- Comment on "My HOA Sent Me GORE PHOTOS After Complaining About the AirBnbs" [5:39] 1 week ago:
I interpreted that as the guy didn’t know what the reason was yet.
I initially thought the HOA was implying physical towards their residents with the images, but on second viewing it looks like the HOA board originally received those images in their inbox. (If you pause and zoom in you’ll see those images came from anonymous senders to the HOA.) Maybe the HOA is claiming one of the residents threatened the HOA board with those images?

- Comment on Why do Conservatives physically look evil? 1 week ago:
Conservatives will think the same about any public figure who’s any degree to the left. It’s just a human cognitive bias at play that we’re all susceptible to. If you think someone is a shitty person, that’s going to cause you to overemphasize whatever physical features you find negative about them. The danger of this is that you might in turn start using those negative features as an unreliable heuristic to judge the character of other people before you even get to really know them.
The different fashion/makeup trends among people across the political spectrum can also come into play similarly.
There are conventionally unattractive public figures on the left too, but if you know beforehand that they’re on your “team”, you probably won’t even take particular notice to these “defects”. In some mirror universe where MTG was as far left as AOC, you’d probably wouldn’t think she looked “evil”.

- Comment on Entirely too many questions about Mastodon. So sorry. 2 weeks ago:
Generally you post onto the public “federated” timeline. With Mastodon this timeline contains posts from many different Mastodon servers that are all federated with each other, but it appears as one single timeline.
Hashtags are really central to the Mastodon experience. There is no algorithm that automatically suggests posts and accounts like on mainstream centralized services. Instead you gotta purposely use hashtags to discover posts and people. Add descriptive hashtags to your posts, the more the better. This helps people searching for specific topics find your posts.
You can follow people and they can follow you. Posts from people you follow will appear on your home feed. You can also follow hashtags and posts containing those hashtags will appear in your home feed. At the moment there’s no official support for communities like with Lemmy; following hashtags on topics you like is the closest you can get to that functionality. (You can also make separate lists of hashtags outside of your home feed).
The people and interests on Mastodon has a lot of overlap with Lemmy.

I remember aged 5 watching my dad install Windows 95 from the floppy disk edition. I think that took like a dozen or so floppies?

- Comment on These Have Been Found All Across Ancient Rome (Nobody Knows Why) 5 weeks ago:
Are you interpreting it literally? It’s a figure of speech—a kind of hyperbole; it’s just a way of implying something was common, not that literally every person had one.
Whether it actually was common though, I don’t know. Joe here might be taking some liberties for the sake of a catchy thumbnail.

It’s really easy now to scan an entire book with your phone. There are apps (eg Scanner Pro) that can take pictures of two pages at once and split them into individual pdf pages.
I done this with several books over the years. I place my phone on a tripod, point it down on a well lit book, and start scanning. A 300 page book might take about an hour to scan.

It depends on your needs. The typography and image quality is much superior for print than ebooks usually. That being said, I still get ebooks for large reference books so I can search them and copy/paste, eg programming related books. I also read foreign language ebooks so I can lookup the meaning of any word I don’t know with my phone’s dictionaries, or translate a phrase or sentence.

- Comment on Favourite Metroid game? 4 months ago:
It’s really hard for me to name a single favorite Metroid; I love most of them. In terms of non-linear open exploration, Super Metroid is probably my favorite, followed by AM2R. But I also really enjoyed the boss fights in Metroid Dread; they were really challenging…for me at least.
