I don’t think i care what Jack Dorsey says that isn’t backed up independently. Even if he’s right i just don’t trust him.

The American auto industry could also produce EVs, if it so chose. Nobody has to lose their jobs.

I believe they’re throwing a fit about it right now but we’ll see. They don’t have a lot of room to complain about literal tons of free guns getting shipped to them.

People out there like “Okay but if you think about it isn’t taking the red pill humorless and braindead”

XFS. It fills the same role as ext4 but it’s less likely to lose your data and that’s probably the most important part of a file system. Not that ext4 is bad or anything, but XFS is good. The only downside to XFS is you can’t shrink the filesystem size.

All the judges own Apple stock for some reason, so…

Love to see the Supreme Court just blatantly ignoring the Constitution.

My work moved to that model, to get promoted you have to first work at that level for free.

Then, of course, they don’t promote you because you’re already doing the work for them. Why should they?

I’m sure Apple was dragged, kicking their feet and screaming all the way, into banning all the competing services too…

I’m being a little silly. Blockchain stuff wouldn’t work great for hosting git on for a number of reasons. You might be onto something with that idea about integrating it with gir and torrents, though. I was thinking of using it as an external way to verify the repo is the real thing and hasn’t been tampered with but your idea may be a better version of that.

On the grounds that the dmca is a blank check to let big corporations do whatever the fuck they want. It doesn’t have to be legal, but if you don’t take whatever they want down then that’s illegal and could get you (GitHub, in this case) in serious trouble.

Finally a use for block chain tech.

There’s a high likelihood it was Russian or Chinese work tbh. That’s a pretty reasonable take.

So, the psychology research disagrees. While there IS a cultural/social component, there does seem to be a difference in people’s disposition.

The big evidence there can be change is the Milgram experiment, where people who had first hand experience with the Holocaust immediately saw what was going on and refused to take part. That was an aberration, though. People aren’t being forced to confront things on that scale in that way anymore, and even then it didn’t work on everyone.

Unfortunately, this is one case where the answer really is “human nature”, though that nature may be influenced by experience.

Psychological research into authoritarian personalities shows some people really do have psychological needs (or at least desires) that are met by stupid ass authoritarian power structures. It’s not even, as you may be tempted to suggest, something like desiring power or wanting their team to win over the “enemy”.

If no enemy exists they will create one, they need it. If no hierarchical power structure exists they will create one, and not only so they can be at the top. There are authoritarian followers, too, who will create power structures so they can be at the bottom. (Or at least not at the top, they tend to need people who are below them as much as they need people who are above them.)

But authoritarian personalities tend to want this kind of thing to happen for its own sake and not because of any particular outcome. The authoritarianism is the goal itself. Psychological studies have shown these people will support (or at least not strongly oppose) oppression of while groups of people even when they are a part of the group in question. That is: they’d rather this stuff happen than not, even if it’s happening to them personally.

A good write-up on this aimed at non psychologists is The Authoritarians by Bob Altemeyer: https://theauthoritarians.org/

Written for the Bush era, sadly still relevant today.

I have to admit, before Covid i didn’t think people would be joining the war on disease on the side of disease in any meaningful numbers and yet here we are. I think we may be in decline as a civilization, not sure how that kind of brain rot is survivable.

I think what happened is he was kinda burned out on SMM at that point and so when no one cared it just saved him the trouble.

To be clear, only levels the author has beaten should have been uploaded to Mario Maker. That’s the rule that was in place. The level was uploaded but the author never beat it, breaking the rule. That’s why it was rejected for project 0%.

Cops love wandering out into the city and gunning down innocent people. Stuff like shot spotter just gives them more excuses.

You, uh, forgot to change accounts there, buddy.
