    I don't believe this claim to be true. If you insist that it really is true, could you please point to the exact place in the US constitution that prohibits a permanent standing army?

  • Beyond enshittification, why does tech oftentimes suck?
  • darklamer darklamer Now 100%

    Why is it so pervasive? And why does some of it seem to be ignored for literal years?

    Considering that you know that these problems have not yet been fixed, you must still be using these products despite these problems not yet being fixed and there's your answer: What would the motivation be to fix problems that aren't severe enough to make you stop using the product?

    Doesn't need any comment:

    int getCount() { return count; }

    Absolutely needs a very extensive comment:

    double getBojangleFlux { return fubar * .42; }

    Fantastic argument! 🤣

    On the other hand, I've worked together with a lot of IIT guys and there was definitely nothing wrong with their technical education.

    On a side note, "Lund" means "penis" in many Indian languages.

    David Batra, comedian from Lund with an Indian father, has ensured that the people of Lund are well aware of this. 😉

    The funny thing about that quote is that it really was a Unix system that was shown on screen.

  • Which are lesser-known movies that are well worth seeing?
  • darklamer darklamer Now 100%

    Fantastic! If that's the level for lesser known then you're perfectly right, most of the world's most celebrated, successful and influential filmmakers then certainly count as lesser known.

    The question was about "lesser-known movies", but Wong Kar-Wai and his movies are (for obvious reasons) very well-known.

  • Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second
  • darklamer darklamer Now 19%

    Okay. So how do we turn it off!?

    This is probably not the reply you want, but as someone who (in the past 40+ years) has never owned a TV, I simply can't refrain from asking: Have you considered simply not owning a TV?

    Your friend sets you up on a date. Are you going to treat that person horribly. Of course not. Why? First and foremost, because you're not a dick.

    I have in my life met a number of people to whom you might want to explain that this was how they were supposed to behave.

    Both my employer and my home ISP use IPv6 since many years now and so does all my own stuff, it's wonderfully convenient to have a globally unique address for everything that I connect to the network.

    Golden eagles have suddenly attacked four different people across a large geographic area in Norway during the past five days. Ornithologists have no explanation for this abnormal behaviour.
