There are facts and there are lies. The fact that innocent people are purposefully being killed in Gaza is just that - a fact. What you can do is argue that that's okay. What you C…

Its important to note that most of those "irrelevant" countries are only irrelevant because they're perpetually under the thumb of world powers. Hence why they petition the UN. And…

This is already a thing, compiled languages have been doing this for decades. This is just C++ templates with extra steps.

There's a huge planet-sized gap between techno-fascism dystopia and being Richard stallman. If you want to actively make the world a worse place for everyone be my guest. But natur…

This is programmer thinking, laws aren't algorithms. The laws regardless this almost always make a distinction between intentionally surveillance and by chance background noise. Ta…

I have some loyalty in open source project I rely on and I regularly donate to them, particularly KDE and thunderbird. Maybe loyalty is the wrong word - if they really go to left f…

If your phone is remotely rooted, the screenshot is providing no security.

You can't get anything through because you're simply incorrect. No, housing is not always cheaper, feel free to do some research. Its highly dependent on your city. If you truly th…

No offense intended to JavaScript monkeys, I'm a JavaScript monkey too. And a PHP monkey, which I think is worse.

Homes are not low-risk or stable at all - you transfer the risk to your job. If you lose your employment and you have a home, that's a much riskier situation than if you're renting…

To be completely fair, AI really does use more water than other typical compute tasks, because AI takes A LOT of compute. No, it's not like email, or a web server. I can run an ema…
