You are not exaggerating, except that what you point out is not certain to happen, and way too many people think it’s a great strategy to stick their head in the sand, thereby making it more likely to end up catastrophic.

- Comment on Disconnect wire to close a switch with a simple circuit 5 days ago:
Sorry, I clearly misunderstood - so the problem isn’t the tripwire implementation but rather the high current that you need to switch. My first thought was (as someone else suggested) to use a relay, and a quick web search brought me to this mention of “Darlington” transistors: itp.nyu.edu/…/transistors-relays-and-controlling-…

Well, I can’t condemn you, I have only partially made the move myself for lack of options :(
- Comment on Disconnect wire to close a switch with a simple circuit 5 days ago:
I couldn’t imagine the transistor flipping when it’s base is actually grounded. Did you try an NPN transistor? I am not familiar with FETs, maybe they behave weirdly here?
- Comment on Disconnect wire to close a switch with a simple circuit 5 days ago:
I was never excellent at analogue electronics but your very first diagram looks perfectly fine, with the tripwire connecting the transistor base to ground. Preferably with a large resistor to avoid draining the battery quickly. A grounded base should effectively close the collector-emitter path.

I am still stuck with Mozilla, but I hate the organisation nonetheless. :( It sucks that the web standards have been made so complicated (extensive) that it takes a major organisation to implement them in a browser.
On the phone I use DDG browser, but not hapoy with it because ublock origin isn’t available.
On computer I am frustrated that debian repos do not yet have a privacy friendly fork, such as (from what I hear) waterfox or LibreWolf.
I am with you that Chrome-derivates are not an alternative at all.

You don’t actually believe that “don’t ever bother me about this again” is gonna be in the realm.of possibilities, do you? They’ll accidentally “forget” your choice on every second update and pester you again. Fuck mozilla.

- Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM 1 week ago:
The thing is: LLMs do not accelerate the progress of proper software development. Your processes have to be truly broken to be able to experience a net gain from using LLMs. It enables shitty coders to output pull requests that look like they were written by someone competent, and thereby effectively waste the time of skilled developers who review such pull requests out of respect for the contributor, only to find out it is utter garbage.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
As someone who disliked celery in the past, I still find it enriches vegetable soups a lot. And by now I actually like the taste of cooked(!) celery. So yes, I would say most people just like it.

- Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM 2 weeks ago:
problem is that the widespread use of (and thereby provision of your data to) LLMs contributes to the rise of totalitarian regimes, wage-slavery and destroying our planet’s ecosystem. Not a single problem in any of our lives is important enough to justify this. And convenience because we are too lazy to think for ourselves, or to do some longer (more effort) web research, is definitely not a good excuse to be complicit in murder, torture and ecoterrorism.
- Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM 2 weeks ago:
I’ve become increasingly comfortable with LLM usage, to the point that myself from last year would hate me. Compared to projects I used to do with where I’d be deep into Google Reddit and Wikipedia, ChatGPT gives me pretty good answers much more quickly, and far more tailored to my needs.
Please hate yourself, reflect on that and walk back from contributing to destroying the environment by furthering widespread adoption of this shitty technology. The only reason you seem to get “useful answers” is because of search engine and website enshittification. What you are getting is still tons worse than a good web research 10 years ago.
Basically you were taught to enjoy rancid butter because all restaurants around you had started tasting like shit first, then someone opened a rancid butter shop.
