  You say crappy, I say wait. My knees won’t have to bend so much. I’d actually take this if I didn’t have kids

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack overflow is almost dead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As more and more libraries are open source on GitHub or gitlab or sourceforge or whateverthefuck, asking questions on the libraries themselves (as an issue) is often the right thing to do, too… Less centralised than SO but also the only people who care about how to do things in a lib are people using the lib, so…

  Wellllll the implications of the ending of 28 weeks later is that the rest of the world had a reprieve but are fucked eventually…

  That’s a lovely little idea, imma steal that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this a joke? Analysis of techniques would be literally asking why an argument were lost, if an argument was indeed lost. Of course you’re making a lot of assumptions there, and I agree you’re not making an effort

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  YouTube will put multiple ad breaks into a popular 8 min video. Which is why I use playtube and/or Firefox with ad block unless I’m too hungover to fully function

  you can only see that apple is in the chat by pressing cmd+shift+alt+l+7

  Was that FPS Commandos or am I getting mixed up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨rawdogging it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Deep cut

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did you know you can track elons jet from mastodon?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only reason I give the slightest slightly green toilet-bowl-staining shit about this is because it upsets him and he deserves to be upset

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The past is a grotesque animal in my arse

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one good thing about all this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it’s a single trading block with free internal trade, it would be Impossible have different import tax levels for different countries within the union without them being trivial to circumvent.

  I did not know it was possible to snort enough blow to break your anus

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember hearing about somewhere - alphabet or meta or something like that - that basically provided adult crèche facilities for the employees. Way beyond just food - On-site nap rooms. Washing machines. Showers. The works. All to enable just a super unhealthy attitude towards work. Thinking about how much that must’ve affected anyone going there straight after uni when they should have been leaning how to look after themselves makes me shudder with cringe

  You have them in comics a lot, I wonder if…

  All social media can be anonymous if you want it to be ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dyk, Bobby?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some trees do a bit, I guess? Like, beech trees will release some chemicals to inhibit other plant growth, and iirc their leaves do that as they decompose, as well as the root system itself. But depends on the plant and mostly bunk I believe.

  Needs more jpeg. I can still read it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, didn’t realise it was that old. TiL I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's Mastodon precious?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  15… Years? On the fediverse? How’d ya manage that without time travel?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pretty sound reasoning here.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s probably fair to say that suggesting that a finger in the barrel of a gun would stop a bullet is a least 10x, if not 100x, worse than the Nazis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Science Journalism⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No. It’s all a bit hand-wavy and nebulous tbh; I think the only leg it’ll have to stand on will be if and when entanglement effects are seen to have a predictive power over complex states that we simply haven’t seen; and IMO at that point it ceases to be an argument about consciousness anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Science Journalism⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not that I’ve seen
