I now see how posting this at 12 am UTC could lead to more colorblind people than British people stumbling across this meme first.

Block and move on if you care so much about someone not conforming to grammar conventions in the most harmless manner imaginable.
Just imagine your comment under someone using all lower case letters instead of capitalizing Proper Nouns and the beginning of sentences.

You support Palestine because you believe they are the victims of genocide.
I support Palestine because I believe they are the perpetrators of genocide.
We are not the same.

Sure, but misspelling historically significant names is a pretty bad sign for any flavor of science really.
I’m pretty sure Brits would want to stone me if I called that apple guy Newdon.

If any paper contains these misspellings of Feynman, Einstein or Hawking I would consider them at best sloppy writers.
- Comment on Clock logic 2 weeks ago:
To some extent, though I still often hear people using the 12 hour system.
Just yesterday I’ve heard someone complain about their night shift which starts at 6.
Especially because in German you can’t say “half 17” for 16:30, only “half 5”. You save two whole syllables with this way over “sixteen thirty”!

Hasn’t he admitted to changing his opinion after learning about the effects on children? I’m not in the loop about this.
But yeah, you definitely shouldn’t treat his words as gospel. A lot of questionable-at-best stuff in there.
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 2 weeks ago:
I sometimes like to read his political posts:
www.stallman.org/archives/2025-jul-oct.html
And honestly? I mostly agree with them? Like this:
ABC ordered to pay Antoinette Lattouf another $150,000 for unlawful termination over Gaza Instagram post.
But a company faced with enormous threats wielded by fascist officials who demand that certain views be suppressed will treat such penalties as the normal cost of sucking up.
The [Israeli] army says that HAMAS is using apartment buildings for “surveillance”, and has bombed some of those buildings to destroy them. Based on this logic, the army might bomb every tall building in Gaza City with the large bombs that the US is providing
He has some questionable beliefs as well, though for unusual reasons. He accepts non-binary people but refuses to use they/them pronouns because he doesn’t like the ambiguity of singular/plural pronouns. So he has invented the neopronouns per/pers to refer to singular non-binary persons. I genuinely think no other person on this planet could hold this opinion.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 3 weeks ago:
Same here.
A pattern in almost every song, book, poem, movie?
Like greed? Antisocial behavior? Populism? Lies? Belief in your own supremacy? Capitalism?
Honestly, my first thoughts were they eitnessed Cthulu. Though I suspect they intentionally chose to phrase it such that it invokes this analogy.
If we ignore the pattern aspect they mentioned maybe how history repeats itself? How tyranny emerges and sustains itself on fear and oppression?
I have no clue. It’s so vague.

- Comment on EU tax officials confront the most pressing legal question of our time: If you sell RuneScape gold to someone and they use it to buy a magic sword, do you still have to pay taxes? 3 weeks ago:
According to the German (I have not found an EU equivalent) office for statistics, you are part of the top 1% of full-time workers if you earn >213,286€ per year:
www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/…/PD25_134_621.html
Sure, this doesn’t include billionaires who don’t work but there just aren’t enough of them to matter. It’s not like there are hundreds of thousands billionaires in Germany.

Earning 400,000€ in two years makes you part of the 1% though?? Where else would this guy be? Upper middle class?
- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 3 weeks ago:
Do we know this?
I suspect they usually compress videos at most a couple times (for each resolution) and then keep the results cached somewhere. At least for popular videos that combined take up 99% of bandwidth. For 0 views videos I’d imagine they only store the highest resolution and compress it further down on demand.
I’d argue DRMing all those popular videos would take up so much computing power it cannot be offset by ads.
- Comment on Google just broke *all* third-party web clients, including yt-dlp; a full JS implementation is now required. 3 weeks ago:
DRM is expensive. Very expensive in fact because it is basically non-trivial encryption.
A website with as much traffic as YouTube cannot afford to DRM every single video stream. There just isn’t enough processing power and electricity available.
Netflix et al. have a tiny fraction of YouTube’s traffic with more income per user due to subscriptions.
Plus YouTube’s storage demands are many orders of magnitude larger. A maximum upper bound for Netflix is 1 PB I’d imagine. Archiveteam alone has selectively downloaded more than 3 PB. YouTube has, I’d imagine, a double digit exabyte amount of data stored + backups.

The face is bigger than normal size I think. The proportions of the face itself seem mostly fine, yet the eyes are far too high up his head.
- Comment on Clock logic 5 weeks ago:
Fun fact: Many countries use both systems actually.
For speaking, it’s quicker to say something like: “The party starts at 8” instead of “The party starts at 20 o’clock”.
For writing though, you would never use the 12 hour system.

- Comment on LGBTQ+ Americans consider move to Canada to escape Trump: ‘I’m afraid of living here’ 5 weeks ago:
I think the only country with as liberal of cannabis regulation is Canada and maybe Thailand. Not sure about other countries.
Medical use is still covered in much of Europe, though as far as I’m aware solely as a last resort for chronic pain. I think medical cannabis can only be consumed through weed pens as well, pharmacies aren’t going to give you joints.
Though I’m fairly sure a doctor would first attempt to find the cause of your insomnia because symptom treatment is of secondary concern. That might make for an uncomfortable first weeks.
- Comment on LGBTQ+ Americans consider move to Canada to escape Trump: ‘I’m afraid of living here’ 1 month ago:
None. No European country allows for legal cannabis concentrates.
As for the rest of your requirements: Most, I think? Except for affordable gigabit internet outside a few select countries perhaps.
- Comment on Trumps says Venezuelan jets will be 'shot down' if they endanger US ships 1 month ago:
The Secretary of State is appointed by the President though.
And I’m certain they argued there was no credible information Israel committed gross violations of human rights. Maybe it was only “normal” violations of human rights. Or maybe the information was somewhat incredible. Or maybe the Secretary of State said “LALALALALALALA” and closed their eyes and ears when presented with information so they didn’t technically have it.

It doesn’t really. The only smuggling is for yourself in form of alcohol tourism where those living close to borders drive across and stock up on it.
Alcohol is still available in Sweden, just more expensive. Hardly anyone turns to the black market to get like 30% off.
