  A lot of hive mind, too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨time to switch to DeltaChat 😁⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The point is… (almost) nobody is going to do that. Ask a layman what a SMTP is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨time to switch to DeltaChat 😁⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Talking to myself is sooooo satisfying…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perovskite-based image sensors promise higher sensitivity and resolution than silicon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I have to admit I haven’t worked on perovskite since then, so my knowledge is surely very outdated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perovskite-based image sensors promise higher sensitivity and resolution than silicon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but I’m talking about chemical instability which happens nonetheless, independently on the light you shine on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perovskite-based image sensors promise higher sensitivity and resolution than silicon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No idea. IIRC the problem comes from chemical instability i.e., even when properly encapsulated, the methylammonium just evaporates/decompose and you’re left with a nice lead iodide layer. Can’t say if it’s better now. It’s been quite a feew years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perovskite-based image sensors promise higher sensitivity and resolution than silicon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylammonium_lead_halide

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perovskite-based image sensors promise higher sensitivity and resolution than silicon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been working on hybrid perovskite for solar cells, during my PhD, a few years ago. The problem with theses materials was their short lifetime (some thousands of ours of sun exposition), which made them unsuitable for “real life” uses, back then (but suitable to get high impact-factor papers…). Is that still a problem?

  I choose the highway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple to Australians: You’re Too Stupid to Choose Your Own Apps⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Apple “opinion” -> discarded.

  Thanks, I hate it.

  Yes, but which sand?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Being a moderator does not make your opinion better than anybody else's.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe I need a bit more coffee, but I read this as “Although I think I’m feeling like this, I don’t like it, as it makes me feel a bit racist”.

  I meant that literally every other company is after the money, not only Google or big ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Bastards… I spend a lot of time carefully crafting them :-P

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m perfectly able to be negative about them and their competition at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know what kind of software that particular machine runs, but for server and backup Linux appears to be the go to tool. I’m not saying that you have to migrate everything to Linux. I just say that for servers and the like the transition is probably easier than for desktop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will help advertisers turn ‘positive’ posts into ads⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Joke’s on them. I just post and comment negative rants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s Advanced Protection Arrives on Android: Should You Use It?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As every other company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just came to hate sunlight because it’s usually full of other people nearby. So, if I’m depression, other people are to blame.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is wild to know that "prophetic dreams" have been documented and verified, and even more wild that it isn't really that astonishing when one thinks about it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You call those “prophetic dreams”. I call those “coincidences”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why so much hate toward AI?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Karma farming, as everything on any social network, be it centralized or decentralized. I’m not exactly enthusiastic about AI, but I can tell it has its use case (with caution).

  Thanks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got a free HP DL380 G5, so I blogged about it !⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s something I didn’t expect. Thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got a free HP DL380 G5, so I blogged about it !⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just out if curiosity, would this server be capable to handle some consistent workload, for today’s standards?

  Glad you enjoyed it. No need to thank me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A World Without iPhones?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My world would be exactly the same. Never used one, never wanted to use one and never wanted one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Although modern horoscopes typically consist of life advice, it's almost certainly terrible advice because it was written by someone who failed at legitimate or useful employment.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of gifted and smart people fail at getting a “legitimate or useful” employment (define it, please). As see it everyday in academia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Feet are as expressive as the face. Moreso because they are uncorrupted by intelligence.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of people I meet everyday have uncorrupted faces as well.
