  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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! ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very edgy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Time to bash Americans again⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems they’re back now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK 4get is a privacy respecting proxy search engine that can be self hosted⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buying bread⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Informative review ⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe they specifically picked men with increased risk?

  Half sounds pretty nuts otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨human geography⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Incident⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like your kid goes to a horrible childcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New idea ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New idea ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Restaurant tries to scam customers, yet they still give a 20% tip?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify to raise prices in September⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  On Qobuz here. I just buy vinyl then rip it directly from Qobuz generally.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Leaving GitHub. Music server alternatives?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s open source software. You’re free to fork it on any platform of your choosing and support it yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo sold almost 6 million Switch 2 units in less than a month⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is, Steam Deck doesn’t even compare tbh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch Console & Accessory Prices Are Going Up In The US⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, changes are PCs will be getting more expensive too. This isn’t really a Nintendo thing but a Trump tarries thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sooo, Qobuz?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sad but true⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hitting someone with a car is generally seen as a crime, but what if the pedestrian was crossing the highway?

  There are many acts that are considered “crimes” that you might not be guilty of considering circumstances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sad but true⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude is right though, doing something does not automatically mean you’re guilty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU age verification app to ban any Android system not licensed by Google⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Government issued app can be used for anonymous age verification.”

  Doesn’t sound like the most trustworthy statement…
