- Comment on Sweden starts building 100,000 year storage site for spent nuclear fuel 2 days ago:
It’s a lot harder to “build” an empire to last 1000 years while simultaneously going to war with everyone though.
- Comment on Proton 2024 Lifetime account fundraiser for online freedom | Ends on January 5th 2 weeks ago:
Pretty sure they do this every year.
- Comment on I still don’t think companies serve you ads based on spying through your microphone 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it would be pretty annoying if her active director domain changes that often.
- Comment on Doom on a CAPTCHA is the most frustrating though admittedly raddest way to prove your humanity to an algorithm 2 weeks ago:
I did it without camping. Only took like 4 tries.
Just run to the hole upfront that’s slightly to the left and shoot while running there.
I even managed to grab a shotgun.
- Comment on New social experiment 2 weeks ago:
It’s actually not really a “shortcut” it’s just an environmental variable.
- Comment on Ford’s X account calls Israel a ‘terrorist state’ in apparent hack incident 2 weeks ago:
Nazism is a specific fascist ideology though.
- Comment on Deadline to record historic footpaths to be scrapped 3 weeks ago:
You guys should get a right of way law.
We don’t have public paths like that because you are allowed to walk wherever you want except very close to people’s homes and in people’s gardens.
You are even allowed to walk across grazing fields actively being roamed by farm animals. You obviously have to close the gate behind you though.
- Comment on Brazil shuts BYD factory site over 'slavery' conditions 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, absolutely. They can’t simply shift all responsibility to someone else.
- Comment on What Were The Best Fan Service Anime Of 2024? 5 weeks ago:
Why is anime often so incredibly sexualised?
- Comment on Startup will brick $800 emotional support robot for kids without refunds 5 weeks ago:
Onionphobia I guess.
- Comment on FBI recommends coming up with a 'secret word or phrase' to make sure your family know you're you and not some hellish AI copycat 5 weeks ago:
I was implying that you do the actual singing verbally. Like actually saying the bits and bob, which would be pretty much impossible.
Of course you could sign voice messages. That would be like singing any other file.
- Comment on FBI recommends coming up with a 'secret word or phrase' to make sure your family know you're you and not some hellish AI copycat 5 weeks ago:
Of course you don’t verbally sign voice messages. That wouldn’t make any sense at all unless you are a robot or something.
It was just a joke. But if you wanted to authenticate something (like an email, or voice I guess) in a PKI you would sign it using your certificate private key and the CA would tell the recipient if it’s valid or not.

Seems a bit hard to verbally exchange keys and sign your speech though.
- Comment on AI-Generated Fake War Images Passed Off as Real 5 weeks ago:
Start? People stopped?
- Comment on Coca-Cola accused of quietly dropping its 25% reusable packaging target 1 month ago:
Plastic bottles are wildly recycled here. So at least that is good.
- Comment on Commonwealth Bank to charge customers $3 'withdrawal fee' to access their own cash 1 month ago:
My bank is one of the biggest in my country. They charge a flat rate of like 10-20 € a year normally (+ some extra fees for specific stuff like paying in foreign currencies) which I think is pretty reasonable.
Are the smaller banks in Australia completely free for all ages and with no fees?
- Comment on Commonwealth Bank to charge customers $3 'withdrawal fee' to access their own cash 1 month ago:
Huh, my bank is free until IIRC you are 25. You get a simple account with a debit card and a simple savings account (pretty sure you can make however many accounts you feel like for free after that). You also get access to the instant money transfer tool that everyone in my country uses (no fees whatsoever to use it either)
- Comment on Copilot PCs represent only a tiny fraction of laptop sales — compatible laptops accounted for less than 10% of total shipments in 3Q24 1 month ago:
They should just have advertised it as an ARM pc with better battery life.
- Comment on Leaked Documents Show What Phones Secretive Tech ‘Graykey’ Can Unlock 1 month ago:
That’s because people are stupid enough to never write down their keys and it’s better to have somewhat worse encryption compared to no encryption.
In an enterprise the recovery keys are most often stored in AD or Entra.
- Comment on Patient gamers, what are your favorite OSTs? 2 months ago:
Project wingman and the Ace combat series is great!
- Comment on New York City's new solar-powered school buses will support the grid too 2 months ago:
People don’t need to park busses and trams
What? In cities skylines people can put cars in their pockets but unfortunately that’s impossible in real life. Where the hell are the busses supposed to go then?
- Comment on New York City's new solar-powered school buses will support the grid too 2 months ago:
They need somewhere to park though.
- Comment on Entire Mac Lineup Now Finally Starts With at Least 16GB RAM, Ending 8GB Era 2 months ago:
Or Linux Or MacOS Or any computer really
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
They should have put the button on the top or front like any other company would do.
- Comment on Trick OR Treat 2 months ago:
No, AND won’t match 0,0 while XNOR will. An AND switch would be useless for a staircase.
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
I would absolutely agree if Apple was a person with feelings, but fair enough.
Have a nice day/night
- Comment on Trick OR Treat 2 months ago:
Oh, I am no electrician. I work in IT.
Being an electrician would be pretty high on the list of things to do if I weren’t allowed to work in IT though. Seems fairly fun.
- Comment on Trick OR Treat 2 months ago:
My bad. It’s “must have both or non”
- Comment on M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location 2 months ago:
No one is genuinely mad. It’s just fun to mock them.
The genocide being committed in Palestine is something that makes me mad.
The fact that we are happy for our largest companies to outsource work to poorer countries makes me mad.
The fact that corporations seemingly control the world and don’t pay their fair share makes me mad.
Fun fact: it’s possible to be mad about those things while also thinking a button is stupidly placed. People that dismiss everything just because there is something worse are just so annoying.
- Comment on Trick OR Treat 2 months ago:
Wiring a stairway switch is actually very easy you pretty much just need two wires going from one switch to another and then a light
