Since when are trans underrepresented in tech? If anything they are overrepresented

fafqg | 2 years ago | on: Ignore Microsoft’s whines about the Activision takeover. The CMA did its job
>"The chair of the CMA, its chief executive and the rest of the board are appointed by the business secretary of the elected government" if I'm reading this correctly, UK citizens elect a government, the government appoints a business secretary, and then the business secretary appoints the entire CMA? So that would be two layers of disconnect from the voter.
You should see the European Commission.

Let's not forget that Epstein's list hasn't been made public and that no one on that list has been prosecuted.

I don't agree that this is Meta's fault. They gave females a window to the world and that made them depressed. Does this mean Meta should just close shop? Are they responsible for the mental health of their users?

It's normal for humans to compare themselves to their peers. That's how we have achieved the level of greatness that we currently enjoy: by competing. Males do it positively and females do it negatively. My theory is that this has gotten out of hand with the boom of Instagram and it shows.

Doesn't it sound like the best argument of them all? After all we write software for the users to enjoy.

Interesting, I live in Spain and every home I've been to has one.

I can't see anything there, it asks me to log in.

This doesn't seem to be correct.
fafqg | 2 years ago | on: OpenAI closes its monster $10B funding round at $27B-29B valuation
You could say the same about many SaaS projects. Why pay for an expensive GPU upfront and then some guy who can install it, configure it, create some sort of interface for you to talk to it... when you can just pay openai to do it for less money?

Careful with that. Lack of cholesterol, especially at an advanced age, causes Alzheimer.
fafqg | 2 years ago | on: Call on the IRS to provide libre tax-filing software
A tax bill that includes everything you have to pay but no deductions. So you have to pay for tax software or someone to do your taxes anyway or you get ripped off by the government. I would rather get ripped off by a corporation.

A browser costs a shitton of money to make. Even if you are just forking you need a lot of manpower. So no, you will never get a completely free browser that doesn't suck (slow, late to get security updates, can't render things right...)

What you call the "extra reverse proxy" is cgnat and cgnat doesn't add more latency than any other host in the path to the destination server.

Have you looked at what's popular in general?
And with that information in mind, do you think it is desirable to be popular, that something being popular is a good endorsement of it?
fafqg | 2 years ago | on: Thinking about our passive exposure to IPv6 issues
Something they will have to think about the day that there are IPv6-only services. Which is not today or anytime soon.

>IPv6 is pretty great. You don’t run out of numbers locally, you don’t run out of numbers globally.
If that's everything IPv6 has going for it it's no wonder its adoption is still so low.
