Pretends to write software. Given enough coffee, I could rule the world. Opinions expressed here are those of the voices in my head.

I'm no longer here. You can find me at https://t.co/r8J8cdlPP2 from now on.

@DrumM8t @StopBSCampaign That doesn't mean there aren't serious question marks or issues with hydrogen cars. There are valid questions about efficiency, splitting efforts setting up competing refueling/charging infrastructure, etc. But that's not what's being argued here.

[Wim @wvdschel]

@DrumM8t @StopBSCampaign I don't accept the logic of "there's more BEVs" or "there's more charging infrastructure". By following that logic, we would have just stuck to fossil fuels, since they had (have) more market share and infrastructure.

I think this argument is just circular reasoning.

@1Marc Hasn't software generally been getting more broken since the dot com boom? Maybe even longer?

But recent developments may have accelerated the process.

[Wim @wvdschel]

@noverloop Holy shit. Why haven't I done this before? Just follow politicians who are likely to have an inside track on policy changes or likely to line their own pockets through their office, and $$$

Which politicians are required to declare their investments, and where?

@DrumM8t @laflammerouge16 Hij bedoeld dat Evenepoel rechtsachter gaat spelen bij de rode duivels vnv denk ik. Een crossover/collab tussen sporten om een nieuw publiek aan te trekken 😉

@hmemcpy CVS, pft, that's half decent! I was forced to use Rational Synergy on my first job. It was awful. Per file branching & check-in locking. Want to work on multiple files? Better make sure you lock all of them in some Windows 3 style GUI, and pray that you don't need any more.

@NickDCarver Such a tough choice! For me it would have to be Civ 1 (https://t.co/PWrIHkRX9o) or Pokemon Blue (https://t.co/p6TgLkgT0v)

@noverloop @MichaelAArouet But also yes, a lot of people are scared of the risk of the stock market, while mostly pretending inflation doesn't affect their savings.

[Wim @wvdschel]

@noverloop @MichaelAArouet Another difference is housing. Most people in Europe seem to prioritise owning their residence over investing. Whether that's a good choice, not sure, but given the price of rent and real estate the past few years, it certainly doesn't seem like you want to be renting forever.

@DrumM8t @RadarHits

[Wim @wvdschel]

@shehackspurple Yes. Don't know how they got it, but there's a few recruitment companies that somehow got my number. They keep calling me every other week to have the same chat with a different person.

[Wim @wvdschel]

@robertgraham @MWollenweber Yes. They get shipped by fences and gangs to China, where they are scavenged for parts. There's a whole industry around this. Same as with other Apple devices.

[Wim @wvdschel]

@noverloop @secretsqrl123 Doesn't invalidate the argument. I like my world pre-apocalyptic, thanks.

[Wim @wvdschel]

@noverloop @secretsqrl123 If Russia got any whiff of western nations fomenting unrest or initiating offensive operations in order to open a second front, Russian leaders would feel completely justified to use their nuclear arsenal.

[Wim @wvdschel]

@noverloop @secretsqrl123 Regardless of numbers, this is impossible simply because of the nuclear detergent though.

@NoodlecakeGames @funselektor @schadock Just bought it and my controller doesn't work. Do I need to do anything special? It reports as a PS4 controller in other games.

[Wim @wvdschel]

@NoodlecakeGames @funselektor @schadock I have this Android handheld I use for casual couch gaming, but it'll probably be to weak then. It runs Absolute Drift at high, but barely...

[Wim @wvdschel]

@funselektor @schadock Does it have controller support? Will it run on shitty hardware as well?

[Wim @wvdschel]

@DrumM8t @SawyerMerritt Nee eerder dat hij nog langer geworden is :) Range is zeker prima. Model 3 is echter wel geen luxewagen, als je de commentaren mag geloven van mensen die er met een rijden/reden. Maar voor die prijs is dat ook niet te verwachten in 2024 denk ik.
