No, I’m not talking about caching lol.
Where did I say a cellular connection was magic? 🤡
I still can’t believe you thought Android was hard coded to reserve 3GB of ram for emojis. Wow, making stupid shit up is easy and fun, I see why you do it!
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 week ago:
I said that your software promotes pile-ons, just like you were doing with that comment - but that you were personally piling on by yourself.
I’m not having a bad time, I’m just pointing out that your software has giant problems that you purposely encourage. You proved my point by doing it in this very comment section.
I hope one day you can interact with people outside of an echo chamber.

And there you go proving my point :)

They’re using it for who knows how many dozens of things - simply a look at task manager on windows. They’re preloading heavens knows what to make the users experience better.
You’re talking about closed source operating systems and how they shouldn’t be using the ram that is available to them, and you think that I don’t have the faintest idea? 🤣
RAM is there to be used. You’re never using too much ram until you need to use more ram than you have. I’d have no issue with my windows using 60GB of RAM while “idling” if it makes the experience better, which it could.

It’s not really lacking anything important though.
Piefed’s features are why its community is how it is - an echo chamber that encourages dogpiling, unfair blocks, and bans.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 week ago:
Those are in no way the same thing. Lemmy having community descriptions that individual mods and admins can lie in is not the same as Piefed having automated “hey everyone, block and ban these users preemptively!” messages or banning everything that’s not on one side of politics.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 week ago:
The software is open and has zero political or ideological leaning is what that person and I mean.
Yours, on the other hand, is not. I’m sure I’m tagged by default on Piefed already as “low quality” or something of the sort, purely because people downvote me because I’m not in the echo chamber of allowed opinions. Over the last few days I’ve had like 300 downvotes to about 15 upvotes just on about 3 comments in the one topic, where my comments are 100% factually, undeniably, demonstrably, correct - but people don’t like it because they think it’s “pro Apple”, and the echo chamber says they have to hate Apple.
That would make Piefed put a giant target on my head, wouldn’t it? Basically telling everyone “block this guy and ban him from your communities”. Lemmy doesn’t do that.
You also have a curated-by-you list of banned sources, which includes basically everything anyone left of centre would call “right wing”. Lemmy doesn’t.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 week ago:
Yet even with lemmys people being like that, their software is free from bias and authoritarian-style features that are made to stifle free speech and to encourage an ideological echo chamber, unlike Piefed.
- Comment on Lemmy or Piefed? 1 week ago:
Piefed is ideologically driven by the creator, and encourages pre-emptive banning and blocking users who don’t just participate in echo chamber behaviour.
Lemmys devs might be ideologically captured too, but their software isn’t, so it’s the better option.

How are you checking what closed source systems are doing?
- Comment on Sony's PlayStation Profits Rose 37% – Powered by Tariff Refunds, Not Game Sales 2 weeks ago:
PS5 lifetime shipments reached approximately 95.3 million units on a sell-in basis — meaning shipped to retailers, not necessarily activated in consumers’ living rooms. That’s genuinely impressive territory, approaching Nintendo Switch numbers.
If by approaching Nintendo switch numbers you mean 60 million units behind the switch lol
- Comment on I hate Android! 2 weeks ago:
You have no idea what Android or iOS or Windows or any other operating system is doing in the background though, you just think it’s “bloat” and “inefficient”. I guarantee you that the people making these OS’s know more about it than you, and are making it as efficient as it can be.
- Comment on Netflix is garbage 2 weeks ago:
They aren’t stopping reporting subscriber numbers, what are you talking about? They’re dropping from reporting it twice a year to just once a year. Annual growth is really all that matters after all. What matters far more is revenue, product, and cash flow - all of which are still reported regularly.
Stock prices falling after earnings calls is basically the norm because no matter how well they go, even beating expectations, some people wanted more - and you can’t ignore the market manipulation by big players who try to manufacture drops so they can increase their position. Spook people to sell and drop the price so they can buy more at a reduced price.
Netflix need or exceeded their targets as they have basically every single time for years. Their revenue grew double digits, their margins are getting healthier, and their viewing hours increased.

It’s also easier to control scraping by requiring an account.
- Comment on Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue. 2 weeks ago:
The human spirit makes no difference when it comes to jailbreaking hardware.

Likely won’t happen. Consoles these days are getting almost impossible to jailbreak.
- Comment on The gaming industry is truly messed up… 2 weeks ago:
Nah, that’s an instant full account ban on Xbox/playstation/EA.
The product is as described on the box, it’s just not what we were made to believe it would be otherwise, so a chargeback is not the right way anyway. Not buying the next game by that company until after release and a bit more time is the way to go about it. I know I won’t buy another battlefield for a few months after release.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Ah interesting, I guess that’s where the confusion is coming from - here in Australia cinemas pretty much all have you buy tickets at the food and beverages counter.

- Comment on The gaming industry is truly messed up… 2 weeks ago:
I disagree, I loved BF3, and BF4 (not at the cluster fuck broken launch, but 12 months after release), but that doesn’t really matter.
I didn’t buy any after that because yeah I agree they were garbage, but I bought 6 because after putting in tonnes of hours in the beta and being massively impressed at how it appeared to be a return to 3’s style like they specifically said, I didn’t think it would all be a lie and that the full release was basically just the crappy games again but with new problems.
On EA as company, I don’t really care either way. If they release a game I want to play I’ll buy it. I won’t really care if the company are “evil” or anything.

You’ve got cell reception in your pc/server?
No, it can be in use, not cached. Keep actual apps open and running in the background if you want them to. Do more in the background.
Stuff could be more efficient, but you’re talking like you know how much ram operating systems of all different types need/should be using better than the people making them. You don’t.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Oh god, you think a UI where some movies have no poster but just big plain white text on a black background while others have beautiful posters showing off the actors/story/etc would be good?
🤮
Like I’ve said before - I’d you struggle with reading these titles, go to an optometrist and use more appropriate resolutions for your eyesight. Those are options for people like you.
Also if you have problems reading ”dune”, take it up with the people who made Dune. Netflix etc have to use official art and logos.
- Comment on What effect did COVID have on the minds of the ultra-wealthy? 2 weeks ago:
It did nothing of the sort for the universal income thing. In every country where they started printing money to hand out, inflation skyrocketed and everyone is still feeling those effects today, and likely will forever. Debt for those countries absolutely exploded.
I want a true universal income trial, long term, where all of the necessary tax changes are made as well. Covid didn’t do that. If anything Covid made people think a universal income will never work.
- Comment on The gaming industry is truly messed up… 2 weeks ago:
Financially BF6 was a smash hit.
Within a month of release it was a disaster. Player base plummeted because of the bait and switch they pulled, the bugs, and the lacklustre season passes, skins, and roadmap. One of the all time fumbles.
- Comment on I hate Android! 2 weeks ago:
Does your pc have a mobile connection? Does your phone have all the services a phone does? No, so it’s not a fair comparison.
RAM being “in use” doesn’t mean that it requires it at that exact time. Unused RAM is wasted ram. Phones pre-load commonly used apps into ram without “opening” them. Your home server doesn’t.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
You can walk into the movies and get to buying a ticket without ever having access to see what movies are showing?
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
I took a screenshot of the first screen. Weren’t you have a whinge saying that they’re all using the same boring plain white font, and now you’re whining when some use different fonts that you claim are harder to read? Which is it - do you want boring and easy to read, or fancy design that sacrifices UX?
With ones like the lord of the rings, you can clearly see that it is a lord of the rings film, so just click on it and see which one it is. How do you suggest the show “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” on the poster without it just being entirely big white text all over the poster?
On your last statement, maybe you need to brush up on your common sense? There’s never going to be a UI that lets you easily read the full title, including sub-title, of every movie ever released, and its poster art, at every resolution from every viewing distance.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
That’s not the mobile UI though. On mobile they’re significantly bigger than that, with far less on the screen at the same time.
Like this:
You gave trouble reading those on your phone? If you do I suggest going to see an optometrist and/or getting a much bigger phone and turn the resolution way down.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
So you’re saying that you get to the ticket booth without being able to see what movies are playing there?
Those movie posters in the OP do all that as much as you can in a single portrait style image.
