Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Make ZIP files smaller with ZIP Shrinker
Debian? Did they discover it yet?
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Which country will be the first to pass laws limiting Meta Ray-Ban glasses?
None. They advance the panopticon.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Batteries Not Included, or Required, for These Smart Home Sensors
If they are anything like the ultrasonic pest devices people can hear them. I can hear those. I can hear the one a neighbor has near a chicken enclosure every time I walk past on the street.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027
This but for USB-C
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on 81yo Dodgers fan can no longer get tickets because he doesn't have a smartphone
I know you're joking but the future will be: No. Yes. No, stock only. No, surveillance required.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on A Love Letter to 'Girl Games'
From what little I've heard one of the recent MMO shooters is a bit like that. You're fighting part of a larger war so if you win in the shooting game you move the "front line". I think an older one from Sony (maybe?) also had a similar larger conflict.

I might have been thinking too literal with my examples. One could possibly make it work with some sort of averaging of people's play. I can't say what that might be like. I've not played online since Battlefield 2 except a bit of friendly Stellaris (which didn't go well).

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Artemis II Launch Day Updates
Jesus! Why is there a presenter? Why isn't it just a livestream of the mission control radio chatter? That sort of shit belongs on some 24/7 news broadcast.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on A Love Letter to 'Girl Games'
The timescale between shooter and strategy layers sounds too great for that to work. Imagine playing Civilization like that. You build and set your army to attack the enemy but then you have to wait for the hour long shooting match in Battlefield to resolve. Sounds as exciting as playing multiplayer Civ where you have to wait for the others to spend as long resolving their turns as you did yours.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Microsoft's "Fix" for Windows 11: Flowers After the Beating
The government haven't yet mandated you use windows. Yet. It will be soon, like with androids and iphones, for user identification so the government knows who sends every network packet.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on 4Chan mocks £520k fine for UK online safety breaches
The answer is a computer the child must sit down and use in front of the family. Steve Jobs ruined the world with the invention of the iPhone, and whoever else is responsible for the more generic smartphone. Now parents use one to quieten their children and governments use it to surveil us all.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Faster asin() was hiding in plain sight
I don't do much float work but I don't think there is a single regular sine instruction only old x87 float stack ones.

I was curious what "sequence" would end up being but my compiler is too old for that intrinsic. Even godbolt didn't help for gcc or clang but it did reveal that icc produced a call https://godbolt.org/z/a3EsKK4aY

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Plasma Bigscreen – 10-foot interface for KDE plasma
> don't connect your TV to the Internet

5G fixes this

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Zuckerberg's "fix" for child safety could end anonymous internet access for all
Ban cell phones. The internet must again become something you sit down to use. It'd fix the child problem and many problems for adults. It is not something that should be following you around all day.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Microsoft team creates data-storage system that lasts for millennia
> No read speed given

Write only medium!

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Defer available in gcc and clang
> external assembler

Is that supposed to exacerbate how poor that choice is. External assembly is great.

Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
Since they masquerade as example.com with an https certificate that your browser will trust: yes.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
What do you think cloudflare is? This is just them coming out with it now.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on 11.8M EU citizens pay taxes to governments they cannot vote for
More people voting you mean? No. I can't vote so I want to be exempt from paying taxes.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on 11.8M EU citizens pay taxes to governments they cannot vote for
Are you going to let them vote or let them not pay taxes? I know which I'd rather.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on The US is flirting with its first-ever population decline
Why though? All those old people paid in all their lives so surely that is sitting in a vault somewhere waiting for them.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on The €10 Mirror: Why Enterprise Security Looks Like a Kid's Toy
You might have a point regarding security in general but what is the specific problem here? It is your device to use as you please. I might be thrilled if all devices were as broken as this.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on New York’s budget bill would require “blocking technology” on all 3D printers
Are you sure about that? All the normies use streaming services for music and movies. Techies around here tend to too. The normies don't know about and can't work torrents. They can't even work their own file system. The techies decry it as "inconvenient".

> It's why hundreds of thousands of Americans moved here in 2025.

They should all give me their passports. I want in.

Its called a map. They come on paper.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on New Dutch government to push for EU social media ban for under-15s
Yes it is. The internet is something you should sit down to use. Adults or children should not be followed by it everywhere they go.

Isn't it black on white? I can't see a color specified anywhere other than for <a>
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on New Dutch government to push for EU social media ban for under-15s
No. Ban smartphones. Better for more of society.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Finland looks to introduce Australia-style ban on social media
Wrong. Ban phones. Would benefit more than just children. The internet must again become something you sit down to use.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on Package management is a wicked problem
Can't have been "solved" if apt exists.
Am4TIfIsER0ppos··on GOG: Linux "the next major frontier" for gaming as it works on a native client
What a waste of effort. Just provide your current installers or even fallback to plain old tarballs.
