Timbers are shivered.
- Comment on We are not the same 1 year ago:
I’m not embarrassed. I’m just tired of being insulted.
It’s funny because it seems like everyone who attacks my code has nothing to show for themselves. Too busy telling others the “right” way to do things lol.
- Comment on We've invented some silly concepts 1 year ago:
That’s the problem, there isn’t even enough for everyone to have one. There are no left overs.
This is why pretty much everyone I know at 25-32 years old, now live at home with their parents. Not only is it unaffordable thanks to landlords profiting off them, but there aren’t enough to even go around.
- Comment on We've invented some silly concepts 1 year ago:
Ya, because there’s not enough to go around.
How doesn’t that make sense?
It’s literally the same concept of stores only allowing 1 item to be purchased, to prevent someone from coming in and buying all of them. Limit 1 per customer.
- Comment on We've invented some silly concepts 1 year ago:
Exactly. It’s rare and valuable. So a single person shouldn’t be allowed to own 12 houses and price gouge them.
Everyone should be allowed 1. If you have a reason to need a second one, you should have to be approved and provide a really good reason.
But nah. Let’s let one person own 12 because they were there first.

How to make people envious of your amazing Apple product: tell them it wouldn’t work and caused an inconvenience for everyone.

Says the guy who wrote a rant reply to my week old comment. Cope, buddy.
- Comment on An admin deleted all my uploads and I have no clue why 1 year ago:
Don’t volunteer if you’re just going to complain about it. You sound worse than Reddit mods.
- Comment on Cyberpunk patch 2.01 now available 1 year ago:
Vehicles still control like garbage, bruv.
- Comment on Snapchat's new avatar design 1 year ago:
This is the 3rd redesign in the last 2 years lol. Damn.
- Comment on Cyberpunk patch 2.01 now available 1 year ago:
Too bad the game is just boring. Vehicles control like garbage and all of the main bugs aren’t fixed, like police just randomly spawning near you.
- Comment on Why shouldn’t I just give up on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
Unpopular answer: you should.
Lemmy is already going downhill since the big surge. Even if you look at sign ups, numbers don’t mean better.
The entirety of Lemmy is too FOSS and Linux focused, and even trying to have a normal basic tech discussion about anything you’ll find yourself getting hate thrown towards you for not using Linux or FOSS. Lemmy users bully the crap out of Sync and Boost developer for asking for a few bucks to support development.
I’m only here because I got IP banned from Reddit, thinking Lemmy would take off. I don’t miss Reddit, but I’m a little sad I ruined my chances of ever being able to go back. Any new account is immediately permabanned.
Even if you stick around, I genuinely don’t believe Lemmy will be here by next October. All of these instances will see a decrease in users, decrease in donations, and they’ll shut down one by one. Actually, weirdly enough having everyone move to just a couple popular instances might keep Lemmy alive longer, as everything won’t be so fragmented.
- Comment on Why shouldn’t I just give up on Lemmy? 1 year ago:
I’d advise against joining any .zip or .mov instances, as many businesses ban those TLDs for security reasons.
I even have them banned at home so my girlfriend who works from home sometimes doesn’t get tricked.
- Comment on An admin deleted all my uploads and I have no clue why 1 year ago:
If you’re making your own scripts that can wipe out an entire, legitimate, actively contributing member, you’re incompetent and should shut that shit down.
A script should never do that. It should flag them for manual review.
Sorry, but it’s 100% on the mod team. Let’s switch out toxic for incompetent.
- Comment on People downvoting a post for a support group. 1 year ago:
Well ya, it’s not about Linux, FOSS, or hatred for cars. Lemmy only likes those things.
- Comment on Canadian politician Pierre Poilievre's slips up and says n-word (accident or trying to be slick ?) 1 year ago:
Only pops out if you’re used to saying it.
I’ve never accidentally said the n word.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
No, I live in the second biggest country in the world.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
Still cheaper, though.
I’d rather have access to pretty much every song on demand for $4 per month and not own it, than pay per song.
I pay $4.25 per month for Spotify. That’s $51 per year. I have access to pretty much every song, or I could buy 39 songs to own instead.
I save more than 39 songs per month. Financially it makes no sense to buy them. Especially if you consider I get bored of some songs, and never listen to them again.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
I did. Look at my Spotify example. It’s literally more expensive to own the songs than to pay for Spotify.
Unless you only want like 30 songs.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
Canada doesn’t care about torrenting.
Again, using a known bad site is ignorance…
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
To drive there? How would you expect I get to my library 35km away?
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
Again, imagine using a known bad website when better alternatives exist.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
Or save the time and gas money and download it.
I mean shit, I don’t even have a DVD burner in any of my computers. Haven’t for a decade and a half. You expect me to grab my external drive to burn a copy? I can download anything on my gigabit connection in 5 minutes.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
Sure. If you want to torrent from a website that the US government uses as a honeypot.
Or you can join 2023 and use a proper website. Also ditch that Malware called uTorrent and use qBittorrent.
- Comment on And now Bezos is trying to inserts ads everywhere 1 year ago:
I don’t hate subscription based services if they’re priced fairly and make sense.
Paying monthly for a service that then starts giving you less, adds more premium plans, introduces ads, etc. is garbage.
Paying for a game, then having to pay a monthly fee to play (WoW, for example), is garbage.
Paying for software, but then having to pay monthly to use the software, is garbage.
Paying for software, but then having to pay monthly to be allowed to contact support (Blue Iris), is garbage.
But paying for things like Spotify, where you get access to pretty much all songs as they release, have no limit on how much you listen to, and it has a fair student pricing or family pricing, that’s fine. Way better than paying per song.
I mean shit, if I paid for every song I have in my library on Spotify, I’d owe $1430. My Spotify is $17 per month, spit between 4 people, so I pay $4.25. I can either pay for every song in my library and not add any more, or pay for Spotify for 28 years and continue growing my library…
- Comment on Lemmy feels so much more welcoming than R*ddit... And it's weird 1 year ago:
Unless you post a comment talking positively about any software that’s not FOSS.
- Comment on But my WiFi is just fine! 1 year ago:
What’s the speed? Do you have a shitty 10mbps connection like my parents? Then WiFi, because you’re easily saturating that line either way.
Do you have gigabit? Then Ethernet, but then again getting like 600mbps wirelessly is good enough.
Biggest thing is having GOOD coverage. My house has multiple access points so that my connection is great everywhere. People with a shitty ISP router shoved in the cupboard in their basement make no sense lol.
- Comment on Fell asleep while wife was driving home last night, she went above and beyond by remembering how important this was to me... 1 year ago:
I hate people that text and drive. Pull over.
- Comment on there is Indeed a problem 1 year ago:
I am on lifelong disability which means I get a guaranteed amount of money each month for life.
No landlords will touch me, a person with a GUARANTEED INCOME.
However, if you have a job, that you can get fired from or quit the next day, they’ll accept you. Blows my fucking mind.
Btw, for anyone wondering, if I lose my job, the government will step in and give me money for my disability. If I have a job, they don’t give me money. If I have a shit job where I make a couple hundred per month, they’ll cover the difference. I don’t mooch off the government, but my point is that I’m lucky enough to have a safety net, and landlords are so dumb they run away from it.

Now imagine jumping in that water before this…
also I feel like a magnet crane might be ideal to grab the majority, and then go in with the claw after to grab the non-magnetic bikes?
