• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CAPTCHAs make me lowkey mad⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t this the whole reason why proof of work captchas are being developed?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What options of resistance are programmers creating to not submit to AI culture?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  AI for the win in figuring out how to use code libraries with minimal to non-existent documentation scattered accross the entire web.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your must-block tags on social media?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You had me from the very end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to Strike Out on your Own⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or maybe just focus your time on politics to make a country in which you are not allowed to fire people illy nilly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Embedded video in online articles is totally broken.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While “taking a picture” is a viable option for personal blogs and such, it does technically break the ToS for most social media sites and also might violate copyright, which is why reputable news sources are left with the, arguably shitty option, of using embedded posts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Lemmy output horribly invalid HTML?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This wsa considered in the earlier days of the web, but then intentionally not enforced. HTML was specifically designed to not fall into the same scheme as most programming languages in that it should try to render what it could even if there was a lot going wrong (unlike most programming languages that try to fail fast).

  (And before someone comes after me for comparing HTML to programming languages, I am well aware that it is not Turing complete.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such??⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not a particularly informed comment, but I always figured because people started getting scared of the Christian god, so they started turning towards other religions. As a consequence, the Christian church needed to figure out how to make Christianity a bit more approachable, so the new testament and forgiveness were created.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why can't a PC-laptop boot without datetime?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am fairly certain that I have had a PC before that had exactly the issue that the CMOS battery ran out. It was able to boot just fine, I just couldn’t get it to connect to the internet properly. Took me ages to figure out that the date and time in the OS were completely wrong, because I never really use my computer as a clock anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I stop sleeping through everything?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually, sometimes having too many alarms can actually lead to alarm blindness where the person does not really recognize the alarms as important and just subconssciousely turns them into background noise.

  That being said, I still think at least in the short term this is a good idea. In the longer term, do you make sure that you are really well rested? I.e. the 15 minutes of boredom trick? (Do absolutely nothing for 15 minutes. You should get really bored. If you can manage to stay awake even through 15 minutes of boredom, then you are well rested, if not you need more sleep)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mexico extends labor rights for app delivery and ride share workers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well this was an emotional ride. I thought it was great news, but your comment makes it seem more like a publicity stunt. ˙◠˙

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Touch grass… and make local friends. People you know in real life; know their families. Most people are not nearly as bad as the world makes it seem at the moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to mention the fact that an asteroid that large would also start exerting its own (noticeable) gravitaional field when it gets this close to earth. Although I guess you kind of already covered that with the tsunamis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To play devils advocate here: So you help tide the people over that are carelessly thrown away by the disfunctional US government. Just so they can go back to doing what the government wants once the government starts paying them again? I would say these people need to learn not to trust the government and find jobs elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Before modern-day authoritarian regimes, did people living under abosolute monarchies talk criticize the monarchs? Or did they just stay silent in fear of persecution?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they were referring to criticizing the US government, not PRC. In an effort to keep free speech around in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How could I order a package without my parents finding it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And here I was being confused why some person’s parents would get so angry at them for buying computer parts from their own money. I see I was not cultured enough to understand the true question at hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Independent tries to hijack their reader's swipe meant to leave the site to send them further into it instead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is almost like this is why we had originally decided to put navigation buttons at the very bottom of the screen where they are easily accessible both by left- and right-handed users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a good way to check if all photos on google photos are locally saved on my own phone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess we need to open a new community nostupidanswers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is also why there is a lot of work being done on room-temperature (-ish at least) supervonductors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the origin of the whole "X destroys and humilates Y" genre of debate videos?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unrelated, but how do you write big text into a comment on lemmy?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Agoda axes 50 Singapore staff; warns them not to report to govt agencies or lose their severance pay: sources⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do they actually have a different choice? Do these companies get prosecuted by the government or are they just tolerated?

  (Just adking out if interest. I really have no idea about political situations in Singapore.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do drug cartels let the US and other countries "catch" their shipments? Like the US caught 1 billion of drugs over here while we ship 6 billion worth of drugs over there?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel obligied to make the stupid comment that of course drug cartels ship drugs into the US. In fact it is done completely legally, by US pharmaceutical corporations. Isn’t this why we had the whole opioid crisis?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what's your take on employers banning the use of languages other than English between coworkers at the workplace?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let people communicate however works well for them. Especially, if it increases speed/productivity. And even if not, it will raise workplace morale, which in turn will most likely increase production again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't Food Network do product placement in there shows? Would they not earn more money by a host saying I use this hot sauce name drop but you can use whatever?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely true, and yet wonehow we also ended up with commercial breaks in movies on streaming platforms on top of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The better comparison would be to say that solar power panels are a complete design mistake because they get hot when in the sun thus hampering their function. Yes, it is not perfect, but it still works way better than nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the human body so incredibly bad at responding to colds?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And even then most of the ones that made it through/past the immune system are still eventually fought off again by the immune system. I.e. you don’t have to take an external antibiotic for every cold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Justice, ParkMobile is finally forced to pay up.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When did these stories start switching over from intentionally abusing peoples data to having data breaches? I feel like the worst ended up still getting worse somehow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how are you able to care more about your job itself than the people at your job?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I missing something or is OP just posting the same question again in the same community a few days later? How new…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3 Crises Facing the Labor Movement⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point I am surprised that Trump has not privatized atomic rockets yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't change my email account in Steam because it's mistaken for a temporary email⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember having tried to use a service before, and after trying my email address I got the error message that only hotmail, gmail, and icloud email addresses were allowed. Luckily I didn’t really need the service, so I noped out if there real quick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Illinois, Michigan see union membership gains after state policy changes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What a surprise. Don’t threaten to fire and arrest people for trying ro unionize and make better working conditions for everybody and surprisingly they will try to make the world a better place.
