- Comment on YSK that if you are planning an outdoor event, you can check where the shade and shadows will fall on a given day and time 2 days ago:
As a design engineer you don’t have CAD software that can predict shading? It’s a pretty trivial function, acrtually. Also, you should know the procedure to construct proper shadows, but sure, that takes a lot more time than having them done by CAD.
- Comment on YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible. 4 days ago:
Don’t trust ars one inch as soon as they’re getting political. They’re highly manipulative.
- Comment on YSK: Condé Nast Parent Company is a Major Owner of Reddit, You Should Avoid their Publications (Wired, Ars Technica, GQ, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue,...etc) as Much as Possible. 4 days ago:
Ars technica is full of shit, too, as soon they’re even slightly off the tech trail. Even while on the tech trail they’re massively untrustworthy as soon as their owners’ interests are involved. I’ve kicked them out of my RSS reader long ago. If they really got something exciting I’ll get to know via slashdot, mastodon or feddit. Still I’m suspicious as I at least one time caught them intentionally spreading false information.

Always the last word, do you? Nevertheless you didn’t. Definitely not.

I want to be a tree too when I grow up!

No, I won’t.

No, you didn’t.
- Comment on Monty Python predicted social media 2 weeks ago:
Yes, it was. The headline make that absolutely clear.

No, they didn’t!

The same old song. Fascist voters believe that they will profit from fascism while only “the others” will be hurt. Idiots don’t realize that they are nothing but disposable assets to a fascist regime. That’s what fascism is all about.
- Comment on Speed Dreams 2.4.1 Flatpak package now available 4 weeks ago:
…and for those preferring reasonable package management: the project’s website has Debian packages and source code. Even installers for legacy operating systems that come as a gimmick with budget PCs can be found.
- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 1 month ago:
This one massively collided with the average social media victim’s absurdity filter, it seems. On reddit it most likely would have got you banned. People tend to destroy, hate or ban what they don’t understand…

Surprise, surprise. If only somebody had predicted this…
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 months ago:
Because he set the general, evil directions for MS. Like keeping users uninformed and locked in, smearing the competition, sabotaging open standards, taking your control over your hardware and data away from users, etc. All happened during evil Bill’s reign.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 months ago:
I’m running Linux everywhere incuding the machine I am writing on right now. I have one single dual boot machine with Windows 10 as the mainly used OS for the simple reason that I need to run one specific software (and some of the “ecosystem” around it) that is not available for Linux. The only alternative is Apple which is even worse in my opinion. So I think I’ll be forced to update. All the rest of my daily computing stuff has been moved to Linux for a long time.

I have now idea how somebody might come up with this braindead, unintuitive and irreproducable mnemonic for a JavaScript interpreter but it sounds very much like something Microsoft would do. - Comment on Javascript/Linux is what I call it 2 months ago:
Followed by a short period of separation of content and layout that was ended by returning to the stone age of client-specific Javascript. Another example of “why we can’t have good things”.
- Comment on JPMorgan researchers say they have generated and certified truly random numbers using a quantum computer, a world-first with potential security and trading uses. 2 months ago:
Translation: JPMorgan’s PR department claims something in the hope to profit from the quantum hype now that the AI bubble is expected to burst. Just read the article. Buzzwords and vague techno-babble inflating a story around a physics experiment that has generated some numbers under lab conditions. Probably. The process keeps unspecified but is a “milestone”, provides “power beyond that offered by the most powerful classical supercomputers” (washes even whiter than white!), “the randomness was mathematically certified to be genuine using classical supercomputers” (wow!). etc, etc…

- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 2 months ago:
I haven’t bought a single TV in my whole life and I haven’t missed anything important. Whenever I am somewhere where there’s a TV and I’ve got nothing better to do or I’m just curious I zap through the channels whithout finding anything remotely interesting or entertaining 99% of the time. I really wonder what people want with these ad-infestes, annoying trashcans. Aren’t you dumb enough, yet? Try heavy drinking. Preferrably methanol or break fluid…

Reddit is fucking dead, nowadays. You can’t seriously call that “living”. Ok, braindead at least
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 2 months ago:
I’ve been boycotting Amazon since the days when they were an ugly data grabbing bookstore and I’ll happily go on until the end of time.
- Comment on Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals 2 months ago:
OTOH, I’ve been using a HP laser printer for years and the last time I spent 40€ for toner was almost two years ago. Just stay away from shitty inksquirters or even shittier “multi-function-devices”. They are customer-rippoff devices without real use, nothing else. Honestly, if you think you need to print colorful, fuzzy pictures that will fade at the first streak of sunlight you probably had it coming.
