It’s real. It’s also marked on Google Maps as a “Place of Worship” which I think is hilarious.

You do understand that someone born in 2006 would now be 19 years old, right?
- Comment on Sperm whale 1 week ago:
Fun facts:
- If a man produces a teaspoon and we assume that this equates to 5 grams
- A sperm whale weighs typically 45 metric tonnes
9 million men nutting at once would be enough to produce one sperm whale.

I wrote my CV site in React and Next.js configured for SSG (Static Site Generation) which means that the whole site loads perfectly without JavaScript, but if you do have JS enabled you’ll get a theme switching and print button.

I don’t think he’s necessarily the inventor of the computer. There are a few possible candidates, including Ada Lovelace or Charles Babbage, who were earlier.
- Comment on hubris go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 1 month ago:
LLMs are like Trump government appointees:
- They hallucinate like they’re on drugs
- They repeat whatever they’ve seen on the internet
- They are easily maniuplated
- They have never thought about a single thing in their lives
Ergo, they cannot and will not ever discover anything new.

Another one: An old metal USB stick that stayed on my key chain for 15 years. It went through the washing machine at least once.
It still works, though it is dead slow.
- Comment on Some things just refuse to die 2 months ago:
I’ve had one Jansport bag for 18 years, all the way through secondary (high) school, university and many years of work.
I use it for food shopping, travelling etc.
It’s only now starting to form holes, in the last couple of years.

- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 2 months ago:
Well, I’m not an expert in this stuff, but here’s a couple of starting points
- This bill amendment that was submitted, but thankfully didn’t pass
- The Cass Report, a review of the science of trans studies the government bases many of its decisions on has been widely criticised by the international community. It was also found they tried to deliberately ban any subject experts from weighing in on the report during its construction.
- The EHRC and other government bodies frequently consult trans hate groups while preventing any trans person from weighing in on decisions about them
- Last year, the UK government banned the use of puberty blockers for adolescents, saying there is an unacceptable health risk to them, when in fact the risk is minor at best and witholding them is much more damaging to trans people (high suicide rate, for example).
Generally, rather than listening to experts, the government cherry picks bad research (similar to weirdos saying vaccines cause autism) and listens to and emboldens hate groups.
- Comment on EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights 2 months ago:
That’s the narrative, but trans rights have been taken away. Ask anyone who is being forced to put themselves by going to their “sex assigned at birth” bathroom, or being forced to use the accessible toilets.
Not to speak of the increased trans-spotting, and the fact women can now be searched by male police officers (trans or cis) for being suspected of being trans.
And every effort is being made to pass more laws to make things worse, such as making registries of trans people, outing them to their employers and potential employers.
- Comment on This ad that claims that windows 11 is 3 times faster than windows 10 3 months ago:
That’s incredibly stupid. Genuinely one of the worst comparisons by a large company in the last few years, and we just had the Nvidia fake frames scandal.
Is this claim local, or do they do this across markets?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Yep, been using it for years now.
Moved over from RealVNC due to licensing limitations and problems with speed and I’ve never looked back.

- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 4 months ago:
And yet, the Supreme Court in the UK claims that trans people shouldn’t be afforded the same gender-based discrimination protections as their cis counterparts.
Discrimination is a social artifact, based on performed gender, not biological sex (whatever that means), as evidenced here.
