What the fuck are all these comments?

It's an article about an unresolved and recurring problem with a popular drive that the ostensibly reputable manufacturer is trying to hide.

But 90% of the comments are people jerking themselves off about how smart they are for using RAID, which is irrelevant to the point of the article... But never miss an opportunity to pleasure yourself in public I guess?

True and a, great example of an unnecessary comma.

I know a girl who thinks of ghosts. She'll make you breakfast; she'll make you toast. But she don't use butter. And she don't use cheese. She don't use jelly, or any of these.

She uses Vaseline.

Vaseline.

Vaseline.

God willing, Google can have six new apps out this year that each do a piece of what they had accomplished circa 2014.

Agreed!

... But also, does every community need to just be righteously indignant screenshots of tweets? Like... Can't a community called USA be something.. else?

...Is there no way to keep access to NSFW communities but not have straight up porn constantly coming into my feed? Because I am rarely at risk for needing to hide away from NSFW content, but on the other hand I have no interest in the content of 100 different niche porn communities randomly flowing into my feed.

Well somebody installed it, of course, but the place is currently the storefront of a noodle shop that used to be a food cart. My guess is it wasn't them, but it feels like the ratio of probable cost to value is way out of wack for any restaurant unless this somehow fit into an aesthetic somehow.

Edit: It used to be called "Industrial Cafe and Saloon", and had an industrial/metal theme. Which does, indeed, explain this.

This is funny, and really speaks to a fundamental issue we have during education as to assigning agency for what amount to"random" events.

OP is presumably educated and intelligent, and the takeaway they had was that bees "are pollinators" which is true with regard to our interest in them, but definitely implies agency that they are intentionally pollinating, which (I am pretty sure) isn't true.

It feels like the same question that gets asked in a million different ways of "why did XYZ evolve that way when ABCD?" (Because evolution is random and tends toward selecting for energy conservation. Not to "achieve" some specific goal.)

I always go .gay myself.

I was only a skeptic because the UI of Lemmy is hot garbage when you first get here, and they are crippled by the fundamental point of the infrastructure: That there's no single "correct" place to go. Lemmy the software can't really endorse a single instance.

But it seems like lemmy.world is that one. They should honestly just self promote as if they "are" Lemmy, and let people figure out the rest after they're here.

For me, I just really wanted to stop using Reddit and forced myself to figure it out. It hasn't been an awesome experience, but it feels like the right thing to do. Getting Liftoff on my android phone has helped. I'm still skeptical. And would happily ditch Lemmy if something better came along.

Good point. You changed my opinion about your earlier comment.

What's so sad is that those corporations are just pumping out waste and pollution for the fun of it, and not because they are providing goods and services that are very important for us to continue living the way we are comfortable living.

...

What's more concerning is when a society is populated by people who have take the most facile understanding of a position, and then go about confidently as if they understand it. Like, say, if a news article has a rage porn headline and then people don't read it to understand what actually was going on but make comments on websites as if there was no nuance to the subject whatsoever. ... Very concerning.

"Bing Mi Dumpling and Noodle Bar" in Northwest Portland, Oregon. Food was pretty good too fwiw.

You should not.

Multiple Lemmy instances exist so that a single entity cannot control everything that happens across the federated Lemmyverse. Each instance can make its own rules.

As it stands there are more than enough instances, I believe with differing policies and rules. As such, you should not start a Lemmy instance.

Right; appreciate that, but that's not actually what I want. What I want is to be able to browse All and have any content come up as long as it isn't something that is literally just porn. Like: a meme caption that features a person scantily clad on a beach is fine. A video of a crazy lady screaming and taking her top off? Hilarious. A post that is just "Jessica Smith loves sucking cock" in a "!cumguzzlers" community? Ideally somehow excluded from my list.

It was not a problem in reddit simply because those posts were just not upvoted enough to appear in the All feeds unless you browsed by "New", but here nothing is upvoted enough to block.

I guess I'll just block the communities as they come up.

I've noticed this too, and I imagine it must be a side effect of Lemmy's largest value prop having an outsized appeal to autistic people.

If this comment isn't the perfect distillation of the frustration people have with GIMP, I don't know what is.

OP makes a very even-handed, consciencious treatise to gather more info about alternatives to GIMP based on the UX issues they themselves have been struggling with and which are commonly recognized throughout the community, with at least one example, while acknowledging how incredible and powerful an undertaking a piece of software GIMP definitely is, and...

... The same cookie cutter response on every single GIMP discussion since 1998: "IT IS VERY POWERFUL. WHAT FEATURE IS IT MISSING?"

Similar to GIMP itself: You're not wrong you're just... Not being anywhere near as helpful as you could be.
