Really surprisingly bad work by HBO.

Well, they use AI to create "content". So I guess it's fair to use AI to read it. This is what Claude says about "Grokipedia"'s article about the Gaza war, compared to the original…

All this doesn't matter. The truth is: Europeans don't trust the US anymore (except maybe Hungary).

Better yet: don't be a "guest" in the USA.

The story can also be considered on-topic because it shows how the USA is increasingly becoming a bad place to start a business. When foreign talent can be snatched by masked secre…

You don't see it, like the fish who does not see the water.

No, that has now become a value of American Republicans.

> maybe they can adopt "stop begging USA for military protection" as their value first. Basically we did that already. But the preferred wording is "Don't rely on the USA because t…

There is broad consensus in Europe that we don't want to be like Trumpist America.

For me, "Support European Values." is prominently displayed on the page.

It's not all or nothing.

Ultimately it's about trust. And why would you trust Trump or Musk?

Wait, has Google really dropped support for Flutter and Dart? Or were there "just" some layoffs?

There are regular pro Palestine protests in my German hometown. And they do condemn Israel's actions.

My theory is that excessive linter rules might be a symptom of trying to compensate for the weaknesses of a programming language. I see it a lot in Python and JavaScript projects w…

I think it is likely that politics is exactly the type of stuff where Homo sapiens outperforms Neanderthals.

Did you possibly enter the prefix +49 as part of the number? It seems to expect a number without the country prefix, starting with a number like "174" or whatever your provider pre…

Yeah, but that would still have been a poor investment strategy. You have to manage the risk. And you can only do that by looking forward, not backward.

Polio is much more dangerous for small children, though. This could make quite a difference.

I tend to isolate myself from the environment using noise-cancelling headphones. Now I'm wondering if this might be a bad idea, neurologically speaking...
