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 I have to admit I haven’t worked on perovskite since then, so my knowledge is surely very outdated.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

Apple “opinion” -> discarded.

Thanks, I hate it.
- Comment on If a sandwich is defined as any food item between two pieces of bread, then a layer cake is a type of sandwich. 6 days ago:
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.

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).

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

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.
