  genders are not defined by shape of the human but by biology

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  if it’s an app, it’s not n OS, and does not replace an OS.

  People want to replace the OS to get rid of forced data mining, forced updates, other limitations, and to be able to install other software

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the EU uses online signature for European Citizen's Initiative, why isn't voting online for elections or policies not allowed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  because it’s much less important and so much less risky

  switch to firefox and install the ublock origin. it should get rid of it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  to not buy the new one. but if I have already bought it, before it was enshittified even, I don’t want to buy a new one to be able to reconfigure it unless absolutely necessary

  I’ve fallen into this trap too a year ago or so. try if the Logitech Onboard Memory Manager is useful for any of your devices, it’s a totally offline program. you can get it from the page below, but if it’s been taken down check the archive.org, I think I have made an archive of the exe too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I avoid enshitification of my keyboard and mouse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  garbage advice lol

  the software has useful features, like reconfiguring buttons on your mouse. however lately all of them got to be enshittified with a login requirement.

  the real solution is to not buy their shit, or to keep buying used hardware for which decent software configurator is still available

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why limit immigration?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  in my country that’s exactly what is happening, they are taking the simpler jobs for much cheaper, and lot of our “native” people has/had jobs like this.

  ironically, this country is among the loudest in anti-immigration in the EU, all the while they are immigrating people from neighboring countries exactly for cheap labor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  if this doesn’t, then it doesn’t have any, and people would leave it alone near 0 votes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it might have been just because OP did not understand what they wanted to mean. I don’t either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is Lemmy better than Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To me the way it’s better is that it’s more free in a sense. For one it does not even attempt to limit what software you use for browsing it, but also if you very dislike certain people/content, like-minded people can host their server without losing access to most of the other content, while being able to block the unwelcome instances and users.

  Downvote brigading is not a technical problem though, but a people problem, isn’t it? So the solution against that would be stricter moderation, maybe banning a few more instances (but that’s not really a good solution unless it’s very extreme), and making people downvote less.
  Hmm, thinking about it, maybe a daily per-user “downvote budget” would be an interesting experiment? To see if it would be effective. Or with an other interval, but still not too long, and maybe partly connected to account active days (not account age).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am not promoting death or killing but are the countries where they are freely allowed to kill nazi's? Kind of like in some parts of Africa are allowed to kill poachers?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All in 11 days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That doesn’t matter because they won’t be here by the time that happens

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal - Mobilegamer.biz⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Who’s going to pay the new fees imposed by unity?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come I can’t see all comments in some (maybe all?) posts on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Try reloading it once or twice. I usually have to do that to have more than just a few comments show up

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many Lemmy instances use weird TLDs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There are people who use (regex) blocking for the zip TLD and that other one that google released with it, for the reason that they can be very deceptive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a more politically conservative part of the fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Fortunately not everyone lives in the US

  I’m not an electrician either, but can all those volts be just added up?
