- Comment on faen 3 days ago:
It probably is real. Google Translate gets updated and translations change over time. It used to translate “inglasat uterum” (Swedish) as “glazed uterus.”
It means glass-encased veranda.
It no longer translates it to that.
- Comment on Can Tesla's Self-Driving Software Handle Bus-Only Lanes? Not Reliably, No. 6 days ago:
If the road is marked as bus only, surely it’s still bus only? That’s how it works here at least, road signs etc. are applicable until removed. Doesn’t matter if it’s still there because government forgot to remove something. You obey the signs because they keep the roads safe.
- Comment on What AI Thinks It Knows About You | What happens when people can see what assumptions a large language model is making about them? 1 week ago:
Figures that a slop company’s CEO wouldn’t have words of his own, rather have the machine generate slop for him, but this stuck out
We can’t stop the bus, but we can steer it …
What a bullshit statement. It’s not that you can’t stop it, but rather that you won’t stop it. It’s an active choice you’re making, and not a compulsion like in the case of a kleptomaniac. Machine learning isn’t some natural force, it’s entirely man-made and we can stop whenever we want.
No, you’re not uncontrollable kleptomaniacs, you’re just doing the same shit the rich elite has always done; you exploit the world around you and you get away with it scot-free.
- Comment on Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online 1 week ago:
I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking here. I do not use any bridge between the two, but rather searched in separate communities for my answer. Would’ve been lovely if I could just use a search engine to search indexed forums or so, but since for some reason chat clients have taken the place of forums that’s just not doable.
I’d like to move away from Discord but sadly a bunch of friends still use it.
- Comment on Researchers Scrape 2 Billion Discord Messages and Publish Them Online 1 week ago:
I spent nearly three hours today between discord and matrix trying to figure out how to get these two pieces of software to talk using a certain protocol.
Imagine if there were online indexable platforms where people could publish this information so it’s easily accessible rather than having to scour through message logs hoping to find the right keywords. Such a technology surely doesn’t exist already, right?
I hate discord.

I guess I’ve pictured electricity a bit too much like water. I still don’t quite get how or why this works, but it’s really cool that it does!
That said I’ve no plans on messing around with that kind of thing as I’m terrified of electricity. I electrocuted myself as a kid and that experience stuck. Rather like I did to the dough hooks I stuffed into an extension cord.

Yay for Neo-Nazis in government. :(
- Comment on Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US 1 week ago:
Huh, the wiring just supports power spontaneously coming from an exit point rather than an entry? Is that commonplace?
Either way, that’s fascinating! Thanks for taking the time to enlighten me!
- Comment on Github Discussion: Allow us to block Copilot-generated issues (and PRs) from our own repositories #159749 1 week ago:
Microsoft is so deep in the AI nonsense that asking them to stop pushing CoPilot is time wasted that could be better spent on something else, like moving to a different platform. I honestly don’t really see the point of remaining on GitHub. To me at least it doesn’t offer anything particularly important I can’t get elsewhere.
- Comment on Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US 1 week ago:
I’m paying $850/mo. for my 2-roomer, with a glassed in balcony. Would definitely forego my balcony if I could pay only 350 for it, but that’s a pipedream. $500 upcharge for a balcony is nuts.
Then again, my dear friend spontaneously got her rent increased by like $1500/month a couple years back, and that sort of practice would be illegal where I live, so I could see how charging $500 more per month for a balcony would be a thing.
- Comment on Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US 1 week ago:
I’ve never heard of balcony solar panels, much less ones you plug right into an outlet? Asked my German roomie and he’s got no clue either.
How does plugging a power source into an outlet work? I’m no electrician, so that sounds bananas to me.
- Comment on Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the US 1 week ago:
Visa marriages! I think here in Sweden at least it’s not super difficult to get permanent residency via cohabitation, and cohabitation doesn’t even require any particular paperwork. Granted, it’s been a while since I looked into it, and with a government that’s all chummy with the alt-right our immigration rules have gotten tighter, so things might’ve changed.
I’m hoping with the massive anti-US sentiment going right now, that the next government won’t be right wing.
- Comment on A Medicaid researcher attacked by Elon Musk's DOGE just killed herself 1 week ago:
Last month, he was rehired only to be fired a second time — after courts ruled some of Trump’s layoffs illegal, then legal again.
Fucking hell.
- Comment on doctors 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. I’ve a friend who kept getting dismissed by the doctors when they came with worries about their heart, because they were diagnosed with generalised anxiety. Apparently if you’re living with anxiety you’re also immune to heart problems!
Doesn’t help that someone close to them died because of late medical intervention, which only happened because the person’s partner insisted that they fake a fainting episode as the medical system had repeatedly dismissed them when previously asking for help with their problem. Everything was fine and dandy until they didn’t pass out, then oops, too late to treat the cancer, have a nice rest of your life.
Can’t even blame individual doctors though, I think it has a lot to do with understaffing and overworking. The people who matter aren’t cared for and thus can’t properly care for the people they are obliged to care for. It all serves the bottom line of the elite because they can pocket more money.
- Comment on Pope Leo XIV appeals for no more war in first Sunday blessing 2 weeks ago:
His personal convictions don’t matter as much as the philosophies his ilk tout and pander to. The anti-women, anti-LGBTQ rhetoric smacks heavily of Catholicism.

- Comment on Paradox Interactive's return-to-office policy may be driving employees away from the studio 4 weeks ago:
Aye. My company has three offices, and people are allowed (and encouraged) to use those as necessary. People do enjoy the social aspect too, hell even I do, but I do best working from home. I’ve worked in offices previously and while I can manage it for a time, I eventually burn out. I don’t exactly wish to burn out so for me to be a functioning member of society I genuinely need work from home.
- Comment on Paradox Interactive's return-to-office policy may be driving employees away from the studio 4 weeks ago:
Good. Return to office is evil and needs to be stopped.

- Comment on Discord Begins Testing Facial Scans for Age Verification 1 month ago:
Oooh. Always interested in Godot stuff. Resonite is currently on Unity, but in a while they’re throwing Unity out the window. It’s just the audio system that’s coupled to Unity at the moment.
Resonite is small and friendly. Highly recommended.

- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 month ago:
Which is why we need to get off corpo platforms. A corporation will never care for people or look out for people’s best interests, it only ever cares about finances going up, and will put that before everything. An authoritarian regime wanting to censor their genocide? Absolutely. Fuck the victims, it’s more important that our pockets are well lined.
Bluesky is just twitter. It’s the same bullshit with a different recipe. It’ll never be a good platform.
