- Comment on A post-American, enshittification-resistant internet (39C3) 1 day ago:
This seems to be the crux of his argument in his latest book, enshittification. It takes a step beyond his common complaint (DMCA) and suggests other countries ignore their version of it to circumvent US Big Tech laws. I’m all for it, but it requires European governments to understand the situation and act. We’ll see.

Translation and screen reader have been a solved thing for a while, no “AI” browser necessary. I’m all for nice features, but bolting in a chat bot that phones home with activity data ain’t one of them.

It’s just really cheap sugar because the US government heavily subsidizes corn farming. So naturally you get a huge surplus of corn. So much that it’s a cheaper sweetener than sugar. So cheap that it’s added to our (already cheap and subsidized) gasoline. And yes, sugar is addictive.

I only read the first part of their comment before concocting my reply. I just assumed they thought hard honey was bad. I am ashamed.
- Comment on You've probably met someone who has killed a person 2 weeks ago:
I was told that once the plug is pulled, it’s not just some flatline and quiet sadness. The human body, regardless of its condition, does not like being deprived of oxygen and spends some time physically revolting before finally giving in. Apparently it’s horrific, but I haven’t witnessed it myself.

Is your house really cold, or has the honey crystallized? You can heat up the honey to re-liquefy it, look up how.

Great write-up. I’m so glad my college thermodynamics classes armed me with proper skepticism.
Assuming it’s cheap and reliable, exploiting geothermal resources for a local power solution would be useful in some places, I would think.
