You are probably already aware of this, but it is worth noting that categorisation needn’t have hard boundaries, e.g. Lack of Privacy may not translate to lack of Security for everyone, but for example, a whistleblower, that can literally mean getting Boing’d

It’s not the same though, those are fictional characters. I know a real person made them, but still, it’s not the same

How do you define Tech bros? I lump them in Commerce category in my head.

Computer Science/Engineering people I have encountered are more into liberatory politics (whether they overtly acknowledge it/are awareof it or not)

I think Arts and Sciences folks need to team up and fuck up Commerce bros.

Not available on f droid yet it seems

iOS

I’m sorry but there likely never be a long-term alternative for free software such as this on that platform. Neither you nor the developer has much say on how to use it.

I think the aussie contestant is getting disproportionate amount of mockery (and even hate). It’s becoming borderline bullying

At least it’s not wrong

Why are renters not teaming up? I am sorry but the membership in my local tenants union is frankly shameful. Unite, organise in solidarity is the only way. I know people have a limited time but that’s the situation we are in.

Now what was the cause of the bug? Fat fingering human error during release.

There isn’t a singular “the” cause usually, and if we do want to press for it, I’d say an aggressive deadline for a major product that needs engineers to slave away was the cause. At that point bugs become stastically inevitable. Whoever decided on that promised deadline was the first responsible person.

I don’t know, have you been to West Bank?

See, replication isn’t a problem if your entire field is vibes-based. A lot of economics papers I come across are like that (so much so that I am close to writing off the entire decipline as unscientific). The diff in the level of rigour you would see in e.g. particle physics versus in economics is baffling.

It used to be psychology as well but I am noticing they are more than aware of their replication crisis lately. Whereas economics feels pseudoscience with a maths clothing.

Black holes aren’t like magnets

Laughing at Trump has gotten old for me. He has bottomed out the level of idiocy so much that it’s just not funny anymore, almost like real-life flanderisation. If anything, it brings me sadness thinking how half of america is somehow more stupid than this guy.

If this community is going to be just a list of stupid shit Trump is going to say until the elections, I am not sure if I want it in my face every day, especially as a non-american. It must be possible for me to block posts based on words

Edit: At least on Eternity there is such a filter! I shall see nothing about this arsehole anymore

Can’t help but anthropomorphise, but in a changed way. I’ve always equated wings with what hands are in humans, but this picture makes me think of then more like legs, and bird’s ‘legs’ as hand equivalent

Reputation comes from public, it requires collective action and coordination. Collective action is not easy, but it is not as hard it might seem either. For example, many open source projects in software are highly reputable without a private ownership.

Steve Jobs was no different from the rest in Silicon Valley who would spout virtues out loud while simultaneously undermining them in practice.

In 2024 using linux is far less cognitively demanding than using windows

Headline implicates that it was returning non-science data so far lol
