• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products — as Google's AI growth begins to outpace Copilot products⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair it’s the band-aid of AI. The people that do want to use AI are using chatgpt. It works about as well as an LLM will right now and it basically sucks you off while it does it, so people like using it.

  Copilot is chatGPT thrown into Microsoft apps and Gemini sucks, forcefully replaced the assistant app, and automatically comes up on Google searches with nonsense seemingly half the time.

  (When I do use an LLM i use deepseek, but I recognize that I’m probably the minority in that)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No it won’t⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  what the fuck is an EDC tactical wallet?

  EDC being everyday carry, tactical at this point has lost any real meaning - pants with a few extra pockets, this wallet, any knife you might take outside of a kitchen, a water bottle holder that you can attach to something, anything that they put those little loops that are normally on military backpacks (actually there’s another example, all those “EDC” backpacks that are 150 bucks).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make me feel like a man⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They do make jackets like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a clear difference between someone who’s drunk screwing up the alphabet, slurring, can’t keep their eyes open, getting distracted, arguing with the cop, unbalanced, and someone just not really remembering the alphabet. If you’re taking a field sobriety test, they’re not really grading your knowledge of the alphabet, they’re looking for signs of intoxication. If after all the tests (walk and turn, balance on one leg, looking at the horizon) the cop is still suspicious, you might do a breathalyzer, or be arrested and brought in for a blood test.

  I know I’m not the only one familiar with water jets in bathtubs and hot tubs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do big people wear the tiniest shit especially at rallys or riots? Like on Jan 6 I saw a bunch of big stupid people have on bullet proof vest that was only maybe 6inch by 6inch or tinier?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ignoring the bulletproof vests for a moment, they usually have the clothes from before they got that big. It’s not like your habits suddenly change, they’re usually always slowly growing until something clicks and they go on a diet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is ethanol so tasty?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fascinating, I drink alcohol solely to get drunk. Absolutely hate the taste. There are levels to it of course, I prefer bourbon to scotch for example. But none of it, shy of the fruity (usually) drinks that cover up the alcohol flavors, do i actually enjoy drinking.

  Different strokes I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wearing a helmet and a hat while biking⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Would it look stupid to place the cap on the handlebars

  No.

  or clip the cap into the strap of the helmet to carry it while riding?

  Yeah kinda, I’m imagining it hanging from your face?

  If you have a snap back kind of hat, yeah just attach it anywhere on the bike I’d say, or depending what you’re wearing, to you in some way. Don’t over think it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truth is way more fucked up than fiction⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Including an unredacted version of emails that had been leaked (which prompted this release) with the victim redacted. But you know, the reason they didn’t release anything else before was to protect the victims… until it’s better for Trump if they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Half life alyx was a solid game and I would expect valve to release another VR game for this things release. Even if not, there’s good stuff out nowadays.

  Although I don’t get the motion sickness that people have mentioned so maybe I have more options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The VR looks interesting. I had bought the HP reverb G2, but Microsoft pulled the plug on windows mixed reality, and I’ve since moved to Linux, so this might be a good replacement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I tell my Korean male childhood friend that he looks like a really cute anime girl and that I'd die for him and that I want to cuddle with him and treat him like a princess (no homo)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like you got it figured out bud. Tell them not us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guess what you cannot turn off for some stupid reason!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because this setting is in the emoji section of the keyboard. That AI stickers option is for stickers you’ve already made (including from your own pictures), or you can prompt for an AI generated one if you have drawing assist turned on. If you tap ai stickers there in that screenshot it brings you to the option to turn that off (but doesn’t get rid of the button in the emoji section of the keyboard).

  If you want to get rid of that entire section, you can remove the button to get to the emojis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  In the context of someone really asking, and not just joking around, yes you should be honest. Sounds like you’ll be on the path to showing them so don’t lie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it’s everywhere. I still come to these things out of habit or because i don’t have energy for a regular hobby, but it’s getting draining. All of social media just brings me back to politics, even if funny memes are in between. I also have a habit of reading comments, and then some dingus brings the one non political thing back down to politics anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabletop convection oven ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  nasty little grease machines

  You mean the machine that is… an electric heater and a fan?

  are processed garbage

  Meat and cheese rolled into a tortilla? Just sounds to me like you’ve got some kind of grudge against these things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabletop convection oven ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Taquitos also take 8 minutes in my air fryer at 380°F.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Motion sensors in high-performance mice can be used as a microphone to spy on users, thanks to AI — Mic-E-Mouse technique harnesses mouse sensors, converts acoustic vibrations into speech⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can we stop finding ways to do this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you please help me pick a gaming desktop for my son that can run Monster Hunter Wilds?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am judging a book by it’s cover here, but they said they’re not tech savvy, and asked the question in the post, so my assumption is that they themselves do not own one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon buys a game for the switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If this follows that, we’ll just stop buying/selling all physical games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you please help me pick a gaming desktop for my son that can run Monster Hunter Wilds?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but a while back they capped your monthly hours for the paid tiers to 100 (i think you pay to keep streaming after). I was easily averaging 3 hours a day as a kid, especially with weekends and summer vacations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is exploited⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just don’t be like the guy at my job loading your dishwasher with your mic unmuted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What would you call someone with the beliefs that they’ve mentioned then? I agree, I don’t know of a current “conservative” political group/party that follows that idea anymore but what word better explains how they actually want things?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has a person ever pretended to be a major Republican did a podcast interviews and everythinng else? While raking in a butt load of money? The turn around and be like HA MF's I am a liberal?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sort of, but he was always blatantly parody.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fuck you in particular⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Something seems to be sending me to shopify when the page loads

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come butthole scratches doesn't get infected with poop bacteria ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The gist of it is thicker skin, stronger immune system presence down there, higher blood flow down there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come butthole scratches doesn't get infected with poop bacteria ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re probably just overall frustrated with the country. Somehow though “stupid politics” means go ahead and insult and generalize the people for random and inaccurate things like not using a bidet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to relax and most importantly stop thinking about the things i could be doing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why did you start working on these other projects? For fun? To learn? Are they still fulfilling that purpose if you’re burnt out? If not, what are you losing out on by not working on them? If it was for fun, then that’s over for now, go do something else for fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, I didn’t know about the bundle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bring out the trumpets and pour out the beer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  These idiots take their single w2 to the H&R table at Walmart and give them a third of their return. It doesn’t affect them.

  (I’m making up the third, I have no idea what they charge)
