If you ever have to switch, I can vouch for Kodi. I’m using it with the plugins for YouTube, national TV, Arte and my own local media storage. The downside is that those plugins aren’t officially supported tho
- Comment on They really want people to RTO 7 months ago:
I like having a separate desk at home I only use for work. It puts me in a different mindset and helps me separate work from life. I often have to work outside of the usual business hours, so I really need that separation.

I know quite a lot of people doing research into AI. Some from my own background in applied mathematics, and some from my partners partner’s background in computational linguistics. They all have very different ideas about the future of AI, but they all laugh about the idea of a generic AGI.

- Comment on English may be a hot mess but at least we don't have to worry about this nonsense 8 months ago:
I call bullshit on this, e.g. “de aanrecht” sounds just plain wrong. I know that people in the Netherlands are often using the wrong gender, which always sounds weird to me.
Words that change meaning with different genders (e.g. “de aas” and “het aas”) are kinda cool tho.
