Why is it green
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 2 weeks ago:
As a non native English speaker I have more difficulty constructing my sentences in ways that make sense in English. It’s a lot harder to put my ideas into text in a coherent way that sounds right than it is spelling the words correctly especially with auto correct and syntax highlighting

Idk i ditnt notise anyting unujual
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 3 weeks ago:
Do it if it means you have a good time and a funny picture afterwards
Plus most girls I know would actually like a guy who’s not afraid of not being “nonchalant”. I think if a girl you show this picture to is turned off by it, it’s a dodged bullet for a materialistic/superficial relationship anyways.
- Comment on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs 3 weeks ago:
To let you skip the article, they are pausing sales to the USA on the base models of the framework 13, presumably because those are their lowest margin models. The two affected SKUs for the moment are the Intel 125H and Ryzen 7640U
- Comment on Elon Musk's X/Twitter to clamp down on parody accounts. 3 weeks ago:
That’s actually a good change. “Parody” accounts have spread uncountable amounts of misinformation during the last election. I remember some time ago there was a Justin Trudeau “parody” account that was obviously controlled by a very right wing person because they kept posting fake shit under the name of Trudeau

Looks really good. Let’s hope it’s more reliable than their disastrous id4
- Comment on What is the difference between same brand or different brand different 5070Ti gpus? I mean prices vary quite significantly 2 months ago:
The main differences will be the overclock that is applied from the factory, and that mostly depends on the quality of the cooler and fans, and the quality of the power delivery components. Lower end cards will have louder and less efficient coolers, and a less capable power delivery system which will make an overclocked card less stable and more prone to overheating. But in reality the difference is minimal, like low single digit performance difference minimal.

The right person won’t exist with that mindset that’s for sure…
- Comment on French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI 2 months ago:
I know it can’t take my job because I tried to make it do my job. Spoiler, it can’t. And that’s because most jobs aren’t doing things that have been done so often that Claude has an example in its training data set. If your job is that basic then yes, an AI will take it from you. Most of the programming job is actually solving a problem within the context of the codebase, not the coding itself. I am working with old and archaic technology from the 60s to the 90s and let me tell you, using the official doc is way more factual than asking any AI model about information because it will start spewing bullshit after the second prompt
- Comment on French President Emmanuel Macron announces €100 billion investments in AI 2 months ago:
Heh for me even the newest models like the new Claude are only really useful when I did the thinking and the initial code writing, and i ask it to simplify it or to make it use more efficient libraries/features. Because when asking it to do my work it produces shit, and im very junior level
- Comment on I don't need no app 2 months ago:
Doesn’t matter, the app has access to a unique device ID as well as an advertising id that the os provides free of charge without any user prompt! And that happens on both iOS and Android! How magnificent

Please don’t bring 2018 memes back, they can stay in their grave. Imo terms of memes I think this was the very worst era.

Community notes are an actually good feature of Twitter. It’s a good thing they are copying it

Pretty much yeah
- Comment on Proton 2024 Lifetime account fundraiser for online freedom | Ends on January 5th 3 months ago:
Proton is still a for-profit company, the change that happened was that the for-profit company was no longer owned by a single or multiple people (that can sell it whenever they want). Instead now proton is owned by the non profit that can’t be sold

Why not just always be friendly to people? Makes the person you are talking to happier and it makes you happier as well
- Comment on Is there an extensive guide on how to protect kids on the internet? 4 months ago:
That’s how I learned too, but at first yeah obv training wheels are useful in order to not have to reinstall the os every 2 days. About malware though, it may be more sneaky in general but some sites I’ve seen recently still use the old ways, especially for game mods or file downloads, they still use the giant green download button trick. Also, she will grow up in the internet that we have today, so if she learns the old stuff, it may not be that useful
In any case, just for thinking of this, she will probably be one of the most tech savvy person in her generation! I hope she will be thankful
- Comment on Is there an extensive guide on how to protect kids on the internet? 4 months ago:
One way would be to let them find out the hard way. Make sure they understand that everyone can see what they do and say and that they can find them back as a first base step. Let them have to click the right download button when downloading a mod for their game, you know. Make a setup so that if there’s theres a big oopsie with their devices yours arent affected. And from there they will install an ad blocker or learn to find the download button. You could also make a fake blackmail or phishing email to see how they react (I’ve thought about making a fake phishing email for the elder ones in my family recently too…) and make it so that if they click, the screen goes black and red with crazy sounds.
- Comment on Technology Connections' thoughts on Mastodon 4 months ago:
I don’t know how to word it, but what I really hate about mastodon is that the cancel culture is like 10x every other platform. As soon as you have a slight disagreement on something it’s because you’re a homophobe and a racist and an ableist and you hate autistic people and whatnot. If the word woke wasn’t so used by trump to mean not being a fascist, it would be reserved for this kind of people. Idk I don’t like that mastodon is basically full of self diagnosed neuro divergent people. There are two extremes on the political spectrum, there’s the facist and mastodonists. I understand why someone wouldnt want to stay on there, it’s genuinely not a good place to have discussions on
- Comment on First Look: Loops, by Pixelfed 5 months ago:
The app is good, however what makes the other platforms good is their algorithm and the content that is available. If those are missing (and they likely will for privacy reasons) there’s little reason for me to use it instead of instagram reels or tiktok for example.
- Comment on The amount of people your age is only going down with time. 5 months ago:
Oh yeah that’s true as well. Like it’s more accepted when a 60 year old dates a 50 year old than when a 30 year old dates a 20 year old. It’s the same gap, but more frequently seen. That’s the thing with cumulative numbers!! The more they go up the smaller the ll% difference in

Now that I think of it yeah, my work mac simply shows a popup telling me to kill an app. It just doesn’t deal with high mem pressure lol
