- Comment on EU Council has withdrawn the vote on Chat Control 1 week ago:
That’s not true at all, mathematically. That’s why we have a measurement for co-variance or correlation. If two dimensions are 100 correlation, they can most definitely be reduced to one.
- Comment on Online Content Is Disappearing 1 month ago:
Yes. The whole post is a trick with statistics. Web pages have a limited lifespan. You can do the aame trick with human life spans.
“50 % of humans that lived 60 years ago are now dead”. You would tweak the numbers to be factual but something like that makes sense to me.
If you only keep the samples you started out with, of course it’s going to decline over time. The data is guaranteed to not grow since nothing is ever added.

It’s right there in the name . WINamp
- Comment on Nearly all Nintendo 64 games can now be recompiled into native PC ports to add proper ray tracing, ultrawide, high FPS, and more 1 month ago:
I don’t think n64 did. They even had major frame drops in many games.
- Comment on After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year 1 month ago:
It’s worth noting though, that Spotify has been bleeding money since the start. I know they my be wasting a lot of money on side hustles but still. They’re not raking home any money. The only way the founders got rich is by the overinflated stock price.

But Jay Z made that version too, knowing fully that the distributer can choose which pegi-level they want to use - rather than blocking the song altogether, or worse bleeping the bad language.
You can choose which pegi-level you use in the software, maybe your system is set up to defaults?
I think it’s weird to blame this on Spotify…

But there is an atmosphere. There are huge sand storms on Mars.

Leap years aren’t every four years though, just FYI.
- Comment on Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024 4 months ago:
But it actually makes sense with technology. If you need help, you want there to be a large community and corpus of knowledge to draw from.
- Comment on Music Piracy Is Back, Baby 4 months ago:
Music is getting worse though. Spotify is bloating all searches with stuff you don’t want. The “Artist top songs” is rarely the most popular songs and is limited to 10 song. In the beginning you could list all the songs from an artist and sort it on “Plays”.
- Comment on The EU common charger : USB-C 5 months ago:
I think Americans have bigger issues to deal with than chargers or net neutrality (e.g. playing world police, or starving children, abortion laws). Thankfully the EU can step up.

Csv are easy to open in any spreadsheet software. You can even copy/paste it straight into some of them, e.g. LibreOffice Calc
- Comment on YouTube's plan backfires, people are installing better ad blockers 7 months ago:
This doesn’t make sense because they have the monopoly on video now. By monetizing a bit they are creating a a huge demand for a competitor, risking their monopoly.
- Comment on xkcd #2846: Daylight Saving Choice 8 months ago:
And it’s nice to know that the sun is actually at its highest at noon and its lowest at midnight. Seems weird to me to decide that 13:00 is when the sun is highest…

Why would we still be counting Earth years when we leave Earth?
- Comment on Microsoft now pops up a poll asking why you'd want to use another browser when you download Chrome 8 months ago:
The latest estimate of how many people that use the internet at all is around 5 billion. Where did you get that number?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Internet_usage
Android is by far the most used operating system for web use and for servers it’s estimated at 77 % linux, not 50 % as stated above.

Windows dominated the desktop segment, you should realize that desktop use is in decline in favor of mobile usage.
