- Comment on The 16‑kilobyte curtain. How Russia’s new data‑capping censorship is throttling Cloudflare 1 week ago:
You could probably do it with http if the server properly supports the content range headers.
- Comment on Is Matrix cooked? 1 week ago:
uh, no? on smartphones, yes, but not on computers.
That’s not true. Most operating systems at least have filesystem permissions, and on a lot of Linux distros you additionally get AppArmor or PolKit to further restrict what files a program can read/write.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 3 weeks ago:
Actually I think I remember watching a technology connections video about how card in the US can use the headlights as a turn signal, or something like that.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 3 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure most cars have a turn signal near the headlights, and one on the mirror or on the side for that use case, no?
- Comment on True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup) 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but I’m not paying for every byte sent overy network, while I am paying for every kWh I use.
That’s all beside the point though, this is just a fun diy project so who cares really.
- Comment on My two cent about emails servers field. Over a two decades... 5 weeks ago:
Though now that I think about it, I did have to register my domain with Google in some way to stop being flagged as spam iirc.
- Comment on My two cent about emails servers field. Over a two decades... 5 weeks ago:
I also self hosted for years (using tuta mail with my own domain now), and have never had issues with my deliverability either.
- Comment on The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later. 5 weeks ago:
OK, cool? Your experience doesn’t mean this doesn’t happen though, and no one is saying this is any kind of proper way to train an animal.
- Comment on The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later. 5 weeks ago:
You can just go look at the sources of the article man.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 5 weeks ago:
Even if you’re an actual software dev, it’s still pretty much impossible to guess how much work something is without knowing the codebase intimately.
- Comment on Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year 5 weeks ago:
In the Netherlands there’s a few ISPs offering 4Gb and one even 8Gb iirc. Personally can’t really think of a use case for that though.
- Comment on Anthropic apologizes after one of its expert witnesses cited a fake article hallucinated by Claude in the company's legal battle with music publishers 1 month ago:
Lmao one of the pages on their website lists a few events at 123 Legal Ave, Suite 100, City, State, 12345. I’m starting to get the feeling these people don’t take their job very seriously.
The “divorce” link just leads to “divorce”. Not “shittysite/divorce“. Just,” divorce".
- Comment on Stardew Valley creator says he might make Stardew Valley 2 1 month ago:
You could also just… not update.
- Comment on Nintendo lawyers want to force Discord to reveal Pokémon Teraleak source 2 months ago:
Yeah if they get a warrant they’re 100% just handing over all the data
- Comment on The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered Mods Have Already Been Published Online 2 months ago:
Lol that’s it? That’s hardly inconvenient at all, just gotta make sure you don’t publish broken shit I guess
- Comment on New Jersey Sues Messaging App “Discord” for Unlawful Practices That Expose Kids to Child Predators and Violent, Sexual Content 2 months ago:
Hell yeah I used to love tux paint as a kid
- Comment on Apple announced that the company has surpassed a 60 percent reduction in its global greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2015 levels. 2 months ago:
Seems to me they responded to
I hope other technology companies try to aim for something similar
Which, according to them, they are.
- Comment on Copilot is on every updated PC. Forever. 3 months ago:
Wait so you turned copilot off, yet it was still reading everything you type?
- Comment on Palantir New AI Venture with TWG Global Promises a Financial Overhaul 3 months ago:
I thought Palantir made scandinavian power metal
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 3 months ago:
OK I think I see what you’re saying now:
If everyone leaves Firefox because of this, Google would probably stop paying them to be the default search engine.
I don’t see that as the biggest issue though. Once people are leaving, my guess is they’re just going to stop maintaining firefox regardless of how much money they get from Google. Cause why maintain a browser literally no one uses, instead of figuratively.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 3 months ago:
No, using Google makes Google money. That’s why they pay mozilla go be the default.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 3 months ago:
Zen had its latest release 5 days ago, and arc 4 days ago, so I haven’t idea what they’re talking about.
- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 3 months ago:
Technically Firefox is operated by the Mozilla Foundation, and thunderbird by its subsidiary, MZLA Technologies Corp. This subsidiary also took over K-9 a while ago iirc.
- Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude? 4 months ago:
French evolves: it has a committee to weed out stupid.
How are you going to stop people from using these “stupid” evolutions? That’s just not how language works. If this is really something France does, I’d imagine what they’d end up with is dictionaries that don’t at all match how people really speak.
- Comment on LegalEagle Suing PayPal's Honey 5 months ago:
Yes exactly, honey finds you coupon codes. It doesn’t redirect you to go buy from someone else.
- Comment on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's launch has been marred by long load times, server issues and now it has overwhelmingly negative reviews 7 months ago:
There is a nearly zero percent chance that the game developers are also cloud experts
Well yeah, that’s why you would put some cloud experts on the project besides the game devs if you’re doing things like this. It’s not just game developers working on the game.
Doesn’t even have to be people feom the Azure team. Microsoft has plenty of resources to teach someone to be a cloud expert in other branches, they even offer certifications for outside people, surely they can manage a few of their own.
- Comment on Hear me out, a Fediverse client that mimics Nintendo's Miiverse 7 months ago:
There’s the pretendo network, which continues support for the 3ds. Haven’t used it myself, but I think the miiverse network is also supported by them.
So at least you can still use miiverse to some extent, though probably with way fewer people.
- Comment on Reporters Without Borders sues X 7 months ago:
Ok maybe a very stulid question but
The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday announced
Isn’t that gramatically incorrect? Shouldn’t it be “The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders announced on Thursday”?
I see this kind of writing a lot in news articles so surely it’s not actually wrong, but that’s not how I was taught English writing.

Mostly short, but the few longer flights ive been on were also Boeing
- Comment on YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers 8 months ago:
I’ve never flown in an Airbus, in the EU. It’s all Boeing or tiny propeller planes.
