How is this a study? It’s just basic probability on a bogo sort style algorithm.
- Comment on Selfhosted alternative to Spotify 3 weeks ago:
I like Navidrome for the server and substreamer for the app.
- Comment on Selfhosted alternative to Spotify 3 weeks ago:
I’m doimg the same, but with the substreamer app.
- Comment on REPORT: Arm is sensationally canceling the license that allowed Qualcomm to make Snapdragon chips which power everything from Microsoft's Copilot+ PCs to Samsung's Galaxy smartphones and tablets 4 weeks ago:
Lots of Utilities are consumer cooperatives which is funnily enough Socialist, but the people working there wouldn’t like to hear that.
- Comment on Trump cosplaying 4 weeks ago:
They wouldn’t just shrug. They would actively cheer it on.

Went thru the same thing in 2014
- Comment on I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home. 4 weeks ago:
I’d argue that haptic gloves, valve index controllers, and hand tracking are there, but the hardware for VR isn’t quite cheap enough for it to be mainstream.
- Comment on Google has been blocking many tools/IP ranges that try to synchronize with YouTube 2 months ago:
Not if it used Veiled
- Comment on Some basic info about USB 2 months ago:
I legit have never seen the battery used at all. They often use a plug, a lightning bolt confusingly, or don’t even label it at all.

Or be chaotic and use Rankine
- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 2 months ago:
In modern times? IDK, but historically female leaders tended to engage in more war as a way to legitimize their rule, whether instigator or not. Kosem Sultan, Queen Isabella of Spain, and Catherine de’ Medici to name a few, but to quote a Quartz article:
“In fact, between 1480 and 1913, Europe’s queens were 27% more likely than its kings to wage war, according to a National Bureau of Economics … And like Isabella, queens were also more likely to amass new territory during their reigns, found the paper’s authors, economists Oeindrila Dube and S.P. Harish.”
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
I would recommend Fedora as it’s been the most stable regularly updated distro for me.
- Comment on What are the biggest red flags when talking with a Trek "fan"? 2 months ago:
But they did share it and were cool about it. It’s people who say stuff like “this is shit and people who like it are shit” that need to cool their jets.

Poe’s law :/
- Comment on CFCs 8 months ago:
It was a massive threat as it would break banking records and aircraft flight paths. Those industries spent millions to fix the problem. In 14 years(2038) we’ll have a similar problem with all 32bit computers breaking if they haven’t had firmware updates to store UTC time as a 64bit number composed of two 32bit numbers. Lots of medical, industrial, and government equipment will need to either be patched or replaced.

Even better; turn them into worker cooperatives!
- Comment on Which option lads? 9 months ago:
They just got several billion from the inflation reduction act to actually fix themselves which is why they can finally do our taxes. They are also projected to be able to collect an additional 500 billion from tax evaders into the next decade.

Yeah, moissanite is more brilliant and made form SiC which I think is really cool from an electronics standpoint.

- Comment on 40% of US electricity is now emissions-free 10 months ago:
It was completely relevant to the discussion. That’s not a whataboutism.

What is toxic in solar panels? While I’d love it if they would actually recycle the silver, copper, and 99.99% pure silicon, most of the time it ends up the same place the fiberglass turbines do: ground into industrial sand for concrete. Also the aluminum is already recycled anyway. There are several recyclers for solar panels popping up as the scale of solar increases to better take advantage of the materials, but they are already fully recycled Also coal plants are shutting down and being edged out by natural gas anyway. I don’t know what sources you are using, but they are either out of date or wrong.
- Comment on Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome 1 year ago:
Honestly, I’ll give credit to Apple for pushing forward JXL on webkit and pushing back against Chromium team’s dominance and Mozilla team’s apathetic stance in the browser space. While I appreciate Mozilla’s stance on Manifest V3 and several other issues, I can’t help but hope for more development from the Servo project.

Obligatory mirco is better.
