Fucking yikes
- Comment on Bus company’s urgent probe after driver called for wheelchair-user who reported discrimination to be shot 1 week ago:
This is done serious mismanagement on part of Arriva. Why the actual fuck would you put the onus of educating personnel on the guy they have been mistreating for years?
You are a global multi billion dollar company. Get some actual consultants in.

The terfs will not be missed.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but this suit about a different matter (access to source code) which is a user right in the license. It’s the whole point of the GPL. In this suit the users (ie. The buyers of the devices that have received the binary distribution) obviously have standing.
The problem with relicensing is that the “authors” of a creative work (remember, this is copyright law) are changing the terms of the distribution, and the authors are allowed to do that. The issue at hand is whether the person doing the changing of the terms is allowed to make this change on behalf of “the authors”.
The users may be impacted by this decision, but they are not a part of the decision making process. Hence, no standing.
What you need in a relicensing is someone that asserts (co-) authorship of the work. That’s a much taller order.

That’s true, but only contributors have standing to do something about it. Unless there are contributors with contributions that are not easily patched out that are willing to make a case out of it, we’re stuck with the last GPL version.
- Comment on Huawei shows off AI computing system to rival Nvidia's top product 2 weeks ago:
Oh absolutely. The NV equivalent is priced at multiple millions of dollars. If you can get it.
- Comment on Huawei shows off AI computing system to rival Nvidia's top product 2 weeks ago:
I edited with a bit more context. They are mostly just product identifiers.
Unobtainium just nerd speak for “things that are nominally available but impossible to actually get your hands on”. It’s rooted in sci fi tropes that are in themselves very interesting but besides the point right now.

People will fall over each other to explain exactly why these cops are no match for H100/B100, but that’s besides the point. For a lot of people out there the good NV stuff is basically unobtainium anyway.
This is a big deal.

But it’s funded by an unrepentant homophobe! How can you pass on that?!
- Comment on hubris go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 3 weeks ago:
This PhD mostly uses it to summarize emails from the administration. It does a shit job, but it frees up time for more science so who cares.
The real irony is that the administration probably used AI to write the emails in the first place. The mails have gotten significantly longer, less dense and the grammar has gotten better.
Begin this AI arms race has.

- Comment on Gaza civil defence says Israeli strikes kill over 30 as truce talks deadlocked 4 weeks ago:
Nitpick, ICC deals with individuals.
Israeli leaders should be dragged in front of the ICC. Israel should be hauled in front of the ICJ.
Reporters don’t have to choose, both tribunals are a short tram ride away from each other.

Why the actual fuck are there more than 1300 people working on those shitty ass sites?
- Comment on Microsoft blocks emails that contain ‘Palestine’ after employee protests 2 months ago:
It’s obviously intended to prevent employees from planning future actions.

Personal email? I haven’t gotten a personal message over email in almost a decade.
