- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 2 days ago:
If someone breaks their arm doing a skateboard trick, do you blame the seller of the skateboard?
Consenting adults know the risk of taking drugs, if someone gets addicted the blame doesn’t fall on the dealer.
Not to mention that the vast majority of drug users dont become addicted or have their lives ruined. Rather they have their lives significantly improved
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 3 days ago:
We have all been conditioned by the media to think of drug dealers as bad people, but if you aren’t violent and only selling to consenting adults there is nothing inherently wrong or evil about it, other than braking the law. You are providing a valuable service to your community, like every other job.
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 4 days ago:
where a 30ms difference in reaction time is noticeable (this is less than 1 frame in a fighting game, for example)
You have some pretty bad understanding of how netcode works if you think a 30ms ping in an online multi-player game means your game or input is delayed by 30ms. It’s a lot more complicated than that, and especially in games with bad netcode you will absolutely notice a difference between 10ms or 30ms ping
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 5 days ago:
Is it because latency does not scale in that way?
Yes, your understanding is fundamentally flawed. Starlink add a fixed latency on top, if you ping to a server was 2ms with fiber and 52ms with starlink, then your ping to a server that would be 100ms with fiber would be 150ms with starlink
- Comment on SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink 5 days ago:
I live near DE-CIX and have fiber. So a decent chunk of web services I use is available with a latency of under 5ms. And everything else hosted in a European datacenter with under 20ms.
So almost all of my internet traffic has a lower latency than starlink has under ideal conditions

Or one of the regional ones (feddit.org for german speaking countries for example)

Pretty sure China would block all lemmy instances they knew of, the smaller ones just flew under the radar.
- Comment on Cutting sucks 3 weeks ago:
This is absolutely terrible advice. It takes an insane amount of physical activity to burn the calories of a meal, and being in a deficit will make you feel hungry regardless.
The majority of people need to worry about putting down their fork, not doing more physical activities

- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 3 weeks ago:
We’re you never a child? I formatted my family pc and reinstalled windows in 5th grade, and used a VPN to circumvent the schools online filter in 7th grade.
Children are not as stupid as you seem to think
- Comment on This Tiny Radio Lets Me Send Texts Without Wi-Fi or Cell Service 3 weeks ago:
would the network be willing to carry my signals?
That is entirely up to the whim of your neighboring nodes to decide
- Comment on Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded 3 weeks ago:
Hetzner and reliable do not belong in the same sentence.
Cheap yes, reliable no.
I’ve been using them for my company a lot because of how cheap they are, but compared to other European competitors (like OVH) they are complete garbage. Their pricing is the only redeeming factor.
The Schwartz Group (parent company of Lidl) is currently building a German cloud platform, which sounds a lot more promising.

- Comment on Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate 5 weeks ago:
And usually by the time they break they have been obsolete anyways, at least for 24/7 use in a NAS where storage density and energy efficiency are a big concern. So you would have replaced most of them long before they break, even with recertified drives
- Comment on Stardew Valley dethrones Valve classic as Steam’s top-rated game 1 month ago:
Probably only surpassed by Minecraft, although that is of course no longer an indie game today
- Comment on Massive internet outage reported: Google services, Cloudflare, Character.AI among dozens of services impacted 2 months ago:
Interesting, I have a lot less problems with the Cloudflare verification, than with Google captchas. The slightest unusual thing seems to put you in captcha hell
- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 2 months ago:
The title makes it appear as if it’s out of charity and goodness of their corporate heart
Only to someone that has been living under a rock for the last decade. Everyone else is able to deduct from the “to European users” in the title that the EU forced their hand
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 2 months ago:
Dann haben wir uns nur falsch verstanden. Ich habe angenommen, dass sich das “sie” im zweiten Satz auf Duolingo bezieht, also “ich benutze (Duolingo) nicht”
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 2 months ago:
Grammatik hingegen ist definitiv weiblich
Bist du dir da sicher? Ich habe noch nie jemanden “die Duolingo” sagen hören 😅
- Comment on Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’ 2 months ago:
Lernt man denn Grammatik auf Duolingo? Ich weiß es nicht, weil ich es nicht nutze.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 4 months ago:
there’s still not really sd cards or flash drives bigger than 1tb
There are actually 2tb microSD cards now, and 4tb flash drives
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 4 months ago:
So rent a budget VPS and tunnel your home server through it?
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 4 months ago:
Why rent? If you have fiber and aren’t behind CGNAT you can host from your home
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 4 months ago:
5TB requires you to be a company??? My personal NAS already has 92TB

You know this is more than enough reason to fire you once your IT department finds out
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 4 months ago:
Most manufacturers only list average power draw, but in HDR mode you can get much higher peak power useage.
This website also lists peak power draw for many TVs, in this example the Bravia 9 85 inch has a peak of 380W
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 4 months ago:
Your research would be incorrect
- Comment on China launches HDMI and DisplayPort alternative — GPMI boasts up to 192 Gbps bandwidth, 480W power delivery 4 months ago:
Gigantic 80" screens generally draw something like 120W
In HDR mode they can draw a lot more than that for short peaks
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 months ago:
OK, do you want me to tell 50 users of my Plex server that they can no longer use their shitty 10 year old smart TV to watch my movie library, and instead have to pay money buy a chromecast dongle, and then get a completely different UI and lose all their view progress on TV series? They’d just go back to paying for Netflix
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 5 months ago:
Yes. I have a lifetime Plex pass, and I donated to Jellyfin as well. Looking forward to the day I can uninstall Plex and no longer worry about them potentially giving my data to Media companies so they can sue for piracy
