- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 11 hours ago:
Fair enough, I’m not old enough to remember those days of Wikipedia, my memory starts in roughly 2010 wrt Wikipedia use 😅
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 12 hours ago:
Nope, we all misunderstood what they meant. Wikipedia is not an authoritative source, it is a derivative work. However, you can use the sources provided by the Wikipedia article and use the article itself to understand the topic.
Wikipedia isn’t and was never a primary source of information, and that is by design. You don’t declare information in encyclopedias, you inventory information.

I legit can’t get over the name, and the interface is buggy.
The name is either made to enounce the sound of a plunger releasing its suction, or it’s meant to be pronounced “floor pee”.
I’ll pick Librewolf instead.

Thanks for the correction, it’s somehow worse because it low-key confirms he wants a christian theocracy, since there won’t be any non-christians left in his ideal America.

- Comment on Stripe CEO Explains Why Stablecoins Are Winning Over Global Businesses 5 weeks ago:
I’ll argue that calling them unintelligent dismisses their capacity for harm.
CEOs tend to be intelligent, cold and calculated. They will take whatever decision it takes to maximize profit, with complete disregard for human life. Even when they seemingly echo conspiracy theories, they generally do it with the end goal of increasing profits by pushing some narrative, for example.
We need to understand that they know exactly what they are doing, and that they and their companies need to be controlled using legislation.
- Comment on Stripe CEO Explains Why Stablecoins Are Winning Over Global Businesses 5 weeks ago:
Studies show that sociopaths and psychopaths are better fits for CEO roles.
If you look at it from a strictly financial angle, Patrick Collison would get really wealthy from a US annexation of Canada as his company would get access to the very lucrative and deregulated US market.
You need to have zero conscience to take the best strictly financial decisions for a company, with no regard for suffering or human life.

- Comment on Gen Z are dipping into their retirements, skipping meals and selling their belongings just to get by, new reports find 1 month ago:
Which makes sense, data takes a while to compile and release. It just means that someone like myself, who’s in their late 20’s, isn’t part of the data set. We’re probably doing even worse than the millennials.
- Comment on Gen Z are dipping into their retirements, skipping meals and selling their belongings just to get by, new reports find 1 month ago:
Indeed, but the oldest Gen Z are now 29, it would be nice to have more recent data.

Why yes, our bodies, and our brains, are designed to be as dense as possible to save on energy! This is why our brains’ gray matter has a lot of crevices so it can fold onto itself.
You can prevent piracy using a stronger keygen algorithm and online activation.
Valve sells product keys all the time, you don’t hear about them having a keygen problem. People just bypass the authentication altogether and simply torrent the software, which is something people still do with Windows 11.
