you’ve got 13 months in a year?

Which Europeans? because there is no such thing as “Europeans”. At least in my part of Europe tipping is pretty rare, and not expected at all.

What the heck are you doing, doesn’t every single player just… play the music? How could the quality be worse?? I can imagine having gripes about the UI of some players, but the quality??

What do you mean? there are so many audio clients that can can connect to jellyfin. finamp, jellyamp, sonixd, … What is it you’re missing in a jellyfin audioplayer?

You know what, i’m in :) On my field, i’ll have a ship on every single square, so no matter where you aim, you score a hit :) And on your field, you just have 1 ship of 5 long, so i have only a 5% chance to hit :).

Do remember though, the game ends when all our ships are sunk.

So you will have to do 100 shots every round to win (covering every single square) While i just have to find your ship (with some basic strategies, i’d estimate not even needing 20 shot to do that), and then i win :).

… starting to get it? XD

you’re focusing so hard on how easy it is to hit a ship, that you forget the goal of the game: sink every ship.

If my entire playfield is ships, you’ll indeed hit with every single shots, but you’ll also need the maximum of 100 shots every game to ‘win’ XD.

Just so you know: the valuation of SpaceX has nothing to do with the space side of the company. If you look at their projected revenue, the rockets etc… are a footnote. but SpaceX acquired XAI, and literally all of this projected growth is SpaceX becoming the leading AI company in the next decade.

(and i wish i was joking, but i see everybody here wondering how a space company could possible grow that much, or be expected to. And the answer obviously is it can’t, and noone expects it to. But an AI company in this AI bubble, that people believe…)

Suppose we all did read the docs. How possible is it with the complexity of a modern system to really take literally everything in account, and understand the implications oof everything to keep your system safe? It’s great that it’s documented, but if security isn’t the default option, it will lead to issues, and everything has become so complex, that imo correctly managing everything is literally impossible… This is a systemic issue, not a user issue.

I haven’t seen it mentioned here yet, but software freedom conservancy is doing a fundraiser to bring bambulab to court, any donation from now till half july will be part of the fundraiser: https://sfconservancy.org/donate/

What do you mean by “cheating in games is just not that serious”? If you mean viewing life in general, it’s not much of an issue: for sure. If you mean for specific games it’s not much of an issue, disagree. There really are games that are being completely ruined by cheaters, and that’s what they’re trying to combat.

And if you ask my solution, why have games boot into their own OS where they can do anticheat in that kernel, instead of the kernel i use for other things too. Something that would achieve that conveniently would be awesome, it’s not as if pc’s still take ages to boot.

Can you agree we can’t put an infinite amount of people on a finite planet?

So that by default the discussion is not if overpopulation can exist, but when we reached it? If you don’t feel we reached it yet, i can imagine that. It’s a very tough topic. But just the very basic facts of existing on a planet of finite size means that there can only be so many of us before everything collapses.

And which fascist things do you associate with the “overpopulation” topic (i imagine for example the one child policy in china?). It’s not because something has been used by fascism, that it’s inherently fascist.

It kind of says a lot about this place that some slight pedantry is immediately viewed as malice…

And this meme is still terrible :p

Current agricultural progress is mostly about needing as few people as possible for farming, not making enough food for everyone. It’s widely known there is plenty of food, the issues are social as to why some are still hungry, not technological.

And in the end, we’re on a finite planet, so whichever way you look at it, keeping increasing population numbers has to end somewhere, so the question is not does enough humans exist, but what is enough, and i think there are plenty of arguments thaht we’re overpopulating the earth already.

You’re quickly glossing over all the issues.

“human population has only been able to increase thanks to innovation”: and that’s a good thing? What would be wrong with a more manageable human population?

“If you want to go back to nature, by all means do.”: how? The world has advanced beyond that, it’s clearly not an option.

“the only way forward is through science and innovation”: if science & innovation is what you call forward, then obviously yes, but that’s just a tautology. What is your measure of “forward”? If it’s power over nature, advancements, … then for sure. If it’s respecting this earth and not long term ruining the entire planet… how sure are you about that?

“limiting roundup”: ah, an innovation that should be limited. What went wrong that it was globally used before we were sure enough about its side effects? How sure are you about all the current innovations that they don’t have similar issues? How sure are you about this bee superfood not having disastrous long term effects?

If you ignore all the issues with it though, innovation is incredible for sure!

I’m interested in your opinion, but can you like maybe not just post a personal attack, and explain why you think what the guy you replied to is stupid?

From my experience, what he describes really reflects what we see happening in the world all the time. layers of layers of us causing issues, and then solving them with more technologies, creating new problems, etc… etc… etc…

And the big bet is that we’re not digging ourselves into a very deep hole. In the end, the existential threat of global warming is one of the examples. We kept solving problems with burning more & more burning of fossil fuels, and then suddenly “o crap”.

I had to look up concern troll, it’s apparently an evil kind of devils advocate.

And how is what i posted (comparing the worst what is said about republicans with the worst that is said about democrats) a false equivalency, but this post that compares the worst of one side with the best of the other side not?

All i’m saying is making this kind of false equivalencies just weakens your position. From what i can tell it’s indeed obvious the real fucking evil that’s happening in the USA (i’m from europe, so i of course have to go by what i can see & read online). So it should be freakin easy to make your point without silly posts like this that are such an obvious false equivalence that it’s imo just pathetic.

But having standards for the communication of the side i prefer is a thought crime here it seems? And i’m then somehow accused of the exact thing the original post is doing and that i’m complaining about. So you find false equivalencies an issue, but don’t see an issue with the post here?

like… wow… really really really… wow…

I love how everyone is offended, but can’t even write out why XD. But fair enough, if you guys just want to preach to the choir, have fun :). (and no, i’m not even saying that democrats " let foreigners invade our country, and let them rape our women and children.", just that if you use the worst stereotype about the republicans, you can at least put it opposite the worst stereotype of democrats. You know, make a fair comparison, not your worst stereotype about “the others” versus what we like about ourselves.)

Wow, some slight critisism about this meme and it gets removed? …

And for misinformation no less, that was the reason given.

Can someone help a poor lemming and point to the “misinformation” that warrants the following remark to get deleted? I’m very open to dialogue :)

“It’s not that i don’t get the sentiment, but these extremely biased posts don’t really add much to the discussion either -_-… If we’re gonna go with the worst of what’s claimed about the right wing, shouldn’t you contrast it with the worst of what is claimed about the left wing? “One side wants to bring back slavery, nazis, fascism, and women not being allowed to vote or own property. The other side just wants to let foreigners invade our country, and let them rape our women and children.” This post returns here every month or so, and i really hate it. I kind of get the sentiment obviously, but this “lets put the worst things claimed about the others be contrasted to the best things we think about ourselves”, are just preaching for the choir, and just sowing extra division in an already extremely divided world. You know that what you claim about the right may have some truth, but is far from the accepted position. And you also know there are equally bad claims about the left from the right, that also have some truth in them… I wish this was the last time i’d see this silly post here, but that’s wishful thinking i guess…”

Ah yes, wanting honest discourse and a bit less divisive language obviously makes me either republican… or a bot… wow… now, not entire unexpected for a reaction if you dare speak up in an echochamber…

I would love though to hear your reasoning about why i possible couldn’t be a real human left wing :). This gonna be good :).

The “optimized for features” bothered me a bit of concept.

I think i now narrowed it down on how i see it: It’s optimized for predictability, and lack of need of really skilled people. Real optimization requires real skill, and is inherently unpredictable. You can aim high, but how achievable it is, isn’t always clear up front. But the current way, makes software engineering more predictable, and hiring also, you just need average programmers who can more or less use frameworks the way they’re intended, and that’s enough.

It’s just planning for what you know is predictable, and you can actually promise to your customers. And it does kind of suck, but from an economic/business sense, i can kind of understand it…
