Dma54rhs··on California strikes another blow against rooftop solar
A fair amount of the EU market is also on it, it's not a special Texas company thing.
Dma54rhs··on HTML Web Components: An Example
Switch to the US layout for programming then. It's impossible to cater to all the languages in the world.
Dma54rhs··on Base64 Encoding, Explained
No cache in web context
Dma54rhs··on Windows 11 Pro's On-by-Default Encryption Slows SSDs Up to 45%
Doesnt it come by default on everywhere? Often with a weak 1234 code but nevertheless.
Dma54rhs··on TikTok account is using facial recognition to dox random people
In the media it usually refers to someone who they agree with that is losely related to the field in question.
Dma54rhs··on Tidal energy is not renewable
You do but nowhere near 100-150. They try to upsell stuff indeed but luggage is not that expensive.
Dma54rhs··on Tidal energy is not renewable
No, but you can check yourself. Flying in Europe is cheaper than train or bus. Not sure if there are Ryanair style cheap airlines in the US or other parts of the world.
Dma54rhs··on ‘I just assumed it would happen’: the unspoken grief of childless men
This desire is why our species continue to breed despite the need to share resources. So yes, it's normal and natural.
Dma54rhs··on Tidal energy is not renewable
European cheap airlines have shown these prices are indeed sustainable for the last 20 years now?
Dma54rhs··on Finland provides housing and counseling to the homeless (2020)
The social housing in Finland Congress with strings as well, anti social behavior is not tolerated.
Dma54rhs··on They didn’t ask to go viral
It's a common PR SEO service, no AI.
Dma54rhs··on The underground world of credit card network exploitation
It's not leading the way technically but for the end consumer it might be better. If I get charged unfairly my bank will tell me to go to the police. Americans can easily just refuse it.
Dma54rhs··on They took blockbuster drugs for weight loss. Now their stomachs are paralyzed
We always get these drugs but in the long run show horrible side effects, I guess this article and some people are just trying to claim for their own reasons this cycle will continue, despite no good evidence for it.
Dma54rhs··on Temporary ban on behavioural advertising on Facebook and Instagram
By being a monopoly in your region of course.
Dma54rhs··on Blocking Threads won't be enough to protect privacy once they join the Fediverse
As others have noted they are doing it anyway. Gmail accepts emails from ProtonMail despite "ideological differences" and vice-versa, otherwise it's destined to doom.

If being separated from the mainstream internet is the reasoning then yeah sure, go ahead, but you also can't complain why no one besides fanatics is using alternatives when the alternatives are not worth using for the mainstream audience.

Dma54rhs··on Blocking Threads won't be enough to protect privacy once they join the Fediverse
What's the point of joining a decentralized federated platform if you don't want other instances or people to see what you post?

Meta scraping your name and doing other shenanigans is a different subject and obviously bad, but the rest is like complaining joining a public torrent tracker and being mad about leaking your ip address to its peers.

Dma54rhs··on Twitter Is DDOSing Itself
Cry me a river, IT workers especially the ones working for SV companies are one of the most privileged people out there.
Dma54rhs··on Journalists should invest in journalism startups, particularly now
The state of journalism is where Joe Rogan or whatever podcast is a step forward and refreshing.

There's a reason people prefer listening to the guest to speak instead of being taught to think and live by white journo women.

Dma54rhs··on Google Removes Sort by Date options in search
Sure SEO gurus use every dirty truck but Google knows when the page was first indexed or found, and what changed compared to older crawls.

Or have they only changed the dates not the content itself substantially, etc. So that's a poor excuse if it was one.

Dma54rhs··on Doubts creep in about wisdom of ‘no-kids zones’ in South Korea
You might apply to that anything if you want to go full individualism - from taxes to vaccines but that is not how societies work. Only on paper for the libertarian types.
Dma54rhs··on Doubts creep in about wisdom of ‘no-kids zones’ in South Korea
Are these serious opinions? I'm sure in America they said to black folk having kids is a choice as well - you can skip the discrimination by not having a new generation.
Dma54rhs··on Doubts creep in about wisdom of ‘no-kids zones’ in South Korea
Parenthood is necessary so your nation doesn't go extinct and hopefully you get a paid pension from a new generation. As the other commenter said many nations tax having a child free lifestyle just like they tax smoking.
Dma54rhs··on Missing Titanic sub faced lawsuit over depths it could safely travel to
I'd rather listen to expert opinions on the matter rather than software engineers who think they know all. People dunk on then using off the shelf equipment but that is rather common even for the military.
Dma54rhs··on Biggest Losers of AI Boom Are Knowledge Workers, McKinsey Says
That is why we see so much fearmongering and neuroticism regarding AI and office workers, they are not used to being the ones whose jobs are getting shipped away.
Dma54rhs··on Stack Overflow Moderation Strike Update
This edit feature might be a privilege of some sorts. I have a decent amount but when they closed my question as a duplicate I was not able to edit the question.

I don't know why they are they doing it, clearly posting a reference to another question entirely. Why not just let the question hang, it feels almost bot-like behaviour.

Dma54rhs··on GitHub accused of varying Copilot output to avoid copyright allegations
/g/ is pretty mainstream among the zoomers they browse it publicly. Also 4chan is among one of the most popular websites on the internet so it doesn't come off as a surprise.
Dma54rhs··on Lawyers blame ChatGPT for tricking them into citing bogus case law
Yeah, they just defrauded their clients and billed arm and leg. Ironically I believe and hope that laywers for the most part get soon automated away by machines because legal language is different to human language.
Dma54rhs··on HashiCorp just let go 8%
Most of the Eastern European countries as well and their economies are growing great compared to old Europe.
Dma54rhs··on Reddit Laying Off About 90 Employees and Slowing Hiring Amid Restructuring
Is it really bad PR? People here do discuss it but it doesn't change anything regarding their users, they are just there to mindlessly consume. And for investors as we have seen it can come off as a good signal.

Only people working in tech mind care but do what in the big picture?

Dma54rhs··on Reddit’s plan to kill third-party apps sparks widespread protests
The creepy algo of TikTok is giving me way better content than Reddit. It actually caters to my interests, not ragebait. I guess the bar to beat reddit is not high in the end and mindlessly scrolling TikTok is a problem.
