  “The” advancements?

  Like how it’s still experiencing too many errors to correct for and be useful for much of anything? Those advancements?

  Let’s take our money out of BTC and invest it in fusion power plants and jetpacks and hover boards instead.

  Yup. I was older, and the central nervous system automatic response of “mitigate harm, go to help” hit very hard.

  See? Fake hot takes in the media didn’t start with bots online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Except I don’t frequent those subreddits. Sometimes an unknown risky click just finds you through typically not gore-oriented means.

  For example, the video of ol’ Charlie Spurts getting it to the neck was all over Twitter for the first couple of hours after it happened. Link from a news site goes to the video, which was impossible to know what to expect until you see it.

  Plus, news sites show or lin to video of war deaths from Ukraine all the time. Video of illegal strikes on fishing boats where people are killed.

  Maybe people don’t realize what they’re seeing, but it seems disturbingly common for actual videos of actual deaths to just be regular news stories.

  No gate keeping. Shit, they only took the subreddit full of ISIS beheadings and Chinese industrial accidents down when they did their IPO.

  FFS, we all saw a woman get murdered 10 days ago from 7 different angles. If anyone genuinely thinks real time fascism is less fucked up than 2G1C, I invite them to get their head unfucked.

  I look forward to them being confronted with views they can’t just ask Elon to delete.

  But, let’s be real here, this is rage bait to track people using their first amendment rights in a way they don’t love. BSKY doesn’t need to give up anything on users. Users accessing BSKY ip addresses given up by their ISP will be more than enough for Palintir to find. A few links with trackers provide browser fingerprinting. Easy day for them.

  Be careful, y’all.

  Yo, they charge the non-Prime purple fucking $10 a month for it. Is that just the “ad-free tier” now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No, in Italian, the city’s name is Firenze, which is much cooler IMO than nasal EN/DE Florence. Which, TIL, is from the Latin Florenti, as in “Florentine” as the ajdectival form.

  What’s “Florenz”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Those have more straightforward transliterations. But where the fuck does the L even come from?

  Firenze was also the art and culture capitol of Europe for quite some time, so this isn’t some backwater town. It’s like the CCP telling people that New York is now officially called “Not Yoodle” in Chinese.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus the true downgrade of Firenze to “Florence.”

  No, that’s the point. I hadn’t eaten since lunch, so all i have is wine, maybe a touch of bile, and poop.

  Arsenic and mercury, both commonly occurring metals present in rocks, can kill humans immediately. Especially if vaporized. Uranium can kill and disable quickly in high enough concentrations.

  Also, keep in mind it’s a plot device about a fictional flying space alien with laser eyes. It doesn’t need to follow the laws of physics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not being passive at all.

  First off, the remark about French and 92 is a jab at French in particular. No other romance language for some reason stalls out at 70 and cobbles together the 80s and 90s. There is a modern word, IIRC “neufant” or something that’s closer to “nine tens.”

  To your point, base 10 counting, which we use because of how many fingers our species has. Whether we use base 8, 10, 12, etc. counting, the fact remains that all counting uses incremental increases like base 10.

  9 rolls over to 1 unit in the 10s column. 19 rolls over to 2 units in the 10s column.

  So if we say “4 x 20” instead of 80, were suddenly creating a second, nested, base 20 counting system (confusingly, using base 10 numbers!) within our usual base 10 system. So it’s the same in the sense that we are using numbers in general, but different in that it anchors the counting base in a weird way.

  Let’s say I run a restaraunt and make omlettes. I can make a 2 egg, 3 egg, or 4 egg omlette for you. But the 4 egg omlette is tiny. Why? Because for the 4 egg omlette I use quail eggs. But only for the 4 and 5 egg omlettes. Order a 6 egg omlette and you’re getting a half dozen chicken eggs in some 100 square meter omlette. Multiples of 4 and 5, always quail eggs. It’s sort of like that.

  Congratulations. You’ve just discovered how base 10 counting works.
