Thanks for taking action! That’s a pretty crazy number of accounts to set up for what appears like promoting a few bland articles from a bland AI-generated website.
- Comment on Vote manipulation bots using sh.itjust.works? 5 weeks ago:
It was just a random site with some news articles linking to more established news sources. Nothing objectionable content-wise really. Only the remarkable number of upvotes in a very short time for two posts going to the same random site stood out to me.

- Comment on I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon. 5 weeks ago:
Ha that reminds me of the good (or bad) old days of PC gaming where individual settings could make a huge difference.

- Comment on Meditation is like drugs but better 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I should’ve written it as “It is not like that for me”
- Comment on Meditation is like drugs but better 5 weeks ago:
Well everyone is different. I practiced Zazen and nobody ever told me of experiencing a high or altered awareness.
- Comment on Meditation is like drugs but better 5 weeks ago:
Meditation doesn’t get you high?
No it’s a a fairly sober experience.
Drugs don’t alter your awareness?
Well I guess they can. I have no firsthand experience with psychedelics etc. but it doesn’t sound like the same kind of experience.
- Comment on Meditation is like drugs but better 5 weeks ago:
No, meditation is not like drugs. If anything it’s like exercise for a very particular part of your mind. It can train the mind to be calm, patient, observant and focused. I practiced for many years. In my experience it does not in and of itself bring any sort of feelings of happiness.

I’m sure it’s a very real and concerning problem that Americans watch too many foreign movies in theaters.
- Comment on Skype was shut down for good today 1 month ago:
I never really used Skype as a VOIP platform, but it was a great tool for many years for calling international phone numbers affordably. I’m sure it helped many people saving a lot of money calling their friends and relatives. For that I remember it somewhat fondly.

Open sourcing old games is awesome for video game preservation.

I agree. E-mail is the original federated service. And 50 years later, e-mail spam remains a big problem. I hope Fedi projects can get spam mitigations on-par with email, before spammers start getting serious about this place.
- Comment on Linux royalty backs adoption of Rust for kernel code 3 months ago:
Moving from C to C++ would also not solve any real problem. C++ of course adds OOP which I think can be nice (not everyone agrees with this!) but it also adds an insane amount of language complexity and instability. Mentally reasoning about C code is hard, reasoning about C++ code is nearly impossible.
Rust however brings a novel solution to classes of problems like ownership and mutability with the borrow checker. It’s now accepted to be a great tool for writing high performance code while preventing a substantial amount of common, but often subtle, bugs from slipping through. It’s not arbitrarily the first non-C code to be accepted in the kernel. And it’s used in other operating systems like Android and Windows already.

- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 4 months ago:
Yeah, that must be it. It’s a real shame because the core technology seems to be solid. Streaming 1080p videos from other instances just works. But finding channels to follow seems impossible.

I was about to leave a snide “Eww, crypto” comment here, but this “Interledger Protocol” seems like the most good-faith approach to digital currency I’ve seen yet? I’m not knowledgeable enough to fully understand it, but I hope it will actually turn out to be a good thing.
