  • I'm afraid I Kant give you good Marx for such bad jokes. They just Arendt good enough to waste my Lessing time on them.

  • 3.14 is pi π, the golden ratio is 1.618 or phi φ.

  • This has nothing to do with Signalgate directly, except that it affects some of the same Trump officials.

    Furthermore, the main concerns about Signalgate isn't Signal's security. While we can obviously never fully rule out that Signal could be compromised, there are many other ways the chat could get compromised:

    1. Someone's Signal account could get compromised if someone else steals or guesses the password (like in the Spiegel article).
    2. Some unauthorized person could accidentally get invited to the chat (for example a journalist from the Atlantic).
    3. One of the phones could get hacked. (This is likely to happen if someone takes their phone to Russia.)

    Additionally, Signal was used to avoid any records of what was discussed.

  • I think the Euro would primarily be for countries in the inner circle with exceptions made for microstates like San Marino or Andorra which already use the Euro. I'm not sure if adopting the Euro would provide much benefit to Canada. Membership in the European Economic Area (EEA, basically the single market), or some light version of the single market, might make more sense for Canada.

  • Moses crossing the red sea? I don't know but the route on the map definitely crosses from Africa to Asia too far south.

  • They are called Pfannkuchen in former West Germany and Eierkuchen in former East Germany. In the East, Pfannkuchen refers to something more akin to a doughnut, called Berliner or Krapfen in the West.

  • Maybe the November 2024 spike was caused by VPN users?

  • I further looked up interest in the search term Lemmy as a social network in Iceland over the last five years and found a peak in November 2024.

    I can't really find a good explanation for that. Lemmy Kilmister was both born and died in the month of December, but this doesn't explain an Iceland specific peak only in the year 2024, nine years after his death and 79 years after his birth. There was also a concert by the band GulaR bauniR at the Lemmy bar in Reykjavik in November 2024, maybe that's the reason?

  • Your chart of world-wide interest in the search term Lemmy as a social network shows a peak in July 2023, probably caused by the Reddit API drama. Iceland, meanwhile, is curiously the country with the most imterest in this search term.

    Google offers three categorizations for the search term Lemmy:

    • this social network,
    • the musician Lemmy Kilmister, and
    • a film about his life.

    I looked up interest in the search term Lemmy in Iceland specifically without applying any categorization, for all time and for the last five years.

    On the first chart (all time), there are two noticeable peaks: one in 2015, the year Lemmy Kilmister died, and one in 2022, about a year before the Reddit API drama.

    On the second chart (last 5 years), there are noticeable peaks every summer since 2022. I googled Iceland Lemmy, and stumbled across a bar, restaurant and music venue in Reykjavik called Lemmy. I'd guess it's named after Kilmister. This venue's Facebook page was created in October 2021. Some more research brought up a rock festival organised by the venue called ROKKHÁTÍÐ LEMMY which seems to take place every year since 2022 in late July or early August.

    My guess is that Google, to some degree at least, confuses interest in this festival for interest in the social network of the same name.

  • The UK's first-past-the-post electoral system usually ensures that one party wins more than 50% of seats, often without winning more than 50% of the votes.

  • It took me way to long to realise that bereal probably doesn't rhyme with cereal.

  • Her sign doesn't tell people who don't think she's sexy what to do. A better statement would have been: run if and only if you think I'm sexy.

  • Marder documentaries (where Germans learn everything there is to know about Mustelidae)
