I still disagree. Majority of topical subreddits and people are nowhere near as obnoxious. Although, granted, Reddit is a bad place to set bars on quality of discussion.

Agree, but there’s a big chunk of atheist that like jerking each other off, vocally telling themselves how superior and smart they are. That’s the point being made

Fun fact: 1782¹² + 1841¹² = 1922¹² is an incorrect equation, per Fermat’s last theorem.

They put that equation there because some of the writers of the episode have a mathematical background, and they knew it was wrong, but the error is so relatively small that if someone writes that in a normal calculator they’ll get the equality. So basically an easter egg for someone that knows about Fermat’s last theorem.

Spotify has patents on underestimating your emotional state based on the music you listen to. One can guess they sell such data. A hard pass for me.

Self-hosting Jellifyn/Navidrome has been really fun (but I’m aware it is not something everybody wants/can do).

This was so much me with the concept of generalized Cartesian product. All the class was very confused with that topic, until a bright classmate pointed-out a relationship of that concept with Python list and it started to do so much sense.

Same here, and I’ve enjoyed it more than my Debian experience.

I’m curious: Is it a bad idea to have iptables with a default DENY rule? I use a deafult DENY in ufw, and it uses iptables under the hood.

I think GP is suggesting that, for a better picture, you also need to include stuff like the CO2 emissions from the vitamins you’ll need to eat to balance the nutritional deficit. Given how bad meat is for the environment, it wouldn’t surprise me that the total balance is still way worse for meat.

Somehow I feel the need to clarify I’m not shilling for beef, but extra vitamins is something that my vegetarian SO constantly has to be keep in mind.

Apocalypse Now. Damn, what a movie.

Great movie. If you haven’t, you should check out Arrival (2016).

Google already gains so much money from their data-mining, privacy-violating spree on almost every person on the Earth. For me, they can burn to the ground, and I’ll very happily take their service free of charge.

For me, it’s not just getting something for free, it is rather a who am I giving this money away?. I’ll happily give Lichess, a Lemmy stance, community projects, FOSS projects, etc. my support, financial or not, but Google, a company I completely view as unmoral, can happily go fuck itself.

View it this way: The Coca-Cola Company killed a bunch of workers in my country (Coca-Cola killings) because they were demanding better working conditions, so I’ll do as much as possible to prevent giving them money, and making them lose money would be quite nice.

Slay the Spire. It’s been an on-and-off game for me, and I’m currently in my yearly hooked-up phase with the game. Beyond amazing game and community.

who dismissed it as US propaganda.

Do you have a source on that?

For my part, I’ll never forgive them for Megaman X 6 and beyond. The story was clearly written to end with Megaman X 5, then transition into the Zero series of games, but Capcom was too greedy to leave it alone.

Oh man, I got so many Vietnam flashbacks with Gears of War 4 and beyond. Microsoft really massacred my favorite video game saga :c

Even more, I think it’s basically the only way. Lichess app got removed from vanilla F-Droid because of that.

You can see Michael’s webpage here: https://michel.talagrand.net/.

Interestingly, there’s some open problems posted, and he has some prizes for solving them, ranging from $1000 to $5000 USD per problem.

From Linux, I’ve screen-shared my desktop in the web application for some years without troubles. Not even need to install the app.

Your comment seems so out of touch with the reality of majority of people. I think you are taking an extremist and unreasonable stance.

Completely agree with you on the first part. My point is that:

• Long term storage in a non-trivial thing to do, from a technical, social and ecological POV. However, it can be build, as shown in the linked documentary.
• Not going nuclear has disadvantages (that IMO out number the advantages).
• Going nuclear also has disadvantages. Thus, the view of experts on the field has a big importance of the topic. In this matter, the consensus I most commonly find in the physicists community is that nuclear is a energy source that should replace carbon/coal, but needs to be complemented with solar/wind/water/thermal, not just disregarded.

I would like to add that I did not try to call you dumb, I’m sorry if that’s the way it ended up sounding like. The dumb part was directed to the people in charge of the decisions, not you.

This is an interesting documentary about the topic: Into eternity. The documentary has a depressing and ephemeral feeling, but I find it extremely amusing that we are taking steps to protect people that will live thousands of years from now.

Taking decisions like “nuclear or not nuclear”, “how to dispose the waste”, etc. is hard, but doing so ignoring the people that invest their whole life studying the topics is just dumb.
