the user base is not as big as the mainstream ones yet, so there's quite noticeable surges in activity depending on timezones.
Just another thought I had - when you look for communities to subscribe to are you using all or just feddit.de (https://feddit.de/communities/listing_type/All/page/1)
- Comment on Can I hide a community? 2 years ago:
I don't think so. what you can do is subscribe to the things you want to see and then the main page instead of showing 'All' you can show 'subscribed'
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg's 'metaverse' business lost more than $10 billion last year, and the losses keep growing 2 years ago:
It has incredible potential.
Agree, but potential doesn't mean positive - No company that can't do respectful traditional website/ecosystem is going to do better in a metaverse.

So expect more ornithopter spy drones...
- Comment on 5 Great Vim Plugins 2 years ago:
Cool, I'm going to try some of these. I'm no power user or programmer but I do find vimdiff my main way of checking checksums of files I download
- Comment on Can you explain something. 2 years ago:
Here's good run-down
- Comment on LINUX is still HARD to install? 2 years ago:
FYI When you reply to people on Lemmy they get your message in the replies section. You don't need to @ people specifically.
- Comment on Army to immediately start discharging vaccine refusers 2 years ago:
Good point, they might not end up using their new-found spare time...constructively though
- Comment on Can I delete a post? 2 years ago:
I removed it. for reference you should see a three dot menu which gives you the option to delete your post normally.
- Comment on What's the best thing about Lemmy? 2 years ago:
No adverts, they make me feel really annoyed for some reason (I'm normally quite calm/unreactive)
- Comment on Man Sues Mercedes After Soft-Close Doors Chop Off His Thumb 2 years ago:
Hopefully he was able to get it reattached. The thought of this taking a kids whole hand scares me.
- Comment on Regents Road, Manchester UK - fokawolf 2 years ago:
That font colour is a bad choice for the background.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 years ago:
If you are you owe me heaps of backdated birthday presents :)
- Comment on Do you want to nominate someone for mod? 2 years ago:
Good digging! I wonder if its a good to remove or tag dead accounts like @Joe(archived)@lemmy.ml because you don't really want users sending messages off to dead accounts and waiting for a reply that never comes.
- Comment on Do you want to nominate someone for mod? 2 years ago:
Well if not being "left enough" is an flaw I'd retract my nomination.
I would hope my own politics is fairly insignificant (as long as its not RW) and more important is cleaning up spam, keeping threads on topic, and facilitating positive, healthy community.
- Comment on Do you want to nominate someone for mod? 2 years ago:
I nominate me, why?
- I've reported dozens of troll posts.
- I'm online multiple times per day.
- No agenda or power-trip attitude.
- Promote discussion, playful humour, helping answer questions or direct to sources of info.
- Not hugely political but center-left values.
- Comment on 2FA app with 10,000 Google Play downloads loaded well-known banking trojan 2 years ago:
Sneaky- "The app would also disable the Android lock screen, download third-party apps with the pretense they were “updates,” and overlay other mobile app interfaces to confuse users."
- Comment on If you didn't know - Subsidiaries of BBK Electronics 2 years ago:
There was a github tracking these parent companies/subsidiaries but i cant remember the name.
- Comment on Is it possible to change ones username on Lemmy? 2 years ago:
There's a "display name" field on the account settings (for the Lemmy app called Lemur).
If you cant part with a rich and vibrant history on your account but are desperate about changing username I'd suggest contacting an admin for manual change if you would be willing to make a nice donation to the instance
- Comment on Does librewolf disables websites ability to disable your copy and paste function 2 years ago:
I absolutely love generating a long password with keepassXC and watching the autotype enter it into a paste-blocked website. It makes me feel like such a rebel.
- Comment on Feature request - Go to top 2 years ago:
Yes this is how I do it. Plus it would be really annoying if the home gets accidentally, I already seem to do it with back (swipe gesture)
- Comment on Why this app is so political? 2 years ago:
The blocklist only removed some slurs that were racist or nasty AF.
Anyone who feels their ability to express themselves is restricted by not having those phrases available should just fuck right off outta here.
- Comment on OpenSubtitles Hacked, 7 Million Subscribers' Details Leaked Online 2 years ago:
This just looks like a series of statements about hackers (true and accurate to my knowledge, but not related to what I said) Was this supposed to be a reply or a separate comment?
- Comment on OpenSubtitles Hacked, 7 Million Subscribers' Details Leaked Online 2 years ago:
A good (non piracy) case for using VPN - users IP addresses were leaked. Although why the heck they were logging them for a subtitles website is maybe a good question for the owners.
- Comment on Men who wear briefs why? And what do your girlfriends say about it? 2 years ago:
"...and if you are straight..."
LOL relax, wear what makes you and your junk feel good, thats what any decent girl would want you to wear. And if your mates say "only gays wear briefs" they seriously don't know shit or are 13 years old.
