- Comment on Misogyny identified as breeding ground for extremism in UK, says leaked report 3 days ago:
I was going to make fun of the UK for first identifying misogyny as extremism and then crying about misogyny being extremism, but this paints a very bad picture. This says the UK has a multi culture problem. This also says to give the police more funding.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 4 weeks ago:
Sorry for your loss.
Yes, I think of emotional talk as “showing weakness”, because people around me gladly lash out at the exposed surface. Men and women do that, but it hurts more from women. They seem to be better at dealing emotional damage, or I’m just more receptive when it comes from them.
Also, talk about feelings needs to be handled, and can be handled very poorly. It also can seem demanding. “When I have my plate full of my own stuff I don’t want to deal with yours”, or similar mindsets when the tools to properly handle such a situation were just never acquired.
On the other hand talk about sportsball is a way to entertain oneself while giving the lizardbrain time to adapt to the people around it.

Yeah, I got a bit too into my own head. I do agree with that.
- Comment on World Without Corporations 2 months ago:
That is not a feature of proprietary software. That is a feature of an organisation. It only makes sense to make software for a profit in an organisation, so that’s why there’s so many of those. FOSS also has a lot of organisations, which are also pretty often used btw, but they are not required.
Not having to rely on an approval by any entity is a big thing for people fucking around with stuff. And fucking around with stuff makes one good at that stuff.

Science is influenced by academia. Still an important distinction.
- Comment on Sweden, Norway rethink plans for cashless societies over fears that fully digital payment systems would leave them vulnerable to Russian security threats 2 months ago:
I think the idea was that you can’t hoard anything, and stealing or reusing is harder. But it does make the central management way more powerful than it should be. But it’s normal bank standard.
What do you mean with “dystopian statist money”?
- Comment on Sweden, Norway rethink plans for cashless societies over fears that fully digital payment systems would leave them vulnerable to Russian security threats 2 months ago:
Yeah, I think so too. It should replace bank transactions completely.

The netherlands are already looking into it: www.ngi.eu/ngi-projects/ngi-taler/
The project could be used via paper trail, as far as I understand it.

Yeah

Better than most, privacy wise. Better than me, especially the pine phone (again, privacy wise). But still not solely your phone. The pine phone might be. You are on the right way though!
- Comment on Girl without smartphone unable to join in lesson — 'I feel guilty for not buying my daughter one for school' 3 months ago:
Off topic, but it’s very funny to me that you think you have full access to your phone.

- Comment on Phone companies to be asked to help tackle rise in snatch thefts 4 months ago:
Sucks for them, but this is the wrong way. Except if I can work my own exclusive system, or a system from another service provider into this. Previous to the stealing, of course. And without anyone needing to “allow” me

Awesome, then I’ll probably get one. Thank you!

They seem to be consumer grade, but dumb. Does someone here have one? How are the refresh rates? Can I play FPS games with at least 60hz on it?

- Comment on Valve released Windows drivers for Steam Deck OLED but no official support 5 months ago:
How do you involve the users in there? My gripe is with the OS. And the special treatment it gets from the hardware’s driver developers.
- Comment on Valve released Windows drivers for Steam Deck OLED but no official support 5 months ago:
More drivers = more good
, but I really would like the karmic justice of telling windows users to write their own kernels if they want them. Let them cook for a few years.

Pff, kids these days. Back then we had Amun, Min and Re as separate entities. And we were happy with it.
- Comment on Tech Giants Withholding Products Because EU Regulation like GDPR 6 months ago:
You write shitty code and it breaks something? You should be punished accordingly.
You load libraries without checking each and every one and now something’s broken? You should be punished accordingly.
You load proprietary code and now something’s broken? You better checked the whole contract so you can punish the creators after you’ve been punished.
Software developers often have way more reach (over distance and over time) than they realize. They should be held accountable more like doctors or engineers.
- Comment on Tech Giants Withholding Products Because EU Regulation like GDPR 6 months ago:
Nice! Thank you EU for the GDPR!
For the next step, please let the companies that produce software be held accountable for damages. For Nonprofits change the target to associated companies. Also punish the people responsible, like the developers, for their software and choice of used libraries. If the library was insufficiently supported by the developer, then the developer has no ground to sue for damages themselves.
