- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 week ago:
As a finical instrument for investing it’s fine. Makes total sense to have some of your money in gold.
As you describe, being a part of a prepping plan for the end of the world. It’s really dumb, and a total scam. - Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 1 week ago:
Install has gone fine.
Having trouble getting OpenRGB working. Might just have to turn off lights in BIOS for now.And I’m also a hobby photog. Lightroom and Photoshop. I’ve tried Darktable and GIMP on Windows before. As much as I complain about Adobe, they’re still miles ahead of the OSS alternatives.
- Comment on Why isint lemmy more popular? 1 week ago:
Thank you. My only real concern point now is running Adobe stuff in a VM. Other than that I think I’m good to go.

I’m into Star Trek, and all set to switch to Linux this weekend!
- Comment on How much money's out there? 1 week ago:
And it’s always 42. No matter what, or when, or how.
Perhaps some day, if someone understands the galactic economy well enough to explain why it’s always 42 money, we’ll be able to stop fighting and arguing with each other long enough to come together united for once. And share the beating of that smart ass who thinks they know everything.
- Comment on Why are so many after-shave lotion perfumed ? 2 weeks ago:
I imagine it’s about trying to minimize the alcohol smell.
But I don’t realy know. - Comment on Which countries combine high quality of life and strong equality? 2 weeks ago:
Do you have sources you can cite?
In English if possible. Though I’ll understand if not, and make due with what you have. - Comment on I was diagnosed with early onset dementia and alzhimers. Is there safe guards I can put it up so I don't screw or kill anyone? Like who do I contact about being denied to own a gun? 2 weeks ago:
I think you have missed what they were really asking.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 2 weeks ago:
When I asked someone, they basically used them like bookmarks.
- Comment on Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) 2 weeks ago:
Your conflating a fork, with using an engine in your own browser. Nobody is forking Gecko, Blink, or WebKit. LibreWolf is a modified Firefox, not a fork. The LibreWolf team takes every update to Firefox, removes a few features, ads a few more, and releases their version. Same with Brave. Neither is maintaining their own separate fork. They just take the latest from Mozilla or Google and incorporate their code into it.
Maybe someone could fork one of them. Though they wouldn’t be getting any assistance with feature or security updates from the original branch anymore. They’d be totally on their own with what could quickly be an old code base. Which is why nobody does that.
But back to the important part. What do I need to be saved from?
- Comment on Thank Mozilla for Killing Localization on Support Mozilla (And Replacing Human Contributions With AI Bots) 2 weeks ago:
You’re thinking short term.

I can’t wait for Servo
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 3 weeks ago:
Taller is more expensive. That’s all.
If you have the space to go wider, that’s what everyone does. - Comment on How do you objectively tell if a parents "I love you" is actually sincere, if they actually care about you? Or if the words are lies and they don't actually care? 3 weeks ago:
Yah. But you realize that someone could simply lie to you right?
- Comment on Why does American media (and to an extent the American public) seem to only focus on one issue at a time? 3 weeks ago:
Thata what focus means.
If you’re spliting your focus onto several things, you’re not actually focusing anymore. - Comment on why are fitness weights filled with sand? 3 weeks ago:
Cheaper. More flexable.
- Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 3 weeks ago:
We’re not just looking at individual “donations” to single politicians. But hundreds of them, to all the politicians. And even more to create a massive “People’s PAC” that gets continuous reliable funding for donations, adds, fake studies and all the other crap we have to fight.
- Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 3 weeks ago:
They go to the highest bidder.
And the wealthy have enough now to outbid whatever we come up with. - Comment on Why civilians don't crowdfund bribe money for politicians? 3 weeks ago:
Even large groups of people can’t put together enough money.
It also costs a lot of money to organise that kind of thing. - Comment on Noob RAM speed question 4 weeks ago:
It’s all a question of do you run out of memory often?
If you were going from 16 to 32GB, I’d say no. Because you probably don’t max out the 16GB every day. Maybe you do. There are ways that could happen.
But with only 8GB, you’re likely hitting that limit often. So yes I’d go to a slower 16GB in a heartbeat.
- Comment on How do you respond to unwanted advice? 4 weeks ago:
Option A: Try it.
Option B: Ask for details about why it’s better. Option C: Ignore them. Option D: Destroy the thing or person they love most in this world, and coldly smile at their lamentation. - Comment on Do you have a flagship phone or a car that's 2021/newer but are struggling financially? 4 weeks ago:
Nope
- Comment on How do I tell my Korean male childhood friend that he looks like a really cute anime girl and that I'd die for him and that I want to cuddle with him and treat him like a princess (no homo)? 4 weeks ago:
That’s literally the point if it’s existence.

Maybe you should start “No! Stupid Question”
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 5 weeks ago:
Yes It’s just “Owned” with a “P” at the beginning. P-Owned.
Just like you pronounce “Boned”. - Comment on why are upper middle class or upper class people hated? (if they are) 5 weeks ago:
Uppen middle? No not at all.
Upper? Maybe a little. Mostly misplaced.
The upper of the upper of the upper? Yes absolutely! Because they use their billions to by politics and rig the world so they get more at everyone else’s expense.
- Comment on what if Jeffrey Epsteins mansion would've blown up? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think they were all there at the same time.
