- Comment on Grr Windows 3 weeks ago:
To turn away from the “go hard onto Linux,” tropes, try Windows Update Blocker (WUB). I’ve been using it to pick when my machine, as well as friends and families machines, update. Every month or so, you need to turn updates back on by using it and updating the OS, but it can be scripted to enable/disable updates at any time, if you don’t feel like thinking about it. It not only blocks if but protects from reenabling updates by that fucking medic service that will try to turn it back on when the machine is idle.
- Comment on Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images) 4 weeks ago:
Thank you for running a great instance. No notes. Except it would be nice if you could set the limit on how long a proxies image remains available. It would be nice if there was a time limit that could be shortened based on time. Or a combination of the first and second option.
- Comment on What's the term for someone that likes Jesus of Nazareth, but doesn't identify with church, religious dogma, or whatever? 5 weeks ago:
Isn’t this just the Golden Rule? I’ve tried to live like this everyday for 20 years, but it can be difficult in this day and age. Most people don’t think like that. It’s easy to hold the door for people or say thank you, but it’s hard when you don’t receive the same courtesy. Jokes on them, though, cause they’ll burn in hell!

Enough to make me never want to even attempt such a thing, myself! But I did know if the helium ratio stuff because of it, so it’s still educational content.

I’ve seen enough of YouTuber, Scary Interesting, to believe that either word would work!
- Comment on Why is there so much hype around artificial intelligence? 2 months ago:
It amazed people when it first launched and capitalists took that to mean replace all their jobs with AI. Where we wanted AI to make shit jobs easier, they used it to replace whole swaths of talent across the industry’s. Recent movies read like they were written almost entirely by AI. Like when Cartman was a robot and kept giving out terrible movie ideas.

On a plus side, maybe, if you choose to delete your comments and posts again, albeit slowly, would be to copy/paste the really useful shit to Lemmy. I say this because on unintended (or not) consequence of these actions is that posts from years ago, explaining the solution to a problem that still pops up now and then, doesn’t have the solution most of the time.
I don’t disagree with the sentiment or actions at all, just sucks when you find someone having the same issue you are, only to learn it’s on reddit and the solution to said problem was deleted.
- Comment on I just got out of the shower. what is with the product placement ? 3 months ago:
Haha the only thing they had to change between 2016 and now is replacing Pence with Vance and adding an exclamation point to the slogan.
…Holy shit… Is that why they picked Vance for VP? So they could save money on signs and shirts?

- Comment on If you could change the ending of one movie, which one would it be, and how would you change it? 3 months ago:
Got it. Thanks for the reply. Ya know, thinking back, I have to agree. Of the three newest films, it was the most enjoyable. But oh man, I almost walked out of the theater when they were having to arch laser shots in space like there was air resistance or something. On par with the snake in Harry Potter that winked. Snakes don’t have eyelids!
- Comment on If you could change the ending of one movie, which one would it be, and how would you change it? 3 months ago:
How was the first one alright? Not attacking, just curious.
To me, it came off as just a more infantile version of A New Hope.
Example 1: Darth Vader gets pissed and dudes get choked to death, even through video chat. Kylo gets pissed off and makes life hell for some IT guy by trashing his computer.
Example 2: Why build a moon-sized space station that blows up one planet, when you can make a planet-sized space station that can blow up 7?
I mean, I get the appeal of the explosions and effects and stuff, but in terms of story, it was just the same, but with none of the payoff of the original story. They even tried to steal the big reveal of the relationship between Vader and Luke by revealing the relationship between Kylo and Leia and Han.

- Comment on The theory that we live in a simulation involves simulants running their own simulations; wouldn't that require impossibly more resources for the main sim? 4 months ago:
Why do you think everything sucks right now? The simulations ran out of resources long ago so no new ideas are created, just rehashing of already established ones. It’s why we have AI, but it can’t generate anything new or useful. It’s why we’re about to have a restart of World War 2 and The Cold War. It’s why movies that come out already are getting remade, but slightly worse than the original story.
People like to think that’s because capitalism only caters to the safe bets. But we know better! It’s really just the old Apple 2e that’s running the simulation(s) is low on resources!!
Now, where did I leave all that red string, pictures of Bigfoot and the Loc Ness monster, and thumbtacks?

In the cat and mouse game, the cat can adjust tactics but the mice eventually figure out an alternative route. I’m sure they will find a way with this. Either that or a lot of people will just stop watching YouTube, I’d imagine.

I’d imagine YouTube subtracts the ad length from posted timestamps when clicking a link containing one. But we are taking about Google, soooooo…

It even did the same thing with enterprise customers. All our machines suddenly started asking us to enable search. Like why do I need another thing when opening the Start Menu and typing is the same fucking thing?? And to fuck with my group policies and undo the customization I had is mega infuriating.

- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
And someone who’s part of a cult, or a significant other who is abused, will try to recruit people to their cause or downplay the violence or dig in deeper with their abusers.
Don’t get me wrong, those who perpetuate the hate on the conservative side are rat bastards who have no place in society. However, those on the consumption end have been programmed to think this way. Deprogramming takes a lot of time and requires the cult member to want to learn more and get out. However, forcefully removing a cult member will usually just push them back to the cult harder.
Either these Republican rubes die or start investing other sources of info, we have a long fight ahead of us, and that’s only if we can cut off the head of the snake and stop the cult at the top.
