- Comment on Who discovered/"invented" fire? 3 weeks ago:
My guess would be someone trying to make stone tools by banging rocks together, a spark fell into dry grass, etc. But, you know, just a guess.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 4 weeks ago:
Yes, sorry I fumbled the wording, I meant to say it makes me wonder what the other chinese factory workers make and under which conditions they work compared to the chinese workers that make fairphones. Maybe it’s all propaganda and fairphone uses slave labour, but that would surprise me. Another thing I thought about is that tech is just more expensive in europe in general. It’s common that we pay 20% more for the same phone or laptop in europe compared to the US.

Ethically sourced, fair wages to workers, etc. Makes you wonder what a factory worker in china makes to allow for cheaper phones.

For buying gifts, for example.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 weeks ago:
I genuinely believe that more empathy is needed in both directions for people to come out of their trenches. Problem is, it"s hard to feel empathy for those who have no empathy in return. It’s a locked position reinforcing itself with every bad interaction. To break out of this we would have to listen and show that we care, while not getting the same things back. It feels bad. Unfair. Again, this goes both ways.

For some people, maybe behind the reason they seek these procedures is a wish that isn’t actually fulfilled by the procedures. I’ve never heard of someone getting addicted to transplanting kidneys or fixing cataracts.

Aha, as I thought then, thanks :) (As a young kid I was afraid of a fictional character called Banarne, so I think I can relate to this feeling.)

Maybe this isn’t the right place to ask, but what’s the story behind your user name? Not sure why, but for some reason I have always wondered. It’s ok if it’s secret.

It seems interesting! But like, it’s $43 to get the URL to watch it on my computer?

Didn’t they have a fundraiser a few months ago where they got 130000 CAD? Not saying it’s wrong to have more fundraisers, but what happened with that?

- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 2 months ago:
That seems like a good way, to give the user the option. In your opinion, are these algorithms transparent enough to understand or even verify for regular users?
- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 2 months ago:
3 is a feature to me. The “algorithms” seem to create bubbles, and I want to decide myself.
- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 2 months ago:
Hmm, but also construction workers building offices. How far does this rabbit hole go? An office worker involved in a project to hire construction workers to build an office for a construction company?

- Comment on They should suffer 3 months ago:
This could be a Black Mirror episode. A sentient ad that felt pain when skipped fighting to avoid pain. It would have no option than to try to get around ad-blockers and be sneaky and feel bad about annoying users, but the alternative is pain.

If the money is freely given as a donation, then I’m with you. If lack of money is what is stopping someone from making things that others are willing to pay to see more of, then sure. But if the only way to do it is to have ads or selling our data etc, then I don’t want that.
- Comment on The Fediverse Isn’t the Future. It’s the Present We’ve Been Denied. 4 months ago:
I’d rather have one unix surrealism than a thousand influencers with lots of followers. These days, I want to be among people who interact as equals, who share ideas, who cooperate in a genuine way. If we try a shortcut to more users through money, what is the point?

- Comment on Do you also feel cringe about people making such a big deal about ethnicity? 5 months ago:
The follow up question then is, how do we deal with that as a species? If we assume that humans have tribalistic tendencies, I don’t want to say inherent, but, deeply rooted? Can education and external pressure make it go away? Can we direct it into something else? It seems like sports teams with their fans is an outlet at least preferable to war, for example.

I am partial to pdksh, mainly because when I read it I hear a drummer going “ba-dum-tschh” like at the end of a joke, which is how I see most of my sed invokations.
