Schizoid doesn't colloquially refer to schizophrenia.
anvic··on We Burned Down Players’ Houses in Ultima Online
yay, you invented UUIDs (?)
anvic··on “Please be our voice” - Message from students at Sharif University of Technology
How odd... I entered this thread and my computer started emitting a faint green glow
anvic··on A call to reconsider memory address-space isolation in Linux
For most of us driver memory bugs are extremely rare and therefore a 2-14% performance drop is bonkers.
anvic··on Elixir Sulfanilamide
I am supposed to be moved by it, which is precisely why it doesn't belong there.
anvic··on Elixir Sulfanilamide
What a manipulative article. All that is needed is a sob story about a dying child or something. Oh wait there it is.
anvic··on Google has added ads on both its search page and Chrome://newtab
I've already seen ads like those, some even pushing their political stuff.

Yeah, that'll work lol

If you don't want people training models on your code then do not make it public.
anvic··on Tell HN: The Internet situation inside Iran
Surely it's not the first or the last time that this has happened or will happen again. I can smell the glowies from a thousand miles away.
anvic··on Facebook’s Systems Promoted Violence Against Rohingya in Myanmar
Google does not send emails to spam just because it doesn't like the politics of what is being said in the email, so no, it's not the same thing.

Also when Google sends something to spam you can still read it. What "Amnesty International" is asking for here is making it impossible for people to read what some people say.

anvic··on RootMyTV is a user-friendly exploit for rooting/jailbreaking LG webOS smart TVs
I don't say "just let me pay". I really just want free things.
anvic··on Facebook’s Systems Promoted Violence Against Rohingya in Myanmar
Spam is by definition messages that the recipient does not want to receive. Given what happened in Myanmar it looks like these people did want to receive those messages - but some organisations like "Amnesty International" didn't want those users to receive those messages. That is not a spam issue, that is a censorship issue.
anvic··on Facebook’s Systems Promoted Violence Against Rohingya in Myanmar
Yes? Google is promoting every mail that is sent to your Gmail inbox?
anvic··on Facebook’s Systems Promoted Violence Against Rohingya in Myanmar
No, Facebook simply showed what other people posted.

You mean they revoked the licence that you purchased from them.
anvic··on Taken under fascism, Spain’s ‘stolen babies’ are learning the truth
Just because some subset of the population doesn't have a point, that doesn't mean they should be stopped from saying whatever they want.
anvic··on Taken under fascism, Spain’s ‘stolen babies’ are learning the truth
Franco was so bad that a law had to be enacted recently to stop people from cherishing him.
anvic··on WhatsApp Remote Code Execution in Video Call
>Now it's starting to get worse and worse.

Wait until the EU-mandated intercompatibility kicks in.

anvic··on Cost of public EV charging rises by more than 42% in four months
Broom broom... (sound of me revving up as I hold down the clutch)
anvic··on Mozilla reaffirms that Firefox will continue to support current content blockers
Under "Scripting API" it says "the code parameter is removed so that arbitrary strings can no longer be executed [...] you need to move any arbitrary strings executed as scripts to files". I don't see how something like greasemonkey can continue existing given that limitation.
anvic··on [dead]
Does this mean that, statistically speaking, there really is a good chance of a White supremacist being under my bed?
anvic··on Mozilla reaffirms that Firefox will continue to support current content blockers
I read somewhere that even though Mozilla will continue supporting the ad blocking API from manifest v2, the rest of manifest v2 will be completely dropped so most of the extensions that I use like greasemonkey will stop working. Is that true?
anvic··on Mozilla claims Apple, Google and Microsoft force users to use default browsers
For Mozilla it always is browser-whining season but it never is browser-improving season.
anvic··on An anonymous person donated 299 ETH from Tornado Cash to Redox OS
Is the money known to be stolen?
anvic··on Electrically heated clothing (2013)
Complains about Americans, then uses Fahrenheit for all temperatures.
anvic··on As unrest grows, Iran restricts access to Instagram, WhatsApp
The right move is letting countries govern themselves in whatever way they see fit and leaving them alone.

Or would you like to have Iran or Pakistan or whatever intervening in the domestic issues of the West?

anvic··on Senators introduce bill to thin out the 900k pieces of orbiting junk
You can do whatever you want, just don't pretend that the amount of the fine is not completely arbitrary.
anvic··on Senators introduce bill to thin out the 900k pieces of orbiting junk
>An estimate is made for the total cost of clearing significant space junk.

The same bullshit as carbon credits: we make up a number, make companies pay it, and feel good about ourselves.

anvic··on Twilio CEO: Layoffs were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens
All companies run everything by their lawyers and still they are found doing illegal stuff from time to time.
