Me walking up to you
And whisper in your eager ear
You whisper back to me
And he begins to see, he feels the claw is near
Certainly nöt.

No AI needed for that. These bloody librarinans wouldn’t let us have the Necronomicon either. Selfish bastards…

- Comment on Welcome to the thunderdome? 1 week ago:
Yes. French actually is a 100% successor of the local vulgar latin. There’s no “native” French that’s somewhere in the bowels of the language; no celtic (“gallicus”) roots to be found there.
- Comment on Linux Distros Designed for Former Windows Users Are Picking Up Steam | Linux Journal 1 week ago:
It might. I just don’t see any use in it. Says a former Linux advocate. Don’t get me wrong, I’m writing this on a Debian stable machine, I’d never even think of using anything else for a daily driver and have been doing so for 25 years, but Windows users will be Windows users and I don’t see any reason to adapt Linux to their needs. Or to that bundle of vague illusions that they believe to be what they need. The evolution of Windows has produced such a horrible, parasitic product that its’ users don’t see

- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 1 week ago:
I was just getting seriously into CAAD, VR and visualization when I switched from NT to 2k - and to Linux on my second machine. I had Blender (still proprietary of NaN, then) importing DXF files via network share and render them in the backgroud while I was working on the next drawing on my W2k machine. Nobody understood what the heck I was doing but the visualisations (and even an animation in real 3D - gasp!) were quite a killer back then…

The only two incarnations of Windows I found to be acceptable were NT4 and W2k. Anything later was mostly a step into the wrong direction.

What does making sense have to do with MS-Windows?
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
I think you’re overinterpreting a bit. Actually the MS-droid doesn’t really say anything. Just that the taskbar is not movable. Which was exactly the question.Typical evasion strategy.
- Comment on Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft 2 weeks ago:
building the taskbar from scratch meant that they had to cherry-pick things to put into the feature list first, and the ability to move the taskbar didn’t make the cut, for several reasons that Microsoft values.
Translation: Nobody really knows (or wants to take the blame), we probably just forgot to put on the feature list. Anyway, I’ll just use the usual vague weasel-words that don’t really mean anything.

That’s what the Platonians want you to believe. Fools! Blind, dumb followers of the Athenian sophistry! Socrates was innocent!

Easy. It’s Atlantis. Not only Americans would fail here, also ancient Greeks because they located Atlantis somewhere in the Aegean sea where an undersea quake sunk a couple of islands. Claiming Atlantis was lost and can’t be found, of course, is cheap. It takes the illuminated mind of a trained alchemist to see the truth behind the blindwork of the temple knights and the dark forces of the Vatican.

- Comment on Sans serif fonts are woke because they're easier for dyslexics to read 3 weeks ago:
Sans serif is fine for signs, headlines, single-word content. Not so fine for text blocks, paged text, columns because it does not provide the horizontal guide that serifs provide.
- Comment on Sans serif fonts are woke because they're easier for dyslexics to read 3 weeks ago:
There are a couple of fonts to make reading easier for various groups - visually impaired, dyslexics etc. I am not sure Calibri was designed specifically for any of them. The main problem is that there’s not the one font tht fits all.

You don’t seem quite comfortable with the idea of non-Americans giving as much of a fuck about America as Americans give about anyone else.

- Comment on The U.S. patent for MP3 audio was granted on this day in 1996 — laid the foundations for peer-to-peer music sharing, iTunes, and today's streaming services 5 weeks ago:
Utter bullshit. What does the registration of a US patent have to do with anything? MP3 became part of the (international) MPEG standard in 1992, it was first introduced in 1991 and developed by the Fraunhofer Institut in Germany. The iśsuing date of the US patent is just some buraeucratic detail, it doesn’t have anything to do with the actual development and availability of the standard or the algorithm.
