  Dated, not outdated. Or do I totally have the meaning of the word wrong?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Dated does not mean obsolete. But it’s hard to deny a digital clock is superior in almost every way.

  Unlike the other examples you’re giving, I fail to see in what aspect an analog clock beats a digital one. Sure they have a certain charm, but functionally their just behind their digital counterpart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't fix the problem just change the parameters⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Analogue clocks are a great example of kids having to understand a concept and apply it. And it’s simple enough that anyone can learn it.

  I often see examples where children are required to memorize a set solution, instead of showing understanding and reaching the solutions themselves.

  These clocks are somewhat dated, but removing them just feels like another symptom of a failing educational system.

  This guy is so desperate to be called the first trillionaire, it’s just really pathetic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are we living in a golden age of stupidity?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems you already lost some oxygen supply

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are we living in a golden age of stupidity?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  you would cease to function if oxygen suddenly went away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  According to you logic, I shouldn’t even go to the store.

  Why am I doing free labor when someone can pick it up and deliver it for me?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Stuff would he cheaper if we get rid of cashiers. So I would actually be earning money.

  Maybe stores should introduce a self scan discount.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Grab a scanner, scan while picking up items, pay and leave store.

  It’s barely any extra “labor” and no need for useless jobs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you secure your home lab? Like, physically? From thieves?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just put a big sticker on it signifying it has a tracker inside.

  Even if they would want to steal it, it might just make them doubt enough to leave it be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t consider that, indeed. Bonus points for reading comprehension.

  USA is the only country where I hear the president say that green needs to go and fossil fuels are the way to go.

  Showing a snapshot of coal usage also makes no sense in this context. A country cannot just drop fossil fuel from one day to the next. If you check relevant data, you’ll see that the share of green fuel is actually rising in China.

  Sadly, the industry is still very corrupt, where USA is he prime example, with the president is pretty much admitting to it publicly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Windmill': China tests world’s first megawatt-level airship to capture high winds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  USA is pretty much the biggest country actively fighting against better methods in favor of fossil fuels, so I’d say it’s an accurate statement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dinner is ready! ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fabled green land

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A ‘demoralizing' trend has computer science grads out of work — even minimum wage jobs. Are 6-figure tech careers over?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just like AI can write code, it can also design, architect, implement and test…badly

  No manager cares about validation. Today’s mindset seems to be “ship now, fix later”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Dan Da Dan" Season 3 Announced⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t think I’m really spoiling much by saying he’s pretty much present all the time in the manga.

  Although I find he becomes a lot more tolerable than how he was initially represented.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, Windows 11 added extra, unneeded hardware requirements.

  Obsolete in this case actually means obsolete. Windows 11 literally blocks the update because you do not meet requirements, such as not having a TPM.

  Technically, there are ways to bypass this, but not for a casual user (and it probably breaks some ToS)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a self-hosted project that does base64 url decoding in a privacy respecting fashion?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no such thing as a base64 encoded url. Part of an url might hold base64 encoded data, but never the url itself.

  These online tools aren’t working because you’re using them wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Very edgy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a dumb comparison, as their reason for owning guns is entirely different and tied to national defense, not self-defense and “freedom”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This simply doesn’t work anymore for all apps on my Pixel 8.

  Many I installed manually just redirect to the Play store with the message it could harm your device and you should download from Play.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK 4get is a privacy respecting proxy search engine that can be self hosted⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Self hosted or not, I refuse to support a dev that okay with racial slurs, gay bashing and women hate.

  And those are just from the first three comments I read in this post…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HDMI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How didn’t you spot it? This one is especially obvious

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buying bread⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And as usual in Belgium, the German language isn’t represented at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Informative review ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re referring to “bubble foam tea”, which refers to the foam.

  “Bubble tea” is something different and refers to the tapioca pearls.

  At least, that’s the distinction Wikipedia gives, which seems to match the given origins of bubble tea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI can find cancer pathologists miss⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they specifically picked men with increased risk?

  Half sounds pretty nuts otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨human geography⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then there’s Belgium and The Netherlands, where the same words have straight up different meanings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like your kid goes to a horrible childcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New idea ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Belgian heavy beer ferment again on bottle, so no real need to capture CO2 from the first fermentation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New idea ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a permanent beer pipeline in Bruges connecting a brewery with the bottling plant 3km away
