There are interesting clips from his stand-up when he takes questions from the audience. Usually he wants to fuck their moms, but occasionally there are very intriguing and intelligent answers.

The list is too long to remember, and I don’t look it up every single time I mention a comedian.

A whole server dedicated to OSHA violations. Wow.

Let’s see what the Steam Machine will do for Linux on desktop. 2026 will be interesting.

DC/Netflix? DC goes to Paramount (= Jared Kushner). 😢

The privacy laws of Germany (Datenschutzgesetz) apply to individuals, too.

Sounds like Bluesky’s favorite beverage.

You got this wrong. Europeans are breaking European privacy laws if they give the US customs data about other people (family, etc.) without their consent. The fine would be by their own country, not by the USA. And European countries typically take back all their citizens.

I enjoyed a few movies that everyone else was shitting on. I know the feeling.

This one I couldn’t stand. But Coppola is no fool. Maybe I missed something. I will give it a try again, but not at a theater. And not too soon after my first try.

I think Riley Finn was meant to be eye candy for the female audience of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” but they all hated him.

What German kids in the 19th century got taught:

An 1845 German children’s book called “Der Struwwelpeter” has a story about three boys teasing a dark-skinned boy. Saint Nicholas is punishing them.

Translation costs either money or user data. Probably a political issue.

Personally, I still can’t understand why Lemmy needs to deal with post and comment languages anyway. It’s a reasonable feature for microblogging. But when you start sorting content into groups (aka boards, communities, etc.), you don’t really need to mix different languages to discuss one specific topic.

Netnews and Bulletin Board Systems had language- and location-specific communities. Everyone participating in one of these communities/groups/boards was writing in the same language.

Don’t forget about Space Rangers!

I read it in her voice.

There were games from my wishlist on sale that I haven’t bought because my current system isn’t ready. So I’m in the market for a new PC. (And because Windows 10 support runs out in October 2026.)

One of the games is a PC port of a PS5 game. If the trend continues, I probably want to run a PC port of a PS6 game in 2032. Preferably on a PC I bought in 2026.

Centralized has advantages for normal users who want to report bugs.

I remember when people started migrating to GitHub from Google Code. Most users have some Google account that they could use to report bugs. But GitHub was new.

For a long time I tried reaching developers by mail, but this wasn’t possible anymore. I had to create a GitHub account.
