- Comment on My favourite moment of the world cup is when there's more rules about advertising than the sport 4 days ago:
They’re not providing the stadium. What, you think random car manufacturer or telecoms operator has a team dedicated to running highly specialised facilities like a stadium? They pay money to have their name on stadium for X years so you and I are “forced” to see and say their name when talking about stadium X. Then that deal changes hands and another company pays for the privilege of forcing their brand on us.
FIFA offers an even bigger deal, so now the stadium covers the first advertiser to comply with the second advertiser.

“Harder”. I mean, sure. It’s all so low effort anyway. Why not call that harder.

Run it on a separate machine / account. In big corporate environments, your user account could be disabled by the time you walk into the meeting room.
Better solution, if you can, work for open source companies: at least the codebase is already public!

“Chicken farmers” ≠ “farmers”
The hint is in the first world (is: “chicken”).

Wait, is this a post about adblockers?
- Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages 2 months ago:
It’s a mascot, not a logo. So it having a gender isn’t strange.
Also, since its pronouns are (quoting the announcement blog post) “he/him, they/them, she/her, and it” that is very open and not rather post-gender, in my opinion. The focus in the announcement is not on thee mascot’s gender in fact.
- Comment on Why do some people with college degrees and an education, still act so fucking stupid? 2 months ago:
(Academic) education is not intelligence, and certainly not wisdom.
The worst part is this education doesn’t protect you from falling for certain loopy ideas. Critical reasoning is a skill and like all skills it needs to be learnt and maintained.

“Help, we are being attacked”
“Stop fighting!”
“Watch out, there’s a bus coming!”
“Leave me alone, leave me alone!”
“Are you proud of working for ICE? Do you go to bed proud of what you do?”

There are absolutely good reasons to yell at people.
Seriously, what kind of performative crap is saying things like “it’s never right to yell at anyone”?
I can’t seriously think you either believe or have thought this through.

It’s like you didn’t read the message and understand the context.

Gemini was kind of entertaining, but I would go as far as calling it “good”.

Ah yes, great book. The film is fun but completely fails to adapt the point of the book.

Physicist Education is amazing and one of their most catchy songs.
I didn’t think one really needs to recommend any in particular to demonstrate their musical ability, they are all complex and impressive. And good! the technicality serves the music, not the other way round.

- Comment on Ska ftw 5 months ago:
AAA and Link80 are very much not “the most ska”, they are very hardcore leanleaning ska, which is really a few steps too farfar from The Specials or Toots and the Maytals to be a good introduction to ska.
