  Oh! “Neat”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The green lean mean killing machine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s like radiation poisoning, then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix messaging gaining ground in government IT⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, so on further research it looks like the vulnerabilities were all part of that library, and not inherent to the protocol itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix messaging gaining ground in government IT⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t been following Matrix development too closely, but last I heard, both the protocol and the reference implementation had serious flaws, including gaping security holes. As in, issues that couldn’t be overcome without a clean-slate redesign. Did they somehow manage to salvage something useable?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using the same abbreviation scheme as "internationalization" -> "i18n", the word "to" can be abreviated as "t0o".⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This but unironically.

  If the word is understandable, screw the spelling. Descriptivists rise up!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, I didn’t realize the numbers worked out that well.

  I think there’s still a raw-materials issue. Extraction and transport for that much solar is doable but still a big disadvantage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I still think nuclear (probably fission rather than fusion) has a place, at least in terms of land usage. It’s just obscenely efficient in terms of energy per resource investment. It requires many square miles and hundreds of tons of materials to match the output of a single reactor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out heat engines are like… pretty good at turning arbitrary energy sources into useful work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doing Gigabit Ethernet Over My British Phone Wires – The HFT Guy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even US houses above a certain age have the same problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy irl⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad I’m not the only one whose mind jumped to this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am surprised that no one has started selling shell headphones for sleeping.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the sound of a joke going over your head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am surprised that no one has started selling shell headphones for sleeping.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Whoosh?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Something something cold, dead hands

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “I am that guy.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop using MySQL in 2026, it is not true open source⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell, even SQLite is good enough for most small projects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An alternate universe where Jurassic Park is real and HBO made a documentary about it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost as good as Fascinating Horror’s coverage of the subject.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about Project 100,000, when the US conscripted people with mental disabilities to be used as cannon fodder in Vietnam, suffering triple the casualties of other soldiers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Art imitates life imitates art imitates…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are New Appliances So Bad? [41:02]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨˚₊‧꒰ა 𓂋 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminds me of a fun quote from a paleontology textbook:

  “Only two types of animals managed to evolve wings without giving up another pair of limbs: insects and angels.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US halts all asylum decisions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you know what asylum is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI says dead teen violated TOS when he used ChatGPT to plan suicide - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure looks like it.

  Get fucked, assholes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Knowing is half the battle!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I understand prefix notation, but you got the order of operations wrong…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Former US vice president Dick Cheney dies at 84⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ding-dong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With how shitty some Christians are, you really have to wonder if Lucifer or Satan is truly "evil"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The name “Lucifer” also means “light bringer”, and it can be interpreted to refer to his gift of the “light of reason” to humanity in the garden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨With The Sims owners EA selling to Saudi Arabia, and InZOI owners Krafton going "AI First", there is room in the market for a very queer life simulator⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …right up until the payment processors declare that queer representation is “adult content” and get it delisted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jurassic Park⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t they actually address this in the film? Some kind like “Cretaceous park doesn’t roll off the tongue”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh no my harvest is too bountiful⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  whoosh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like propping up the industry primarily responsible for one of the largest (if not the largest) crises in human history is an appropriate place to draw a line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, you’re petroleum industry apologists, so for a change I’m not that broken up.
