  Yes? Ah sorry, misheard

  I mean, that doesn’t really mean much, given that you don’t have to be very intelligent to get one. It’s mostly an endurance exercise and often a test how much frustration and uncertainty you can take in your life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This actually isn’t necessarily censorship. This is more likely users deleting their comments when moving away from Reddit to… Surprise! Lemmy.

  Back during the big move people made a lot of scripts and apps to do that for them and my unpopular opinion is that its been not a good thing to do. Unless they archive their answers somewhere else it is lost knowledge. I know I am pretty alone with that view so please don’t start a discussion again, I won’t reply.

  Of course, but I unfortunately cannot tip you because my payment processor doesn’t allow to tip NSFW comments.

  Likely e.coli

  Careful, if you go there you might run into Zensursula.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dirt Man⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I am going through her catalogue. Whatever is available at our library. So far I liked them all. Least of all Lavinia, that started off quite weak but also got better, but out of all the strong books it was the one at the bottom so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dirt Man⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just read one of Urusla Le Guin’s books where humans sent off some unwanted people, no scientists, to another planet and they brought up how hundreds of years into living there, they still give arbitrary names to things. E.g. naming an animal Heron because it kind of resembles one, but this is an alien world, so it is really not.

  Anyways, at one point one of the characters asks why people still use the name Victoria for the planet, as this was named by Earth people. And then suggested to just call the planet Mud, since they got so much of it. Was half a joke but later in the book some people do use Mud as a name for it.

  Fuck yes, Descent 2 was even better, with your small helper robot and even more cool weapons/rockets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Android POS at work has 4 notifications but I can't clear them because their MDM locks the notification bar.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure on older Android versions but newer ones would show a small dot for the notification overflow.

  So, hilariously, if you never had connected them, you’d still retain the offline features, since they couldn’t push that update on you?

  Although I assume they push you hard to connect them at first use.

  “A Stanford professor”… Please make sure to attach names specifically for such bullshit views, it seems this is Jonathan Berk, you can only find the cowards name in what looks like footnotes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holee shiet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it is a meme, but I feel this is a little too belittling of climate change being responsible for increase in temperature. Like, I can see this unironically shared on Facebook and twitter with people being “hurrdurr, fake climate change, heat comes from sun!!!”.
