Gud··on The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
An alternate, less accurate title.

The wealth of a nation is directly related to how much energy is available to it.

Gud··on Apple's new 'Switch to Safari' campaign details why you should ditch Chrome
It absolutely was. Phoenix became immediately superior to IE.

Never fell for the Chrome trap.

How is a button more expensive than a computer with network access?
Gud··on A statement on the Tor Project's relationship with Mullvad
Yeah, but that sweet DoD money is no problem.
Gud··on A statement on the Tor Project's relationship with Mullvad
LOL!

That’s rich coming from an organisation with strong ties to the US ‘intelligence’ community.

Gud··on Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 to Navanethem Pillay
During the height of the war on terror(I guess, the laws are still on the books and are being used willy nilly), USA routinely kidnapped people across the globe and put them in dungeons for years, without trial. Probably still happens, who knows.

You can't be serious.

Gud··on Trump administration is suspending Microsoft from a green card program
Why not? Doesn’t that depend on the worker output?

Neither do I.
Gud··on Former German spy chief arrested for attempted treason
What’s your point? I never claimed mainstream media(owned by Jews or not) never wrote negatively about Israel.
Gud··on OpenTPU – An open-source AI accelerator, developed by AI
In the current economic system. There is no natural law that states that only the people lucky enough to be born rich and/or well connected to real the rewards.

AI could and should benefit us all.

Gud··on Vibecoding isn't as fun as writing code by hand
Then the competent developers will cease being architects and start becoming city planners…

That’s not really how LLMs are used though, is it? I am driving the design.

Both corporations are owned by jews. It might make you uncomfortable, but mainstream media in the USA(and the western world in general) is mostly owned by jews.

You don’t see many mergers between somalian media conglomerates.

Gud··on Vibecoding isn't as fun as writing code by hand
Or even if we do have those skills, I still do t like when some moron comes by my cubicle to discuss some nonsense, job related or not. I’d rather be vibe coding at home.
Gud··on <input type="password" maxlength="20"> prevents me from logging into Vanguard
I have a similar, just as frustrating issue with OVH.

When I got a new laptop because my old one broke, I no longer had access to my password. So I go to OVHs website, and try to recover my password. Recovery email has been sent, but no such email arrives.

Apparently I had made an account with OVH Canada and not OVH Europe(what's the difference? who the fuck knows. I just wanted to be billed in dollars). So despite the fact that the "Recovery email has been sent", no such email was actually sent. So I now have to use OVH Canada(again, what's the difference?) every time I login.

Gud··on The death of web development education
I had already studied German as a teenager(I’m 40 now) and I speak Swedish which is a bit similar.

The first thing I did was ask it to continuously adjust its difficulty level based on my replies(A1-C1), it told me I’m in the A2-B1 span. Then I formalised my training on Akkusativ and Dativ, which is basically A2 level.

I have structured the lessons like this:

Every day I wake up with a new lesson. It starts with the nominativ/dativ/akkusativ table. Now I’ve also added wechselpräpositionen including translation to Swedish. It then gives me 5 sentences for me to fill out. If I have time and energy, I continue the exercises throughout the day.

This allows me to continue the practice at my own pace and at my own time.

I only type and read. I can already pronounce quite well but this may be the next step.

Gud··on The death of web development education
Doesn’t that depend on the friction?

I’m using ChatGPT to learn German. I can immediately adjust its responses and language level(it says I’m at A2/B1) and tell it how I want to study.

I find it to be a far superior tool than anything else I’ve used.

Gud··on Pentagon Influencer Called Liberal Women 'Pestilence' Who Will End Civilization
Which ones are those, and how do you predict these non-liberal institutions are going to continue existing “for millennia”, and why is that even a good thing?

Gud··on California farmers are struggling to sell grapes as demand for wine drops
Weird how I struggle to sleep without it but sleep like a baby after 1ml of my drops.
Gud··on AI needs $6T in annual revenue to justify data centre boom
I just invented a simple upgrade script for my father's ancient Fedora install. I've gone from version 33 to the latest(44) with a simple utility I one shot in 5 minutes.

Since Fedora moves old releases to some mirror it's a nightmare to update old installs.

Now I did it very conveniently. Did I build a space ship with the help of ChatGPT? No. Is it useful to me? Yes.

I'm doing many much cooler things that I haven't released yet but I am launching projects I never dreamed I could do as a solo dev in 2-3 months.

This is basically what I've replaced with my tincture. I used to roll the smallest doobies you can imagine(one drag joints basically). However since it's terrible for the lungs, I've completely replaced it with my shot. The effect is slightly different but it works well against my ADHD.
Gud··on California farmers are struggling to sell grapes as demand for wine drops
Consider that perhaps what you smoked, is the equivalent of a newbie chugging down bottle of whiskey.

I don't recommend smoking/inhaling weed at all. It's bad for your lungs.

Gud··on California farmers are struggling to sell grapes as demand for wine drops
That's not been my experience at all. I sleep like a baby thanks to it. We're all different with different needs. Read the sibling comment from 'cromka'. That's my experience as well.

It’s because alcohol fucking sucks.

Personally I microdose THC via an extraction I make myself(somewhat ironically using alcohol). Can’t do it in the mornings as I wish though, society still hasn’t caught up with a more heterogeneous drug use, only caffeine and tobacco are erlaubt…

Gud··on EV Sales Are Booming in Europe with Gasoline at $10 a Gallon
Funny you would say that, considering there ARE other choices, they even existed in the US until your car lobbied to dismantle it.

I am of course talking about public transportation. Bike + tram + train keeps the citizens fit and healthy.

Going from car parking to car parking must suck, what a way to live
