Not cool posting this. He’s obviously having a bad fur day.

Well they didn’t get any Western students protesting the genocide there, so it doesn’t surprise me.

Nice to see Ukraine won

- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 2 days ago:
Nuclear weapons require very precise detonators to explode, unlike conventional exposives which generally require only heat (and can blow up in the way you describe).
It’s unclear, but most international experts agree that Iran has not yet actually put the nuclear material into any detonators. The problem is that Iran has been refining and stockpiling nuclear payloads, which could fairly easily be put into a bomb. That’s what most of the world wants to prevent.

Anyone still on Twitter is fine hanging out in a Nazi bar.

I think there is a pretty popular all-woman cover band called Hell’s Belles but I’m too lazy to look it up.

- Comment on Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed up 6 days ago:
You seem to be really stuck on this. You posted about a grant program that Mozilla is involved in for a startup to work on developing a secure chat on a more open protocol. Now you dug up a LinkedIn post about the same startup attending an unrelated AI technology conference.
No one is saying that Mozilla isn’t involved in AI at all. The only thing I said is that the foundation is in trouble because Google antitrust actions are likely to harm their funding. As a result, they are cutting back in a lot of areas, including staffing, AI, and other side projects.
The original article ignorantly and irresponsibly overlooks the basic math of the situation.
- Comment on Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed up 6 days ago:
Looks like a step in the right direction. E2EE messaging is a worthy venture under the Mozilla umbrella.
Not sure why you are posting about it in this thread about AI.
- Comment on Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed up 6 days ago:
The author’s timeline is off. The AI investment was in 2023, before most of the Google antitrust activity. They are also scaling back their AI programs.

Why do people love to hate on Firefox? People have been harping on Pocket for years as a waste of resources that hardly anyone uses, but now that they are eliminating it, people are coming out if the woodwork to wax nostalgic?
It turns out that making a modern browser is a huge, complex task. It’s been said that it is more on par with maintaining an OS than another type of app. Mozilla is not perfect but why are we so quick to let the perfect be the enemy of the good?
It’s pretty tone-deaf to criticize layoffs on the same article that acknowledges their historic dependence on Google’s rapidly collapsing monopoly. Where is the money going to come from?
A poorly thought out blog post about the only major browser that isn’t built on Apple, Google, or Microsoft.

Didn’t Escobar Inc. already try this?
Looking forward to the JerryRigEverything video.
- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 1 week ago:
This may be an even better example than the positron. Originally a theoretical antimatter form of the common electron, with no practical application.
Turned out to be a vital tool for medical imaging. If you or someone you know has ever had a PET scan, now you know what the P stands for.

Thanks - this was the solution. I’ve updated the post to reflect the solution I used.

I believe that’s exactly what is happening. I just don’t know how to fix it. I could edit the YML files and delete

- Comment on Are foldable phones as good/bad as they say? 1 week ago:
Some considerations:
-
Do you prefer to have only the latest technology, regardless of cost? These phones are in flagship price ranges.
-
Are you very careful with your phone? Cases exist, but necessarily protect less of the device. The screen is far more prone to damage, but they are durable enough for daily use if you are a careful person.
-
Are you looking to get/replace both a phone and a tablet? Reviewers tend to say that foldables are not an adequate replacement for a tablet, but people I know personally say that it is more than enough to use as a tablet.
-
What features are you willing to compromise? Foldables often have lower quality cameras, chips, and smaller batteries than similarly priced phones. I’m assuming you have already looked into it, since this is easiest thing to check.
-
Do you just really want a foldable? Honestly, everyone I know who has one loves it. If you like the format then go for it :)

- Comment on We have to solve the money problem! 1 week ago:
I think it’s the best starting point. University and government resources can handle the volume and will motivate widespread adoption. In one sense, it is only kicking the can down the road, but it is kicking it into a future that will be better prepared for these questions.
- Comment on We have to solve the money problem! 1 week ago:
- Institutional servers (schools/universities running servers for faculty and students, companies running servers for their own employees)
This is the best long term strategy. News orgs should be hosting their own Mastodon instances at the very least. Same with schools and government.
It solves a number of problems - for them. So many news organizations and government offices are reliant on Xitter. That means that they are at the mercy of the owner of the platform for their messages to the public. Hosting their own instance puts them in charge. They can get out messages reliably and the public can trust that they are who they say… Just like an email address or URL.
Schools pay lots of money to private corporations to run bespoke university messaging systems, and are likewise reliant on those companies to provide administrative services such as moderating. Moving those communications in-house will be cheaper and simpler.
We should all be pressuring schools and local governments to adopt these technologies.

Moths come from eggs, which are similar to beans, so… I have no idea.

- Comment on Is feigned happiness remotely similar to actual happiness? 2 weeks ago:
To a certain degree, yes. Acting happy can cause you to do activities (connection) that can actually make you more happy.
In general though, a lot of unhappiness is founded in either an emotional response to an unhappy situation or in some type of chronic illness. Feigned happiness does not ever address underlying causes that should be addressed therapeutically.
