monz, to reddit in Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?
@monz@pawb.social avatar

Yep. Since 2011. Fucking bye.

Just use Postman.

monz, to mildlyinteresting in Ancient Iran had air conditioning

The person that replied to you is probably being scientific-literal and obnoxious. I understood what you meant just fine. :}

What do you mean modern AC can only cool by 20F?

I’m in Florida and it’s routinely 95-98F outside. My AC is set to 65F.

Did you mean 20C? Either way, that’s also false. AC units are limited to their rating and BTU. Many may not cool below 60F, but there’s no delta limit.

monz, to nostupidquestions in Why is there such a large amount of communist and transgender related posts on the Fediverse compared to other platforms?
@monz@pawb.social avatar

One could look at the concept of the fediverse and relate it to the ideals of segregating higher powers (big businesses) and giving power to the working class (pay for labor). IE: the concept of dividing up Lemmy as a service into multiple-owned servers instead of a single monolith like Reddit. This tends to align with the ideology of Leftism (to be clear, the progressive class of beliefs, for anyone non-American) tend to be more inviting and inclusive to people. This makes for a good platform for trans people to feel welcomed.

This is not a factual answer, and I do not believe anyone here holds the authority to state a fact. It is only my personal observation.

monz, to pcgaming in Your Ubisoft account can be suspended and subsequently permanently deleted for 'inactivity,' taking your games library with it
@monz@pawb.social avatar

This is illegal in France, btw. Ubisoft is a French company. :}

monz, to europe in Norway Bans Meta From Showing Users Personalized Ads
@monz@pawb.social avatar

I get your sentiment, but having personalized ads is just an incentive for a lack of user privacy. If we kill the incentive, we can embrace security.

monz, to 196 in waterule
@monz@pawb.social avatar

Water can go bad. That’s why stuff goes bad in general, usually due to containing water. This is also why freeze dried foods can last forever.

Stagnant water. You have roughly 12 hours.

monz, to worldnews in The WHO is about to declare aspartame can cause cancer
@monz@pawb.social avatar

To be clear, saying this can cause cancer is similar to saying that water will be classified as toxic.

Cancer is a genetic/cellular lottery we play every day. Consuming certain substances can change those odds. We’re talking 1 in a Trillion (a number I pulled out of my ass, to be clear), and perhaps consuming aspartame changes that to 100 in a Trillion. 100x more likely to get cancer? Not really.

Just like how water is classified as toxic if you drink too much (cellular over-hydration) consuming too much aspartame can cause cancer.

Though I suppose it remains to be seen. I’m making broad assumptions and I’ll wait for the professionals and studies and scientific journals to tell me what’s what.

monz, to adhd in Is this place actually going to allow people to post?
@monz@pawb.social avatar

Something I want to make an example of with this comment:

The previous person states their frustration of the subreddit. What value does your comment bring to their situation? Does it help address the problem?

When I post about an issue online and someone says “no problem here,” that doesn’t help solve the problem.

monz, to android in Why do you personally prefer using an Android phone?
@monz@pawb.social avatar

If you use any app other than what Apple provides, you become a second class citizen on your own phone.

Third party apps simply don’t integrate with iOS nicely unless Apple allows it. Even though you can choose a web browser, it has to use Safari’s underlying code base.

I’m on a Pixel 7. A lot of people say it’s like Google’s iPhone, but I can use Firefox as my browser natively. Adblocking actually works, too. I can choose any app as a default for whatever. Lots of FOSS! Google doesn’t own my Pixel the same way Apple owns the iPhone.
