Water is wayyy stronger than air. They were not made for electricity but they had a lot of mechanical forces. Honestly in remote places in mountainous regions, I’ve seen small hydropower projects with turbines the size of water mills power a whole village. Of course they only use it for lights, charging phones and batteries. But it’s good enough compared to the alternative (no electricity)

Only applies if they are not owned by the same company. Or a handful of companies.

We’ve moved past the point where they can get new customers that previously didn’t or will use dating apps. They know we don’t have other choices, they know everyone will use it, and they will use multiple apps.

Arch now has archinstall. So the setup is pretty fast. And if you sync your dotfiles, and have a list of packages to install, you can setup in an hour or so

From someone who installed manjaro because I thought it’d be easier arch, but did not last more than a month

I live like this, it has been 10 years, no problem

In that case wouldn’t we just make local networks with our family, and then maybe neighbors. Just have a network that’s not connected to the Internet but still connected to each other. I think we’d just have couple of programming tools, make things, and still use computers, but just the way it was in the beginning, and with everyone making their own things.

Maybe there’d be people using long distance communication protocols to make something that is not the current Internet. Unless that becomes illegal. But can radio waves be illegal? We just need to transmit data somehow

I’ve used inkscape to edit PDFs. It’s not perfect but it’s really good. I think it might not do the best job of recovering original objects (idk if that’s possible given how PDFs work), but it can show them as they render and you can modify those objects.

In case of steak, I don’t like raw meat, if I see pinkness in meat it feels raw and disgusting. And when well cooked it’s hard. I like my red meat cooked in a pressure cooker so it’s fully cooked and soft. Same with raw fish or any other food with raw meats.

For other foods, variety of reasons. I don’t like some foods because growing up in a farm I always saw certain bugs in some plants so I have associated that plant’s smell to that bug.

Some foods I don’t like texture, some I don’t like the taste enough that I feel like I’ll vomit. Some foods I don’t like but I can eat.

And some food I just got used to eating a certain way. I absolutely don’t like raw or not well cooked beans or zucchini because it feels wrong. While some food I grew up eating raw so cooked version feels wrong like carrots

Ostracizing used to work because we needed community. Now they will just go on the Internet and find hundreds if not thousands pro approve what they’re doing.

And whatever the “village” did for a person can be bought with money. And people don’t really do free work for you anyway, maybe your immediate family but that’s about it. So people are more and more individualistic.

I’ve never see it, who sets it? I only have two processes that are like it and blth wait for 1:30

I was searching it before I commented too lol

Except jump, they can’t jump even if they want

But not in the degree it should have happened because there’s not much choice for people leaving.

That’s actually what I think of as how the open source works. It’s not that millions of people are working for you to have things all the time. It’s just that instead of making something and letting it be lost in some hard drive they share it. If something has enough interest, use value, and passion from the creator then the work will continue.

Some programs with heavy industry use, or a passionate user base will be successful, but even the niche small programs are there so if someone wants to continue the work they can.

Vs the same little programs from companies that are not open source will be just lost, you can’t get the source and continue even if you want to. Even they will discard the source, or the guy that worked on it will be gone and noone knows anything.

So appreciate open source, even if it doesn’t work for all the cases, it is better because it can continue, the effort isn’t lost. Open source licenses don’t promise future maintenance, they are just available as they are

Yeah, so you could easily say we evolved to, or our brains evolved to… And so on

I honestly think this is one of the reasons AI is so popular with people. We didn’t notice because we have been using ddg, and adblocks. But searching for things in google, and finding any decent sites that’s related and not shoving down ads all over the screen is hard to find.

Then people found something where they just search/ask things and get answers without any of the hassle. If you don’t care about the source, or want to check multiple views then you have what you want. Specially because I think lot of people seem to use google to just find what they already have bias towards.

That’s what I heard and it made sense. You didn’t want the developer or tester to have to progress normally to test things.

But I guess now we have better debug tools, and release builds vs debug builds. Because resource isn’t a problem and we can insert all those extra info on debug build

No one is saying parking lot is a lot of area of the earth. It’s a lot of area of a city.

Cities and areas human live in is very small part of the overall land we have available, because we need a lot more resources than just a house to live in. Even in tribal areas the buildings take barely any land compared to the area they use for agriculture, hunting and things.

The main problem with parking lot is the amount of space it takes within the area we live in, specially for any place people gather in. Making the places people want to gather even more isolated because of it.

Interviews actually cost the company. They have to pay those people interviewing you, and not working for clients at that time. That’s why I don’t see many applications going to interview phase at all. Most applications are just filtered by AI, or some HR and it never goes to the actual hiring manager. And they don’t interview unless they are pretty sure about wanting to hire the candidate. At least the companies without ghost jobs do that.

But HR only interviews are probably different, they might do interviews to justify their job.

So non cult people can’t pass laws to ban a cult

Yeah, I just say I can’t watch this video when someone sends me a link. It does make you less social though. People just think you’re weird, people with “I have nothing to hide” mentality is so common. And people that say “I don’t care about politics”, or “we don’t discuss politics here” in friend groups, and start excluding you because you speak on these things.
