- Comment on Study: Dark matter does not exist and the universe is 27 billion years old 8 months ago:
Ok. Smarter people probably thought of this, and probably found my hypothesis to be impossible. But what if… It is the the other way around. What if photons are losing energy because they are expanding spacetime. Like tiny little springs expanding out.

And now that you are showering while you are showering, you should brush your teeth while you are showering while you are showering.
- Comment on OpenAI Quietly Deletes Ban on Using ChatGPT for “Military and Warfare” 10 months ago:
I will say that they still store and use your data some way. They just haven’t been caught yet.
Anything you have to send over the internet to a server you do not control, will probably not work for a infosec minded legal team.
- Comment on You can only pick one 10 months ago:
I think it would be like drawing. If you don’t have aphantasia and have an epic image in mind, and basically only be able to put it down in stick figures.
In this case, you might know what strings to press and how hard to strum those strings. But you still need to get your fingers on those strings without tangling them and know how to pluck and strum them.

My god. We don’t deserve dogs if we are not adjusting Pavlov’s reputation for this.
- Comment on Any recommendations for a career change? 11 months ago:
Trowing in my 2 cents. I am currently an AWS cloud “engineer”. I put it in quotes because the market is wild. In one place you actually design a landing zone for the company to use. In others you are a glorified support plus ops, but still get paid decently because the title is in demand and you passed a few multiple choice quizes from Amazon.
My current workplace has 99% in python. But this can also vary between companies.
Of course, this varies per region. I am in the Netherlands and our department has perpetually 3 job offers open.
- Comment on Why aren’t motherboards mostly USB-C by now? 11 months ago:
Yeah that is true. But I was more or less portraying that customers gonna custom-er. And PCs will be RMA-ed for stupid reasons no matter what. And usb-a also had customers confused, sure c is worse. But don’t make it out to be that a was so magnificent. SuperSpeed, QC, trying to plug the male printer side into the ethernet port, different grades of cables for different speeds, expecting a bump in speed because they bought a ‘golden cable’ while their pc and peripheral were on usb 2.1, all these things are also in usb a forms.
Because I had all those conversation. The man was aware, yes. But wasn’t aware enough and too afraid to lose his precious data. (But wasn’t willing to pay for extra drives or remote storage. But that is a different story.)
- Comment on Why aren’t motherboards mostly USB-C by now? 11 months ago:
Don’t think this didn’t happen for people that wished to copy something from or to an external drive, and RMAd as they found it too be too slow. They plugged it into a black usb 2.0 port instead of a red one because they thought it was dangerous. Ow wait, no. That motherboard manufacturer used green usb ports for USB3.2. What do you mean you didn’t try it because you didn’t know what they were for? Your hard drive cable has blue plugs, didn’t you at least try the blue ports? No? I understand you don’t want to lose the data. Do you have a backup? … You should. Ok, well you can test it with the mouse or keyboard. Yes, the top two usb port do have the icons for those, but that doesn’t mean… Oh, you already put the pc in the mail. See you in 2 weeks then.
Also, switchable usb-a is already a thing, but is ver flimsy due to the necessity of moving parts.
- Comment on Windows PCs can't sleep properly, and Microsoft wants it that way 11 months ago:
Mine also did that, but with the added ‘benefit’ of forgetting how to turn on my graphics card when it did had to wake up at some point without my input.
Fun times…
- Comment on Why does some social media platforms calls it an "account suspension" but others calls it a ban or something else? 1 year ago:
A lot is about the temporality of the word. I would like to add the psychology as well. It is to lessen the blow when confronted with the news your account got banned. Using the words ‘suspended indefinitely’ for it has a different impact:
Your account got banned.
Your account has been suspended indefinitely until further notice.
It is the same reason why we like to say someone has passed away, instead of died. Or we like to use lobbying for bribery.
- Comment on good alternatives to raspberry pi which are cheap and efficient? 1 year ago:
But you can still get a bunch of good ones on the second hand markets. Also, NUCs are still a thing. Intel deemed the formfactor mature enough too pull out themselves and leave it too the partners to develop further.

- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 1 year ago:
Burning man should become Burried man. Everybody should dig a hole and burry the wood. That is carbon capture.
I am not an expert. So this could just be a naive take. I wouldn’t be surprised burying wood actually amplifies the carbon emissions due to some reactions with soil, or something.
- Comment on Why is everyone so giddy about the flooding thay happened at burning man? 1 year ago:
What are fossil fuels other than captured carbon from plants and animals from long ago?
Rereleasing carbon is the problem now. Wood being sustainable needs the a non-surplus in carbon emissions to begin with.
