No quantum mechanics. Things have concrete properties even when no one’s watching, and they can all be observed at the same time. The universe is complex but understandable.

Also, P=NP and π is 3.33 repeating, just for the lols.

How is “being bad” decided?

If it’s decided internally (“bad” is what you believe is bad), then all the objectivists get a free pass for being assholes. Hitler is a supermodel, etc.

If it’s decided externally (there’s an universal definition of “bad”), how far into the future does it propagate? If I rescue from drowning someone who will genocide all the Dutch in the future, when do I go bald?

That said, beauty pageants would be much funnier, with trolley problems instead of talent competitions.

Spacewar! was a F2P PvP game with no microtransactions and no battle pass. Although it’s hard to quantify exact player numbers (it precedes Steam charts), for a while it was the most played videogame in the world.

Its real-time graphics and multiplayer combat were very influential, and widely copied by many other games.

If you’re referring to the US’ Video Privacy Protection Act, it was passed only because it slightly embarrassed a Supreme Court nominee.

So for there to be half-decent online privacy laws in the US, first someone will have to leak Clarence Thomas’ Pornhub search history or something like that.

The TV UI is horrible and has negative development: Less features and more bugs every release.

Do you want to go to a video’s channel? Well, that depends on where you are:

• Go to Home.

• Long-press on a video.

• Press “Go to channel”.

• Go to Subscriptions.

• Long-press on a video.

• Fewer options because fuck you.

• Start the video, press down, up, right, select.

• Oh, it was a short video? You fell into the trap! Down goes to another video. Go back, select the video again, press right, right, select.

And that’s just one example.

I like the ideas behind PRQL, although I’ve never used it in an actual project. It compiles down to SQL but has a clearer model based on pipeline and a much better suntax.

Malloy is a similar project but I haven’t look into it yet.

My hot take: Vi, make and C would have gone the way of COBOL a long time ago if it wasn’t for a lot of programmers thinking “my tools are more difficult to use, hence I’m a better programmer”.

Regarding the IP address, how are they going to get it? I assumed that servers wouldn’t pass them along to other nodes, isn’t that the case?

Look up the Everburn Blade in Baldur’s Gate 3.

REMEMBER US! REMEMBER THAT WE ONCE LIVED!

It’s the same, but in the US you have to add the sales tax ($2) and then tip at least 110%. That brings the total to $21.

I run my own Synapse server with bridges to WhatsApp and Telegram, along with a few other services, using Yunohost. I haven’t observed any huge resource usage, and I like the centralized management/update. One possible downside is that you won’t get the latest versions immediately, the Yunohost maintainers take time to test those. I prefer the stability that gives me but if you want to be on the edge a docker setup will be better.

Yes, that’s what the page I linked to says, and why I said “popularized” and not “originated”.

A real-life moth was found to be the cause of errors in a computer, popularizing the terms “bug” and “debugging”. The culprit was attached to the report as proof:

This is terrible, and Russia should be punished for it.

The correct way of influencing Spanish-speaking countries is to install fascist puppet dictatorships. Arming and bank-rolling right-wing militias is also accepted, you won’t be getting DW articles about that.

Yes, that’s the plan. The update from 9 to 10 was really easy, the only problem I got was some Python apps which needed a manual pip refresh, but the instructions were all there.

AFAIK, Yunohost on bookworm is already in testing but it’ll be released when the devs feel the update is working correctly.

Workers created Reddit, like everything else. Economic systems don’t create anything, only determine who profits from those creations.
