I take my shitposts very seriously.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Team building events back when I was working in a factory. One day a year we had the option* to go to a crowded bar and have overpriced drinks with the same people we met every day. I would’ve preferred a regular shift on an assembly line.
* the other option was taking out a paid vacation day (non-American labour laws FTW)
- Comment on Exploring a Potential Universal Connector for Non-ActivityPub Platforms in the Fediverse 3 weeks ago:
You mean a service that translates between ActivityPub and another API? I’m pretty sure that’s just a bridge.
- Comment on the aliens monitoring our planet know that we are idiots 3 weeks ago:
Then we chose a completely arbitrary point that doesn’t line up with either the apsides or the solstices to represent “zero”.

It’s bonehealingjuice, but ODing on five different kinds of stimulants while CRANKING THE HOOOOOG
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The classic guillotine has been reinvented as a convenient nine millimeter package. Combined with the bespoke handheld applicator, it will leave any insurance CEO gasping for air!
- Comment on Funny how uniting this is somehow 1 month ago:
- The release of Pokémon GO
- The simultaneous release of DOOM Eternal and Animal Crossing
- The

are probably the closest we’ve ever come to world peace.
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 1 month ago:
“We might be able to banish the demon and save your son.”
“Really?”
“No, it’s just fun to get your hopes up. I’m gonna kill the kid.”Veilguard doesn’t let you be an absolute dick the way Origins did. The story (what little I’ve seen) is filtered and sanitized like it’s meant for six-year-olds. It also approaches sensitive topics, like the gender of one character, with the graceful and delicate touch of a fucking brick.
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 1 month ago:
Dragon Age Origins for the first time. I think I’m at the climax of the Redcliffe arc, and finally I understand why people call Veilguard “disneyfied”.
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 1 month ago:
I have 4700 hours on Warframe and feel more or less the same.

Weren’t they supposed to be in damage control mode after the broken Torii gate incident?

Don’t forget the dissolved remains of humans who fell into those pools!

I love the smell of redistributed ood in the morning.
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 1 month ago:
“Archiving legally purchased content as an insurance against corporate-sanctioned theft”?
- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 2 months ago:
Nice strawman, bro. I never said a damn thing about screen readers or translators, good or bad. And yes, I’ve read and filled out the entire survey. It doesn’t become a good survey just because it’s biased towards your personal views.
- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 2 months ago:
Nice assumption, dingus. I filled out the survey and sent it in before even writing that comment.
- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 2 months ago:
My question is, who asked?
I have many opinions about machine learning and its current position in technology, but expressed none of it in the comment. In case you missed it, the point I was trying to make is that this is a bullshit survey with obviously loaded questions and foregone conclusions.
- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 2 months ago:
“We’ve decided to focus our efforts on AI and advertising. Please tell us why you think that’s a good idea!”
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
If something is Nuclear enough it can generate heat
That’s an extreme oversimplification. RTGs don’t use nuclear waste. Spent reactor fuel still emits a large amount of gamma and neutron radiation, but not with enough intensity to be useful in a reactor. The amount of shielding required makes any kind of non-terrestrial application impossible.
The most common RTG fuel is ^238^Pu, which emits mostly alpha and beta particles, and can be used with minimal shielding. It can’t be produced by reprocessing spent reactor fuel. In 2024, only Russia is manufacturing it.
^90^Sr can be extracted from nuclear fuel, and was used by early Soviet RTGs, but only terrestrially because the gamma emission requires heavy shielding. Strontium is also a very reactive alkaline metal. It isn’t used as RTG fuel today.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
the waste it produces is highly problematic.
It’s a solved problem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aUODXeAM-k www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhHHbgIy9jU

It’s all fun and games until somebody mixes up pinus contorta with the ol’ dick twist.
- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 2 months ago:
We’re already past the “spreading awareness” stage. Now it’s time to do something about legally sanctioned robbery.
- Comment on Scientists Want to Teleport a Whole Human. A Quantum Breakthrough Could Make It Reality. 2 months ago:
You should read The Jaunt to acquire the completely healthy and rational fear of teleportation
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
Thanks, but that’s the same one that I found. It removes the power button from the start menu and disables the
shutdowncommand, but the computer still responds to ACPI and even the keyboard’s power-off button. - Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard releases today, and players are celebrating the famous ‘Bioware Turn’ 2 months ago:
If I see Captain Anderson’s “NEED to KNOW BAsis” knife-hand animation, I’m going to shit.
- Comment on This feels wrong. I love it. 2 months ago:
It makes sense if you represent complex numbers as
(a, b)pairs, whereais the real part andbis the imaginary part (just like the populara + birepresentation). AB’s length is(1, 0), AC’s length is(0, 1), and BC’s length will also be a complex number. - Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
There are use-cases where a computer should not be turned off by its user for the purpose of remote management. I’m dealing with one just as I’m writing this comment.
There’s an exam in a classroom. In 20 minutes I’ll have to run an ansible script to remove this group’s work, clean up the project directory, and rollback two VMs to the prepared snapshot to get ready for the next group. I’ve put a big-ass banner on the wallpaper telling the students not to shut down the computer, and already half of them are off.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
Mainly because our students are idiots and will complain if the computer doesn’t turn off. Or worse, hold the power button, or actually yank the power cable. Maybe I should just lean into it and convince them that the monitor is the computer.
Jokes aside, how could I implement such a policy? I’ve only found one that hides the power buttons from the start menu, but Windows still responds to ACPI.
