You do have a point. TBH I only now realized that the video was posted from Doctorow’s personal account, and without a link to the “original”, which yeah, kinda weird.

The talk itself is still worth it (had the fortune of sitting in the audience), but probably a good idea to use the media.ccc.de link.

Originally/additionally hosted on media.ccc.de

The show is endlessly quotable

Mallory Archer?

Came here for this

My favorite math joke to this day is:

How many math professors does it take to change a lightbulb?

The answer is trivial and left as an exercise to the reader.

The number of recent updates, it seems. Which is probbaly an OK metric.

Graphene explicitly says the 400k are worldwide. You cannot then go ahead and use the US numbers for your comparison. From your own source, Google shipped 10 million Pixel 9 devices in 2023 alone. This does not account for other/older pixel models, or the sum total of sales before that point, or since.

Why not just share the actual number: worldwide, there’s 400k users.

Surfshark does too

So do many others, I’d assume

I will never understand why people wear wear-once, then throw-away clothes.

• if I like the piece of clothing, I want to keep it for as long as possible

Fantastic. Best use of language models I’ve seen.

No - because the do not count trains that either never started their journey, or that stopped midway through and turned around. It’s a really sorry trick to make the statistic look “better”.

“It’s not delayed, it just… Jever got there!”

I have not opened my SMS app in years.

But that actually is an asshole move then. Because a lot of emotional attachment and memories can be in a chat.

Sounds like you never wanted to be friends, just fuck them.

I’m almost sorry to be blunt, but…

Women don’t want to be chased. You’re a misogynist who has reduced women to “people to have sex with” in your own mind.

If you change that, you gain the possibility of actual connections, including intimacy, with them; if you don’t, you don’t. Either way it’s up to you if you want the status quo to continue or to improve.

To be fair, you can simply selfhost MinIO.

Wait, not the other way round? One tale per 70-min episode?

(With the priest’s tale getting an initial 1.5hrs opening episode? 👀)

And what is the advantage of that?
