Why would I add a line break when I don’t want or need a line break? It’s a list item, not a text paragraph.
I define the layout and spacing in CSS for the li element.
I don’t think I’ve ever noticed this as prevalent or common. If at all then as a strange outlier.

I haven’t heard or read any such thing, and the EU passed legislation regarding AI regulation. Which seems like the opposite of those claims.
I really don’t see how it’s a dishonest question.

Are you talking about a specific company or AI in general? Because first it sounded like the latter, but now it sounds like the former.
- Comment on ChatGPT's o3 Model Found Remote Zeroday in Linux Kernel Code 2 months ago:
It does show that it can be a useful tool, though.
Here, the security researcher was evaluating it and stumbled upon a previously undiscovered security bug. Obviously, they didn’t let the AI create the bug report without understanding it. They verified the answer and took action themselves, presumably analyzing, verifying, and reporting in a professional and respectful way.
The cURL AI spam is an issue at the opposite side of that. But doesn’t really tell us anything about capabilities. It tells us more about people. In my eyes, at least.

Should posts like this have [Satire] added to the title?
I’d prefer them to be obvious. Just like we title posts to describe them, and put them into communities, mark them nsfw or not, whether it’s satire or not is an important differentiator.

‘Order from Amazon’: How tech giants are storing mass data for Israel’s war
The Israeli army is using Amazon’s cloud service to store surveillance information on Gaza’s population, while procuring further AI tools from Google and Microsoft for military purposes, an investigation reveals.
Is every single Israeli resident complicit in what their government is doing? None of them should be allowed to use Windows?
This is not about Israeli citizens using Windows. This is about Microsoft’s contracts with the Israeli military and government.

- Comment on Pocket is Saying Goodbye: What You Need to Know | Pocket Help 2 months ago:
Pocket has helped millions save articles and discover stories worth reading. But the way people save and consume content on the web has evolved, so we’re channeling our resources into projects that better match browsing habits today. Discovery also continues to evolve; Pocket helped shape the curated content recommendations you already see in Firefox, and that experience will keep getting better. Meanwhile, new features like Tab Groups and enhanced bookmarks now provide built-in ways to manage reading lists easily.
What’s the discovery replacement they are referring to here?
- Comment on List of Fan (OpenSource) Ports/Remakes of Games 2 months ago:
You title them ports or remakes - do these all require the original game asset files?
When I read remake, I thought they’d be independent games, inspired by or replicating the originals.
- Comment on As Gamers Express Concern About Borderlands 4 Potentially Costing $80, Gearbox Chief Randy Pitchford Says: ‘If You’re a Real Fan, You’ll Find a Way to Make It Happen’ 2 months ago:
My local game store had Starflight for Sega Genesis for $80 in 1991 when I was just out of high school working minimum wage at an ice cream parlor in Pismo Beach and I found a way to make it happen.
What is 80$ in 1991 worth today? calculateme says 190$ adjusted for inflation (in 2025).
What about the minimum wage? dol.gov says $4.25, or $10.08 adjusted for inflation. Since 2009 it’s $7.25.
7.25/10.08 = 0,72 or 10.08/7.25 = ~1,40
80/60 = 1.33
So we have a decrease in minimum wage by 30%, but an increase of product price by 30%.
Is this correct? Does that make it 60% more expensive than his personal analogy from 1991?
Man, the two-sided percent reference point is confusing.
- Comment on OpenAI rolls back ChatGPT’s sycophancy and explains what went wrong 3 months ago:
a user pretending to espouse paranoid delusions received reinforcement from GPT-4o, which praised their supposed clarity and self-trust
This may be the next big sabotage of society.
Algo-driven unregulated social media pushed negative views, division, misinformation, while opening the platforms to manipulative content producers and connecting positive as well as negative influences (like finding communities of extremism).
If unregulated AI interfaces get pushed to people, they will not critically verify, but be confirmed in their own and the AIs biases, without any obvious indicators that this is happening.
Good thing we see some kinds of positive regulation. Like them pulling this model, interfaces adding disclosures of AI and uncertainty, and regulation by law.
- Comment on The games industry is screwed. [26:11] 3 months ago:
Both are valid considerations, but I find the large shift to time spent on social media apps a much more compelling argument.
Indie games are part of the industry too, so I don’t think they’d be losses in accumulated industry revenue. The small and niche indies probably don’t have much of an impact on the market as a whole.
I also think the big titles largely marketed towards the general people and casual gamer. And I have to assume that still works the same way. They buy the popular marketed title, or on their console digital store. They don’t care as much about classics or indies [outside of the store’s popular titles].
