Last time I had to wear glasses was during the heavy phase of covid, and wearing masks caused a LOT of fogging up. I’m sure that exact same reason made a lot of people aware of proper glass treatment.
- Comment on ENHANCE 1 week ago:
Glasses are mildly inconvenient when it’s cold, somewhat inconvenient when you have to wear headgear that don’t take it into account, and very inconvenient when you have to move your head a lot or look down a lot. Anyway, I took the laser instead of the plastic bit that costs a lot and gets lost easily.
…and I keep wearing glasses anyway because the sun is still a thing that exists outside, anyway.

You should check. I’ve been surprised by the amount of “suggested accounts” on bluesky that were people I lost track of when quitting twitter.
- Comment on No good excuse to still be on Xitter 2 weeks ago:
So true. Two years ago I still used twitter for nsfw content, but even that got weird (and really suspicious sometimes).
This is why we can’t have nice things.

As a dev I would try negative value in the custom field.
- Comment on Why do some laws exist if everyone is expected to just break them? 2 weeks ago:
It sounds like you’re proud of your culture of not giving a crap about rules set to improve safety for everyone. On that account, I agree that we’ll never see eye to eye about this.
- Comment on Why do some laws exist if everyone is expected to just break them? 2 weeks ago:
You’re not expected to break them. For your example, you’re not supposed to go over the speed limit. And it is, in fact, extremely easy to do so. Most people are fine with it. And, no, it’s not impossible to do so. There is nothing forcing you to go faster for little to no gain and increased risk for you and other.
You expecting to go over tells something about you.
- Comment on Is anyone planning on doing anything about trump creating a concentration camp at guantanamo bay? 3 weeks ago:
At this point, beyond enduring, I’m afraid there is no “non violent” options. And to be clear, I don’t think non-violent options are going to improve anything, just that there’s not much else to do.
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 3 weeks ago:
Not having to be available at the ready for people is great.
If you arrange for a call, through another asynchronous mechanism, then it’s fine. If you cold-call me to ask about the weather (or, more seriously, anything that could have been a text message), I’ll leave decapitated horse head in your fridge.

If someone doesn’t care about themselves, why would they care about other or littering.

You’re nass.
- Comment on My Honest Opinion 3 weeks ago:
Sure. Only problem is, it’s a people issue. Some people making ai generated content may be honest and willing to abide to such rule, but most are proud to not even read the rules and just blast shitty slop left and right. For this second category of people, when you point it to them, a very small percentage of them goes “oh, sorry”. The vast majority just keep posting until blocked.
Granted, this experience mostly stems from every media posting sites out there, so it may be a bit biased…
- Comment on Gimme some evidence that anyone at all in the government is pushing back on Trump with any effectiveness at all. Someone throw me a bone here. 😬 3 weeks ago:
Most of the safeguards were removed in trump’s previous term, and now the way’s open.
Good luck.

Add to this that some media are “baffled at what it could mean”…
- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 4 weeks ago:
Every phone out there that can be heard by people 100m away is the indication of a garbage person, that’s not linked to a brand or a specific group.
Seriously, fuck you.
- Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 month ago:
It can be. Or it can be someone that had to deal with users (or was trained about it) and is limiting the chances of a user being kept out because they type something that looks like their password but isn’t, and then have to go to support.

Nice try. I’m not breaking the server’s moderation rules.

They where the same thing. That’s the point.
- Comment on Heavy is the head that wears the crown 1 month ago:
Why? It’s relatively cheap and tastes good. Well, as long as you’re not in the US it seems.
- Comment on Please create a non-secure password. 1 month ago:
64 characters picked at random in
[a-zA-Z0-9_]is perfectly fine if password is your only option. Special character do not increase significantly the difficulty of bruteforcing it, but introduce the risk of having to manually type"}à.å÷Â!!ç-×ô@¸Á¢±ãÕß>>úÓ}¼º¤«<_àÅû§Æ]*ÂñçÌÿ§à®&ܱ=Ú-´ð¹é$.>=;Ö` if something goes catastrophically wrong. - Comment on There was a time when everyone had common sense 1 month ago:
Sometime, you grab the manual of some old piece of junk, there’s all the electronic schematics, parts list, all adjustable things that should never face end user, etc. described in it.
Now, it’s just “push button. if led not go vroom vroom, call support”.

Seeing that lemmy is plastered with posts coming from reddit, I’m not sure this is great news.
- Comment on Every time I search a windows error 2 months ago:
That’s the support forums. It gets worse with actual support, that goes all chummy friendly, adds emoji and exclamation marks randomly. I would not have been surprised if my last exchange with MS Support ended with “tee hee”.
They’re weird.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 2 months ago:
Public service can handle large scale renting situations, ensure that the lodgings are kept up to standard, and limit the ever increasing price of rent by not being profit-driven. Individual landlords that are out there making a profit on something that only gain value and usually requires minimal upkeep (that some don’t even do) are parasites, plain and simple.
But the concept of public services acting for the well being of others is not well understood in some countries, I guess.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 2 months ago:
Sure. Having the means to pay something once, and have it be repaid multiple times back with little to no expense, sometimes not even the bare minimum to remain “legal” housing, is a “service”.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 2 months ago:
Making money on the back of someone else with little to no work of yours is parasitic. Having enough money at one point in life to become a parasite doesn’t change anything.

I assume kinky people that are not D&D players just haven’t tried it. And D&D players that aren’t kinky… well, same.
- Comment on Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old? 2 months ago:
Seeing the brand names you cited, I’ll assume you’re in the US, so my comment may or may not be as useful as some brands are way different in France (for example, Subway is decent most of the time).
Growing up I sure got less and less attracted to fast food, and trying it occasionally did feel bad in some case. Although there’s a definite shift in not wanting to clog my own arteries, it’s not all there is to it. Some brands really feel awful now (McDonald’s being the worst fast food out there these days), but there are also other that still “hit that spot” (BK mostly). I think it’s safe to say that some big names let themselves go bad, AND it is still possible to find good fast food stuff.
With that said, it do gets more expensive, as everything else. The craving for fast food really become less common as time pass, and although it’s still good while eating, there’s still a tinge of guilt afterward, knowing it’s both too expensive for what it is (I mean the actual food, not necessarily that it’s too expensive for service and stuff) and that it’s not that great for yourself.
I’d say if you keep them as an occasional treat and know a few good places to indulge, it can work. But it sure feels like it requires more thinking than just dropping in any fast food joint to have a good time.
