I think you have to be a man to understand how the body feels like. Its just designed to lift and pull things. So you feel strong in those areas without doing anything.

Some people get shot because guns were invented.

Yeah those things.

I will stop using it of course. There is a price to pay for not being affected by this. Its not going to be free.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 1 week ago:
Its not anti science to not blindly trust science. Its actual science to try and verify observations. Sure, most people dont have those skills to properly know what they are observing, but I think its good if people try to learn.
I learned tons of stuff about the common pitfalls about measuring the curvature of the earth by looking at flat earth arguments and seeing what science says about them.

They are not Americans so the world doesnt care.

Ah you meant like that…
Yeah, the power these companies have over our lives is very disturbing. They have positioned themselves as something most academic people really need, at least linkedin has.

Then I will just update my profile to a link my own cv page.

Absolutely never using any service that requires this. I dont even have any account on those platforms and I never will.
- Comment on It's been downhill since 2020 1 week ago:
To me it was 9/11 that started the insanity… Either way, if you look at movies from the 80s and movies from today, you clearly see the humanity lacking from todays movies.
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 2 weeks ago:
You would need more, because also paying for fuel or public transport, expensive lunch, maybe coffee…
Its scary how bad it is for us to go to an office. Sure, if you single and you need coworkers to not feel lonely, it may be worth it. But im super happy not going.
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 2 weeks ago:
If you do the math, its just horrible. If you have one hour to work, its 2 hours every day just getting to and back from work, which is 10 hours per week.
So you are spending more than an entire work day every week in traffic!
Isnt that just insane? If you are working from home, you have 10 hours of free time every week. The value of that is insane. You could go to gym, spend time with family, learn how to cook, whatever. Its a lot of time.

Nice to see humanity has its priorities straight as usual… :)
- Comment on Interesting question when you think about it 1 month ago:
People are afraid of a state they cant even feel or be concious about. The actual dying may not be fun though but being dead is the easiest thing you can be.
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 1 month ago:
Seems minor. If they wanted people to pay for it, they would block games since thats what most young people use windows for…
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 1 month ago:
Yeah. I havent used windows in a long time but when I was, you could play games without any license… What is locked?
- Comment on After laying off 9,000 employees , Microsoft records $27.2 billion profit in latest quarter 1 month ago:
Actually these days, windows is free because what Microsoft wants is your user data. And unless you stop that from being sent to Microsoft, you are generating profit for them every time you use your computer.

So companies are not using vpns?
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 1 month ago:
You cant ban vpns, its easy for tech people to set up a vpn server on any server on the internet and connect to it. Wireguard for example, super simple.
- Comment on Bubble Trouble 1 month ago:
Yeah that would be the logical end game since companies have invested billions into this trend now.
- Comment on Smart option 1 month ago:
When will we ever get rid of the .95 or.99 in every price… I guess never.
Im amazed it somehow works and the consumer buys more when using this system.

They always care about us when they are losing money arent they…

Maybe, but then who will supply the answers that Ai needs?
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 1 month ago:
Would love to but a lot of them have shut down now since people didnt buy them.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 1 month ago:
The larger problem that is not discussed so much is the amount of Ai generated garbage that is put on the web now.
When these Ai web crawlers start to read that Ai garbage as source data, the models will start to become worse and worse, and as a result, our Ai clients will start to get worse and worse.

They wont be happy until eye tracking technology makes sure we sit and watch their fucking ads before the actual content appears.
I mean, none of this is getting better. Its only going to become worse. I have ads in the fucking pause screen on my streaming tv app. So if I want to take a toilet break, I get an ad in my face. Its just so ridiculous.

Its actually not easy to run two of them since they are not designed for using a shared disk (you can get corrupted data). Its also not necessary, you can just leave the secondary dns server blank.
But if you want two because you want high availability in case one of your piholes goes down, you can rsync the settings between the two machines every 5 minutes or so. Its important to keep them in sync that way.

I switched to adguard home recently, much nicer user interface and I dont miss any features from pihole. :)
