- Comment on Those who are against iOS and Apple in general, have you tried their devices lately? 1 year ago:
- Are you AI/bot?
- Wall of text = incomprehensible, would not read/5.
- It’s rarely about how good the devices are, but how much they cost + Apple’s two-faced moral model that makes people oppose them
- Comment on Is it just my parents, or do most Boomers view saying "please" and "thank you" as an afterthought? 1 year ago:
There are no relevant studies concerning the topic. What might seem like a widespread trend, might as well be merely a local peculiarity.
- Comment on Can I build up immunity to cold temperature? 1 year ago:
Oh, I wouldn’t ever suggest that the method does everything its author does - the claims of helping in cancer cases and such are wee bit too “optimistic”.
But the question was concerning the possibility to build up cold immunity. And the answer is “yes”. The method I mentioned absolutely will build up cold’s immunity (or resistance, or tolerance if language purism is a factor) in everyone who will attempt it.
There’s no magic hocus-pocus in it. It’s very simple concept used in many “methods” - Buteyko comes to mind, so does Russian Siberia.

- Comment on Why are we anonymous here? 1 year ago:
Because we do not enjoy the invasion on our privacy.
- Comment on Assuming time travelers are real, but only influenced events so far back enough that a smartphone they lost in the past didn't survive for archeologists to find, how far back are we speaking? 1 year ago:
Do not mistake with OP ART.
- Comment on Starfield has gone gold. Preload tomorrow on Xbox/Microsoft Store, and on the 30th on Steam (Bethesda on Twitter) 1 year ago:
You’re good people, man.
- Comment on Starfield has gone gold. Preload tomorrow on Xbox/Microsoft Store, and on the 30th on Steam (Bethesda on Twitter) 1 year ago:
Thank you.
It is my firm belief that Bethesda’s games shouldn’t be tried in less than 3-4 months after their release, due to problems, unpatched bugs and the lack of mods that address some weird design choices. I can wait for that long, especially since I’m so tired these days that I forget what’s my name sometimes… 😉

I hope that Starfield is going to be so good, I will be happy to sacrifice a few minutes of rest to play it. 😬

- Comment on Starfield has gone gold. Preload tomorrow on Xbox/Microsoft Store, and on the 30th on Steam (Bethesda on Twitter) 1 year ago:
YES.
Can’t wait to play this game, even if it means mere 20 minutes before going to sleep…
- Comment on Are people just potatoes? 1 year ago:
No, we aren’t.
Many things share some traits of characteristics and, given langage limitations may be compared to one another, especially from poetical perspective, but it doesn’t make them one and the same.
That’s classic case of “apples & oranges”.
- Comment on Assuming time travelers are real, but only influenced events so far back enough that a smartphone they lost in the past didn't survive for archeologists to find, how far back are we speaking? 1 year ago:
Can’t tell precisely since there are conditions, that might conserve a piece of technology to the point that it’s still going to be recovered and recognized as OOPART.
I guess that a million years or further is relatively safe bet, but even that isn’t granted.
- Comment on What would be some of the issues with drinking your coffee on the toilet while you’re taking a dump, if your coffee cup has a lid? 1 year ago:
It’s one of those occurrences, where merging two pleasant things does not result in a synergy but in antagonism.
You neither can totally relax and empty your bowels like the Lord ordered, nor enjoy a cup of coffee like a civilized human.
- Comment on What is the difference between roasting and baking, since they are both referring to cooking something in an oven? 1 year ago:
It won’t be well roasted.
Depending on the type of food, certain parts of it might still be raw.
- Comment on What is the difference between roasting and baking, since they are both referring to cooking something in an oven? 1 year ago:
The food and temperature is what makes the most of the difference. Roasting is 400F/~200C, baking is 350F/~150C.
- Comment on What are our pointless shout out benchmarks for Lemmy? Hundred posts club? 500 comments? 1 year ago:
Life is underrated.
It’s reverse Final Fantasy - it ends before you’re ready…
- Comment on Are there horror-parcour games? 1 year ago:
Dead by Daylight.
- Comment on What are our pointless shout out benchmarks for Lemmy? Hundred posts club? 500 comments? 1 year ago:
500 comments
Rookie numbers.
- Comment on Can a tornado have the force to knock a cow into your house? 1 year ago:
You asked the question.
These are the links that contain the responses. I find it better to provide evidence, rather than simply answer, since the question is very unorthodox.

- Comment on Rules to slow down spam? 1 year ago:
1st rule won’t stop spam.
3rd rule will bring about too much frustration for non-spammer users.
I’d add:
- no community creation for accounts with less than x comments activity
- only one new community creation per month (?)
- automatic deletion of the communities with no activity over a month (voting/commenting/adding new posts, etc)
- the possibility to choose “do not show threads with LESS than x upvotes in main”
- Comment on Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit old. Any suggestions from the community? 1 year ago:
- Mass Effect
- Tomb Raider
- Arc Survival Evolved
- Syberia
- Comment on Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? 1 year ago:
No, unless:
- I would be tricked into it without the possibility to exit it immediately
- I didn’t realize it’s not what it claimed to be
- There would be no other way to put food onto a platter (I am ready to perform as an exotic dancer in LGBTQ+ clubs, if need be)
- The corpo in talking would be large, transnational and the problem would concern only some distant part of it, one I wouldn’t have any contact with.
But, of course, these scenarios are “once in a lifetime” kind of mental exercise. Nothing more. The answer is “no”.
- Comment on "Extreme bargains" during crisis era 1 year ago:
I’m with you.
Add:
- "crisis is coming, you will absolutely need product x, even though you barely use it, because it will soon disappear from the shelves"
- people overbuy product x
- price inflation, adjacent products are affected too
- long lines and chaos in otherwise dull markets
- BAM! it turns out the shortage was created purely by scare-tactic guerilla marketing
And it involves:
- “journalists” produce fear, scare, hate, fake news
- they never get gallows, even though their lying, toxic language actually KILLS people
- Comment on 1 year ago:
Thanks, Morgan, but I had trouble finding whether the game is on- or offline, then when I fount the button it began to download some assets and then asked me to login with either Polygon or Near, of which I have neither, then it turned out that Near is a wallet…
Perhaps slowing down with your futurism would be worth consideration? 😎
- Comment on Why does “come here” bother me so much? 1 year ago:
Ask him to add “This is interesting!” followed by “please”.
If he won’t, repeat the request 3 times, then announce that you’re going to pretend he didn’t say a thing and refuse to move.
- Comment on Obscure games talk 1 year ago:
Vagrus - The Riven Realms.
Essentially it’s Oregon Trail game in fantasy world. But effectively, it consists of many different genres. There’s caravan management, choice making, strategy, tactical combat, profit making, cRPG… It’s highly complicated, challenging but also very fun.
- Comment on Has AI made any breakthroughs in other fields? Or how close are we to that happening? 1 year ago:
Yes. They can write code.
You don’t seem to understand me, or are trying very hard to not understand me.
I’ll try again, but if it fails, I’ll assume it’s “bring horse to the water” case.
Co: can AIs write their own code? As in “rewrite the code that is them”? Not write some small pieces of code, a small app, but can their write THEIR OWN code, the one that makes them run?
And my point is that neural networks don’t require understanding of whatever they’re trained on.
Your point does not address my argument.
You can’t compare a thing to a thing you neither understand nor can predict its capabilities.
- Comment on What's your favourite Lemmy community so far? 1 year ago:
ZXSpectrum
People there are so happy when they see a game that reminds them of their past. It’s very heartwarming to see someone commenting “man, I remember this game, played it when I was young and happier”.
