@ramble81@lemmy.zip make it so

Because it’s fun. Live a little.
- Comment on Trump to build huge $200mn ballroom at White House 1 week ago:
Bets on if it’ll have a throne.
- Comment on TikTok's new "Footnotes" feature brings community fact-checking to US videos 1 week ago:
Ban back on, then?
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 1 week ago:
Hate to say it, but that technical literacy from having to operate computers the difficult way was a small blip in history. So things are just kind of going back to “normal.”
The only real natural entry into “computing” is gaming. Pretty much everything else has to come through formal education, which is largely myopic and boring.
Don’t think I’ve even worked with a gen Z engineer yet. I assume they exist.
- Comment on The Age-Checked Internet Has Arrived 1 week ago:
I’ll take that bet. Probably won’t be effective, but I’m betting this shit is here to stay. There already hasn’t been enough push-back.
- Comment on MIT researchers have unveiled a portable, window‑sized device dubbed the atmospheric water harvesting window (AWHW) that can extract clean drinking water directly from air, even in death valley 1 week ago:
Interesting. That design sounds a lot like vapor chambers that cell phones use for cooling. Just, not sealed.
- Comment on oof 2 weeks ago:
You’re in the Science Memes comm. It’s self-deprecating.
- Comment on Have you ever been invited to a search party? 3 weeks ago:
Boots and pants. It wasn’t that fun. But we did get to ride quads so, actually it was a little fun.
- Comment on Valve are now removing a bunch of sex games from Steam to keep banks and card companies happy 3 weeks ago:
I think they fear regulation so much that they’re willing to be this proactive to keep Congress off their asses.
It’s still weird to me that they never seem willing to test the boundaries, though. They’ve got more lawyers and lobbyists than they know what to do with.
- Comment on The Netherlands explores turning rail wagons into hospitals for wounded soldiers 3 weeks ago:
I’ll consider joining the fight if it’s a Koploper that comes to my rescue.
- Comment on ‘An uphill battle’: why are midlife men struggling to make – and keep – friends? 4 weeks ago:
Those reporting 10 or more close friends decreased from 33% to 13% during the same period.
Do “normal” people really have 10 or more close friends? I’ve never had that many close friends my entire life.
- Comment on Google hit with $314m fine for collecting data from idle Android phones without permission 5 weeks ago:
Doesn’t sound like the suit was about the collection at all and just about the Yakuts transmission costing users mobile data usage.
Vague articles are vague.
- Comment on Trump Team Has Full Meltdown Over CNN Story on ICE-Tracking App 5 weeks ago:
decentralized + federated = defederated
Could it be any more clear? /s
- Comment on Can AI run a physical shop? Anthropic’s Claude tried and the results were gloriously, hilariously bad 1 month ago:
Current AI systems can perform sophisticated analysis, engage in complex reasoning, and execute multi-step plans.
No, not really

hmm, I was thinking about visiting Calgary this summer. What’s up with Alberta?
- Comment on Bill Gates and Linus Torvalds meet for the first time. 1 month ago:
I like to imagine they were just side-eyeing each other the whole time.
- Comment on Is Google about to destroy the web? 1 month ago:
I replaced the polonium with 1 cup of citrus juice. It was incredibly acidic and soggy. 3/5 because I still like cupcakes.
- Comment on Israel is poised to launch operation on Iran, multiple sources tell CBS News 1 month ago:
Seems like everybody is itching for it lately.
- Comment on Starlink Satellites Are 'Leaking' Radio Emissions 1 month ago:
The polarisation of the broadband emission shows the flux density of two orthogonal polarisations is anti-correlated with temporally shifting spectral structure observed.
lolwut

- Comment on Is it normal that I have this inner conflict of not knowing where I belong? 2 months ago:
I wonder what environments Americans dream of like maybe more like large roads or suburban type environments. Maybe more rural/warm nature type environments. (I guess it also heavily depends where you are from like city vs rural)
Here I am, as an American, dreaming of smaller roads and walkable cities.
Grass is always greener, maybe.
- Comment on Scientists in Japan develop plastic that dissolves in seawater within hours 2 months ago:
If the material has to be coated to keep it from breaking down too fast, what is the point?
Presumably you could only coat certain faces of the material (like ones touching food). Or maybe the coating could degrade in another more time-known fashion. So if the coating would be expected to last no more then 3 years then after the plastic could start to degrade.

- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 2 months ago:
With the help of gravity!
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 2 months ago:
The only reason I started using cases is because they made the latest Pixels so low friction that they refuse to stay put on most surfaces.
- Comment on The Engine of our dreams exists. It's Clean, Powerful, Supercharged and 2 Stroke 2 months ago:
A clean 2 stroke? Smells like bullshit. Is this video actually worth watching?
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 2 months ago:
I’ve been on the receiving end of these. It’s such a monumental time waster. All the reports look legit until you get into the details and realize it’s complete bullshit.
But if you don’t look into it maybe you ignored a real report…
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 2 months ago:
Contributors is my favorite metric. It shows that there are lots of eyes on the code. Makes it less likely of a single bad actor being able to do bad things.
That said, the supply chain and sometimes packaging is very opaque. So it almost renders all of that moot.

My damned skeleton is imprisoned by this meat.
