- Comment on Schools won't be allowed to teach children that they can change their gender ID, reports say 4 days ago:
Because telling them “I’m not allowed to answer that question.” isn’t going to make them look it up themselves anyway. I mean, you could lie to them, but I can’t imagine that being a popular policy.
Even if the sentiment behind this wasn’t so horrid, this is just stupid.
- Comment on the struggle 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but the point of all the criticism is that the test also reflects mood changes and recent experiences in ways that a proper tool to measure a person’s personality shouldn’t. I am not saying that people can’t change, just that the result of the test is rather superficial.
- Comment on the struggle 2 weeks ago:
This made me try that test again, and I got INTP-A. Got something different half a year ago, so yeah.

So you’re from Estonia?
- Comment on Edited in Signal 3 weeks ago:
They seem to point at the qualcomm privacy policy to show what’s being collected. It does seem strange that they’re not analysing the packets themselves, especially since claiming the data is unencrypted, and the article is quite sensationalist. In the end, they’re trying to sell their very expensive (one might dare saying overpriced) Pixels with preinstalled Graphene.
It’s still good to keep in mind that qualcomm seems to be collecting personalised data, which they’d likely hand over to US intelligence or law enforcement if requested to, and that at least some custom roms come with the proprietary packages that facilitate this.
- Comment on Edited in Signal 3 weeks ago:
I’m not talking about the CPU itself. If I remember correctly, phones with Snapdragon CPUs usually have packages from qualcomm installed, and there have been reports about them sending data to qualcomm.
- Comment on Edited in Signal 3 weeks ago:
And if it’s one with a Snapdragon CPU, the NSA probably knows too. And while China is rather Authoritarian, and I’d be worried if I lived there, currently I’m more worried about surveillance by a government that has more influence on the country I live in, and likely shares data with my countiries intelligence services.
- Comment on Just got texted a job offer. You guys think it's legit? 3 weeks ago:
Not great, still better than SMS.
- Comment on Lemm.ee mod abuse 3 weeks ago:
I mean, isn’t the point of the fediverse that you can just jump to another instance? There isn’t a central authority like there is with reddit.
- Comment on What 11in laptop do you suggest? 4 weeks ago:
In general, I tend to look at the business lines from the big laptop brands, and get them used. Never fared me wrong.
- Comment on Am I the only one who's "shorts" feed is all basically softcore porn? 5 weeks ago:
When I’m logged in, the few shorts they show me tend to be from channels I’m subscribed too. If I go to the homepage incognito (back when they still showed you stuff when you rejected their terms) it was mostly either shock value, expensive stuff, sexualised stuff, sports. So lowest common denominator stuff, I guess.
- Comment on Every generation has different challenges 5 weeks ago:
I mean, I’ve had a holiday last year where I was hiking for days, often meeting no one except for the group I was with.
That was hard from a certain perspective, it involved some technically difficult climbing, lots of different terrain, carrying your own supplies.
But I honestly found it a lot easier to just walk, one foot in front of the other, for hours and hours, than to organise my normal life. It was meditative, in a way.
Now I’m not saying that I’m some kind of pioneer, the people in those wagons didn’t have mapped out places to refill their water, and I didn’t have small children, diseases, or displacing natives along my route to do that I had to worry about, but I am saying that the clarity of purpose that just walking towards a destination for days on end can feel really freeing.
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 1 month ago:
Yeah. I mean, the state I live in right now just passed a bill to forbid officers of the state from using gender neutral, but technically grammatically incorrect language, while the ruling party is campaigning on not being a party of bans, while claiming their rivals are, so things aren’t all that green here either.
I say take the wins you can get.
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 1 month ago:
Dunno if 300k is necessarily a lot for an ISP, but having rules and fining firms for non-compliance is pretty nice.
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 1 month ago:
It wasn’t supposed to be quite serious, but yeah, depending on where you live it’s pretty much a lost cause, at least in the short-, or even mid-term.
- Comment on Derps of Tiktok 1 month ago:
I guess I’ve been known to think things are jokes because I was unable to believe people would say them seriously, so who knows.
- Comment on Derps of Tiktok 1 month ago:
Because her audience was to stupid to get it? Dunno, I can’t read the minds of arsehole.
- Comment on I have unlimited cellular data on my phone but not if I use it as a hotspot. 1 month ago:
My ISP’s a dick, but to my knowledge, unlimited has to mean unlimited around here. There where months where we had Problems with our fibre, so I did everything over a hotspot from my phone. Used 100’s of GB’s no one ever complained.
Get proper consumer protection laws, people.
- Comment on Derps of Tiktok 1 month ago:
I’d assume that’s a joke. I mean, she’s an arsehole, but that doesn’t change that.
- Comment on But Claude said tumor! 1 month ago:
I mean, as long as you are the one prompting ChatGPT, you can probably get it to spit out the right recommendations. Works until they fire you because they are convinced AI made you obsolete.

High Voltage DC transmission system. So, not overly sinister, and probably needed.
Never thought about how many ways you can translate Anlage. Image

- Comment on Joker 2 is apparently a $200 million jukebox musical | A.V. Club 1 month ago:
On second though, kinda weird to have such a big production be a jukebox musical, and I’d rather have original songs, but what the hell, I’ll still watch it.
- Comment on And the most popular man in the whole Fediverse is... 1 month ago:
Depends on the celebrity. Neil Gaiman is actually pretty chill online. Takei too, but the amount of articles he posts started to annoy me, so I dumped him. I don’t really know what people see in Zuck, though.
- Comment on Joker 2 is apparently a $200 million jukebox musical | A.V. Club 1 month ago:
I thought the first one was fun, but kinda overhyped. Wasn’t sure I’d watch a second, but this pretty much ensures I will.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 4 Isn't Next For Larian; Something Bigger Is Coming | Spot On | Gamespot 1 month ago:
I have used AI to RP some stuff (don’t ask), and while the higher end models, and even the better self hosted models are really good at answering in a way that makes sense and works in context, it is pretty hard to make them do anything, new, interesting, or unexpected, without prompting it specifically.
Nothing that I’ve seen playing around with LLMs makes me think that a well-written work of fiction could be improved by including them, unless there is a significant leap in capability.
And this is ignoring all the discussion about LLMs and copyright/stolen content.
- Comment on Round 2 🚢 1 month ago:
Meh, I’ve seen a few of these pop up and get articles written about them over the years. They usually disappear soon after. Probably just trying to scam money from Investors.
