  • Hey, wouldn't it be great if Signal still supported SMS?

  • You have a point. It felt different when I signed up but now all the most upvoted content here seems to be screenshots from Twitter, regurgitated memes and similar low-effort dopamine triggers. And when I left reddit it was mostly reposted TikTok reels anyway. Cognitive fast food that's easy to lose yourself in but unhealthy and unfulfilling as a habit. Lemmy doesn't really have many niche communities to outweigh the slop either. Consequently, I spend less time here as well. Which is probably a good thing.

  • One of the more optimistic estimates in this thread is that it would take us ~60 000 years to travel with existing technology.

    Of course, now that we have ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok we're obviously gonna reach light speed travel within the next 10 years, so it won't be a problem.

  • "Spotify managers defended PFC to staff by claiming that the tracks were being used only for background music, so listeners wouldn’t know the difference [...]"

    (PFC = "Perfect Fit Content", i. e. Fake Artists)

    I have a feeling this quote exemplifies the attitude the management of these platforms have towards their end users, though it's seldom this explicitly formulated.

  • Fraktur typefaces are today most often seen on evil record covers and in quaint Bavarian restaurants.

  • That's why it's the "foot" clan. The ninjas in Daredevil were called The Hand.

    Edit: and I just remembered, it's Master Splinter because "Stick" was Daredevil's sensei.

  • This seems like a good opportunity to tell the story of "Balloon man"

  • I don't buy this conspiracy theory at all, 1) twitter is disinformation heaven, which is very useful to authoritarian regimes and 2) Musky would never intentionally do anything to harm his public image, he's a textbook narcissist after all.

  • This one is easy. As we know from words like "photon" and "triumph", "pH" is actually pronounced "f".

  • This is my go-to as well. "I'm sorry, my audio dropped out, I didn't quite catch that".

  • We'd put tape over the holes, I remember recording Death Metal albums over my parents old exercise cassettes, for example.

  • When corporations dabble in philosophy, you know they're trying to muddy the waters and skirt an ethical issue. It's not a genuine inquiry going on here; it's a "whatever argument serves the bottom line" situation.

    I guess there's no such thing as intellectual property either, when you really think about it. Hence nothing wrong with me making and selling pirated samsung phones.
