• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Only to a degree. Good flags are simple, distinct, memorable, easy to recognise from a distance, easy to recreate.
  There are plenty of objectively bad flags out there that fail in their design, yet people still like them, and that is fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS always annoys me.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone correct me, but I understood that donations serve as a tax write-off.
  So they don’t care about the donations as much as their own savings.

  Yes, but we didn’t emit nearly enough co2 on that one

  I want an option to select Marvin the paranoid android mood: “there’s your answer, now if you could leave me to wallow in self-pitty”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not worth the risk. If your job is border control, would you be smuggling goods? Maybe some would, but most would not.

  They’re whitehat because they don’t want to take part in illegal activities, or already have and have grown from it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pull to enter, you say?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true and not just about ads. It’s called ‘sign blindness’.
  People often run on autopilot when doing things as basic as opening doors, and reading requires direct attention.
  It’s not (always) about being dumb or careless, it’s our nature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No looky for you!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so that you can pontificate on that tissue you left in your pocket as it dissolves into little bits of paper snot and gets stuck on everything

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Geologists doubt Earth has the amount of copper needed to develop the entire world⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We just need to use it in smart ways We’re more likely to get copper from asteroids first before using our resources wisely

  We make rhubarb cake using one from our garden. It’s delicious.

  PowerToys -> Ctr alt v
  And a ton of other utils

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgrade⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that’s true, at least for companies.
  Industry standard or even company standard means you need a very critical reason to switch because doing so is very costly in ways that don’t really affect an individual or a small team.
  This is why large corps often still use decades old software that may be terrible by that point, but impossible to move away from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fake keepass repo on github⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is depressing. And what’s worse is that the best way to combat this is probably also AI. We’ll just scam ourselves out of resources by wasting it all on scams and battling scams. What a fitting way to go would that be.

  Depending on your slicer, you can enable arachne for variable perimeter widths, which helped me with the same problem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨28 years later, Lego Island's lost source code has been rediscovered – but the fans who spent nearly two years painstakingly decompiling it by hand "can't have it"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because doing so incurres a cost but no revenue.
  It may require a review of the code, there’s a risk of something being exposed that shouldn’t have been (e.g. misuse of intellectualproperty).
  There really aren’t any benefits for the studio.

  That’s assuming they’re even in business decade later, or even still have ownership.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The clueless people are out there among us⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I do prefer English plugs. Euro can wear out or just not hold in as well if they’re cheaply made. Never ever had that issue with English ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you’re in the market for a $1,900 color E Ink monitor, one of them exists now - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some annoying usability limitations still, but it has progressed far since early ebook readers, so I’m hopeful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you’re in the market for a $1,900 color E Ink monitor, one of them exists now - Ars Technica⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also a lap desk. And a coffee thermos. And headphones. Second screen.
  God, I’m too spoiled for nature, ain’t I

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Papra, the minimalistic document archiving platform⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily, paperless offers various sorting and cataloguing mechanisms, as well as rules and basic learning. If you spend time setting it all up, it should drive itself in time and search may only be a fallback mechanism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not everyone has time, skill, or desire to spend their nights learning how to build and configure a nas.
  People have other hobbies than IT, so if a photographer wants to have a local storage for his portfolio without faff, I guess they can get fucked?
  Really with your gatekeeping

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know that would solve everything anyway. Worst case, he’d become some kind of martyr.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If only we had a reason to upgrade.
  Instead, we have many reasons not to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Global VR headset shipments fell 12% YoY in 2024, with Meta's market share rising to 84%; Vision Pro shipments fell 43% QoQ in Q4, but its enterprise sales grew.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quest 3 is relatively affordable and provides excellent pcvr experience.
  There really aren’t and have never been any such offerings in this price level, and wireless is an absolute game changer.

  The fact that most people use it as standalone is understandable. It’s like pc vs a console - regular people just want to press power and go.
