He was quoting (allegedly) Bernard of Chartres, thereby standing on his shoulders, interestingly.

That sounds absolutely plausible and is thus now incorporated as Truth into my memory of the goings-on.
- Comment on Automattic CEO calls Tumblr his 'biggest failure' so far 1 day ago:
Porn on tumblr was an early victim of credit card companies not wanting to be associated with that filthy filth, like what happened recently with videogames. Iirc, they pressured app stores to take the tumblr app down.
- Comment on Automattic CEO calls Tumblr his 'biggest failure' so far 1 day ago:
Who’d’ve thunk that not only doing everything your userbase does not want but also actively bullying a large portion of that userbase into leaving wouldn’t create revenue? No, being quirky on main and self-deprecating every once in a while won’t change that.

Other kind internet strangers have already helped me but thank you :)

Good lord, I was wrecking my brain about what you were even saying, hah. I know nothing about the makers of AI slop videos other than that they fucking annoy me but anyone suggesting that they’re somehow all members of any one specific group of people can fuck right off.

Wait. Did you interpret “they” as “((((they))))” or something? ಠ_ಠ

Sorry, I don’t know what you’re asking.
- Comment on How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics? 1 day ago:
The people making loads of AI slop videos. Or what are you asking? I don’t have any names.
- Comment on I don't think so 1 day ago:
I’m assuming it’s the same root, yes. “Folklore” in German means the same thing, although we pronounce it differently. Don’t ask me why we don’t spell it “Volklore” - if I had to guess, I’d say the term is older than the spelling “Volk”, not least because “Lore” on its own doesn’t exist (anymore) in German.
- Comment on YSK: there's a lite version of DuckDuckGo 1 day ago:
Huh. I did not know you could do that, I was trying to figure out how to add it in the settings. I’ve been helped by the other kind internet stranger but this is valuable knowledge too, thank you.
- Comment on YSK: there's a lite version of DuckDuckGo 1 day ago:
Ahh, the wildcard was what stumped me. Thank you, works like a charm!
- Comment on YSK: there's a lite version of DuckDuckGo 1 day ago:
What does “adding” it mean? Talk to me like I’m stupid.
- Comment on YSK: there's a lite version of DuckDuckGo 1 day ago:
Firefox. I feel a bit stupid right now because I can’t figure this out.
- Comment on I don't think so 1 day ago:
We do still use the word though, without associating it with the Third Reich at all. It’s a neutral way to refer to ethnicities for example. “Wir sind das Volk” (“we are the people (of this country)”) means the sovereignty of the people.
“Völkisch” however is tainted (and when non-Germans use “Volk”, it is indeed at least suspicious).

(it burns, it hurts our eyeeees)
Huh. That is indeed interesting. Have you figured out how to use this version as browser default?

It doesn’t matter that these niche topics don’t get many views because making them requires no effort. They’re throwing everything at the wall and some of it will stick, even if it’s just for a little while.

I don’t get it.

That sign can’t stop me because I can’t cook (let alone properly).

Well if you tell me to use only three categories and one of them will obviously be “meat”, then I won’t put them with apples.

People putting them in salads, for one.

Oh crumbs, foiled again! You saw through my devious plan to discredit this pizza place as not real and then buy the land it’s on for cheap to build AI data centres on it and gobble up all the water in the area and replace it with this serum that turns humans into giant crabs to do my bidding and conquer the universe for me! And I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for you meddling kids!
- Comment on You mean there's a better way‽ 5 days ago:
Fake. Probably AI. I hate these misleading “life hacks” that just make you feel stupid when you try them and inevitably fail spectacularly. There is no way to open pizza boxes like that because that’s simply not how they work and whoever made this video knows this perfectly well.

I know so very little about all this, I can only take people’s word for anything. ¯\(°_o)/¯
- Comment on Full list of areas in the UK targeted in ‘dodgy’ Fire TV stick crackdown 5 days ago:
The German version of that very article says it’s not possible. Now what? w(°ｏ°)w
- Comment on Full list of areas in the UK targeted in ‘dodgy’ Fire TV stick crackdown 5 days ago:
That’s (probably…?) an urban legend that used to be common knowledge in Germany as well (I remember my dad telling me about the vans). They SAY it’s not possible to detect TV reception like that buuut…

I specifically liked the linguistics aspect, wrapping my head around the languages, but this does look interesting too so thanks for that :)

I. Love. This. Game. SO MUCH.
Devastated when it was over.
