- Comment on Team Fortress 2 players report that Valve have carried out a ban-wave against aimbots 3 days ago:
I mean, it’s Valve. But it will be funny when #saveTF2 happens for the third time next year, and Valve does their now-yearly ban wave again and everyone repeats wondering if the problem is solved.

It’s way cuter if he’s kicking his stubby ol legs
- Comment on The SaveTF2 campaign to get Valve to beat the Team Fortress 2 bots has begun 4 weeks ago:
Has begun? Didn’t it happen like a year or two ago, resulting in Valve tweeting about solutions coming “soon” and then predictably doing nothing?
- Comment on Is cloudflare breaking the internet or fixing it? 4 weeks ago:
I’m no expert either but as I understand it, the core service they are most well known for is protection against DDOS attacks. By routing traffic first to Cloudflare before sending it to the intended destination, it can try to check to make sure that whatever it’s routing isn’t coming from a botnet or whatever.

It is happening now but evolution takes a long time. If there were a ton of adaptations that happened in the next 10,000 years, that would be incredibly fast on an evolutionary timescale

“Ruined” seems like a strong word but the yolk wasn’t supposed to break

It’s reasonable to be afraid that someone who stole JUST your socks might be stalking you or something
- Comment on Anon buys an air fryer 2 months ago:
They’re not the one with reading comprehension problems. OP said the air fryer removes that moist air more quickly, which would dry it out faster.
- Comment on Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you? 3 months ago:
No, that is exactly the over-broad, willy-nilly, tossed-around definition they were talking about. Gaslighting has a much more insidious context than simply making someone question themselves. It means doing it on purpose; intentionally lying to someone and trying to convince them that they’re crazy. Like if I said I was going to the grocery and then when I came back with nothing, I insisted I never said that. Or if i borrowed $50 and when it came time to pay you back, I try to tell you I only borrowed $25. It’s inherently deceptive and cruel.

Yeah I read the comment about it being a designer’s funeral, this is clearly something they requested
- Comment on High fashion 5 months ago:
I don’t understand why this is a shitpost. Watched the whole thing waiting for something to happen.
Y’all just now learning that high fashion is unconventional? It’s not my bag either but at the end of the day this is pretty mundane. There’s way weirder stuff at fashion shows

- Comment on Voyagers writers and Memory Alpha don't know when Voyagers final 3 episodes are set. 6 months ago:
Trek tends to fudge the dates on purpose. It’s supposed to take place In The Future, and you’re supposed to be thinking about whatever philosophical concept the episode is about, not the exact timeline of events. From Wikipedia: “stardates were originally intended to avoid specifying exactly when Star Trek takes place.” I hate linking to Fandom wiki pages, but I’ll say the page on stardates goes on at length about how inconsistent Trek time is.
Jumping around within a single episode is a little funny, but doesn’t surprise me. Some writers try to be consistent, but maybe only for a few connected episodes, and some don’t try at all. Sometimes a character will die, but an earlier episode or a flashback with a clearly later stardate will see them alive. There’s all kinds of technobabble about where they are in the universe, and light speed relativity, and so on, but at the end of the day the show isn’t trying to hide any serious messages in its timeline so long as the story of the episode makes some level of sense.

I had a local paper do this to me a few years ago. Turns out I can ask my credit card provider to block payments to them at 2am on a Saturday and I still get access to the paper for another two months.
- Comment on Open for discussion 8 months ago:
I have an account on lemm.ee that I use occasionally. In my experience the instance’s owner is extremely responsive. You should try making a post on the support community first, and then if that fails, messaging him directly.
- Comment on Open for discussion 8 months ago:
No, I’m browsing all. I don’t even have any subscriptions on this account.
- Comment on Open for discussion 8 months ago:
Honestly not sure about the exact server, but I know from (actually) avoiding clicking on them that they’re usually posted to “The Yiff Community.”
- Comment on Open for discussion 8 months ago:
It’s not that bad. One of the major advantages of Lemmy being smaller than Reddit. Once you block the reddit repost bots (there are like 3 and my current instance is straight up not even federated with the instances they’re on anyway) it’s fairly useful to just see articles; helps avoid the trap of only reading comments about articles instead.
I just checked, and my first page right now is several self post questions, one vanilla porn post, an image about the Boost app, and eight news articles. I’d call that pretty standard.

You clearly haven’t been looking very hard. I see it almost every day just sorting by new.

- Comment on Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Store to close in July 2024 10 months ago:
Xbox emulation looks underdeveloped compared to PlayStation and Wii, but from what I can tell Xenia has come a long way in the last couple of years. If you’re willing to give it a go, you could try ripping the games off your discs and just play on PC
