- Comment on Is there a way to listen to only the radio topics I actually care about? 9 hours ago:
Practically all radio stations also offer their content as podcasts nowadays. A simple RSS feed will get you exactly what you want, and apps to make it a smooth experience are ubiquitous.
- Comment on Richest American to FAFO? 23 hours ago:
And on that note I can think of several. I mean not just those I wish consequences on, but those where this is also likely to occur.
- Comment on Richest American to FAFO? 1 day ago:
He certainly FA plenty. I think he also FO plenty (more than just your example) but either he’s very clever about covering up his looming bankruptcy or he really is too big to fail.
- Comment on Would then but I just could because before then there was the one and fine 3 days ago:
Not with those 16 colors.
- Comment on Did Border Control exist in previous eras? (Say, like 500+ years ago or more) Can people go to other places? If so, what does the procedure look like? Just walk across a border? 4 days ago:
They levied taxes on merchants transporting goods through their kingdom. That happened on border checkpoints where the big merchant routes where passing through. This is how a lot of regions got rich: by being between a source and a big buyer region and taxing the shit out of merchants.
There are places that are still named after having been such tax/tariff points. Or buildings, inns etc. And the New Testament of course.

I think it’s a clever way of saying “I find you appealing just the way you are, but not uncritically so.”
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I’m pretty sure there’s a story here. Cannot pass judgement until I hear it.
- Comment on For when arguments go off the bottom of The Debate Pyramid 2 weeks ago:
I suspect (or perhaps am being wishfully optimistic), this may be confirmation bias, and that common ground and progressing dialogue can be rediscovered.
The argument was the discovering of common ground. But at some point it will end.
- Comment on For when arguments go off the bottom of The Debate Pyramid 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry I can’t answer your implicit or explicit Q, but I have something to say about “discussion”:
It’s really good and important to communicate with people you disagree with. But sometimes there comes a point where all parties realize that there’s just no common ground, or what little there is has been charted.
You say one last thing, then it ends.
Or at least I would think so, but there’s way too many people who do not. It must go on, until … what, they whittled me down to agree after all? That’s where it becomes slightly abusive* imho.* Of course I can just block them online, but not IRL
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, I get it now.
- Comment on The documentation links in PlatformIO are all bit [dot] ly short links 2 weeks ago:
This is good to know, but bit . ly already got your precious data at that point.
Browsers can also be configured to do this by default - or possibly only for bit . ly with some addon.

Good morning, Klanken Bargen
Where is Aufentharzer Laubnis?Even allowing for translating from Japanese script, these are not German dictionary words.
- Comment on The documentation links in PlatformIO are all bit [dot] ly short links 2 weeks ago:
bit(dot)ly is just a link shortener; my guess is that the promised documentation is indeed behind it.
But - and I’m just spitballing here - by going through a third party, they can collect precious user data for which they probably have a contract with MS, which brings me back to my original comment.
- Comment on The documentation links in PlatformIO are all bit [dot] ly short links 2 weeks ago:
Neither of your screenshot seems to be showing ads?

If a for-profit org gives something out for free, even if its OSS, you are likely contributing to their profits in different ways.
- Comment on Are the character names in most Anime real Japanese names or just made up? 2 weeks ago:
I know one where all names - even the title - are German dictionary words.
- Comment on Ejaculate asap 2 weeks ago:
I love it when you talk dirty to me
- Comment on Big if true! 2 weeks ago:
thanks!
- Comment on Big if true! 2 weeks ago:
Thanks, that explains it, but also takes the fun out of it.
- Comment on Y = -x² 2 weeks ago:
got it
- Comment on Ah yes that's my bad 2 weeks ago:
I could not reproduce this on DDG, it just says “Yes, 2010 was 15 years ago from today, September 29, 2025.”
- Comment on Y = -x² 2 weeks ago:
There is a right order?
- Comment on Big if true! 2 weeks ago:
Can you explain? I thought it was bad LLM
- Comment on whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders? 2 weeks ago:
But they are still very common! I have noticed no decline.
- Comment on New "symbolic image compressor" posted in r/computerscience turns out to be AI hallucinated nonsense 2 weeks ago:
De-duplicate the internet. You have your orders.
- Comment on New "symbolic image compressor" posted in r/computerscience turns out to be AI hallucinated nonsense 2 weeks ago:
Is that like converting raster images to SVG? Either it emebeds the actual image as data, or it “vectorizes” every fucking pixel. Filesize will show you which.
- Comment on Before modern-day authoritarian regimes, did people living under abosolute monarchies talk criticize the monarchs? Or did they just stay silent in fear of persecution? 3 weeks ago:
Thanks. That must have been tough on you - most kids at that age have a strong but simplified sense of moral - but more so on your parents. I hope they found a good way of explaining it to 7-year-old you.
- Comment on Kindergarten forced to back down after proposing to charge parents $2,200 for their own children’s art 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. Nothing like solvency issues to drag out a bit of drama is there.
That’s not what I meant. Working with children & their parents, it tends to get very emotional.
Sadly, everyone involved in this fiasco is at best underpaid but more likely a volunteer.
Underpaid for sure.

Innocent me just asked my dad
How old were you at that point?
- Comment on Before modern-day authoritarian regimes, did people living under abosolute monarchies talk criticize the monarchs? Or did they just stay silent in fear of persecution? 3 weeks ago:
They probably did, but who might have heard of it?
Exactly.
But even so, the history books are full of the things OP is asking about.
In other words: both small-form and big-form criticism existed.
