Now suddenly privacy is important. Fuck everybody else though.
- Comment on The mechanics of ovulation: Study explains how muscle-like fibers help eggs squeeze out from follicle 4 months ago:
This won’t stop the uterus from shedding, but a hormone-less contraceptive would probably be a great alternative for those who have be reactions to the pill.

Thanks. It has been done.

Ah, yep. Indeed. Thanks for pointing that out.

This poor woman needs therapy. It seems like everything around her triggers her and she has thus come to identify all men as culprits. Even going as far as calling her husband an asshole (might be true, I’m not married to the dude).
A comment like “you don’t look like a computer scientist” leads her to make a core point about how she believes others view women.
People tell me I don’t look like a programmer and they are right. My attire is that of what happened to be on the top of the pile that day. Very little thought goes into it. One day I could look like a bum, another a builder, another a knowledge worker, and another a street thug. I don’t take it as an insult unless there is clarification that it’s because of some other feature.Her proof to the next core point of expertise has nothing to do with expertise either: criticising a high pitched voice has very little to do with perceived expertise.
I sat in a class there the most common critique of the male professor was: he talks too quickly. It didn’t reflect on his expertise, just his mode of talking. And they were right BTW, he had heavy accent, didn’t enunciate, and spoke rapidly. Unlearning that would be very difficult.
I appreciate that it’s different from a physical attribute, but behaviours are quite difficult to change. We had a female professor who got similar feedback, tried to speak slowly and it worked for 5 minutes of every lecture before she sped away again. No-one thought she was not an expert. She just had major difficulty talking slowly (like the other male prof).As for dating in the workplace: adults spend a large part of their time awake at work. Are you really surprised feelings develop there? I wouldn’t shit where I eat, hut that’s a personal thing. Many others would (men and women alike). We also live in a society where men are expected to make the first move which, in addition to roles at work, makes things even more complicated. Some people will switch jobs just so that they can get that degree of separation.
I understand that for somebody who doesn’t see work as a place to get emotions it might be annoying, but not everybody’s the same, nor does it always have to do with “the patriarchy” or whatever.Oof…
- Comment on Chinese EV owners are losing access to smartphone app updates and driving features when companies go bust 6 months ago:
Nothing to do with being Chinese. Amazon is going to brick some of their devices that play music in cars IIRC. There are western companies that made pace makers who closed source their communication protocols, went bust, and now the pace makers are in patients who have no way to service them.
Opensourcing after deprecation should be written into law.

Privacy dies in thunderous applause. Good job on voting in the conservatives and ludites everybody (or not voting at all)! A+ participation in democracy.

So, something the majority of people can never attain. Awesome.
Or are you going to hand me a plot of land that isn’t as big as a thimble? If so, sign me up. I want it.
- Comment on #StopKilligGames update: Finland just passed the threshold. 7 months ago:
PirateSoftware was a blizzard dev, is a current dev, and is just basically lobbying against change. I don’t believe he’s being genuine in his arguments and is misrepresenting the cause or hasn’t understood it. It was possible to make games that didn’t stop working once a server shut down and it still is.
Being given a server binary isn’t a licensing issue unless you make it one. And because publishers and studios sign shitty contracts, doesn’t make it right, nor the only way to do business.

“Selecting a server is too complicated”. Won’t ever understand that.

Probably not. People will hang onto stuff because “everybody’s there” and “but lemmy doesn’t have enough content” 🤷♂

What? That sounds like absolute hokum. It’s like saying variable names change the data they contain.

Go is not an option? Zig neither? Even Java would be better (it’s used in high-frequency trading).

I hope an opensource, non-C/C++ browser will pop up that can claw back from Chrome/Chromium. It’s about time.

This is what happens when you’re in a walled garden. You lose sight of what exists outside of it.
- Comment on Getting PSVR2 working on PC isn't as easy as it should be 7 months ago:
it turns out the PS VR2’s Sense Controllers are very flakey when it comes to Bluetooth connectivity. Even though I have the required Bluetooth adapter built into my PC, constant connection losses meant that I couldn’t even make it past the headset’s initial setup process on PC.
Bluetooth has always been a bad experience for me. The connection will always randomly drop. Sometimes I’ll hold the two connected devices right next to each other or lay one on top of the other and the connection will still drop.
Any device that requires bluetooth is an immediate nope for me and life has been easier since.
Why don’t we have anything better? I’d even accept WiFi (802.11) connections over bluetooth. Sure, they aren’t as energy efficient (right?), but at least they are stable.

How high can they appeal? This is just a district court. I bet it’ll take another decade until a decision is reached.
- Comment on Logitech has an idea for a “forever mouse” that requires a subscription 8 months ago:
She can fuck right off with that. I have a mouse that fell apart because it used soft plastic, another one I threw away because I couldn’t clean properly (taking it apart to clean broke something), and now I have one from logitech. My parents have a mouse from (I kid you not) 1995. Brand is unknown. There were already “forever” mice out there, it’s just that now they voluntarily make them shit for you to buy a new one.
Just make mice like 20 years ago but in different forms (vertical, ball at the thumb), that can be opened to clean and repair, and we’re fine. No need for your dumb-ass subscription. Fuck off.
- Comment on A small games manifesto 8 months ago:
AAA really should mean game quality, not production costs. I don’t care how much money is spent on a game, if it’s bad, it’s bad.
- Comment on Watch out for sharks: The bizarre history of internet outages 8 months ago:
The less diversity you have in any ecosystem, the more vulnerable you become, and there’s zero diversity at the top of the internet supply chain. You can pick any core area of the internet and you’ll find a very short list of companies in control.
That natural conclusion of an absolutely free market is a monopoly. With no regulation, one company will end up dominating everything. I can only hope that over time we will have technologies that allow citizens to make big mesh networks.
- Comment on AI Video Generator Runway Trained on Thousands of YouTube Videos Without Permission 8 months ago:
If companies were really treated like people, they’d be in jail right now - at least in the US. But they wouldn’t come out reformed, just beaten and bruised, ready to commit more crimes.

Our shareholders can’t buy another private jet to pollute the environment, so fuck off. Jake, you can stay though. You’ve been promoted to hold every job with a 5% raise.
And people will keep buying their games 🤷
