Good point. Touché.

As a third party I don’t think we should blame America for the genocide in Gaza. We should blame Israel. We are all complicit (and way worse of course being a sponsor) by not calling it out.

You did vote though? Right? Right?
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 3 weeks ago:
Not if you ask them but taking the time to design a system that isn’t reliant on a strong client (and then open sourcing it) would probably be more secure, and obviously more inclusive.
For instance, I’m very eager to switch to a lknux phone but having blockers like this is forcing me to stay on Android, even though I am sick and tired or the enshittification.
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 3 weeks ago:
Or even run the app as is on a “non-compliant” os - like a rooted android.
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 3 weeks ago:
What I meant was that the phone operating system has SDKs (e.g. google services on android) which the app uses to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with, which makes it even harder to make an open source client.
It’s the opposite of supplying an SDK for third party developers.
- Comment on Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media 3 weeks ago:
They are using the phone SDKs to verify that BankID was correctly installed, much like any other client side DRM.

I say Pyramids ⊂ Cones. You say Cones ⊂ Pyramids. Therefore Cones = Pyramids.
- Comment on stacked 1 month ago:
No, a cone can have any flat shape as its base, wherefor a pyramid - which only has four sides - is also a cone.
- Comment on stacked 1 month ago:
A pyramid is just a cone with a square base.
- Comment on 10 years 1 month ago:
That’s not a simple shape. Why would people want to talk about it?

- Comment on ISPs tell Supreme Court they don’t want to disconnect users accused of piracy 1 month ago:
That’s not how pricing works. They already have the price they think makes them the most money. Raising prices means losing customers to competition, netting a loss.
So they would just lose 1000 customers and not raise the price because that would mean an even higher loss.
It’s different, of course when including that all ISPs would be hit with this. One can only speculate what will happen. All those pirates will want alternative ISPs, probably paying extra for privacy. The rest will stay in a dying market where competition for the remaining customers would be fierce, probably with lower prices.
- Comment on Slapping Chicken 2 months ago:
There are so many weird assumptions here. There is more than a hand moving when a slap is performed.
A skilled slapper could put more of their body weight behind the slap. I’d assume at least 40 kg or even more as the average slap.

Uhh and 100 ° C is also really hot.
- Comment on Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? 2 months ago:
Yep that’s perfect. They get to be the “farm hand” and get their own little cottge and everything! You can buy more cottages at the carpenter if you are more than two people.

Stardew valley has split screen support on PC!
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 2 months ago:
I have an alias that tries both names
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 2 months ago:
Redis, rabbitmq. There are infrastructure where all nodes work but only one node is responsible for properly and timely synchronizing changes, which is a hard problem to solve in a distributed fashion.
- Comment on If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"? 2 months ago:
Yes, both of those may already be servers
- Comment on New Cobalt-Free Silicon EV Battery Is The Best Thing Ever 2 months ago:
Interesting typo. Almost like a Freudian slip but with melting batteries instead.
- Comment on Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say 2 months ago:
It has similarities though, as pointed out in orher comments. For one, a user might be more careful with downvotes if they are afraid of negative consequences e.g. harassment. With piblic votes, there would therefore be a bias towards upvotes and and people abstaining from downvotes, i.e. less interaction in total.
Downvotes serve a purpose today, letting us quickly scan which comments are controversial or even harmful to the conversation. I, for one, usually sort most threads by votes and then skip the comments with many downvotes but for controversial topics, I instead seek out the comments that have both many upvotes and downvotes.
These would be harder to find given the above bias.

Maybe competitors are only up to 200 per year and these guys finally achieved 300 per year?
- Comment on EU Council has withdrawn the vote on Chat Control 4 months 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 5 months 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.

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 6 months 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.
