jisnsm··on History of Null Pointer Dereferences on macOS
> A NULL pointer dereference occurs when software attempts to access memory at address 0 (the NULL address) via a pointer set to NULL.

There is nothing in the standard that says that NULL must be 0.

jisnsm··on EU sends Apple first DMA interoperability instructions for apps and devices
Macron is not right wing by absolutely any sane definition of the concept. Can’t say anything about the others.
jisnsm··on EU sends Apple first DMA interoperability instructions for apps and devices
Maybe in progressive circles. There’s life outside too.
jisnsm··on Plex no Longer Offers Free Remote Playback for Personal Media
Personal media, cough cough
jisnsm··on Video game workers in North America now have an industry-wide union
Yes, unions at video game studios are bound to save so many lives.

In other words your comment is hyperbolic and does not apply to the topic at hand.

jisnsm··on Google to buy Wiz for $32B
Really it makes no sense that Google would want to siphon money off to Israel?
jisnsm··on Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones
From my argument it follows that Apple customers don’t care about this.
jisnsm··on Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones
That’s not Apple’s fault or responsibility. Maybe Android should stop sucking.
jisnsm··on Apple restricts Pebble from being awesome with iPhones
If iOS only allows you to build a worse experience, then Apple customers will leave the platform for Android. The problem solves itself.
jisnsm··on Block YouTube ads on AppleTV by decrypting and stripping ads from Profobuf (2022)
Most devices allow you to add CAs, but almost all apps nowadays use certificate pinning which means the system certificate store is ignored. I find it extremely surprising that YouTube doesn’t do that.
jisnsm··on Please stop externalizing your costs directly into my face
I work for a hosting and I know what this is like. And, while I completely respect that you don’t want to give out your resources for free, a properly programmed and/or cached website wouldn’t be brought down by crawlers, no matter how aggressive. Crawlers are hitting our clients sites all the same but you only hear problems from those who have piece of shit websites that take seconds to generate.
jisnsm··on Watching nature scenes can reduce pain, new study shows
“No! Don't deal with it like those dead people do. Come on!”
jisnsm··on Chewing gum is plastic pollution, not a litter problem
Because disgusting people spitting gum on the floor is obviously the corporation’s fault.
jisnsm··on Brown Medicine professor and doctor deported to Lebanon despite valid visa
If you can’t see the difference between deporting someone and stopping them to see if they are the person to be deported what can I tell you.
jisnsm··on Brown Medicine professor and doctor deported to Lebanon despite valid visa
That article is more outrage porn than anything else.
jisnsm··on The Alexa feature "do not send voice recordings" you enabled no longer available
Your link does not contradict his.
jisnsm··on Brown Medicine professor and doctor deported to Lebanon despite valid visa
Yeah - just wait until they start deporting actual Americans to Lebanon!

Look at population pyramids. Europe is old.

Most people are looking up to retirement and their pensions. The system is unsustainable and predatory on young people. They pay an overwhelming amount of taxes to sustain this system. It also needs massive immigration which causes severe security and cultural problems, but they don’t care as long as that guarantees they will get their pension.

Same about housing. It’s old people who own houses. They vote so new housing doesn’t get built as to keep the high value of their houses. They don’t care that young people can’t afford rent.

Many other examples you can think of probably. It’s a society that caters to the old. The young get screwed. And there’s nothing they can do because they are outnumbered and that will only get worse.

This is the status quo. A society that functions like this is dead.

jisnsm··on There's a Good Chance Your Kid Uses AI to Cheat
> “What scares me as a teacher the most,” Moon said, is “what happens when they go into college and the workforce?”

I assume they are competing with other people who also used AI to complete their assignments, so absolutely nothing out of the ordinary will happen.

I think Europe is hopeless. It’s an old continent full of old people who have a deeply vested interest in maintaining the status quo. What Europe needs is a revolution of the young, but demographically that is impossible to happen. The old are willing to sell the young cheap if it means their pensions get increased by 0.1%. That is the source of all the problems in the continent, everything stems from that. From out of control immigration to skyrocketing rent prices.

Choosing the lesser evil doesn’t cut it. You are still choosing and being complicit with evil. Siding with evil is Wrong. Relativism is a disease. Evil is evil.

Being Spanish you know very well that our current president should also be in prison. So I will trust your word.

I am European. I know who Macron is. I know what he does. If one sees Macron as something other than someone who is willing to sell out his country for his masters, that seems unreasonable to me. If the hope of Europe is put on someone like Macron we know that Europe is hopeless. (I think it is)

>Why am I starting to believe that france is now more culturally shited towards being a new super power in this multi polar world instead of USA.

Because you are reading a lot of destabilisation propaganda online. I recommend you cut your news and social networks consumption a little bit.

The fact that you are beginning to trust FRANCE over something that MACRON did, no less, speaks volumes.

jisnsm··on For climate and livelihoods, Africa bets big on solar mini-grids
And how, pray tell, is the money being siphoned off to the evil colonial empires?
jisnsm··on Fitness Trackers Are Only 67% Accurate, New Research Finds
The fact that a technology hasn't existed before is not an excuse to sell that technology with an implementation that doesn't work.
jisnsm··on Samsung Q990D unresponsive after 1020 firmware update
If you don’t know how to operate some piece of technology you shouldn’t be using it. Same as you wouldn’t operate a car without knowing how to drive.
jisnsm··on Y Combinator urges the White House to support Europe's Digital Markets Act
So, credit score with extra steps, and no rewards (lower interests) for people who could prove that they are solvent and responsible with money.
jisnsm··on Huawei targeted in new European Parliament corruption probe
European politicians are superhuman and are way above bribes and such inferior, unsophisticated things.

jisnsm··on Tell Mozilla: it's time to ditch Google
And I don’t care about anything but the browser. They should stop wasting money on things that I don’t care about.
jisnsm··on Tell Mozilla: it's time to ditch Google
Maybe they will find out you don’t need $555M a year to make a web browser. First good step would be to fire that useless CEO.
