- Comment on If I stick my head out a car window or a gust of wind hits my face it's like my throat closes and I can't breathe. How come motorcycle riders without helmets don't seem to have this problem? 4 hours ago:
There are simply no car windows on a motorcycle…
- Comment on If someone was shrunk down to the size of an ant would they be able to make a little ant sized campfire with the same principles? Does it scale like that? 1 day ago:
Not at all.
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 1 day ago:
Remember the civil war…
- Comment on Do you buy PC games from third party key sites or from Steam? 2 days ago:
I do not buy any.

Some folks observe the very special up/downvoting rules here. Other’s don’t.

- Comment on How does code that's meant to fix one bug break other features? 3 days ago:
It’s the tablecloth effect:
You sit at a beautiful and elegant table, with plates and glasses and food and all. You pull at the tablecloth on your side so maybe the glasses on your side fall over. But maybe also the glasses on the other side fall over.
They were connected somehow. Maybe you knew the connection, maybe not.
- Comment on What should I do with boxes of old photos? 4 days ago:
How old, really?
If they are very old, like 80 or 100 years, then maybe some museum or historician might be interested in keeping them (some of them).
Otherwise, after scanning them, do the unavoidable.
- Comment on What are your thoughts on people who say hate speech is free speech? 4 days ago:
Hate speech is not a well-defined word.
I see that as THE major problem in this debate. But many of the campaigners/influencers/politicians avoid to define it clearly. They try to only discuss whether speech should be free or limited, but they don’t say what it even is.
These are THE DISHONEST ONES among the campaigners!! Some of them try to limit every word you say so only a fine polished meaninglessness remains allowed, and no criticism anymore.
I have no problem with disallowing hate speech according to a most strict and narrow definition: if its purpose is to incite hatred on large scale, like a war or a racial genocide etc.
But all things like a common bar brawl or telling a politician what he is, that must always be free speech.

The right to live is the most basic one of all the basic human rights.
Only few countries do not guarantee it. Usa is among them, unfortunately.
However, the right to live is endangered in some so-called “modern” societies, as outlined in the post here, and yes, then we are quickly in quite evil and dystopian scenarios 🤐
Folks, remember to fight for the right to live and the protection of human life.

Then you are the bad guy.
Better keep it for yourself.

Do you want to set it to “public” then?
- Comment on Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground? 4 days ago:
Singapore? Or what country are you talking about?
- Comment on Why Does Everyone Seem Ahead of Me? ??? 6 days ago:
I genuinely feel like…
That’s because you have decided to feel like that.

Are you forgetting that Trump won by a very slim margin? Some americans are really fucking stupid, but a lot of them aren’t.
And what are the ones in the slim margin?

Most of what I described was before current AI existed.

When I use subtitles, I see such errors all the time. Too many to count.
- Comment on Why don't urban/suburban streets and roads use a center storm channel? 1 week ago:
Wouldn’t it be easier to
I don’t think easiness is the main goal.
The thing is that it must work in all conditions. Always. If your idea fails only once a year, then your neighborhood is flooded every year. It fails twice or three times a year…
- Comment on Why can’t we swap our minds today? 1 week ago:
Cut and then resolder a million wires?
Or maybe 10 million? We don’t even know the number…
- Comment on What can be done to prevent more dangerous heatwaves in Europe? 1 week ago:
I said to wait is one neccessary thing to do before the effects of current actions will become visible.
I did not say to wait is all we can do!
- Comment on What can be done to prevent more dangerous heatwaves in Europe? 1 week ago:
Stop burning things (oil, gas, …).
Stop producing and buying so many animals for food.
Grow new woods (real large, not tiny).
- Comment on Is there any privacy-friendly options for shared todo list services? 1 week ago:
Well I don’t know them. Just thought that “privacy friendly” were your top prio.
- Comment on What can be done to prevent more dangerous heatwaves in Europe? 1 week ago:
It appears that Europe does many things right for sustainability and climate change - public transit over cars, recycling, reducing carbon footprint better compared to other parts of the world.
No. It wasn’t enough by far
There have been many right ideas, but what has actually been done was only a tiny little change, not significant.
- Comment on What can be done to prevent more dangerous heatwaves in Europe? 1 week ago:
What else is there to do?
***Wait. ***
We can do things, or we have done things, and then we have to wait until the results happen.
The current trouble originates from what we have done during the last decades/centuries. Everything we do now will have impact on what we will experience a few decades/centuries later.
But nothing that we do “now” can change things “now”.

A2 - B1 means you have just started to learn a language.
You can read books only if they are in a specially easy language, or if you simply accept missing some parts.
- Comment on My Bluetooth is turned off on my Windows 11 pc but the Bluetooth mouse still works. How is that possible if Bluetooth is turned off? 1 week ago:
The mouse and the dongle are two teenagers, and that parent PC does not know exactly what they are doing together 😇
Pretty sure it isn’t even Bluetooth at all, but another kind of radio, because Bluetooth isn’t the fastest for mice.
- Comment on Since light cannot pass through a black hole does that mean light has mass? Also why does light form a singularity in a black hole? Is that like a fixed point on a map or something? 1 week ago:
Of course you need to read Einstein first. It all starts there.
For example …eu.archive.org/…/Physik_Einstein_text.pdf
- Comment on Can you hide wired conversations behind a language barrier? 2 weeks ago:
ALL recordings can be decoded later.
No exception possible.
The only thinkable “workaround” (not always applicable!) is when information becomes worthless or useless after a relatively short time, and the possible decoding would need more time.
- Comment on What do you think about the dead internet theory? 2 weeks ago:
internet has largely been abandoned by humans
No, they are still there, staring on their screens all day long.
and replaced by non-human activity.
I would say overwhelmed.
The bots already have majority in some aspects, for example websites for product tests are 99% generated fake. And the bots continue to grow with unimaginable growth rates.
Humans are creating more bots, and more humans are creating bots.
