- Comment on Why do we tolerate it that Luigi Mangione is being held in prison. We know its absolutely the least safe place he can be? 1 day ago:
They did it to Joe Hill.
- Comment on Why do we tolerate it that Luigi Mangione is being held in prison. We know its absolutely the least safe place he can be? 1 day ago:
I don’t think it’s the inmates OP is worried about.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
My bias might be at play. Oblivion broke a lot of what was good about Morrowind but also made some improvements. Skyrim improved on what was better and fixed most of what was broken (spellcrafting being a notable exception). Oblivion does have some great storylines, sure, but even there it’s no better than Skyrim and often worse.
I get that for those whose first TES game was Oblivion it was amazing. But for those of us who’d played Daggerfall and Morrowind it was a let-down, a big dip between Morrowind and Skyrim.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
It’s going to be worse than Skyrim in every way except maybe graphics.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
Original DLC is included in the base remaster.
- Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview? 6 days ago:
Part of the problem is that discussion of this issue in particular was very often not civil and created a hostile environment for users.
- Comment on New to lemmy. Is there a version of /r/changemyview? 6 days ago:
That matches my experience with reddit admin. One of my subs had to implement exactly the same rule.
- Comment on Do you know any software development philosophy books? 1 week ago:
Getting Real and The Cathedral and the Bazaar

Too fucking many, extending the worst of the pandemic by months and months and causing thousands upon thousands of unnecessary deaths.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 1 week ago:
He doesn’t do “better”.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
But that’s already how math is taught. Examples, word problems, discussion of applications. It helps students grasp the concepts to know their purpose and use.
- Comment on As a child of the 90s we grew up with PC Political Correctness. Is that WOKE but just in a different form? 1 week ago:
PC is what people call basic politeness when they don’t wanna do it.
Respecting basic human dignity for outgroups is a core part of being woke, for sure.
- Comment on is it ok to call a woman “sir” in your opinion? 1 week ago:
By accident? Probably fine as long as it’s not a pattern.
On purpose? No, that’s shitty.
- Comment on In the United States; is it illegal to use a single serve wrapped slice of Kraft cheese as a postcard? 1 week ago:
You can use any piece of cardstock. I used to cut rectangles out of cereal boxes and use those.
I think it does have to be cardstock or similar weight, though; cheese might not meet the requirements.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 week ago:
Blame OP, she’s the one who sent me back in time.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 1 week ago:
Unfortunately in that circumstance, I’d likely be a horrible vector for disease. Not much chance of survival if I spread devastation wherever I go.
- Comment on Traveling Salesman is NP-Hard, yet Uber Eats delivery route optimization algorithms exist 1 week ago:
Finding the best route is NP-complete. Finding a route is trivial. Finding a pretty good route is good enough for their purposes.
Also keep in mind they’re not to much trying up find the best route between static stops as trying to minimize time between pickup and dropoff for a list of (origin, destination) pairs, constrained by staggered start times for the pickup origins. It’s fundamentally a different problem.

It’s not, though. Shirts have sleeves. Shirts cover the chest, armpits, and shoulders. Tanks are at best athleticwear and at worst underwear.
- Comment on Should visitors to a country (tourist / visa-holders / people staying temporarily) have the right to criticize the government? When should an immigrant have the right to criticize the government? 4 weeks ago:
Should doesn’t enter. They do have that right, it’s a human right, the right of free expression. Doesn’t depend on nationality or location, only humanity.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 4 weeks ago:
Quibble: Many here are explicitly leftist, in the a leftist-not-liberal sense, and will even use “liberal” derogatorily. So, progressive, yes, but liberal, not necessarily.
- Comment on LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’ 4 weeks ago:
The quote is right though I suspect he means something very incorrect by it. If your work is hostile to your life, you’re losing; ditch that job immediately.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Exactly the current situation.
And that includes cryptographic techniques, by the way.
- Comment on How does one snap their fingers? 4 weeks ago:
Press your middle finger and thumb together with your pinky in the hollow of the gerl of your hand and your ring finger slightly overlapping it at the base of the thumb. Move the thumb out of the way to the side, allowing the middle finger to accelerated down to strike the spot where the ring finger meets the base of the thumb.
How I learned? In a dream. I literally woke up snapping my fingers and I’ve been able to do it ever since.
- Comment on What is the best political movie? And what is the best apolitical movie? 5 weeks ago:
Dave and The Princess Bride
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 5 weeks ago:
My neighborhood is my “small community”. I don’t need to leave the city for that.
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 5 weeks ago:
It’s “grey” not “gray”. I don’t know which side prefers which, I just know what I prefer.
- Comment on Is there a non leftist version of this website? 5 weeks ago:
Oh shit, it is that guy. A drama in three acts.
- Comment on Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired? 5 weeks ago:
So I can keep the waterproof case sealed.
- Comment on What art style you want to reproduce? 5 weeks ago:
JC Leyendecker
hands down, my favorite 2D artist
- Comment on How does Google make money from Gmail, the google calendar, drive or other services when used with third party front ends? 5 weeks ago:
Many people pay for additional storage on Google.
Plus tying your online identity to Google means you’re more likely to use their other services.
