Oh, there was nothing wrong with the gist of what they said, it was the personal commentary at the beginning that was unneeded. If they had skipped that then their point would have been likely considered more thoughtfully by those reading.

…Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh… What have I done with my life?

No, ignorant takes like yours are the real problem.

Is this Reddit?! (Looks up at title bar in confusion.)

No…well, this is odd.

Zamboniman , 11 months ago to asklemmy in Why do each of my accounts have different subscription lists?

So far I have to create a new username/password on each instance and subscribe to all the things I want to on that new account.

Why are you needing to do that? You only need one account on one instance and you can subscribe to all the things you want on every instance (assuming that it hasn’t been defederated for some reason). That way you’ll only have one account with one list of subscribed communities instead of differing ones on different accounts.

Zamboniman , 11 months ago to asklemmy in Why are folks so anti-capitalist?

That’s an interesting perspective! Care to share some data?

Well, of course the data on what our actions (much of which are due to and based upon capitalism) are doing to are environment and climate, and inevitably must lead to given the implicit but incorrect assumption of infinite resources of that system, is everywhere and basically impossible to ignore these days, isn’t it? And, almost as easy to find is the data on other cultures killing themselves off (in the, at the time, limited scope of their part of the planet) due to their actions, such as Easter Island.

Zamboniman , 11 months ago to asklemmy in Why are folks so anti-capitalist?

Well I mean it’s unclear to me that we’re much worse than previous points in history.

That’s interesting, because to me it’s very clear. After all, small isolated pockets of people ruining their economy and the environment they depend on is quite a bit different from all of humanity everywhere doing this.

Zamboniman , 11 months ago to nostupidquestions in why is there a weird carpeted step in my closet?

It’s almost certainly hiding vents or pipes that needed to be routed there. As for the carpeting, somebody no doubt thought it would be cool, or else if for sound dampening.

Excellent OpSec, those Russians have!

Zamboniman , 1 year ago to technology in Technology Connections talks about a red fridge from Walmart for an hour

WTF, I ain’t watching an hour long video on a stupid fridge! I’ll just watch the first few minutes and see what’s up…

…

One hour later…

Okay, that was really interesting. I really love this channel.

Zamboniman , 1 year ago to technology in Online Commentator's take on the ongoing enshittification of the internet (Discord's next)

Yeah, for certain kinds of live conversations while involved in a group activity, it works fine. But only for that, in my opinion.

Zamboniman , 1 year ago to technology in Online Commentator's take on the ongoing enshittification of the internet (Discord's next)

Yup, I agree wholeheartedly! It’s just not my thing.

Zamboniman , 1 year ago to technology in Online Commentator's take on the ongoing enshittification of the internet (Discord's next)

I was a wee bit surprised (but not really, I guess) when just before the Reddit blackout everyone on Reddit was spamming their relevant Discord links for the relevant subreddit.

I could only think, “That’s no better!!”

We’ll see if that changes.

To add to that, Discord is an entirely different kind of interaction. Fine if that’s what you want, but not fine if you want something a bit more…static.

Zamboniman , 1 year ago to technology in Redditors, how do you like Lemmy?

The auto-refreshing front page is very frustrating to use.

Sounds like that’s being fixed soon.

Ugh… That marketing language makes me cringe hard.
