So, Trump is not even president yet, and his word already invalidates the written law… Americans are so fucked.
- Comment on I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned? 17 hours ago:
Funny you say that, because Chinese apps like tiktok can’t ever be compliant with GDPR, and American ones are fully reliant on an executive order where Biden pinky swore to not use the Cloud Act against GDPR.

What if I think Facebook and Twitter should be shit canned too?
- Comment on 5 days ago:
The main difference is that the project will be owned by the non-profit foundation. This still leaves mastodon.social in the for profit Mastodon gGmbH but Mastodon itself is safe.
- Comment on Are there any games like Starfield? 1 week ago:
I’m old enough to remember the Kickstarter campaign. I lost track of how many release dates flew by since then.

That means it’s not gender neutral, it just means you use male as a default in most contexts.

- Comment on TikToker’s trip to China: The influencer or the influenced? - How Beijing's network of influencers across various platforms try to shape narratives on issues critical to its foreign policy 1 week ago:
Both are bad, doing propaganda because the other side is doing it too only makes things worse, and people defending China because the US does it (or vice-versa) are bootlicking whataboutists.

Hear me out, what if two wrongs don’t make a right?
- Comment on It's been a feature of Australia's elections since federation. Albanese supports a change 1 week ago:
My perception, based on the election cycles I followed, is that, in Europe, the campaign period tends to be bigger when it becomes clear there will be early elections.
For normal elections the campaign period is usually about 1 month. And for early elections there’s the entire dance around bringing the government down for a few weeks, and then everyone will be on full campaign mode until the election.
- Comment on Elon Musk says X’s algorithm pushes “too much negativity" while reports suggest the platform will suppress "criticism of the government" and "attacks against powerful people and institutions" 1 week ago:
Because Jimmy Carter wasn’t perfect but at least he tried to the right thing. Then Reagan came and it became clear the abyss has no bottom, so the absolute sociopaths have an overwhelming advantage on the political space even if they pillage everything in sight.
- Comment on IEEE 754 2 weeks ago:
It depends on the requirements of your app and what programming language you use. Sometimes you can get away with using a fixed precision that you can assume everywhere, but most common programming languages will have some implementation of a decimal type with variable precision if needed, so you won’t need to implement it on your own outside of university exercises.
- Comment on IEEE 754 2 weeks ago:
Instead of representing $1.102 as
1.102your store it as1012(or whatever precision you need) and divide by 1000 only for displaying it. - Comment on Denmark: Union website deindexed by Google in the firm’s latest search experiment 4 weeks ago:
And nothing of that has anything to do with blocking the union’s website besides Google’s sheer incompetence.
- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg's Meta donates $1m to U.S. President-elect Trump fund 5 weeks ago:
Bribe. Zuckerberg gave Trump an one million dollars bribe.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 month ago:
That’s not true in any big city. While the laws keep the landlord madness limited, real estate and rent prices are out of control because of speculation, and there are tons of horror stories to go around - and by experience, I would say they are even more common with individual landlords than with large companies, at least large companies don’t usually do anything obviously illegal and have less venues to make their tenants homeless.

You also call it hockey if it has no puck. The common element in all hockey variants is the stick.

Those lazy directors keep using props and trick shots.

Yeah, but in monkeybrainish that all translates to “no large predators in sight”.

- Comment on Microsoft's LinkedIn: If our AI gets it wrong, that's your problem 3 months ago:
A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE A MANAGEMENT DECISION
As IBM said in 1979, computers aren’t accountable, and I would go further and say they should never make any meaningful decision. The algorithm used doesn’t really make a difference. The sooner people understand that they are responsible for what they do with computers (like any other tool) the better.
