IT dingus from Germany who'll move to Australia soon™

  • Find Cow

    Jump

  • "COC" Hehe

  • Vegemite - i don't hate it, i don't love it. Am i missing something?

    Jump

  • It's very much an acquired taste kinda thing. I feel that most people use it wrong; spreading it way to thick or eating it out of the jar (good god). I think Vegemite is too strong/overpowering on its own and really meant to almost be a garnish.

    I'm German, so not really certified to talk about it but I do like Vegemite. You toast some toast, spread butter on it, then a thin layer of Vegemite and then add a slice of cheese.

  • How Sam Altman’s victory over Elon Musk clears way for OpenAI’s trillion-dollar ambitions

    Jump

  • No matter who wins, everyone loses

  • Samuel's visa status made him easier to exploit. A new project hopes to help migrants like him

    Jump

  • This seems to be largely aimed towards people with limited understanding of the English language and/or people who are not sure of their rights, but I feel a bit better knowing that this institution now exists as well.

    I'll be in the same vulnerable position soon and I can't imagine a worse situation to be in than being exploited by an employer who knows that you pretty much have no choice but keep working for them if you don't want your visa to be cancelled.

  • What dead car brand would you want to bring back and why?

    Jump

  • Wiesmann, or any other small-scale German sports car manufacturer for that matter. It seems like all sports car brands are owned by big conglomerates nowadays, and nearly all of them are pretty boring and generic as a result.

    I know that Wiesmann is still around but they're nothing but a shell of what they once were.

    Shoutouts to Roland Gumpert.

  • 100% this.

    Another thing that disappeared with Holden and Ford Australia are normal sized utes, nowadays it's just all gigantic pick-up trucks.

  • Valve removes free horror game from Steam after players discover it contains malware that steals your data

    Jump

  • There are so many games on Steam and every dey a few hundred more are added. I assume there are automated checks and rudimentary malware scans in place but those aren't fault proof.

  • An 81-Year-Old Grandma Streaming Minecraft To Pay For Grandson’s Cancer Treatment Has Been Swatted

    Jump

  • At least she took it with a sense of humour.

  • Barnes & Noble CEO backs selling AI-written books in stores

    Jump

  • Can't wait to read about people dying because they believed AI-generated books on foraging, or medicine, or BDSM... The LEAST they could do is label the books as AI.

  • Data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in Phoenix

    Jump

  • Don't drag Germany into this....

    Actually, do whatever to Germany I don't really care

  • Data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in Phoenix

    Jump

  • It's funny how the last decade or so we were always told to save water and ditch the car, you know, be as environmentally friendly as possible only for big companies to come along and basically do the opposite; again and again.

    The world is going to shit and everyone knows it, but money talks I guess... I can't fucking take it anymore.

  • Windows 11 looks and runs better without transparency or animations—here's how to disable both

    Jump

  • Especially settings that make you computer faster

  • TISM fined for $18,000 in damage to Sydney Opera House ahead of national tour

    Jump

  • "Subversive art-pop" WTF is that?

  • Linus Torvalds says AI-powered bug hunters have made Linux security mailing list ‘almost entirely unmanageable’

    Jump

  • Naaahhh, he's not like that... I never met him but he can't be like that; I mean look at him.

  • Linus Torvalds says AI-powered bug hunters have made Linux security mailing list ‘almost entirely unmanageable’

    Jump

  • He looks so friendly and approachable in that picture

  • ‘You’ll hold out for a while’: Silicon Valley now pushing to implant chip in your brain, knows you’ll give in eventually

    Jump

  • Yeah, look at NeuraLink and how successful that was at being a thing.

  • Windows 11 looks and runs better without transparency or animations—here's how to disable both

    Jump

  • Does there really need to be an article about this? I mean it should be a no brainer. Not that it changes much, it's still Windows 11 at the end of the day.

  • Melbourne psychiatrist refuses new patients who don’t consent to AI note-taking

    Jump

  • Because psychiatrist's appointments weren't difficult enough to get?

  • Nearly 50,000 Lake Tahoe residents have one year to find new power as their utility pivots to data centers

    Jump

  • At least they're still trusting their software engineers to use it. My employer hired a bunch of people for their "AI taskforce", the leader of which can't even be bothered to use a password on his vibecoded SQL database full of sensitive company data. And you can bet your ass he's getting paid three times as much as anyone in the IT department.

    Best thing is that they're expecting us to take care of their mistakes.
