  It’s maybe some kind of circular logic, but my brain doesn’t recognize a picture of Satya Nadella = “Microsoft’s CEO” for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Long boi⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Many think that Windhund/vinthund is referring to wind (sighthounds are fast), but it’s most likely folk etymology. It’s believed the name most likely originated in lower German from the Wends - as sighthounds were mainly known from that region at the time.

  I think the lack of profile-wide “karma” is one benefit, so there’s not as much incentive to farm imaginary internet points and such with the same old zingers. Who knows, but hopefully not.

  How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did sites end up making money from API restrictions?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know all the numbers, but the point isn’t to make money from people paying for API access, but to force people to use their official applications – which meets their goals of farming more data/advertising money/engagement/whatever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approaching⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Haven’t Debian and most other distros stopped supporting “i386” for quite a while now? I remember reading something like that, but they still have 32-bit isos up.

  I don’t abuse alcohol. I love alcohol, so why would I abuse it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨eggs in japan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That probably wouldn’t pass the float test though, right? I wouldn’t risk it after that long, but I’m glad you didn’t get sick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK, that on most smartphones, if you press the power button 5 (or more) times in quick succession, you can quickly call emergency services.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  an approximate location based on cell tower triangulation (which is kind of hit or miss, sometimes it’s really accurate, other times it’s basically useless)

  I thought it was some kind of law that newer phones have to send accurate GPS coordinates?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨eggs in japan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The USDA’s website says that eggs are “washed and refrigerated in Canada, Japan, and Scandinavia”, but that’s a lie regarding Scandinavia in any case (I’m an egg enthusiast btw)… so I wouldn’t be surprised they’re lying about Japan as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It was already difficult enough to undo bra hooks, but now you can watch 6 unskipable ads instead and it’ll release itself automatically. Much profit indeed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ugh i wish⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think my girlfriend would be weirded out if I asked her to take domperidone…

  And if you get poisoned with 2,4-DNP, your ATP will make you into a thermal power plant before you die of uncontrolled hyperthermia!
