- Comment on Europe’s ‘tech sovereignty’ ambitions carry security risks, military warns 14 hours ago:
In response to the quote you cited:
What if the orange regime decides to go balls to the wall on Greenland? What’s the play? Roll over and acquiesce? Ask them to stop, while they categorically ignore the requests, and likely clown on the relative powerlessness of the EU military apparatus? Seriously, if any senior officer in the EU can’t see that for the clear and present danger that it is, they should be fired. Of course it’s a dangerous situation. But decades of letting EU defense is how they got here, and hard choices are now becoming necessary. Better to start the process and endure the pain now, than to be forced into even worse compromises due to imminent or active military action.

What possible benefit does that have? It’s so far beyond the realm of human perception that it feels rather pointless.
- Comment on Is there a way out of an NDA after signing? It just seems people are so affraid of breaking it 4 days ago:
Not a lawyer, but iirc, if the NDA aids in the concealment of a crime, I don’t think you’re actually bound by it, as that would essentially make you an accessory to said crime. But please do ask a professional about the whole context.

- Comment on ‘Devastating blow’: Atlassian lays off 1,600 workers ahead of AI push 4 days ago:
Considering they are talking about making a replacement service, probably just GitHub/codeberg/etc and collab edit docs and discussions at the start, and then eat your own dogfood.

Unfortunately, that may be more difficult than it sounds, because many meatbags struggle with the concept even today.

You’ve clearly never experienced the jerkey counter at Buc-ee’s.
More seriously: if you happen to be in Texas, and you’re driving somewhere, and you go by one, it’s amusing to check out. And the jerkey selection is bonkers, and they make it all, so it’s super fresh and great quality. But yeah, overall, it’s a bit hilariously overblown. The cult following is a bit much.
- Comment on How do people survive in America? This is with insurance! 1 week ago:
Psh, that’s nothing. I’ve got an injectable med I need to take every 3 months. My insurance covers it, thank fucking christ - because unadjusted, it costs over $20,000 per dose. No, I’m not kidding, or exaggerating. Yes, I was absolutely disgusted when I learned that.

- Comment on Lenovo’s New ThinkPads Score 10/10 for Repairability— Repair goes mega mainstream with the launch of Lenovo's new T-series laptops 1 week ago:
Yeah, but at the same time, it has WAY better performance than traditional SODIMMs. The primary reason laptops had RAM soldered for so long was because the transfer speed became problematic with that physical format under DDR5. LPDDR removes that bandwidth constraint, and maintains user serviceability.

Honestly, between this vibe-coded driver hilarity and the maturation of Linux gaming support, I think I picked a great moment to shift over to team red for graphics.
- Comment on Harvard Places Math Professor Martin Nowak on Paid Administrative Leave Over Epstein Ties 1 week ago:
…how is that your takeaway from my comment?
Of course that’s entirely heinous. I was just remarking on the fact that the guy fucking put Epstein in the dedication of his textbook on top of that. It’s just an extra layer of gratuitous, gleeful evil kind of beggars belief.
