Primordial black hole as they’re called. They’re still a theory at this point but I find it very plausible. And how cool would it be to have a primordial black hole in the neighbourhood? Even the name is cool.

Code is already copyrighted by default, so no need for software patents. Luckily software patents are null and void in EU, so I don’t have to worry about that.

I’ve got a 128GB Kingston DTSE9G2 and it has served me very well for close to a decade. Shit’s built like a tank and has sustained a lot of abuse being packed in my pocket with all the keys. Even survived a bike accident where I landed on the pocket (the pain was intolerable though…)

The problem is that with dumb drivers you can easily place blame at the driver and make him pay for his idiocracy. FSD is a lot more complicated. You can’t really blame the driver since he wasn’t driving the car but neither did the engineer or the company itself. We’d have to draw up entirely new frameworks in order to define and place criminal neglect if one should exist. Is the company responsible for a malicious developer? Is the company responsible for a driver ignoring a set guideline and sits impaired behind the emergency stop? Is the driver responsible for a software fault?

All of these questions and many more needs to be answered. Some probably can’t and must remain a so-called “act of God” with no blame to place. And people is not fond of blaming just the software, they’re out for blood when an accident happens and software don’t bleed. Of course the above questions might be the easiest to answer but the point still stands.

Meanwhile in Denmark: FULL STEAM AHEAD! Next stop on the digitalisation train, all of your identification papers!

Or do. It’s not like people care if he breathes.

“We can sell 80 percent of the screen before inducing seizures!”

Sounds like homelabber paradise is headed for eBay

Hold my pokéball I’m going in!

addy.io is another service which I’m using with my own domain. I know there exists a third, but I can’t remember the name.

While I am not fond of AI, we do have access to it at work and I must admit that it saves some time in some cases. I’m not a developer with decades of experience in a single language, so something I am using AI to is asking “Is it possible to do a one-liner in language X where it does Y?” It works very well and the code is rarely unusable, but it is still up to my judgement whether the AI came up with a clever use of functions that I didn’t know about or whether it crammed stuff into a single unreadable line.

They killed i.reddit.com after the APIcalypse, so I wouldn’t be so sure.

I bought an HP* color laser before Covid too. It’s starting to bitch about cyan, but holy hell I abused the shit out of it during my studies and it’s still good as new.

*I know, but their enterprise grade stuff is actually decent.

Denial of Playing attack.

So MariaDB will explode halfway to Japan?

They actually tried using a West German state of the art police robot but it failed. IIRC it still sits broken on the roof to this day.

Nice. Now make a TV that doesn’t need updates. Hint: Drop the internet connection.
