  I’m not disagreeing, just pointing out that it is likely not as big of an issue as people make it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the solution to QR code phishing?⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems quite difficult to combat. Especially if there is a 0 day exploit based in the web browser for iOS or Android devices that attackers could use for their nefarious purposes.

  Not sure about Android, but on iOS, when one scans a QR code it shows the web address on the screen that the user then taps on. For the average user, I doubt that they are going to question what the URL is before following through to the website.

  Perhaps Apple and Google could implement a sort of verification that a link is suspect or not, and prompt the user to either proceed or not. Anti-phishing blocklists are a thing, so it would seem that it wouldn’t be too difficult. Though that would not stop domains that have not been added to the blocklists from passing the verification attempts.

  A quick search suggests that a 2 minute charge will provide a few hours of use, while it takes about 2 hours to charge it fully. Whether that is acceptable or not is up to the user, of course. But to me that seems pretty reasonable. Though none of this really matters for me, as I don’t use mice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how long it takes for the firmware update to take place. A few minutes? An hour?

  I recognize the community I’m in rn. Just curious about how long it actually takes. I doubt it takes very long, or happens very often.

  In a similar vein was the location of the charging port on the Apple mouse. Sure it seems asinine, but you only charge it like once a month, so it really isn’t an actual issue. It was just an excuse to hate on Apple products.

  My lord, you need to touch some grass. “White cracker” really? That has to be the lamest insult one could hurl at someone. “Ukrainian cucks”? Come on, try harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s come back to reality, yeah?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like we’ll have to agree to disagree with your stupid take on things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So when a sovereign nation can no longer defend itself from a more powerful one, they should cede their lands and resources? That ridiculous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah miss me with that shit. The Ukrainians deserve the right to not be invaded by any other nation. Fuck off with that imperial bullshit. They certainly had their own internal struggles. But that does not give the Russians any sort of mandate to invade, bomb and maim them. Fuck that. Russia is no better than the west. East vs west is about as stupid as it gets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I stand with Ukraine. Why should they give up their sovereign land to an invader? I’d say the say damn thing if it was the US as the aggressor.

  Russia invaded Ukraine, unprovoked, and you call for Ukraine to give up its land? That’s absurd.

  It is absolutely possible to care about more than one thing at a time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobody Cares If Music Is Real Anymore⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Before streaming services were a thing, I had a very carefully curated and tagged music collection. But these days? Streaming is fine. There are a few songs, less than 10 out of a library of ~ 800, that I’ve added manually.

  But you don’t own it! For most people, they don’t care about that. They care about convenience. Open an app, search for a playlist/genre/band/song and hit play.

  AI music sucks, because it is so bland and boring. It is certainly possible that it will get better, but for the genres I listen to, I highly doubt that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll be staying home this year. There is nothing to celebrate. At this point I’d rather watch it all burn down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people especially men care if someone forgives a cheating partner⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just leave this poor guy alone. You cheated. Move on, grow as a person, and don’t disrespect someone’s trust like that again. He’ll never fully be able to trust you again. You are getting the same responses every time you post about this shit. If you are looking for absolution, you’ll likely not find it here.

  Perhaps Ashley Madison has a lemmy instance where you can discuss this with fellow cheaters.

  That’s pretty cool. Reminds me of a Seinfeld episode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really did⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell yeah! I still do that on road trips to pass the time. Keeps things a bit interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really did⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s really cool!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really did⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I enjoyed looking at the big map of my state and calculating the approximate time we would either pass a city, or arrive at our destination. It was fun. I was pretty close too!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people confuse your nationality?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where do you think I’m from? I’m definitely from a country very close to what you have guessed!

  Kidding aside, I’m from Michigan in the US. These Uber trips were from the town I was born in. I have no idea why I pronounce certain words the way I do. It certainly is not the way anyone else I’ve known speaks. Pretty odd, right?

  Only upvotes! I’m sure it has nothing to do with the instance I am on having downvotes disabled lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people confuse your nationality?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I was an Uber driver, like 10ish years ago, people would ask if I was from the US (I live in the US) often. Apparently the way I pronounce some things can come across as having an accent, which I don’t see. I think the only thing I pronounce differently is dollar; doh-llar. Why? I have no idea. At first I’d be like “nope, born and raised in this city”, but after a while I would lean into it, for fun. I’d ask “where do you think I’m from?”, and then respond with a country that is adjacent to their guess. It was always Eastern European, which I do have some distant lineage, but far far removed. I would then follow it up with the “just kidding, born and raised here” and we’d all have a good laugh. 🤷🏻‍♀️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Chiropractic was literally invented by a man who didn’t feel like he needed to go to medical school. It is not based in science. This is not some new misinformation campaign. It has been well known, since the inception of it. Do some research on it if you don’t believe me. It’s quackery. It’s nice that it seems to have helped you. But again, not science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not creepy. But I could not imagine dating someone who is close in age to my adult children. It’s weird.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨George R. R. Martin's New Announcement Has Finally Made Me Accept He's Never Finishing The Winds Of Winter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I gave up on him finishing the series years ago. I was super into the books, as they elaborated on so much that GoT had to leave out for practicalities sake. I agree with others that the world simply got too big. A final book in the series would likely not do enough to give the various plot lines justice and a sense of finality.

  The show really needed another 2-3 seasons to flesh out the plot lines that were laid. The three eyed raven, the faceless men, the children of the forest, the white walkers…and we get bran as the new leader? Absurd. Danny becoming mad felt right, but everything else was wrapped up horribly. There’s so much more that the show could have been. But instead D&D got a Star Wars deal, that never panned out, and peaced out. A damn shame.

  I had always thought that Martin had a proper plan for the series. But again as others have said here, perhaps this was the ending that he had in mind. If so, then damn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump Claimed a Video Showed ‘Burial Sites’ of White Farmers. It Didn’t.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s the beauty of arguing in bad faith: The headline is the story, and his sycophants will believe it without reading the article with even a modicum of skepticism. They take everything at face value, whereas those critical of Trump may do a cursory search to find out that he is straight up lying.

  White Genocide is absurd on its face, and those who believe it are stupid at best, or fascist at worst. Fuck him and his hateful rhetoric.
