- Comment on Does color change how hot a laser can get something? 1 week ago:
doesn’t have to be red or blue, it could be microwave or x ray
Technically those wouldn’t be LASER (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.) but MASER or XASER.

When the next person uses a hammer, do you suggest we ban hammers?
Or when they ram their car into people, ban cars?

The traditional method of Anglo-Saxon human sacrifice was to hang them from a tree, which presents a small problem.
- Comment on does lemmy world automod removing a post from Ani social affect only lemmy world? 2 weeks ago:
I can still see it from the instance I’m on, so I assume so.
- Comment on If Britain is so bothered by China, why do these .gov.uk sites use Chinese ad brokers? 2 weeks ago:
These seem to be mostly websites for small city/district councils, who have never had huge budgets, but their budgets have been heavily cut by the current central government.
My guess is either:
- Someone thought it was a quick way to add a few quid to the budget
- They were offered a discount by the contractor who runs their website if they allowed ads
- Some dodgy contractor inserted the ads without telling the council, because they thought nobody would notice, and they’re owned by a councillor’s nephew.
- Comment on If Britain is so bothered by China, why do these .gov.uk sites use Chinese ad brokers? 2 weeks ago:
including an ad-tech biz in China involved in past privacy controversies
various advertising exchanges and resellers ranging from Google (like what El Reg uses) to one in China.
Do they think google hasn’t been involved in privacy controversies?

Is Market Harborough even worth spying on?
- Comment on If you're selected for jury duty (US), should you give up your anonymous social media accounts? 4 weeks ago:
What exactly is the legal definition of “social media” anyway?
Personally I don’t consider lemmy or reddit to be social media, they’re more like several forums in a trench-coat.
- Comment on Drug shortages, now normal in UK, made worse by Brexit, report warns 4 weeks ago:
That’s assuming the EU still exists in it’s current form by 2050.
- Comment on Drug shortages, now normal in UK, made worse by Brexit, report warns 4 weeks ago:
They have the same shortages of ADHD meds in the USA, so I’m sceptical TBH. It seems like they’ll say anything to avoid blaming the drug companies.
- Comment on Royal Mail insists it will keep fining innocent victims of counterfeit stamps 4 weeks ago:
It’s not mentioned in this article but here there’s a statement from RM where they blame postmasters, again, when there’s a serious probability this is a computer bug, again.
- Comment on Do we intentionally translate ancient stuff and languages to sound old timey as an artistic choice, or is there some other reason? 4 weeks ago:
I imagine with a lot of ancient languages there’s about 3 people capable of translating it and they’re all university professors in ancient history, who write like that normally.
- Comment on More than 2,000 NHS buildings in England older than NHS, figures show 4 weeks ago:
They’re probably in a better state than all the shoddy later builds with RAAC roofs.
- Comment on MP raises security fears over a Chinese firm's involvement in North Sea windfarm developments 4 weeks ago:
The company appears to just be a manufacturer? The article doesn’t specify but I assume it’s not intended for them to have control of them?
Personally I would rather they were all made in the UK, to support what’s left of British manufacturing, but the article says it is part of a “Strategic Investment Model scheme for international developers to build wind farms”. It seems bizarre, to exclude domestic companies entirely like that.

What does he think they’re going to do? make them blow backwards?
Networking equipment I can kinda understand, but what security implications can a windmill have?
- Comment on Why I Lost Faith in Kagi 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think you can simply say something tantamount to “I think you’re an evil person btw pls don’t reply” then act the victim because they replied.
If the CEO had been sending multiple e-mails etc, I would agree with you that it’s harassment, but from what I can see at any point the blogger could have just disengaged, but he seemed more interested in getting the last word in.
