  They are trying to appear human. Somehow that seems to involve cathing invisible fish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google flags Immich sites as dangerous⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t blame people for thinking that something is off after reading the linked blog post. This wouldn’t be the first time Google does something like this to OSS that poses some kind of potential threat to their business model (this is also mentioned in the post).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The C programming language is like debating a philosopher and Python is like debating someone who ate an edible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that part. I just don’t understand how the analogy relates to the programming languages. Maybe it really is just a shitty analogy from someone who doesn’t know much about either language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The C programming language is like debating a philosopher and Python is like debating someone who ate an edible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I genuinely don’t get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Rec] "REDLINE" is one of the best and bizarre animated movie I have ever seen.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should. It’s very entertaining and probably the greatest animation showcase from madhouse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
  1. Set lower bound by counting how many are visible in the photo
  2. Grow disinterested
  3. Guess some number above the result from step 1

  I’m a big fan of this post-outro gag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s incredibly surprising that neglecting infrastructure investments for a mere few decades would have such an effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CITY THE ANIMATION - Episode 5 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t sure what to expect after the production team told people that episode 5 would show them something they’ve never seen before, but heavy use of mixed media claymation, what must be a new record of simultaneous split-screen footage and experimental animation techniques to focus on various details of a giant animated shot surprised me either way. I’m not sure if this episode will work for everyone, but it’s honestly so technically impressive that you have to watch it. I’m sure that the staff had fun working on this, even with the amount of work it must have been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CITY THE ANIMATION - Episode 5 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the opposite for me. I’ve enjoyed each Episode more than the previous one, with the exception of some standout gags - like the yakisoba bag incident, which is a master class in direction, animation, setup and timing. It’s probably one of my favorite animated scenes ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Second Tea Breach Reveals Users’ DMs About Abortions and Cheating⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t an issue if you give private information to “good” companies since they don’t suffer data breaches. Make sure to check their website for the authentic “good company” seal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steam's new censorship rules in victory against 'porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists', and things only get weirder from there⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This just makes it extra frustrating when many people reacted to these news with indifference. They are not visible by default. You can hide general tags and specific games from your view very easily. There is no need to celebrate arbitrary censorship by puritans or hate groups, just because it doesn’t negatively affect your primary usage of a product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨romm v4.0.0 (self-hosted ROM manager/player) has been released⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To me this looks nothing like Discord beyond having a compact sidebar… In fact, I would hope that Discord never inspires any software UI, because it really fucking sucks.

  It’s probably not a good idea to infer how privacy friendly an open source software is, based on such a superficial visual similarity to a closed source proprietary product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hair color is a spectrum⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, it looks very much like that picture, at least in any crowd I’ve seen. Japanese society is pretty uptight about visually standing out too much. It’s all relegated to specific locations or events. Comiket is one example, because the many attending cosplayers are impossible to spot outside of the actual location (unless you count their luggage). Compared to similar events in europe, most of which are way smaller, you’ll see extravagantly dressed people with bright hair colors in a large radius and on public transport.

  That’s the new normal for internet search results, not a concerted effort by big erythritol…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why a Y Combinator startup tackling AI agents for Windows gave up and pivoted | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That title alone is giving me indigestion.

  There’s no way you could even frame this as a donation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CITY THE ANIMATION - Episode 2 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of all comedy anime I have watched, this probably has the best direction. Incredible stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See You Tomorrow at the Food Court • Food Court de, Mata Ashita. - Episode 1 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t seen this episode yet, but most of the low budget comedy anime adaptations fuck up the comedic timing in my experience. Mostly by lingering too long on random shots (padding the runtime I suppose). Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai comes to mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods to Enforce Digital ID Age Checks Under UK and EU Laws⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For the UK maybe. I still don’t see why the entire EU needs to be affected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nginx Proxy Manager 2.12.4 Released with Certbot Enhancements⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Using Traefik outside of k8s is for masochists. Especially after configv2. Caddy is by far the easiest reverse proxy to configure and has the sanest defaults.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wasn’t looking for technical support. You can do everything correctly and still get your mails randomly marked as spam or not delivered at all. This has happened to us, some of our customers, multiple smaller email providers as well as several municipalities (imagine blackholing government emails, what a grand idea). They don’t send sensible return headers, they might not even return your undelivered mail at all, they won’t react to any inquiries to their postmaster contact (or anywhere else really), they will blacklist entire IP blocks sometimes. The only way to sidestep any issues with them is to pay a few thousand bucks to enter their cool kids club certified sender alliance, which is what the big marketing firms use to deliver mass amounts of unwanted ads unhindered through their networks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is cheap, but the performance leaves much to be desired and their technical support is piss poor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had the opposite experience with their cloud services in a professional context. My biggest gripe is with United Internet, the monopolistic company that owns IONOS, 1&1 (an ISP) as well as the ad-ridden, flaming pile of garbage that are GMX and WEB.DE, two of the most popular email service providers in Germany as well as a constant source of pain for anyone operating an Email server. They will ignore common industry standards and best-practices, silently block your mailserver for absolutely no reason, not respond to inquiries and just generally make the internet a slightly worse place for small to medium sized businesses and selfhosters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s an alternative, but IONOS honestly fucking sucks as well, so I’m feeling pretty ambivalent about this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have my consent to kill me⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a link for alternate packings on that page, where you can see older versions, some with more aesthetically pleasing patterns of minimal tilted squares or symmetry. All of them use a larger value for s though and it’s hard to tell where your version would fit in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'No gay, no pay': The RuneScape community is absolutely mauling Jagex's new CEO over his decision to cancel new Pride Month events⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably why the comment you replied to didn’t say that at all.
