• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The way sign up currently is, probably not. It would still default to bsky.social and your average person isn’t going to think about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should i be giving a shit about my posture?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Only in that direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I make games and this literally happened to me this morning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering you’re a hobbyist and probably don’t have marketing, it’s too soon to say it’s a flop. Many games like that pop off later once it gets seen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burning Up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If an argument is being made for one thing, Fahrenheit, it’s not relevant to bring up a different thing. Why is feet a good measurement? Maybe it’s not, we’re talking about temperature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Burning Up⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If Fahrenheit is “how people feel” then why are feet useful measurements of height when 90% of people are between 4ft and 6ft?

  Those are two different things. Hope this helps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pray they don't alter it any further⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got back into torrenting media and using plex because of all this nonsense. I’m not watching ads on a paid service and I’m not subscribing to 6 services at a time just because every company wants their own Network+ service. I’m also not going to pay more because you decided to add ads to an existing “tier”.

  Then I learned through lemmy about real-debrid and stremio/torrentio and decided to try that. Now I’ve got the equivalent to these services for much less cost and the only difference is before I press play on an episode or movie, I just choose the cached torrent. No ads, don’t even need the space on a hard drive, good quality, and almost everything is immediately available.

  Get your routine cleaning. If you have a cavity they’ll tell you and you don’t have to get it filled right away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the current temperature sometimes lower than today's low temperature? For example right now it 13F with a predicated low today of 16F!⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of context you’re right, but most of the time when you open a weather app you’ll get a more detailed view where you can see, in this example, that 29 is the high and 16 is the low for the day with 13 being the current temperature. Once you look at that one time you would know what these numbers are in this shortened view.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Image uploads, federation delays, and performance⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, happy new year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD**⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My Vizio has never done this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Restoring deleted account⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I stop my keyboard from saying help instead of hello?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You won’t die from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I stop my keyboard from saying help instead of hello?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As opposed to: Hello 🥺🥵🫦

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any self-cleaning cat litter boxes any good, or worth the money?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine was like that, make sure you check for firmware updates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are any self-cleaning cat litter boxes any good, or worth the money?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey now, it’s only $700 where I am.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where can I find recipes without the author's personal anecdotes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I use copymethat.com. you can grab it as an extension in your browser or an app on your phone and then when you find these recipes it grabs the actual recipe out from all the nonsense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Youtube ads finally got me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe Google is “testing” it right now, so for some people it’s been slowly escalating to where they were allowed 3 videos before it stopped them from watching anymore videos with the ad blocker enabled.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How should I wash dishes/surfaces in contact with raw chicken?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Dish soap. Washing up liquid. Whatever your country calls that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How should I wash dishes/surfaces in contact with raw chicken?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an old school thing that’s been held over by kids learning from their parents. In modern society there is no real benefit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buying neices and nephews Christmas presents?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If I am still seeing them every Christmas and I know I will they will always still get gifts. When/if they become family that I don’t see, or maybe see around Christmas, then I might move to something like a card sent in the mail with a gift card or some cash, or even nothing at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't OneDrive/Sharepiont the exact OPPOSITE of a shared drive?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you do a little research and figure out how to get it setup you can share that knowledge with your boss. There are SOME things that could depend on how IT or the SharePoint owner configured things - like at my job there’s one SharePoint where they turned off linking it in my OneDrive - but otherwise you should be able to get it close to how it used to be.

  It’s definitely silly for your boss to keep it all in his onedrive and sharing it out. OneDrive is supposed to be personal storage that you CAN collaborate on. SharePoint and Teams (basically SharePoint on the back end) are where team-wide storage should be. But, having gone through a transition to M365 I understand they probably just don’t understand and did what they thought they could.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paid full price and got this in the mail (open box). GameStop and I have different definitions of “new”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Like what? It’s in their box, with their sticker that says the games name, “new”, and has a barcode. What do you think they’re going to accuse you of?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually yes, but this person is saying theirs does not have a physical keyhole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemm.ee plans for mitigating image upload abuse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not yet but I wish there was. I use imgur quite a lot and I like the idea of a fediverse version. Especially with the direction they’ve gone lately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dethroning lemmy.ml, lemm.ee rises as the second most active instance⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t they defederate from some large instances until they get better moderation tools?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What mildly infuriates me is the lack of content control in this sub⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fellas, is moderating a community authoritarianism?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Sponsored recommendations": I pay for Spotify Premium, and yet somehow I'm still the product?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unrelated service, but I use Walmart for their grocery delivery, which I pay for and I have a Walmart+ subscription. In the “my items” section, the section specifically for things I have already purchased before, they recently added sponsored items.

  Yes, it’s clearly marked but for fucks sake Walmart I’m trying to just get more of stuff I’ve bought before. You have pages and pages of sponsored stuff elsewhere, leave my items alone!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I ask this girl out?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  BUT be prepared to never go back to her work again. Especially if she says no.

  I don’t think that’s necessary. Unless the OP is pushy and a creep just asking, accepting a no, and moving on shouldn’t bar them from the dispensary forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you all prefer lemmy as a whole reaches the userbase of reddit, or to remain smaller?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t mind the number of people on Reddit, I had a problem with Reddit itself being greedy. If something shitty happens here I can move instances or host my own. That’s why I’m here now, so I don’t really care how big it grows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel this place has gotten more.. reddit-y lately?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If somebody develops that feature, they’ve said they’ll merge it. github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2397#issuecommen…
