  • I still have more beef for that hack

  • Hell of a comment + explanations. Thanks for the insights!

  • Nova Launcher could soon add a proactive AI assistant that sucks up all your data

    Jump

  • What I don't get is: why exactly is such software so popular ? Does one really need it instead of just swiping twice or thrice to find the app one is looking for?

  • Whether someone is "stubborn" or "determined" depends on whether they're doing something you like or not.

  • A nice corollary to Taleb's 'People reserve standard compliments for those who do not threaten their pride; the others they often praise by calling "arrogant" '.

  • "Nationalism" by Tom Gauld, Guardian Review, 2015. Quote by Doug Stanhope.

    Jump

  • Outside the more pragmatic and conceivable city-state, the very concept of nationality in the modern sense is pretty useless.

  • YSK none of the Nordic nations have a legislated Minimum Wage

    Jump

  • My first time in Norway (2010) I noticed right away that the prices were pretty obscene, so the first thing I did when I arrived at the hostel was to ask the guy behind the counter what the minimum wage was. He didn't even know the concept of minimum wage.

  • 😆 yea. For instance, a former friend of mine, a hardcore psychologist and academic, always carried a green rune-like stone for 'positive energy and good luck'.

  • In my (very personal) experience, people who boast about how rational and science-oriented they are tend to do some pretty irrational things, such as believing in amulets and marrying.

  • Anti-bully measures

  • He'll very much do something about it: express 'deep concern' and call 'on all parties to respect (inter)national law'.

  • Open source, self-hosted alternative to shopify?

    Jump

  • Thanks, of course I know alternativeto. Maybe it isn't clear enough in my post, but what I really want is to read about first-hand experiences with such tools: how easy or difficult is the setup really? Do you really host it yourself or use a VPS and why? What are some potential gotchas? And so on.

  • If you are born in disputed territory claimed by two jus soli countries, you could be born with birthright citizenship in both countries!

    Jump

  • ...as well as the fact that some countries in theory allow multiple citizenships but in practice only their own country's. Iran is a prominent example. If you have Iranian birthright citizenship, it matters little if you have a second or third one: the minute you set foot in Iran (which is presumably not something that people are doing a lot these days), you will be treated as an Iranian, and if you break the law, you will be tried just as every other Iranian.

  • Justice is a luxury the poor can’t afford and the rich pay to evade.

  • Where I come from, there's a saying that goes something like this: 'There are only two kinds of people in jail: the very stupid and the very poor.'

  • The book 'Freakomomics' deals, among many others, with the similarities between a corporate giant and a regular criminal organisation. In short, petty criminals risk death or prison for only two reasons: a) they feel they have no other choice and b) they are hoping, one day, to become part of the top members. That's about it. Think about it for a while and the argument is easily transposed to the '''legal''' corporate world, which also explains why middle managers tend to be obedient assholes who, instead of being mad at those exploiting them, exploit their underlings themselves.

  • Any good selfhosted instant messaging?

    Jump

  • Prosody (XMPP server). Setup takes an hour at most even if you have never worked with Lua. Easy to interact with (it has a built-in shell), easy on system resources, and easy-to-understand config. Support for groups, E2EE, attachments including videos and voice recordings, among others.

  • Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years

    Jump

  • First of all, it didn't leave, it was driven out. Second and more important: there are IOF positions in Lebanon as of this writing, so the statement is wrong on both ends.

    If we were to apply the logic of cookie banners and T&Cs in real life, it would look like sexual harassment at best, gang rape at worst

    Do you know of a dating app which caters primarily to heterosexuals, respects your privacy, doesn't use analytics and doesn't require G00g13 services to function properly?

    The number of times a person mentions ChatGPT in a random real-world conversation might work as a rule of thumb to measure her intelligence (inverse proportion, of course)

    Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example
