- Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments? 1 day ago:
Appreciate your thoughts and responses!
Though we disagree on the effectiveness, I am all in favour of what you are pushing towards.
- Comment on [Ahoy] What genre is DOOM? 3 days ago:
It’s so funny to be reminded of that period in the 90s where any first person game was described as a “DOOM clone”, because DOOM itself was the first FPS that hugely took off.
- Comment on Is triple triple the same as triple triple triple? 1 week ago:
Without additional context, no. One has a word extra.
- Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments? 1 week ago:
It says nothing, so you have copyright on it.
Adding a restrictive license to it only means as much as you’re willing and able to police it yourself and take others to court.
As an individual, for individual comments of two sentences each, this is not an option.
- Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments? 1 week ago:
As far as I can tell, they don’t prohibit it. Couldn’t find any mention of it in Lemmy.world TOS
- Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments? 1 week ago:
If they even notice it, they will say that the website TOS is the relevant license.
Eirher way, they will just go ahead and use it. None of us have the resources or perseverance to take them to court in a meaningful way.
- Comment on The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook 1 week ago:
Assume I’m a
psychopathC-level executive. Why would I spend huge resources on a success that earns money when I can earn money on fifty screwups instead? - Comment on "Batch cooking" how do you store meal for the second half of the week ? 2 weeks ago:
Like other comments have said: Cooked and quickly refridgerated is always good for a week. In addition to that, using portion size containers for the food makes it easier to eat. Especially handy for food you freeze.
- Comment on Is there any gadget that helps find, kill or repel mosquitoes? 3 weeks ago:
They suck at flying in a light breeze, so putting a fan on your porch or balcony does help.
- Comment on Pros and cons of getting a job at a very small software company? (14 employees) 4 weeks ago:
Whether the culture is good or bad is not strongly indicated by the size. You’ll get a good feel by meeting them. Prepare some questions on turnover and overtime use. You want both low.
You will have to do work that in a bigger company would be specialist work. Some possible examples: Maintain infrastructure, drag network cables, purchase your computer, negotiate with service providers, software architecture, UX, product strategy, frontend, backend, integrations, customer support, QA, etc. All this could be heaven or hell based on your personality. :)

Paul of LoadingReadyRun made an entire channel out of that just to see how it worked out: youtube.com/@thingsonmyhead
- Comment on 1000 years from now physics is forgotten and all that remains is the legend of two hobbits, Charm and Spin, and their quest for the Higgyboson. At this point, is physics true? 4 weeks ago:
Whichever revelation you’ve had that you are dying to “teach” everyone, it’s easier if you just state it directly.
I guarantee you it’s not as reality-shattering as you think it is. Whatever it is, we have seen or thought it and multiple variations of it before.
Let it out, maybe you get some interesting insights to learn from instead of this. It’s just silly.

Hes a r/iamverysmart dude attempting the socratic method (which is a legit teaching method for one-to-one tutoring) on a fucking group of people. Setting aside the base assumption that he just has some great Understanding that we don’t and can’t comprehend if told directly, you can only really do it on one single person if you have a good understanding of what their current mental model is.
Douglas Adams tried it in his book, with the self-insert Avatar character. It was hilariously sad.
Pretentious bullshitter not seeking answers to questions plz ban.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
You have answers here.
Engaging with them instead of balking at pushback and repeating your question is a good way to convince people you are not concern trolling, jaq-ing or sealioning.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
All of these have been pretty open about “what’s up”. If you know about them, you already have the answer.
This is JAQ propaganda. Not a genuine question.
- Comment on If Hitler was captured, what would have been his punishment in the Nuremberg Trials? 5 weeks ago:
People were a lot more into executions back then. That’d be my guess.
The last ever lawful execution in Norway was for a traitor politician helping the nazi invasion.
- Comment on How does the xz incident impacts the average user ? #xz 5 weeks ago:
For exploits like this, most of the risk is in services you use. Websites, power company customer database, etc. are at risk of customer data dumps leaking.
Be extra alert for targeted scams and phishing, i.e. Phil from HBO Max customer department calling and asking to correct your payment details and he sounds very convincing because he knows your username, viewing history, etc.
And be extra fast with installing any security updates on all your stuff.
- Comment on When asked a question, what is your first reaction, to answer the question or to defend yourself? 5 weeks ago:
To answer the real question: “Everyone lives just as full a life as you, they think just as deeply as you do. Sure, people are brand loyal and don’t think about things for themselves sometimes. But you, Mr. People Are Sheep, do the same thing, just in other areas of your life.”

- Comment on If you've been fooled, does that make you "a fool"? 1 month ago:
That is exactly what it means, yes. Though people will probably feel less happy if you point it out explicitly
- Comment on Supernova Absorption for Nulification 1 month ago:
A requirement for supernova is a star’s total mass being above a certain threshold.
If you can imagine some way of siphoning off mass, you could do it.
One imaginable way would be to move the sun (entire system in tow) close to a black hole or larger sun or something to feed off it. This might well be a recipe for causing a bigger mess, but it might be believable.
Wormhole is also a scifi magic solution.
- Comment on Stardew Valley 1.6 Update Full Changelog 1 month ago:
“You can now get multiple pets (after getting max hearts with your starter pet).”
“You can now place hats on cats and dogs.”
I have a goal for my next playthrough
- Comment on If the agreed upon age of the Universe is updated from 13 billion years old to 26 billion years old how does that affect Science and Astrophysics? 1 month ago:
Astrophysicists are generally annoyed at the standard model. It’s got too many fudges in it. Maybe this will make a new and more explanatory model be discovered and accepted.
Practically, nothing much will change except for astrophysicists being really excited for a while because this kind of thing is what science is all about.
- Comment on How do I unfollow a creator on Patreon? 1 month ago:
Ah, interesting. I don’t use the app at all, so that explains my confusion.
- Comment on How do I unfollow a creator on Patreon? 1 month ago:
I can’t find any “following” anything in my Pateron, and to the best of my understanding it’s not an option. Where do you see this?
Are you sure that you’re not on a “free member” thing that some creators have?
- Comment on Is there some sort of Indie Game Showcase? 1 month ago:
Youtube channel “Second Wind” has excellent indie game coverage.
They do “Bytesized” for short reviews of new games. youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUBKwq0XD0uesOmUb2GTsc…
Also they have “Hidden Gem” where they stream an older indie game that went under their radar.
Plus most of their other stuff is pretty on the indie pulse.
- Comment on Is my voice annoyingly high? 1 month ago:
It is fine to listen to and a lot of presenters make a voice like that work well. Don’t worry about it.
If you make a career - or significant hobby - of presenting, do practice getting comfortable with your own voice as much as you can. When you can listen objectively to the sound of your voice, you can do small improvements on your natural voice to make sure you’re always clear, have a good tempo, or give it a tiny bit of character with intonations etc.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
In Norway there’s like 60 names that have a reasonably even usage between genders.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Entering academia early 2000s, I saw people refer to authors of research papers as “they” as a default to sidestep gendering.
On one hand it’s nice to not insert gender where it isn’t needed, but on the more practical hand it wasn’t always possible to tell by name either. European names can have different gender in different regions, or be all Sztrkökla, and names from Asia are even harder to guess.
- Comment on Can you live a fulfilling life with autism? 1 month ago:
Yes, you can live a fulfilling life.
But don’t be afraid to be a weirdo! You are different from the norm. Don’t let anyone make you believe it is a bad trait.
It can be rough in school settings as kids that age are fiercely trying to fit in and push others to fit in. As you get older, it’s easier. People are more chill with weirdness, you will have learned some adjustments to your own behavior to avoid the worst blunders, and you can gravitate to groups of people who are at least a little bit weird.
- Comment on Divine Automation: Factorio and phantasies of mechanization 1 month ago:
Needlessly rude and void of useful feedback.
