- Comment on YSK: Denazification in West Germany was lenient and ultimately abandoned, with many Nazis remaining in positions of power. 12 hours ago:
Yeah, and honestly it worked better than purges have historically.
Debathification is an extreme and when it and similar practices have been attempted after the destruction of a government, it’s the populace that suffers most.
- Comment on Hermetically sealed, for your health! 2 days ago:
LD50 is 5,800 mg/kg
I’m kind of surprised it’s that high.
- Comment on A Coalition of 30 Major Publishers (including Penguin Random House, Elsevier, and HarperCollins) Sue Anna's Archive Over 'Staggering' Copyright Infringement, Seek Injunction 1 week ago:
They are? The suits from major publishers were all over the news when they were started in early 2025.
- Comment on Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices? 1 week ago:
Oh, good call out. I’m also running OPNsense which is a BSD system.
- Comment on Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices? 1 week ago:
Whoa, that’s completely untrue buddy.
Some people here use BSD-based systems.
- Comment on Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices? 1 week ago:
I actually agree, I just broke it out for this discussion.
- Comment on Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices? 1 week ago:
Arch on user PCs and Debian on anything else. This is with the exception that our big server is on Proxmox and the NAS (as well as off-site backup) are on unRaid.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 2 weeks ago:
It was from a low-level spokesperson’s statement at a press junket that the (then-current) internal versioning system was being abandoned.
It’s absolutely a mischaracterization.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 2 weeks ago:
No, because that was a shitty headline that mischaracterized an employee’s one-off statement and was then held up as gospel truth by the internet.
- Comment on Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst 3 weeks ago:
Down by the lake you would.
- Comment on Guinness wasn't proud of this one. 4 weeks ago:
Nope. The LD50 of caffeine is between 150 and 200 mg/kg of body weight. And that’s only going to kill half the prior who take it. LD50 is also for instantaneous intake, consumption over time drastically increases it.
- Comment on In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud 4 weeks ago:
This is a really old test. There are forum posts of the same concept and some news articles with the test that are so old that they 404 now. An unshielded coat hanger is the most common. And yes, this is done frequently with analog signals. No, you can’t tell the difference.
- Comment on GitHub - spacebarchat/spacebarchat: 📬 Spacebar is a free open source selfhostable discord compatible communication platform 5 weeks ago:
Well, Stoat sucks and has no vision or history of reasonably paced development. So, it’s more of a vaporware wish then actual software.

lol
What a poor thing, mind so small and forced to live an world so big and chaotic.
- Comment on How the regime in Iran jams Starlink and what people could do 1 month ago:
It would be really interesting to see what the world would actually look like if the CIA was anywhere near as competent as tankies think it is, instead of one of the most inept and ineffective agencies in the history of intelligence gathering and espionage.
- Comment on How the regime in Iran jams Starlink and what people could do 1 month ago:
Truly unhinged behavior
- Comment on How the regime in Iran jams Starlink and what people could do 1 month ago:
Article by a German outlet about violent repression in Tehran, and you crawl out to squeal about the US?
- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 2 months ago:
Well it seems like you think only someone with your interests is. However, by any objective measure more people play FPS competitive games than any variety except sports games.
- Comment on Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet 2 months ago:
That’s obviously not true
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 2 months ago:
It’s a bit more complex than that. The straight forks are fine for now, but the real concern would be if Gecko gets changed significantly.
- Comment on It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser" 2 months ago:
Floorp is good
- Comment on LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash 2 months ago:
The panels all come from two producers (really just one for the very good ones). So, pick whoever you can get the best deal on for your needed featureset and never connect it to the internet.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 3 months ago:
That’s more what a consultant is. A “Fractional C[insert function here]O is permanent or at least long-term. It just means the firm doesn’t have the resources and need for a full-time executive in that role. I’ve worked with fractional CTO, CIO, CFO, and CMO executives at different companies and they’ve all been required to have the company, industry, market, etc. knowledge that a non-fractional employee would. Honestly, this concept has been wonderful for small to midsize companies.

- Comment on Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing 3 months ago:
They’d have to exclude sanctioned VPN traffic, or the entire financial system doesn’t work at all.

Almost all retailers inventory on consignment. So, no.

Dude read the Culture series, took all the wrong lessons from it and is speedrunning that horrible vision for a sorcery in his own mind.

- Comment on Hundreds of public figures, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Virgin’s Richard Branson urge AI ‘superintelligence’ ban 4 months ago:
We’re a few major breakthroughs away
We are dozens of world-changing breakthroughs in the understanding of consciousness, sapience, sentience, and even more in computer and electrical engineering away from being able to even understand what the final product of an AGI development program would look like.
We are not anywhere near close to AGI.
- Comment on Hundreds of public figures, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Virgin’s Richard Branson urge AI ‘superintelligence’ ban 4 months ago:
Yup, AGI is terrifying; luckily it’s a few centuries off. The parlor-trick text predictor we have now is just bad for the environment and the economy.
