- Comment on Let's Encrypt is 10 years old today ! 4 days ago:
HTTPS used to be very expensive and out of reach for most smaller orgs. Let’s Encrypt brought easy mass adoption and changed encryption availability on the web for everyone.

Maybe they were humans who’ve realized how dumb they were and ceased posting? One can hope, anyway…

If it’s not sunny where you live, then you just get electricity from where it is sunny. It’s really really simple

Have you ever swiped on your phone, but the screen doesn’t move (due to end of content, or unknowingly being an unswipable screen), and you feel your eyes jerk automatically in reflex, predicting the movement that didn’t happen?

And then there’s the rare moment when you think they have it so you let go and it falls to the floor 😭
- Comment on This is a simple and satisfying way to fight Trump and Musk | It's time to delete X 1 week ago:
To be fair, I’ve been on there calling the fascists and Trump apologists out. The pennies they get from ads pale in comparison to the fact I bought a Tesla years ago womp womp 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🫤
- Comment on Tiger Predators 2 weeks ago:
I hear what you’re saying, and you’re 100% correct, but I think most people will realize it’s a figure of speech, and easier to say than “Via the process of gene mutation trial and error over many, many generations of Tigers, spots have developed on their ears that look like eyes, resulting in predation from behind being discourged.”

Just went down the rabbit-hole of the acquisition of MySQL as I was bored. What a fascinating story.
Dude who made originally made it in 1995, Michael Widenius, named it after his daughter My, hence MySQL. He sold it to Sun for $1 billion in 2008. He then turned around, forked the software, and produced MariaDB (I always wondered why it was named that) starting a new organization around it in 2009. It’s functionally nearly identical, often able to be used as a drop in replacement, assuming you aren’t using new features developed after the fork. Last month, he sold it again to some private equity firm (yay…). What a guy.
Unfortunately, he’s run out of daughters to name software after and already used his son’s name for something else, so we might be at the end of open source community driving DB solutions from Michael.
- Comment on Please be patient. 3 weeks ago:
No, E=mc^2^ is the equation of converting mass to energy. Nothing is being destroyed, but simply changing state.
- Comment on Please be patient. 3 weeks ago:
I mean…if energy can not be created nor destroyed, it kind of lends to this hypothesis… 🤔

- Comment on Get good. 4 weeks ago:
I have taught my kids to communicate with me entirely in Morse code via blinking.
It’s perfect as it’s nigh impossible to be interrupted, and back-talk doesn’t matter because they look too stupid to even get upset about.
- Comment on Large Boeing Satellite Suddenly Explodes Into Pieces 4 weeks ago:
That was a previous satellite. This one appears to still be unknown if I’m not mistaken.
Makes me wonder if we have some Kessler Syndrome on it hands…
- Comment on Baidu CEO warns AI is just an inevitable bubble — 99% of AI companies are at risk of failing when the bubble bursts 4 weeks ago:
The web didn’t die after the dot com bubble burst. The AI bubble will burst, but a smaller niche of companies will continue to exist.

- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 1 month ago:
I can’t speak for that device in particular, but I’ve been using a Galaxy Fold for a few years now and the crease is literally nothing. In most cases, you’re looking dead on at the phone and you can’t see it. If you’re outside it becomes slightly more noticeable, but the bright glare from the sun in general makes for more of a problem than the crease.

Oh, my bad, I thought the point of discussion boards was to have a discussion…
If your only goal is to spout misinformation and stick your fingers in your ears, I’ll go somewhere else.
