Is it?
- Comment on Why is there so much separation in the USA between people who identify as "black" or "white" compared to other regions like South America? 3 days ago:
Caucasian itself is a very US term, in the sense that most of so called caucasians aren’t as white as northern europeans. Indians are caucasians, northern africans are caucasians, caucasians are caucasians, southern europeans, turks. Most of these people are ‘white’ but not ‘US white’.

That’s because most of latin america is mixed with huge percent of population being mestizos. When almost everyone can claim that they are white/black skin color becomes irrelevant. And they were colonized by different people with different culture.
- Comment on Is using MicroSD cards a good way to store data that you can destroy quickly incase an adversary is about to seize control of it? 4 days ago:
Soldiers don’t look for your sdcards, they shoot people. If you are planning on moving through block posts where your things are cheked it’s better for you not to have weird sdcards either broken or not. But you can have one in your phone. There are ways to hide encrypted data so it won’t be detected e.g. veracrypt hidden volumes.

I really like this the most corrupt or whatever labels. 😺
Like there were no situation where I needed to bribe anyone in my whole life, it’s not like it was impossible or didn’t exist, but everything worked absolutely the same with or without bribes. Out of three times I was outside of the country all three times I’ve been expected as in it was plainly stated to give a bribe in Romania Poland and Mexico.
They are less corrupt or more corrupt or same-corrupt, who knows. Just an anecdote.

I’ve seen one or two that run for a short time, but they became slow and incoherent fast.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 1 week ago:
There are truly open llm, there are somewhat open. If you are asking about firefox translate, it seems that models themselves weren’t trained by mozilla.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 1 week ago:
Firefox translate isn’t an llm afaik. Anyway, why wouldn’t they? LLMs aren’t inherently good or bad, they are useful, and pushing for offline local first ai is a good thing.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 1 week ago:
There is no ai in ai, it’s just a program. In case of firefox translations it was made specifically for machine translation and later adapted to use with firefox browser.
- Comment on Why's everyone freaking out about Firefox Terms of Service? Isn't it Open Source? 1 week ago:
Actually translations are great and they were needed.

It’s bad, you need to twist the wire strands together, use flux. In general look up some video guide on soldering they explain it pretty good. Anyway it’s not a brain surgery just practice.

Doesn’t seem to work, maybe I’m doing something wrong.

You can try to improve yourself instead of saying that you aren’t able to do something.
- Comment on Why do most Americans use an iPhone? 2 weeks ago:
You can use it with wifi, I just view phones as computers, so not using them for whatever is weird to me. If someone wants to download torrents they should go for it.
- Comment on Hetzner announces price hike for cloud servers and bandwidth cut of up to 95% 2 weeks ago:
Well it not like they burn constantly they only burned
oncetwice! As for the 2fa problem, I’ve missed it because it was activated already. They are mostly okay now, I think my company lost a few millions when they burned (all our infrastructure was there). - Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 2 weeks ago:
It always says there is no lyrics, do I need to do something for it to work?
- Comment on Hetzner announces price hike for cloud servers and bandwidth cut of up to 95% 2 weeks ago:
ovh has everything (i think) mentioned, they also have inexpensive baremetal servers. They also have shitty ui. 😄
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 2 weeks ago:
True, also no support for cue sheets, search is bad and no lyrics.

- Comment on Make your complaints heard about bad games, says Dragon Age veteran Mark Darrah, but "your $70 doesn't buy you cruelty" 2 weeks ago:
When you celebrate layoffs at a studio because the game that you don’t like didn’t do that well, you’re crossing a line
No you don’t? If you do a bad job and get fired for it, it’s not crossing the line just consequences of doing bad job. Your circumstances aren’t really relevant here, just own your mistakes and move on.

Prophecy has come true. Do not host important information with hosters that advertise themselves as dmca ignoring, seedbox-friendly whatever. They will be sabotaged by police it’s just matter of time.

- Comment on How did people end-up agreeing on the name of rivers/mountains and seas ? 3 weeks ago:
There also are multiple rivers with danu root, that also means river: danube, donets, don. People aren’t exceptionally good at naming in general, so “hill” hill and “river” river. 😄
- Comment on How did people end-up agreeing on the name of rivers/mountains and seas ? 3 weeks ago:
They didn’t, a lot of shared places, or land features have different names in differsnt languages and different places. Agreements happen when something either didn’t have a name before, or when the name came from the past.
- Comment on Does Aphantasia exist for senses other than vision? 3 weeks ago:
Interesting, it might be just different or depend on what sense is more dominant. I can feel imaginary smells, but never felt imaginary taste.
