I literally thought “Who’s he?” when first opening the picture so I can understand the androgynous descriptor.
To save others the Google: british “synth pop” musical duo turned solo act.

- Comment on Some subreddits could be paywalled, hints Reddit CEO - 9to5Mac 3 months ago:
I imagine they’d be eyeing things like having a partnership with patreon so patrons get access to an exclusive subreddit at a certain tier (with reddit getting some cut). Not saying patreon specifically would go for that but I imagine that type of monetization is what they’d be mostly considering. Or maybe a better example would be something in the realm of substack. Paying directly for access is hard to get people to go for without a third party with financial incentive to drive content.
- Comment on US Email Providers - Other then Google, MS, Apple, ... 3 months ago:
MXRoute is about a decade old and based in Texas. It’s in that “unix philosophy” category of doing something well and stopping there so you won’t get them advertising their new crypto wallet or AI software on you. It’s mostly geared for more technical bring your own domain type of usage. If you’re wanting to use it more as a forwarder and want to store the history locally (or if you don’t email files) there’s a “lifetime” plan available.

The trailer has the vibe of a historical documentary about the daily life of peasents in the middle ages that you watch on substitute teacher days.

- Comment on I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used? 4 months ago:
Any controller that’s thin and rectangular: NES, Turbografx-16, sega master system, or more recently the switch in handheld mode

Next to 0 of the people brigading the PRs and Issues have any interest in using SerenityOS either.
Github really needs better protections against harassing behaviors.
- Comment on The enduring mystery of how water freezes 5 months ago:
Well duh, the water molecules get cold and huddle together for warmth, causing them to stop moving so much. Even my fifth grade teacher knew that!
- Comment on Spotify Premium User Slams App Over Audiobook Feature 5 months ago:
They probably have a bunch of 1 hour ‘books’ that mess with the average as shorter is cheaper to help pad out their numbers.
Looking at my personal library, the median length audiobook is The Last Wish at a tad over 10 hours. So it’d be equal to 1.5 books going by that, not the worst marketing exaggeration I’ve ever seen.

- Comment on ICQ will stop working from June 26 5 months ago:
Most people in my circle moved to AIM with some on MSN and one or two weirdos on Yahoo. The ability to have a fun username maybe contributed. Did ICQ let you set an away status with melodramatic lyrics? I remember that being an important feature in the others.
- Comment on Daylight Computer – New 60fps e-paper tablet 5 months ago:
The HN thread has comments by “founders” admitting it’s a transreflective LCD. They claim it’s super-duper customized but it’s still an LCD.
I also found a a reddit thread where it was being advertized as e-ink and a company rep came in and admitted it as an LCD and that the article came from a friend of an employee, but I’m not finding the thread again now from a quick search.
- Comment on Daylight Computer – New 60fps e-paper tablet 5 months ago:
It’s not actually eink (aka electronic paper). It’s an LCD screen with a filter to help glare. Clearly deceptive marketing and worse, they have “friends of employees” advertising it as eink.

Carefully timed explosives placed in the middle of the moon causing it to split in half, one half going away from Earth and the other half going right into the Atlantic coast. Problem solved.

The demo was so fucking creepy. Would rather be in a dark room surrounded by victorian dolls that sometimes seem to turn their head towards you and blink.
- Comment on Book people think they know why 9-year-olds stop reading for fun 6 months ago:
Similar here. The “you need to read through page 95 by Thursday” for years ruined it for me. For over a decade after leaving school whenever I’d try to read something I’d just obsess over the page numbers and how long until a chapter break. It’s only very recently I’ve managed to get mostly past that and actually been able to get into what I’m reading.
- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 6 months ago:
There are absolutely laptops with fingerprint sensors.
I’d say the main reason it’s more common in phones than computers is because of the different markets. Phones are mostly consumer purchases, the business market is smaller and the software is more locked down so you can rely on a software disable better sufficing for those cases. Laptops are increasingly dominated by business use cases. Businesses have IT groups that care about security who would prefer models without biometrics.
Secondarily, you login to your phone a lot more often than laptops so the convenience factor is less impactful for laptops. So people don’t consider the fingerprint sensor a mandatory requirement as much as with phones.
- Comment on Factorio Friday Facts #409 - Diminishing beacons 6 months ago:
Not what I was expecting. “Diminishing” made me think that the new effect of the beacons would cover a larger area but diminish as distance to the building increases
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
No.
The page you link has the foundation’s leadership structure. He’s a cochair on the board with 8 total people. The board is a degree removed from day to day operations of the foundation. He’d have to convince the board to then convince the executives.
That transaction would then show up in their financial statements, which are audited and publicly posted on that website. Meaning using the foundation’s money for something like a private jet would become public knowledge within a couple years and would do irreparable harm to the foundation’s reputation.
