nsoqm··on Toyota unintended acceleration and the big bowl of "spaghetti" code (2013)
Yes, I know that. So why aren’t my applications or tabs crashing at least once a day?
nsoqm··on GitHub Actions has a package manager, and it might be the worst
The original comment said to stop giving money to these companies if they are not giving you a satisfactory service.

The opposite, to be lazy and to continue giving them money whilst being unhappy with what you get in return, would actually be more like defending the companies.

nsoqm··on How I block all online ads
On iOS I use Brave and it works fine.

Is this was true, wouldn’t any modern computer would be crashing several times a month? And please don’t tell me “oh but it is”, because it is not.
nsoqm··on Work disincentives hit the near-poor hardest (2022)
I think it’s amusing. That was probably the expected response.
nsoqm··on X blocks EU Commission's advertising account after €120M fine
No, I do. Me voting for someone who votes for someone who writes a law is not democratic. I’m far too removed from the process. Maybe it’s you who doesn’t know what democracy is; consider that.
nsoqm··on X blocks EU Commission's advertising account after €120M fine
No, but I don’t pretend the process is democratic.

It was? I'm a citizen of the EU and I don't remember the DSA referendum. Maybe I was out that day.
nsoqm··on OpenAI disables ChatGPT app suggestions that looked like ads
This comment proves that whatever they do, they can’t win.
nsoqm··on Germany votes to bring in voluntary military service programme for 18-year-olds
Are you of fighting age? In other words, are you putting your life on the line, or you just think that “someone else” should die to protect you?
nsoqm··on Germany votes to bring in voluntary military service programme for 18-year-olds
> We're all the same. Nothing has been shown more effective at tearing down prejudices than actual exposure and confrontation.

History is full of counter-examples.

And the solution to low salaries is... is increasing the supply of labour?

You just have to look at the picture of the person who uploaded it: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a-/ALV-UjW5veVXQHmH8s4Db3W...
nsoqm··on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image
Someone inspecting the bridge in person?
nsoqm··on Berlin: Police can secretly enter homes for state trojan installation
Yes, but it’s done by a liberal government for democracy and human rights, so it’s okay.
nsoqm··on Schizophrenia sufferer mistakes smart fridge ad for psychotic episode
It’s anti-tech rhetoric so it works well here in HN. That’s the entire purpose of it.

Not to say ads on fridges aren’t stupid. But they are stupid enough by themselves; they don’t have to make up stories about them.

nsoqm··on BMW PHEV: Safety fuse replacement is extremely expensive
It’s about productivity, not about the raw amount of hours.
nsoqm··on Jolla Phone Pre-Order
Nobody has confused Jolla with Volla, mostly because nobody has ever heard of Volla.
nsoqm··on H-1B Workers Now Required to Make Social Media Profiles Public
> limiting H1B is likely bad for the US

Think of the poor billionaires :(

nsoqm··on The US polluters that are rewriting the EU's human rights and climate law
Then vote for it. Seems a growing majority disagree with you now. Maybe those policies haven’t worked well for them.
nsoqm··on The US polluters that are rewriting the EU's human rights and climate law
That’s the theory. What’s happening is the complete opposite. Thank the government for it.
nsoqm··on The US polluters that are rewriting the EU's human rights and climate law
Actually this was (and still is) commonplace these last decades, for poor and rich people alike. Even the poorest could afford to have a car and put petrol in it. It's becoming untenable for the younger generations because of government intervention and mishandling of the economy.
