  Forgotten as usual. 😉

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luxury bones? In *this* economy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Debt is not a force of nature. Money is owed to someone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israel publicly announces genocidal intent⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A set of guiding principles from and all-knowing God is not what religion is. Maybe it’s what Abrahamic religions are, but there were religions before them and other religions even today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israel publicly announces genocidal intent⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think banning is a good answer. My own preferred solution is mandatory religious education. Once you learn about all of the religions of the world the idea that any of them could possibly be correct about either the nature of reality or deciding what is right becomes clearly absurd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Multiple Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Las Vegas and Kansas City⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I looked a few years ago when a friend of my partner got a Tesla a few years ago. Picking a color cost like €2000 or so.

  I always look on itch.io and GoG first!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hetzner announces price hike for cloud servers and bandwidth cut of up to 95%⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  $1 per month is expensive? 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The claim was “Email server owners don’t look at the content”. This is untrue since possibly the largest owner of email servers looks at the content to monetize the service. That’s all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What Would a Fair and Community-Focused Monetization Model on the Fediverse Look Like?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the largest email company is probably Google (maybe Microsoft). Google definitely looks at every email they receive for users!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GoneWild was once about people feeling wild and posting pictures of it. Now it's just OnlyFans sale⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Meh. I see both?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GoneWild was once about people feeling wild and posting pictures of it. Now it's just OnlyFans sale⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Enshittification is a particular outcome of a particular stage of capitalism.

  So, you’re “correcting” someone without them being wrong. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It shows you love them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know that you mean well, but you seeing your mother’s vote is exactly why mail in voting should be the exception. Voting booths exist so that votes ate secret, which is how it should be.

  My mom hates Trump since she thinks he’s crude, but I’m 99% sure that my dad voted for them both by mail in votes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germany hits 62.7% renewables in 2024 energy mix, with solar contributing 14%⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish people would stop conflating energy with electricity.

  So Germany had ⅔ of it’s electricity from renewables, but still has gas for warming homes, petrol for cars, diesel for trucks, and so on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got Caves of Qud on sale over at itch.io, and have been struggling to get anywhere. The learning curve is steep, so when it gets too much I go back to my Dwarf Fortress game that I started over Christmas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just discovered Mini Metro, a puzzle game where you have to create metro lines. Very addictive, but also chill, and currently 50% off on Steam⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I almost never pause. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Give us your best infodump.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure that I understand the benefit of “unnumbered” routing. It sounds like there are numbers (well, “identifiers”), just not IP addresses.

  It’s hard to know without more context, but you can use things like IPv6 multicast to manage reachability. This will let you set arbitrary sets of endpoints that talk to each other, and you can still us IP-based tools to debug connectivity, measure performance, and so on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple's controversial iPhone accessory may have been discontinued⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The article summary and the article both say “sold out”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar modules now selling for less than €0.06/W in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I’m considering buying a high power laser so I can send the energy back into space instead of paying the power companies for the privilege of giving them electricity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to reverse climate change won’t save us, scientists warn⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the Netherlands a number of cities were banning fossil fuel for deliveries in the city. It was in planning for years, easing into implementation.

  Our new government just scrapped all of those plans because the largest party doesn’t believe in climate change, and another party in the coalition is the “farmer’s movement” party and opposes environmental regulations.

  😢

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I work at a company big into AI. We build our own models. Our senior management drank the Kool-Aid. We don’t have search on our Intranet any more, just LLM chatbots.

  Our TLS certificate expired last week on our main web page. I tried to find the contact details for the team responsible and the thing just hallucinated e-mail addresses.

  Needless to say, I’m less excited than you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New largest prime number discovered by former Nvidia software engineer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are infinite prime numbers. This has been known for thousands of years. You can find numerous proofs of this online, and go through them until one makes sense to you.

  Also, quantum computers are on track to make division-based cryptography useless in the next decade or two. (Note that this only affects public key cryptography, and not shared key cryptography. So your online backups should be safe as long as you have a password for them.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Br*t*sh⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Scots are a violent, savage people. I was attacked there and beaten, and everyone I met on the rest of my week stay regaled me with stories of people they knew who had been similarly brutalized. “Oh yeah my sister got a kicking last week.” “My mate Barry tried to pull some geezers off a bird and then she helped them give him a kicking!” And on and on. Amazingly even more vicious than the English, which hardly seemed possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Br*t*sh⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except the water faucets (“taps”) come in pairs, one with cold water and one with hot. So, not so much like going into the future, but more like some primitive land too stubborn to change for the better in even the most straightforward, obvious ways. 😆

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bill Gates signed his pledge more than 10 years ago. His wealth doubled in the last 7 years, meaning that he’s gotten average increases of like 10% per year.

  Mr. Gates, you’re going the wrong way!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨7 years ago there were no billionaires worth more than $100 billion - today there are 18!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t Bill Gates sign a pledge to give all of his money away? And he is billions richer than last year? Huh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do all languages share the same intonation for questions?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m learning Chinese now and it seems to have a similar change in pitch as European languages when asking a question. 你说汉语吗？
