  It would be quite a flex to use these to clamp your car’s radiator hose, though.

  Eh, the only crimes here are:

  • Painting the rocks is a travesty and will be nearly impossible to ever undo.

  • It desperately needs some color.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨modern day LinkedIn be like⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, changing your name on the resume to be the same as the CEO’s last name might actually work.

  When it’s time to actually do the HR paperwork, tell them the CEO’s name is the name you go by, but your real name is your legal name. Act extremely offended if they question this.

  What will it take to get people to switch from Windows to Linux?

  Windows just keeps getting worse and worse. Give it time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one could have seen this coming⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and no robot will ever be able to solve that.

  Well, they theoretically could, but they never would, because the robots are owned by the company and the company wants to screw you over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one could have seen this coming⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It sucks for everyone now

  Honestly, this is better than having it suck for some, while most willfully ignore them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is 23⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the Boomers give the typical Boomer advice of “just walk in and give the manager a firm handshake” … because for them, in their time, that actually worked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Secret files show horse meat, mouse fur and metal shavings detected in Australian food⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Mouse fur and metal shavings are nearly impossible to get rid of, at least in occasional trace amounts. Mice are always attracted to food and will shed fur. Metal shavings are difficult to avoid in industrial production. The real question there is whether levels of them are higher than ‘normal’.

  Horse meat, though, is highly sus. Horses don’t just wander into food production facilities. Somebody put that in there on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We hate him no matter who he represents.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The claim that people would like him if he was not a republican is one of the stupider pieces of cope they’ve come up with.

  From their perspective, it makes sense. They hate Democrats because they’re Democrats. And if one of them switches sides to become a Republican, they’ll suddenly find excuses for them, forgive everything they’ve ever done, and support them no matter what.

  They’re so baked in tribalism that they can’t understand disliking a politician for any other reason. So they think of course things would be reversed if he was part of the other tribe. They, of course, would instantly hate him if he became a Democrat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Civic duty⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, you keep all that secret, manage to get on the jury anyway, then vote not guilty no matter what.

  Unless it’s a civil case. Then you just automatically rule in favor of whichever party has less money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I make the most out of a mediocre laptop?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah … Linux would be your friend here.

  My laptop is a shitty old chromebook from 2016 that was low-spec even at that time. 2-core CPU, 4GB total RAM, 14GB total storage(!). But I’ve got a chromebook-specific Linux distro on it, and it works great even in 2026, does everything I need it to, and never even feels slow or laggy. (Also has astounding battery life as well, oddly enough. ~17 hours, with the original 2016 battery.)

  I don’t know what ‘resource-intensive tasks’ you need to do, but if you want to free up hardware on an old, low-spec machine, Linux is your best and only friend.

  Anyone different than yourself, duh. Conservatism isn’t difficult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should've just picked a better password⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Password policy is mostly bullshit anyway since most “hackers” these days are just performing social engineering on morons with no sense in order to get in.

  Ah, now I get it. That’s why they enforce password policies that make the password impossible to remember – you can’t give a hacker your password if you don’t know your password! Genius!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should've just picked a better password⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  and despise even more when the password requirements/limits aren’t shown on the page

  When they drip-feed you just one requirement at a time, only telling you one requirement that your chosen password doesn’t meet, and then they’ll tell you one more requirement that your next password doesn’t meet…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me too! Or not? Whichever!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He can block things for himself, sure. But everybody can do that. You don’t need to develop a whole frontend for that, it’s a feature of Lemmy that you can block whoever you want.

  What he’s now missing out on is that he can no longer block things for other people, like he so desperately wants to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me too! Or not? Whichever!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t see myself saying ‘perchance’ and everyone not knowing it’s totally performative.

  You just said it.

  I really doubt that putting it in quotes will keep you off the ban list.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me too! Or not? Whichever!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  but I’m never going to make it to ban lists if I’m not a big enough dick.

  Bruh, all you have to do is say the word ‘perchance’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me too! Or not? Whichever!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He does have a point, in that he’s not obliged to accommodate users

  He might not be obligated to “accommodate” users, but I’d argue he is obligated to inform users.

  If he’d made the blocklist public and an acknowledged ‘feature’ of his frontend from the beginning, then sure. Everything would be fine. Some users might want to use it without the blocklist, but he’s not obliged to provide that for them.

  Making the blocklist secret, though, is deceptive, manipulative, and underhanded. And it goes against the entire ethos of both open source and the fediverse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me too! Or not? Whichever!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But I will say this: what a sad, empty life this poor man must lead to feel the need to curate a Fediverse blacklist.

  Just imagine how much his entire little world must be imploding right now.

  He really thought he’d figured it out. Found a way to control and censor Lemmy to his liking, without anybody ever being the wiser. But then one day, out of nowhere, he gets found out. Now he’s a laughing stock and pariah across all of Lemmy. And, worse, he keeps digging himself deeper, making alt accounts and trying to argue his case … and people keep seeing through the alt accounts and giving him even more shit for it. And to top it all off, he doesn’t have enough self-awareness to ever ask “am I the asshole here?” – he just keeps whining about how unfair this all is to him.

  And the best part is, he deserves every bit of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me too! Or not? Whichever!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This is Lemmy. Karma doesn’t exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Me, having beaten the game on the highest difficulty level, going back to play it on easy mode in the next playthrough: sometimes I just want to relax while I utterly massacre some bad guys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ghosted After a Job Interview? Report the Company⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  otherwise I’d just tell them “I’m working here now!”

  Can be a surprisingly effective tactic sometimes.

  Just show up for work, start working. Later, complain to HR that you don’t seem to have gotten your onboarding materials, and your first paycheck is late. With a little luck, the HR person will think you were omitted due to an error in the system and they’ll manually add you. And then, congrats – you’ve got a job!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facebook posts are peak⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Unrefined AI text is usually a horrible mess. They probably trained it rigorously on one particular font in order to get it to start producing legible and consistent text.

  Different fonts are cool, but when the AI was trained on different fonts, it has less of a set idea of what each specific letter is supposed to look like, and the letters start getting inconsistent.

  Good to know that after the grid has collapsed, we’ll still have unlimited gasoline for generators and kerosene for lamps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As long as I'm horizontal I'm set⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  These horses are living wild (feral) in a protected natural area with nice beaches to sunbathe on and no natural predators.

  Yes, for the most part, these horses are living exceptionally good horsey lives. Far more fortunate than most horses.

  (Though there definitely are some downsides. There’s nobody to take care of them if they get injured or sick, nobody to give them dewormer and rid them of parasites. On average, they’re probably not living quite as long as a well cared-for domestic horse. But maybe the freedom to roam and reproduce as they choose makes up for that, as the vast majority of domestic horses are not allowed to do either of those on their own volition.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As long as I'm horizontal I'm set⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s probably one stallion in this herd. And maybe he doesn’t have his cock out yet, but if you ask nicely and tease a little, that could change.
