My opinion is that clock noon should be as close to solar noon as possible.
Either that or drop the whole idea of time zones too.
- Comment on Trump champions bid to nix clock changes by adopting permanent daylight saving time 1 week ago:
What a fucking stupid idea.
- Comment on I was a husky boy and look how I turned out 2 weeks ago:
early 70s.
So…available in the ’70s like OP said.
- Comment on Steam refund 3 weeks ago:
This might fall under “less work than a demo” but far too many games that do have a demo, the devs don’t bother keeping it up to date.
- Comment on Rip lol 5 weeks ago:
Here ya go. Not so much funny as sad.
- Comment on So many choices. Think I'll start with Rodent's Revenge 1 month ago:
Yeah but these were self-contained and small enough to fit on a floppy disk. You definitely could have just copied them.
- Comment on Why are there different region codes for discs? (DVD & Blu Ray) 1 month ago:
Yeah but the main reason for all those copyright law differences comes down to “greed”
- Comment on It hurts. 1 month ago:
A “modern” design, the current trend of shitty suburban layout that seems to be the alternative to the grid layout complained about.

But phone selfies mirror the image already so it should be forward again. So it’s correct I guess?
- Comment on Fascism bad. 2 months ago:
reread Chicken Little
If those people could read, they’d be … less upset, I guess.
- Comment on What's in a name 2 months ago:
But it’s only a mirror in one of those two ways.

Yeah… that’s not a teaspoon.
- Comment on This is a baby cow 3 months ago:
I think that should be “baby highland cow”

Ummm… I have questions.

They’re a mixed bag. Some are good, others less so. My family spent a summer taste testing and rating apple varieties. Fuck [Diesel] Sweeties and their horrible chemical flavor.

Sure but not every opinion needs to be a discussion. There’s nothing wrong with downvoting or upvoting and moving on.
- Comment on Save as PDF 3 months ago:
Im not so sure. I bet more than half of the drivers out there produce PCL output, and there are a lot of printers that use other languages too like ZPL and a myriad of others.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 3 months ago:
I just find it very odd, the seeming beginning of a Lemmy culture of “you would downvote me? EXPLAIN YOURSELF SIR”
No, I should not need to explain myself, a downvote shouldn’t carry that much weight, it’s not that big of a deal. Less than a middle-finger or even a thumbs down. At most a disagreeing shake of the head in conversation.
Further, the reasons can be their own, maybe someone wants to downvote everyone with a username starting with “h” just for a fun gimmick.
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 3 months ago:
As another downvoter I will also take the time to explain:
I will basically always happily downvote people whining about downvotes. Especially if the whining is preemptive.
If I were going to turn every downvote into a conversation I’d be at this all day. And it would further encourage bad behavior because any engagement is good engagement right?: If you can pull someone into a quagmire of discussion then ragebait comments and posts would be the order of the day.
The downvote button is a quick shortcut to let people know their comment is “bad”, with a lot less risk of raising attention to the level where someone might dig through post/comment history or worse doxx/swat someone.
Does that mean that downvoting is perfect? Of course not. I would say that probably downvotes should be weighted much lower than 1:1 with upvotes, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it makes sense to ignore them completely or maybe just a tiebreaker. Might also be important to distinguish comment-downvotes from post-downvotes, but I’ll gladly leave it to the software designers to worry about all that.

Nothin’ wrong with McClure’s.
- Comment on It keeps happening 3 months ago:
It seems she was paid but not very well: “a big job for very little cash”
- Comment on I'm losing my mind 3 months ago:
Everything reminds me of her.

You know you can break those units into smaller units right?
Also most thermometers are only accurate to about +/- 2 degrees F anyway.

Nah, probably corn syrup.
- Comment on Hard choices. Who would you choose? 4 months ago:
Then you already know your answer to “are there any female dog companions in cartoons?”
- Comment on Hard choices. Who would you choose? 4 months ago:
You mentioned Blue’s Clues but you ignored the main character? Or do you not consider Blue as a “dog companion”?
