Stop using that shit, your life will be better for it.

Still laughing my ass off… Imagine trying to Google for solutions to “windows app” :) :)

Maybe he is not a teenager anymore… :)
- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 1 week ago:
Signed up for subscription service, realized you are getting exploited…
Well… Yes.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 18th 1 week ago:
Tempest Rising, the new modern command & conquer game. I really like it, and struggled for weeks how to beat the computer in skirmish on hard as GDF.
Turns out i hadnt realized the huge value of comms…
- Comment on France’s new laser rifle silently melts electronics at 500 meters — and Ukrainian infantry could really use it 1 week ago:
Its funny because humans see themselves as very smart, but they built a society where everyone has to work all day to pay their bills, because fantasy “money” is seen as a real thing despite just existing inside computer programs.
- Comment on Trump administration fires US Copyright Office head Shira Perlmutter; her office had raised concerns about using copyrighted content to train AI 2 weeks ago:
And then you are fired if that sales guy is actually running the show. Politics…
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 2 weeks ago:
I was talking about reddit alternatives with quality mobile apps, not fediverse apps in general.
In that category i didnt know any besides Lemmy, but ok, piefed is worth checking out. But which mobile app has the quality of Sync?
And yes, im aware that some part of the donations may go to the Lemmy.ml instance but I also believe that developers need to have a decent salary. So its not strange that 1000 dollars per month is not nearly enough to live on. But people just ignore that and focus on not supporting lemmy.ml because they dont like the political views of the developers.
But yeah I will check out piefed. Its good with more alternatives, specially written in easy languages like python, since rust is very difficult to contribute to.

Well, we will see. It would be stupid if Lemmy died because the users couldnt accept the opinions of two little devs, but sure, it may happen.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
Weight classes to take care of body differences? Those are to take care of body differences in the same gender! Lols.

Its an app? No i still have a dumb tv. 50 inch plasma that has lasted 10 years now i think. And I like that its not smart, so it doesnt talk to random stuff on the internet.
I guess I will replace it soon but when I do, that tv gets no internet access. :)

The original post on lemmy.ml by the creator of Lemmy had a lot more details, so maybe just link to that one?
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
Well I dont pick those opinions to please you, so… :)
- Comment on Vitamin technology has advanced so much over the years 3 weeks ago:
Yeah very much. Now its about profits, so quality goes down and price goes up. Modern farming.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
Yeah? I dont agree its transphobic to want women to still be competetive in the sports they are competing in. And thats my opinion.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
You are paying for their programming, not their opinions. I dont think its a big deal if they have flaws or opinions i dont agree with.
So they dont like trans people. How does that even matter? Any trans person can use the platform anyway. The code doesnt have any opinions, its just code, and that code can be used to support trans people. The little opinions of the devs have no effect on this.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 3 weeks ago:
Those places suck and doesnt even have quality apps…
- Comment on Vitamin technology has advanced so much over the years 3 weeks ago:
I have doubts its the same for the body. Vitamins from a pill and vitamins from proper food…
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 3 weeks ago:
I was using the official YouTube app since I wanted to use chromecast to get a video up on my tv.
I havent used revanced, seems interesting also. But Newpipe just does what I need so im happy.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I have a few colleagues that did that too. But I dont want to support big tech by being paying user.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 3 weeks ago:
I tried YouTube today for the first time in years. Its unwatchable. The frog must have been slowly boiling for years to have so many people accept what Youtube is now. Just wow.
I managed to watch about 10 minutes but had about 5 ads during that time, taking up several minutes of my time. It broke my focus and I forgot what the video was about.
Back to Newpipe.
- Comment on Steam Survey for April 2025 results available, Linux sits at 2.27% 3 weeks ago:
Im happy we are small, so we dont get fucking game installers with sign in and ads.
- Comment on OpenAI rolls back ChatGPT’s sycophancy and explains what went wrong 3 weeks ago:
And its a computer program! It has as much value as getting “we are sorry to see you go” on a web page.
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong? 4 weeks ago:
I didnt know it was a new studio too. Thats a classic mistake.
- Comment on Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong? 4 weeks ago:
I wouldnt go that far. Skylines 2 has a new game engine. If it wouldnt have turned out to be incredibly slow, it would have been a very successful launch.
And I cant imagine anyone buying Skylines 2 if it used the same engine. Then it truly would have been no point. The new engine was supposed to make cities more beautiful and more realistic. They just didnt manage to make it fast.
- Comment on Anon is a senior citizen 4 weeks ago:
Im 50 soon.
I mean sure, I no longer have excitement for IT. Ive seen so many trends and ive seen us just spinning the wheels. We dont actually get anywhere. Things get more complex and it solves some problems and creates others.
When I was younger, I actually got excited about stuff in IT. So that has changed. But still, its possible to work and just have a ordinary job doing ordinary stuff. Dont need to get hired at Google. :)
- Comment on Yep 4 weeks ago:
Reddit has subs for that but people are really not fair. Pretty people post pics of themselves and say they look awful. Yeah right.
- Comment on Yep 4 weeks ago:
I think guys usually look better when they get older. More charisma, confidence. Not all but quite a lot.
And I think the attraction level of genders change. Women are super attractive when they are 20, but its hard for them to stay attractive when they are 40. For men its the other way around… They look better at 40 than 20, and age better.
Of course just my opinion.

I always skip all jobs where they say fast paced.
- Comment on Tempest Rising accidentally launched a week early on Steam, and the publisher has decided to just go with it 5 weeks ago:
Its pretty much exactly like command & conquer, but its modern, so fun to play.
