- Comment on Patreon will have to use Apple's in-app purchase system or be removed from the App Store 2 months ago:
So wait, Apple effectively mandates that users of their store lie to their users? Wonder if that’s something that can be tackled legally.

I mean, you can even suicide on water (inb4 dihydrogen monoxide memes). This is just normal biology of a normal thing in the world.
Heck, forget water: you can even suicide on the ground below your feet. It’s just usually lots more work.

I’ll make my thesis about the methodology issues in that one!

Damn, I had my hopes on this one. Two misses in one month is a pretty bad record.

That can easily be fixed at the source: as the author of the paper, you can just license it to be open if you want.
- Comment on We need a larger one. Yes, for the last time. Pleeeeeeeeeease! 4 months ago:
Honest question: why is a larger collider even needed? Just make the particles run more loops around your track.

If successful it could
Wanna bet what capitalism is going to say about that?
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 6 months ago:
Disregarding the fallacy in your opening, and calling things for what they are:
If a conditional basic income started today with the stipulation that I had to put 40 hrs/week towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems,
I would spend them by becoming a politician and implementing true Universal Basic Income.
- Comment on If you're selected for jury duty (US), should you give up your anonymous social media accounts? 6 months ago:
Not an American, but if a lawyer / whatever during jury selection insist on trying to pry open one of your social accounts, couldn’t you stop them on their tracks simply citing the First Amendment (plus maybe the Fourth or whichever is “can’t be forced to give testoimony against yourself”)? Forcing someone to reveal information that might make them persecutable by the government on the grounds of the government may not like their speech sounds like literal application of the 1st here.
- Comment on IFTAS release a guide to help instance admins comply with the Digital Services Act 6 months ago:
I’ve seen nothing in the requirements that say that the designated person has to be reachable. If I had to set a fediverse instance of something, I’d just set the mailer inbox to
/dev/nullor smth to save storage. Or just subject the corpos to the same treatment they subject normal citizens,Dear sender.

- Comment on It’s a dark time to be a tech worker right now 8 months ago:
That’s why it pays well.
Care to back it up with numbers? Because it’s been like 4.6 Gy since I last saw a garbage disposal person or a plumber driving their SUV out of their 3-floor house.
- Comment on Spotify just changed TOS, giving them unprecedented rights to create "derivative works" from audiobooks 8 months ago:
Tell me you don’t understand the difference between human creative work and “”“AI”“” work without telling me you don’t understand the difference between human creative work and “”“AI”“” work
- Comment on Spotify just changed TOS, giving them unprecedented rights to create "derivative works" from audiobooks 8 months ago:
Are you kidding? #3 is the second most possible one of that set, it’s just a matter of setting up Reproducible / Deterministic Builds.
If you can’t replicate a result with control of the software version + the arts input + the randomness seed, then “something else is going on”.

And using it also strengthens the monopoly of Google over the web.

The Mozilla / Brave options are barely that.
You mean “The Mozilla option”. Brave is just Yet Another Chrome Reskin.
- Comment on Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED 8 months ago:
And that guy can’t possibly make correct decisions every time.
Doesn’t matter. What matters is that they make correct decisions oftener than before.
And the way to improve on it is clear: do more of that, with peer review.
Come on this is not news, this is how progress has worked in the last [checks smudgy writing] 4600 years.
- Comment on FLOSS communities right now 8 months ago:
Nani? Where have you been since 1983?
- Comment on Why It Was Almost Impossible to Make the Blue LED 8 months ago:
Capitalism never chooses the best path, but neither does any other system. We haven’t invented a perfect system, and it’s probably impossible. Sounds like a strange critique since we’ll never reach perfection
Just because nothing is perfect doesn’t mean we can’t call out stuff for not being it. Sounds like a strange critique since we’re supposed to improve on things.

You mean, when your games get around to supporting Linux, right? File the required issues with those manufacturers.
- Comment on Google Chrome Warning Issued For All Windows Users 9 months ago:
File the required issues with those manufacturers then. Support for Linux is trivially easy to add compared to Microsoft: the kernel sources and stuff to create your modules are right there.
- Comment on Palworld isn’t slowing down, hits 19 million players across Steam and Xbox 9 months ago:
Yeah I would like a better Pokemon game,
Don’t we all.
For long I’ve dreamed of the heights Pokémon could reach if the mainline videogame production was handed over from a small indie company to a respectable developer with a better track record such as Camelot or CDPR.
- Comment on Palworld isn’t slowing down, hits 19 million players across Steam and Xbox 9 months ago:
adventure
uuuuh since G5 the Pokémon plots are rehashed and banalised as heck, and there’s almost never any sensation of valuable risk or conflict to the plot. G6 literally makes the first arc of the plot “join this bunch of loser schoolers and do nothing”.
- Comment on Does Harry Potter only know fifth grade math? 9 months ago:
Sure but anyone can win any fight if they have position and prep time that the other party doesn’t: under the same logic Voldy can easily kill any sniper so long as he knows there’s one (and in a war, there is one). Reminder, at least in the movies he doesn’t actually need to aim for Crucio, and he can manually and literally laser crush a castle-wide energy barrier .
- Comment on queer.af, a Mastodon instance, has been killed by the Taliban 9 months ago:
Thats IMO one of the worst engineering decisions in the protocol, besides all the others, but this one (making identity depend on domains, meaning on third parties antithetical to decentralization) is… laughable. Who was responsible for it?
- Comment on queer.af, a Mastodon instance, has been killed by the Taliban 9 months ago:
Better to just setup your own ccTLD, for maximum trust.
(honestly only half joking)

Wow, they fixed 1 out of 1234567 possible issues, and is none of the actual web standards!
