They are “fucking with” NATO, historically, but not attack. Lots of “im not touching you im not touching you” on the borders and north sea. Military submarines where they are not supposed to be. Sudden declarations of artillery practice in international waters causing ship travel to reroute, then not actually doing practice…

Ah, they found it. Was wondering who went in to downvote all the discussion.

Anyhoo “haters gonna hate” is supposed to mean that you are succeeding despite the criticism.

It doesn’t really have the same bite while still begging.

You make it, and now it’s a somewhat safe place for people to form discussions that validate pedophilia. Several discussions now are adjacent to that topic, via adoption discussion, sneakernet dissemination, countries with lax laws, discussions around age of consent, definitions of nudity, what is considered public spaces for photography…

At some point it is no longer pure philosophical discussions in neutral faith, but a breeding ground for pure shit. How do you determine if that point is reached? How do you decide where the line goes? How do you adjust the rules to adjust for this?

The above is not hypothetical. It specifically has ruined a few online spaces. Other topics like the Trump cult has a different pattern.

Each type of topic needs a different style, tolerance and shape of moderation for this, so it’s more effective to look for this per topic instead of a general solution.

E.g. transgender discussion has different problems than russian aggression discussion, different problem actors using different strategies, and are solved by very different types of moderation.

Discussing which language should take precedence in schools, in countries with multiple official languages, needs a wildly different set of rules, moderation, tolerances and even moderator knowledge.

Exactly that. Even someone who supports their war should want to kick them out of the competition for ruining the voting.

If you confuse and distract other drivers, that’s endangering traffic and police will remove you.

Their admin tried to advertise it to !gaming yesterday, by linking to his community for downloading malware posing as pirated AAA games.

I kept an unreasonably open mind and went to look though the site, and it seemed hopeless as a concept. Especially their statement that they could not reconcile moderation with free speech, shows that they aren’t mentally equipped to run a site.

“Q: Will this site be overrun with racists?”, “A: If people offend you, block them. If a community is dominated by people you don’t get along with, leave it.”

Yeah buddy that’s exactly the decision we make for your entire site.

The phrase “migrate to web3” is an absurdist joke. It’s something I would say to prank a colleague.

It provably isn’t, so I’d have to lean on dishonest proof. My contenders are:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettle_logic Tim Bernes Lee said the internet was’t actually feasible. They just theorized the concept. Also, the initial darpanet servers that supposedly turned into the internet were shut down in 1965. Network cables would actually melt if they transferred data on internet scale.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_composition Need proof? The internet’s most prominent facet is MMOs: Simulated worlds.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_projection_fallacy It’s just pixels moving on my screen, people. It’s not real in any real sense. The computer is making all the words show up on my screen by following its internal machinery.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_assertion It is a simulation. The internet is clearly a simulation. Everyone says it’s a simulation. The intetnet is a simulation.

Nuclear is less expensive and more scalable than solar, wind, hydro.

It does not boil the planet like fossil fuels.

Yes it takes time and money to set up, but that’s a short term cost.

This is assumed to be widely known, so critical questions that don’t take that into account are assumed to be either in bad faith or laziness.

“Thorny problem of waste disposal” is such a shitty phrase. The alternatives of coal and oil have more damaging waste disposed straight out into the atmosphere. We just don’t demand shit from those industries, while nuclear needs to be beyond perfect to be an alternative.

Well, those are toy amounts and not investment amounts, so this is more of a question of whether you want to keep some BTC for fun, or selling it off and focus on other hobbies.

Unless you want to play around trading the BTC on exchanges in the near future, I’d say just sell off.

It can’t exist meaningfully in a world of patents, trade secrets, vendor lock-ins and closed source.

I’m not installing something that I can’t inspect, modify or service anywhere I please.

Remember that we are not players in Web3 games. We are mobs to be farmed.

“Web3 Gaming” is gaming played by speculators and investors.

The products they create are disposable tools used to manipulate and farm regular gamers for cash.

Sounds like your computer has a bit lower RAM than it needs, in which case it “swaps”.

This means taking some memory that’s not been used for a while and writing it to disk, and using the now free RAM for what you are currently doing.

When starting a game, it likely swaps out browser memory to make room for the game. It loads all it needs into RAM to make the game run smooth.

When tabbing out of the game, it swaps game memory to disk and swaps in browser memory.

When going back to the game, it will swap game memory back in in bits and pieces. Turn around, the game needs to draw that door texture. That needs to be swapped back into RAM from disk. Slight stutter, then normal. Walk a bit further, it needs to play footstep sounds. Those needs to be fetched back in from disk. And so on.

Writing/reading from a HDD makes noise and vibration, since it’s internally a core of spinning disks with several small motors moving back and forth.

An SSD has no moving parts and will not make noise. Stutters will be shorter, but still happen.

Adding more RAM will reduce or remove the need to swap to disk in the first place, and is the most useful upgrade to alleviate the issue.

Nice! If you can play focused enough to rocket in 8h, the rest is just planning. :)

Thanks, friend! I’m all in all in a consistent good place and living a very active functional life, but it’s 30% medication, 30% being stubbornly careful of what I let into my head, and 40% luck.

They are unstructured any fugly, but not spaghetti. Spaghetti prevents rapid copy-pasting of meaningful sections.

This is the Nauvis industrial backbone. Very few things overlap or intertwine, but it’s a terrible mess.

I genereally agree, but I feel some nuance is missing: That is assuming a “harmful” environment is total toxicity and something you can just leave with no ill effects.

Sometimes the environment that hurts you is normal-ish and even “nice”, but you personally are sensitive to some aspects of it, making it exhausting. It gives you purpose and happiness and you may not want to leave it.

Sometimes you have to stick to a harsh job because you have responsibilities. I’d rather take reasonably harmless medicine like melatonin and beta blockers to reduce the effects of stress and have a fulfilling life raising and supporting my kids, than saying “Work and life makes dad sad. I need to move to Spain and be a bartender at a beach. Sorry kids, I’m sure someone will find you a foster home bye.”

The medication stigma is based on basically magic thinking: That medicine is alien, external, unnatural while the human body is pure and natural. Therefore any difference between medicated and unmedicated is artificial and caused by the medicine.

No, the body is fucking dropping terror chemicals in my bloodstream. It is changing my personality from easygoing and outgoing to snippy and reclusive. The body is malfunctioning and changing my personality for the worse.

The medicine is reducing the amount and effectiveness of the body’s excess of terror chemicals. It restores normality.
