- Comment on SQLite is likely used more than all other database engines combined 2 weeks ago:
Sqlite is absolutely installed on the most devices, but there is a big grey area depending on how you count “used”
I have 30 apps on my phone, am I a single sqlite user? or 30 of them?
Facebook/Netflix/etc. uses postgres/mysql, does that count as 1 user or a billion?
- Comment on Size Matters? Penis Dissatisfaction and Gun Ownership in America 3 weeks ago:
We find that men who are more dissatisfied with the size of their penises are less likely to personally own guns across outcomes
- Comment on I was handed this lovely flyer while grocery shopping 2 months ago:
A couple of them fall into the “technically true, but misleading territory” - I’m sure the person handing this out couldn’t identify which though - broken clock right twice a day and all
“Can you reverse effects” - no you can’t make your immune system forget how to work. Probably not what they are going for here though.
“Risk of […] or other side effects?” - yeah the vaccines generally give people a headache and short lived fever symptoms
“Have there been deaths?” - The astrazeneca vaccine had like a 0.000001% mortality risk (more likely to die driving to the pharmacy), and was pulled in many countries because that was deemed too dangerous. Person handing out the flyer has likely been parroting “mRNA vaccines cause blood clots” nonsense for years while being completely unaware that AZ was a traditional viral vector vaccine
“Are there doctors recommending NOT taking it” - yeah, there are many notable anti-vaccine doctors, what they typically have in common is they earned their doctorate in computer science, social studies, or some other field that gives them no qualifications to talk about immunology

- Comment on Linux share on Steam bounces back to nearly 2% for March 2024 2 months ago:
Could go either way.
I ALWAYS share my stats for the steam surveys, because higher Linux market share = better Linux support
- Comment on Teams apparently can't call when using Firefox 5 months ago:
Problem with that is that when you click a link in the teams PWA it opens in edge rather than your default browser. I just use the unofficial teams electron app
- Comment on If only it was like that 5 months ago:
“the perfect scale”
Proceeds to list completely arbitrary temperatures and link them to completely subjective opinions
I can make all the same points about celsius but they make even more sense
0 freezing 10 cool 20 room temperature 30 hot 40 very hot
