No, I’m not! What even is an argument? Who decides that?
- Comment on Change my mind 1 week ago:
Acutally I think you made a big error in this analysis
- Comment on Typing on a keyboard is kind of like sign language 1 week ago:
I thought about it. You’re right, I think. But even had I not thought about it, you’d still be right.

A real entrepreneur would say he’s an artisanal artist

and still there’s people that pretend perfection doesn’t exist
- Comment on Li-Ion fire safety, inert atmosphere 1 week ago:
As far as I understood lithium ion batteries still need oxygen from the air to burn.
This is incorrect.
The most common method for addressing a lithium-ion vehicle fire involves fully submerging the vehicle to allow the energy to dissipate as steam.
However, many underground parking facilities in my area are beginning to ban electric cars, as more fires start to occur, and retrofitting the necessary tanks to ensure fire safety is proving challenging.

Sad truth

Never learning to socialize with other kids their own age
Even when going through a normal education system, this would not happen. The difference in both ability and interests is so large that there’s little shared basis for socialization.
not getting taken seriously by adults until they’re much older.
Why do you think that’s the case?

- Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line. 1 week ago:
The line is “do you need to work ever to maintain at least the current living standard”
The answer would be “no” for most europeans. Cost of living in asia is around 400EUR a month, with a higher living standard.

In Belgium lower income people also tend to vote more extreme. It’s even shown that whenever extreme right parties grow, it’s usually because they convinced people that previously voted extreme left.
People who vote for the socialist party are typically retired or work for the government in some capacity.

Most people are a bit of both, no?
- Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally? 1 week ago:
We kill animals at their peak, and harvest them for meat.
That’s not the case. There’s even different words to the meat depending on the age the animal got slaughtered. There’a no single “peak”.

Would you walk a bear or would the bear walk you?
- Comment on Self hosted DNS 2 weeks ago:
Is there some way to self host what cloudflare does?
Your domain will always have to be rented through a 3rd party. Cloudflare is (or was?) one of the better choices for that.
Cloudflare does other things as well, most notably it can acts as a proxy: an inbetween between your server and the users. This inbetween can be useful against DOS attacks, blocking of bots, etc. But for most self hosters that part is not necessary. It’s a toggle in cloudflare’s DNS dashboard: I think you’d want it to say DNS only.
Another thing cloudflare can do is tunneling. It’s useful for when your server is behind a firewall or NAT or double NAT you can’t or don’t want to configure. You’d probably know if you use this, so I assume you don’t?
- Comment on Cloudflare is down this morning 2 weeks ago:
Is there any meta analysis on these major outages?
They seem to be occuring more and more regularly.

Hmm, I’ll rephrase. I fail to see the connecting thought between the list of random thoughts?

I struggle to see what question you’re asking?
- Comment on Reddit mod jailed for sharing movie sex scenes in rare “moral rights” verdict 2 weeks ago:
Someone once explained it to me.
Some poeple think the law should describe illegal behaviour. And that the law should apply the same to everyone.
But what happens in practice is that most people just want to be able to punish people they don’t like. So they don’t mind overly broad, generic laws, as in their mind it will only be used against the other.
And in practice the selective enforcement works for a long, long time, too. Untill a shift of power occurs, and now the same laws are enacted just as selectively, but directed differently. Then they surprise pikachu.

I’d assume they’re danish actors based on the article
- Comment on Reddit mod jailed for sharing movie sex scenes in rare “moral rights” verdict 2 weeks ago:
In Denmark, the “right of integrity means that even in cases where you are allowed to make use of a work, you are not allowed to change it or use it in a way or in a context that infringes the author’s literary or artistic reputation or uniqueness,” a resource for Danish researchers noted.
Infringes reputation is so sooo broad. It comes down to who does the judge like the most, no?
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 2 weeks ago:
commenter justifying why the EU is attempting to loosen their privacy laws.
They’re not?
They’re listing 2 possibilities:
Status quo: the whole AI (and tech in general) remains foreign controlled.
EU makes a change in GDPR Law
Maybe you can add a third option, like: “Perhaps GDPR law isn’t the reason why the tech sector in EU is so non-existant”, and a constructive conversation could’ve been had.
Has anything I’ve written even read like I’m forming a group of like minded people, virtue signaling, and running the other person out of town?
Yes.
when I’m clearly responding to what the person wrote and only what the person wrote
That’s sadly incorrect. You responded to an incorrect assumption made about the original comment.
- Comment on Why do so many services require email configuration? 2 weeks ago:
Depending on 3rd parties is a pain in the ass
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 2 weeks ago:
explaining something no one asked to be explained, sort of gave away their opinion with their explanation
I understood that point of view. I just don’t agree, at all! I prefer factual conversation, describing the dilemma. OP demonstrated that they understand that the problem has multiple tradeoffs.
coloring the loss of privacy laws for the betterment of AI companies as a good or necessary thing (like the original commenter did).
The original commenter didn’t do that? They described the tradeoff.
I think you prefer tribal, coloured conversation. To the point where if it doesn’t match your preferred colour, you very quickly and incorrectly assume people are anti your colour?
- Comment on Nextcloud plans to invest over €250 million in digital sovereignty 2 weeks ago:
Sadly, my experience is the same
- Comment on Nextcloud plans to invest over €250 million in digital sovereignty 2 weeks ago:
Good luck to them!
- Comment on Surprise EU rollback of 'GDPR' digital-rights rules prompts alarm 2 weeks ago:
Explaining something no one asked to be explained without providing an opinion on the subject itself reads like tacit approval.
Do some people’s brains really work like that? I prefer it when people simply describe a problem, instead of making it all tribal and mixing reality with opinion!

The quality of discourse on lemmy is fucking dire.
Amen. A large fraction of the people on lemmy lack empathy and the ability to consider other viewpoints in general. Very closed minded crowd.

DeepSeek is it’s own model, designed and trained from ground up. It’s a novel architecture even. Impressive work.
It’s not a ‘stolen from the US’ model.
