It is also important to note that the bible was curated (and probably even edited) by the Catholic Church in the past. So what you read is basically only what they wanted you to read to begin with. I would really like to get into the apocrypha at some point - especially into alternative descriptions to the biblical canon

- Comment on Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc? 1 week ago:
Praise where praise is due: They did pump out a ton of free updates. Does this compensate for the terrible state the game was released in? That’s something everyone needs to judge for themselves imo.
Does the game have what they once promised now? Is it “good” yet? I think that’s a more difficult question. If I was to criticise Hello Games for anything, than that even now they have not met some of the expectations they set. At least not for me personally.
And I’m not talking about bs speculation or hype, I am talking about things they have said would be in the game, some of which are still not here, and many of them feel like an alpha version of what you would expect. I can’t help but feel disappointed even today.

Isn’t the Switch 2 is cheaper in today’s money than the PS3 was without a decade of inflation?

I only watched S1 and the very start of S2, but I would say there is clearly a much worse one. If he just picked her the series would have been over immediately, another big plus.
- Comment on Europe has ‘lost the internet’, warns Belgium’s cyber security chief 3 weeks ago:
I really have to wonder where all this doomsaying is coming from. Best case, as you already mentioned, serving some self-interest, worst case someone else’s. There is so much conflation here - AI and internet, infrastructure and services, research and commercial development. And everything is downplayed to make the EU look bad.
The EU is right there at the forefront of AI research for example. Just because some megacorp can sell slop at a loss, this doesn’t mean we have ‘lost the race’ or anything, wth are they even talking about.
You see stuff like this constantly and it’s almost always corpo leeches trying to get state money, people sucking up to or being controlled by a superpower of choice or someone who has no idea what they are even talking about.
One final example: The German Telekom is the largest telco/internet provider by revenue in the fucking world, and competitive in the US. (Only by revenue tho.)

- Comment on Mozilla's new CEO says AI is coming to Firefox, but will remain a choice 1 month ago:
I use LLMs on a daily basis as a search engine replacement and, to a limited degree, for coding (e.g. comments, boilerplate). I am not against it coming to my browser in principle, but on the other hand, I can just visit Lumo, Duck AI or whatever else to have AI in my browser. So the Mozilla basically has to find an answer to the question of why I need more.

- Comment on AI finds errors in 90% of Wikipedia's best articles 1 month ago:
I appreciate that you have taken the time to verify and correct them. This is using AI exactly as it is meant to be used for once.
What you didn’t mention tho: Have you searched these articles for false nagatives? Did you get any false positives? Because the result sounds nice, but it doesn’t have to be.
If ChatGPT overlooks too many errors, it might improve quality, but at the same time give you a false sense of security/correctness.

- Comment on Will quantum be bigger than AI? 2 months ago:
Quantum computing sure is interesting, but everyone with the tiniest understanding of the matter should now that it’s use is limited.
It is really great for hardware acceleration of stochastic processes for example, which may or may not be AI, but there is a reason we mostly deal with integers in IT: It is much simpler and they are sufficient for a vast amount of use cases.
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 2 months ago:
You do realize that (some) subs on Reddit block new users as well?
- Comment on I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior. 2 months ago:
Banning a username doesn’t solve the problem tho - you can create new accounts anyway. And banning accounts with similar names as well creates all kinds of problems.
Maybe some kind of probation could help? For example, a user could be invisible for everyone but their home instance for some time. If they are then reported and banned, they never appear on another instance to begin with. Could do this for both comments and content.

You can totally manage a fleet of Linux devices. Next to all servers run Linux. How the hell would you do that without appropriate tooling? We use Ansible for example - Which certainly isn’t a perfect solution, but a working one.
- Comment on Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin 2 months ago:
You say that, yet Mac and Linux grew quite a bit over the past couple years. It’s true, not everyone will drop Windows right after whatever bullshit they announce. But software and platforms are rarely abandonned over night.
