Almost certainly /s. "Danke Merkel" ("Thanks Merkel") was once a sincere criticism from conservatives regarding her policies (esp. during 2015 refugee crisis), but it quickly evolv…

Tbh, I like it! Yes, crypto has a bad taste. But from my pov, the research paper situation is so broken, that anything that improves upon the status quo is highly welcomed. But I'm…

I think you right. But researchers can upload their own papers. Seem to require a paying requester and the researcher has to notice the request.

I understand the confusion as I was confused myself for the same reason. I also attributed that to my english language level. But I think they just used title-case[1] [1] https://e…

I think so, yes. I could also imagine that business people: 1. see effort in integrating Slack/Matrix/.. . into their landscape 2. think MS is a big name and thus will build a prop…

While scrolling, the web page shifts up a couple dozens of pixels (Android, Firefox) . It's very annoying. I had to stop reading after the second paragraph. Am I the only one?

The fight against facial recognition will be a back and forth between the facial recognition itself and algorithms trying to prevent it (like this one). One issue is that parties u…
