Ask Lemmy

Mine, at 75 downvotes, was:

You know, if you use Linux you don’t have to jump through hoops like this (trivial though they may be). Wouldn’t it be nice to not have an adversarial, abusive relationship with your OS?

This was on a thread about some workaround to remove ads in Windows.

It was still very net positive in terms of upvote/downvote ratio, so Microsoft simps can suck it, LOL.

I mistook a VLC update for enshittification. Can't remember what the update was about because I deleted the comment lol

My most downvoted comment is me trolling during the US elections. My comment says that I won't vote, without giving the context of being unable to vote due to not being an US citizen. But it would be obvious to those paying attention to my instance. https://feddit.org/comment/2935779

"This is the reaction to the other side's reaction. Now we push edgy again, and you guys get called 2018 dinosaurs."

It was basically a conversation about the culture wars and political correctness on Reddit. I think of things in cycles. The Reddit Human Resources crew thought they'd be in power forever because they're objectively "right."

Not the case.

"context is important"

I was trying to help an angry redditor understand the discussion they were raging about.

Without looking I’m pretty sure it was something about MLK’s dream speech where he mentions:

“…right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers…”

So, nothing massively contentious so far. The transcriber had capitalised the “B” of black but not the “W” of white. I suggested that seemed a very unequal way to address inequality. There was a mini downvote frenzy - eventually some diamond pointed out “AP” has a style guide that suggest capitalisation of one but not the other is correct. Seems weird, but there it is.

For context I asked if there was a way to disable "tips and tricks" (aka ads) in the lock screen in Windows without activating Windows. I was told to use NAS (Microsoft Activation Scripts, that can activate windows) in github but I replied with "without activating Windows"

I advocated for private schools in a casual conversations community, that's the one that has the highest ratio of down votes so that's all I know

"Or you can also play the game and buy the item ingame for 500RC, it's not that big of a deal."

About Dragon's dogma 2's character editor system.

They made it more lenient but I stand by what I said. I changed my characters aspect several times and I never put extra money. People were piiiiiiised about the extra one time purchase p2w stuff capcom put in the single player game, as if that was not their norm in most of their titles.

Good game, trash ending compared to the first one though.

BTW, my most controversial comment is also about DD2 LMAO:

" I'm going to be downvoted to hell, but I'm loving the game, and all the mtx and complaints about the easy to travel and such are from people that didn't play the original, honestly. This game is like the original but better, maintaining the spirit of the original.

Yes, you could buy revival stones in the original too.

The legit complains are the performance issues and crashes, but anything else... Idk what to tell you, they knew that the slow gameplay that is expected of the player would not be well received but wanted to conserve the original feel, so if you want to bypass the original feel go for it. I won't. "

I am not sure. A mod already deleted it and I don’t care enough to look it up. Probably some dumb shit I wrote while being on autopilot.

More just that Bethesda is the biggest maker of Triple A RPGs and they're finally updating the creation engine in a significant way. That said, to my knowledge, its still one of the more technically advanced RPGs (even if it doesn't do much with that tech) and could hopefully at least work as a proof of concept to more ambitious developers.

I made the mistake of going against the circlejerk and saying Starfield was relatively advanced tech by RPG standards. I was called toxic for even daring to suggest it was trying to innovate.

I don’t know how to find that on lemmy. I don’t know how to get my top comment either. None of the sorting functions seem to work.

There was a Reddit post of a WWII picture of a blown up US artillery piece where the round detonated in the chamber and killed the crew.

I replied something like "Looks like they got a taste of their own medicine".

While it still to this day gives me a chuckle, the reception was rather cold.

I posted a meme of Trump giving the viewer the double fingers with "Cry Harder" as a caption.
It was intended to be sarcastic, as in NOT Pro-Trump, and a cursory view of that account's posting history would support that view. The crowd went berserk and that account was banned from the Political Memes, News, and asklemmy.....

Don't know actually. mbin doesn't support sorting comments by... points?
