- Comment on EU chat control law proposes scanning your messages — even encrypted ones 5 months ago:
And the reasoning? As always Terrorists, pedophile, criminals, etc. Guess what: If those guys have not learned yet to make a big detour around official chat apps, they deserve getting caught. My bet is, those people already have their own secured means of communication. Maybe they hve their own, encrypted app, or they have a forum somewhere in the Darknet, whatever. But the chance that this new law will catch anything worthwhile is practically nil.

Well, if normal placebos don’t work, try Placebo Forte+ with three times the amount of active ingredients!
- Comment on They say MacDonald's is expensive now. Are any other chains still cheap/cheaper? 8 months ago:
For the level of “quality” they delivered, they have always been too expensive.
- Comment on Fox show hosts said Taylor Swift "should be conservative" given her background, because to them it's an identity. 8 months ago:
I don’t know much about Taylor Swift, but I assume she is simply too smart to be conservative.
- Comment on Fuck this. I am creating a new language. Some guy in 2006. 8 months ago:
I was just using it. But the behavior/reaction to button presses showed me that a button was obviously connected to the wrong function.
- Comment on Fuck this. I am creating a new language. Some guy in 2006. 9 months ago:
I don’t know how to see a memory bug in an out of order elevator, but I once saw and reported a wiring error of a working elevator. It was an interesting talk at the reception desk, but as I could precisely describe what was wrong and the verifyable consequences, they took me seriously. And sent me a “Thank You” email later ;-)
- Comment on The story of how the SSH port became 22. 9 months ago:
Back then, the internet was a thing of trust and cooperation. We got an assigned port number the same way. Current problem: Our company changed over the decades, and I no longer have the email address that would identify me to the IANA as the one who requested that number reservation.
- Comment on Junior Dev VS Machine Learning 9 months ago:
One key point here is: While you actually can replace a bunch of junior developers with AI in some places, any replaced junior developer will never become a senior developer that cannot be replaced by the AI because he/she is basically experince on two legs.
So, corporations, don’t complain about the lack of experienced, senior personnal because YOU have been the main reason they don’t exist.
- Comment on DARPA Research Leads To Groundbreaking Discovery In Quantum Computing. 10 months ago:
Let’s come back to all of this when all those “quantum breakthroughs” manage to compute anything worthwhile that is not a quantum computer benchmark, but solves a real world problem.

- Comment on Thousands of private camera footages from bedrooms hacked, sold online - VnExpress International 11 months ago:
Good luck holding a company sitting in China “responsible” for about anything.
- Comment on Not mocking cobol devs but yall are severely underpaid for keeping fintech alive 11 months ago:
I had a friend at university who got a job fixing cobol stuff before Y2K. The bank paid him extremely well, housed him in a luxury apartment during the job, and, as he had no driving licence, dropped in a car with free driver for him.

If one is dumb enough, this might actually be an option…
- Comment on Copyright Bot Can’t Tell The Difference Between Star Trek Ship And Adult Film Actress 11 months ago:
The solution would be to make fraudulent DMCA takedown notices expensive as f-ck for the issuer. As in: Pay for our legal costs and damages on top. And sign that agreement that you refrain from ever suing us again over the same issue.
- Comment on Nikki Haley vows to abolish anonymous social media accounts: 'It's a national security threat' 11 months ago:
Can’t we just abolish this Nikki Haley instead? Whoever she thinks she is.
- Comment on Security expert reveals surprising way to make your password stronger: use emojis 1 year ago:
As it said in the document: With a little help from your OS. So I want to log into lemm.ee from another persons computer. I do have not my own keyboard, I neither have my additional drivers or extensions or whatever. Oops. No login.
- Comment on abandonware empires 1 year ago:
Just have a look at the American pension system. They collect all their documents on paper in an old salt mine. Truckloads of documents per month.
- Comment on Auto execs are coming clean: EVs aren't working 1 year ago:
FTFY: EVs aren’t working to rise profits and bonuses.
- Comment on Security expert reveals surprising way to make your password stronger: use emojis 1 year ago:
What part of the word “Keyboard” did you not understand?
- Comment on Security expert reveals surprising way to make your password stronger: use emojis 1 year ago:
Completely useless from many sources where I have to rely on a keyboard for entering passwords.
- Comment on Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago 1 year ago:
Which, for me, also falls under “why the heck was this legal at any time?”
- Comment on Meta given 30 days to cease using the name Threads by company that trademarked it 11 years ago 1 year ago:
I don’t know which concerns me more: That Meta gets their asses kicked, or why the f-ck someone was able to trademark the word “Threads”.
- Comment on AI-created child sexual abuse images ‘threaten to overwhelm internet’ 1 year ago:
“Flooding the internet” - my ass. With 3000 pictures. Which is absolutely nothing in todays world. Maybe flooding some pedophile niches in the darkest corners of the internet, maybe replacing pictures of real abuse there. Makes you wonder where this “Internet Watch Foundation” actually hangs out. And what they smoke when they write their press releases.
- Comment on World's smallest particle accelerator is 54 million times smaller than the Large Hadron Collider, and it works 1 year ago:
Well, it is a million times smaller and a million times weaker. It accelerates from 28 to 40keV. So it a) already needs a pre-accelerator as input, and b) just adds about 35% to it.
Your run-of-the-mill CRT back in the times was an eccelerator, too, with something like 10keV, btw.
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 1 year ago:
Yes, but they replaced the Google spyware with the Microsoft one (as you can easily see from the behavior when downloading Chrome)
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 1 year ago:
“Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft”
Wow. If there ever was a reason to run, this is it.
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 1 year ago:
It is nice in chocolate desserts, pralinees, creams. Just imagine a buttercream cake where the buttercream has a hint of coffee flavor.
- Comment on Arnold Schwarzenegger: I'd be a great US president 1 year ago:
That was not because he was an actor. That was because Reagan was stupid enough to listen to the wrong people.
- Comment on Arnold Schwarzenegger: I'd be a great US president 1 year ago:
Downside: He can’t.
