- Comment on Risks to children playing Roblox ‘deeply disturbing’, say researchers 2 days ago:
Somehow, they missed all the actual disturbing things about Roblox here.
- Comment on Why do AI company logos look like buttholes? 5 days ago:
Hmm. Reductionist design probably has gone too far if you start to require radial symmetry.
- Comment on Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives 1 week ago:
Why thank you Snot Flickerman, I think you’re pretty random yourself.
- Comment on No one knows what the hell an AI agent is | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
Not buying their shit, hopefully.
- Comment on No one knows what the hell an AI agent is | TechCrunch 4 weeks ago:
So by agent, they mean the same AI but they’re doing all the things you shouldn’t with it? Great…
- Comment on This fucking bot is still out there messaging 1 month ago:
Has anybody actually followed the links? I’m mildly curious.
- Comment on This fucking bot is still out there messaging 1 month ago:
Amazing. I’ve lost count.
- Comment on German thermostat company Tado locks previously free app behind fake paywall, claiming it's "marketing tests" 1 month ago:
And they experiment was to figure out if they can actually do it without getting sued?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I mean, yes. In reality it might well be that there’s not many good black CEO candidates because they’re still stuck in poverty somewhere. Really, DEI would have to start in early childhood education if you want to keep it fair at every stage.
There’s no way I’m diving immediately into nuance with a guy like we’re talking about, though. Lol!
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Either OOP has somehow missed all the statistics about non-white people being underrepresented (media bubble?), or they think all white people are naturally more qualified.
I will relish the day someone like this gives me the opportunity to point that out to them.
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says 1 month ago:
So did I, haha. This was a “yay new friends”-type comment.

You folks ready for the next Rexodus?
- Comment on Oxford scientists achieve teleportation with quantum supercomputer 2 months ago:
Clickbait and a borderline-lie.
Quantum teleportation is a very technical thing you can do with qubits, no actual matter is moved. If you can’t describe a qubit you shouldn’t care about this.
- Comment on You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism [404 Media] 2 months ago:
Donations are usually welcome, if you’re serious about helping.
- Comment on My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro video 2 months ago:
Pretty much what I do with Lemmy, too.
- Comment on Select a tip 2 months ago:
Ah. Okay.
If you go back a bit, I did try to point out it’s different here when I figured out that’s what you meant.
- Comment on Who's going to watch departure times on the departure board? Let's use it for ads! 2 months ago:
“Please purchase a premium subscription to skip sudden interruptions”
- Comment on Who's going to watch departure times on the departure board? Let's use it for ads! 2 months ago:
I think this kind of shit flies because people honestly assume anything their electronics does is technically necessary.
- Comment on Select a tip 2 months ago:
Again, I’m not in America, and that’s not even what I meant. There is no exception to minimum wage for tipped workers here.
- Comment on Select a tip 2 months ago:
Well, the answer to that question would just be no. Like I said, it’s the law, and things can be sketchy here but not like that.
- Comment on Select a tip 2 months ago:
Yes, that is a very incomplete summery of my own statements.
- Comment on To whomever invented LED bus advertisements: I despise you. 2 months ago:
Really? Count the things you’re not allowed to show in public. It’s almost like you can’t go through life with your eyes literally closed so the world doesn’t bother you.
You have to know that, though, so you must be trolling.
- Comment on To whomever invented LED bus advertisements: I despise you. 2 months ago:
I always keep an eye out for the comments that would be the most incomprehensible in the last century. This is a great example.
- Comment on To whomever invented LED bus advertisements: I despise you. 2 months ago:
I haven’t had the displeasure yet.
- Comment on Select a tip 2 months ago:
And why would they tell me, a relative stranger who, while actually local, seems kinda like a dirty city liberal? Or worse, they know who I am and that I’m weird.
You seem to be making a ton of assumptions about what my local environment is like, how much time I have, how good my Lemming social skills are, and how much importance I would place on this one particular aspect of our society, versus all the others I could be thinking about.
- Comment on Select a tip 2 months ago:
I have no special knowledge of the working conditions of local restaurants.
- Comment on Romance scammers are now in the fediverse 2 months ago:
Heh. Jokes on her, I’m a terrible, poor mark. If she needs 10 grand for bail she’s just stuck in a Singaporean prison.
- Comment on Romance scammers are now in the fediverse 2 months ago:
Yep, got it. Twice, actually, somebody’s finger must have slipped.
- Comment on Select a tip 2 months ago:
Like, most people. Unless they offer, it’s not culturally expected to be a gift. “No, I won’t discuss this over coffee”/“no, we can’t have the meeting at a restaurant” would go over like a wet fart, and explaining that it’s because of minimum wage workers wouldn’t make it much better. (FWIW I’m also poor enough that’s a pretty big expense, but middle and upper class people hate being reminded people like me exist)
Congratulations on getting out. Best of luck wherever you are now.
- Comment on Select a tip 2 months ago:
Wait, where are you? I thought I recognised you from .ca, but it sounds like you might be thinking of the US system where they can pay nothing except tips. In my province you earn at least minimum wage as a waiter, and tips.
If I were to just straight up refuse to eat from restaurants under any circumstance, I’d be heavily incurring those intangible costs I mentioned, because it’s an expected social thing. That being said, I might consider it if I was in the US, but I’m not.
Also, tips have expanded well beyond servers, but that’s kind of beside the point.
