  This looks horrible. I love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sign me up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Republicans are so cooked that they think liberals are the leftist endgame and socialists are just straight communists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lime bikes dumped in canals and rivers 'posing pollution risk'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, if you live in a shithole country like the US or a wanna-be-shithile country like the UK, companies can just trample you privacy. But in the EU, privacy is protected and you can easily introduce legislation that any non-government surveillance needs to be set up in a way that makes automatic permanent surveillance impossible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lime bikes dumped in canals and rivers 'posing pollution risk'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The modern bikes need an account with valid fiscal info to unlock. There is no way to “not pay”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lime bikes dumped in canals and rivers 'posing pollution risk'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The recording nedds to be saved only when the accelerometer detects the bike being thrown.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lime bikes dumped in canals and rivers 'posing pollution risk'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You only need to save the recording when the bike’s accelerometer detects the bike being thrown.

  Install 360° cameras, film those assholes and make them pay for retrieval.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨70% of games that require internet get destroyed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Two more months to go and more than 50% left to reach 1 million signatures. It’s sad to see that with how many people game, this petition has so little reach. I guess we’ll have to wait till Fortnite is shut down, then suddenly many more will care that their childhood game is gone forever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is andor still worth watching if I've never seen anything else Star Wars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Of all the Star Wars shows past the original trilogy, this is the show worth watching the most, if you do not care for the world of Star Wars.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Almost 19% of Japanese people in their 20s have spent so much money on gacha they struggled with covering living expenses, survey reveals - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is exactly the reason why I won’t play gacha games. First everyone complains about loot boxes and microtransactions and then a game-genre where that’s the core of the game takes off.

  Just goes to show that the people that (rightly) complain about microtransactions cheapening gaming experiences were always in the minority and most will just keep spending like headless chickens.

  Most people I know aren’t or don’t see themselves as gambling addicts. They’re “proud” about how much they spent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Artist Depiction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The artist’s impression would more accurately convey the danger of hippos though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of CAPTCHA is this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It absolutely is malware. The Text you see is a comment appended to the end of a command that’ll download malicious software. The comment is placed in such a way that the command is out of frame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We had a deal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That account and their timeline make them look like a bot

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks Aragorn could have done more⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, the least he could’ve aak. Those guys seemed to enjoy killing, so maybe they would’ve liked killing more orcs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a business idea⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Given that he does photos for 10 brides a day and still has free time, he must’ve been upfront about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I was a multimillionaire, I had a beautiful girlfriend, I was unhappy’: the ups and downs of a supertrader⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The share price does reflect the worth of the company in that a low share price will prevent companies from taking on loans to expand or keep operating. That was the whole idea behind the GameStop shorting saga. Also, the share price also benefits those that hold a majority of the shares. Musk is the richest man on earth because he holds the most Tesla shares. He can use the fact he owns these shares in order to take out loans with great conditions and to buy influence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘I was a multimillionaire, I had a beautiful girlfriend, I was unhappy’: the ups and downs of a supertrader⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You may not pay the company when you buy shares from another trader, but you buying the shares drives the price of the shares and with that it makes the company more valuable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's Anon's birthday⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or he said it because he was done waiting for his next pay check.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Victim Anon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But given Anon knew what Win 10 is and the father obviously did not, my guess is that the father clicked on the ‘upgrade now!’ panel Microsoft used to pester Win 7 and Win 8 users with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government”⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You should’ve voted yes. It’ll get X banned faster in Europe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I wanna ROCK⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel for every child that has to find out their parents are fucking stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grrr why is it censored⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt it. I don’t think Snowden can allow himself to use social media much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grrr why is it censored⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the conspiracy theory that the MCDonalds worker doesn’t exist and is just a front to hide illegal government surveilance, the likes Snowden warned about. I hope Snowden is well, all things considered. That man deserves peace of mind, hard to come by when you’re stuck in Russia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon plays spin the bottle⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So Lemmy is just one big Tanki-infested shithole and everyone posting here deserves to be bullied, including you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is jealous⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t understand the meme you responded to to be exclusively talking about piracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is jealous⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not saying that the scarcity of digital goods isn’t bullshit, but it’s rarely what keeps people poor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is jealous⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, wasn’t the whole point of climate change that we use more resources than the ecosystem can replenish?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thieves caught stealing political yard signs⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All the tracker does (to my knowledge) is sending out a Bluetooth signal every Bluetooth-capable device that has been backdoored the appropriate software running and Bluetooth enabled, which is at least all IPhones, as well as many Android smartphones, will pick up those Bluetooth signals, calculate the rough distance based on the delay, and then send the rough location to the Apple servers. The Airtag itself does not calculate anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfish memory⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if you remind your child of a specific memory they made daily, if they will remember that moment till their adult life.

  Go visit hexbear.net/PPB (nsfw) for a good reason why one might want to defederate from them.
