Remember kids, piracy is not only moral, but a moral obligation in this capitalist hellscape! (and not theft by definition, and should not be illegal) Torrents are one of the few effective weapons against corporations

Please try to avoid using the term 'sideloading'. This refers to ADB sideloading and the thing Google is trying to attack is the freedom to install apps.

This diagram is way way way too conservative with the "see you on the other side" classification. To name a few: fluorine will literally make you catch fire instantly (if there's more of it, you will basically get burned to a crisp before you can even blink), caesium will violently react with water in your mouth and produce so much hydrogen and heat, the whole mixture will instantly explode (in fact, this will not only be a usual, fire-like explosion, it will in addition to that be a so-called Coulomb explosion, which makes the situation even worse)

Because it pumps heat from inside to the back, so if the back is blocked it will struggle to pump heat into that tiny overheated space

Thankfully, AI is bad at maths for exactly this reason. You don't have to be an expert on a very specific topic to be able to verify a proof and - spoiler alert - most of the proofs ChatGPT 5 has given me are plain incorrect, despite OpenSlop's claims that it is vastly superior to previous models.

I think if it was democratic, I would trust it even less. Relying on democracy in a community when specialist knowledge is required to understand a topic is a major factor that contributed to the creation of such abominations as anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers etc.

This is so fucking stupid, you cannot stop VPNs, because things like ShadowSocks exist. When will they learn that the only way to stop VPNs is to disable the internet completely. As long as the internet exists, VPNs will too. Ask your friend Xi Jinping about that.

You should also consider the fact that Linux users are hugely overrepresented in such communities, because there is a large overlap between people who, as a hobby, want to make stuff in the physical world and people who want to make stuff in the digital world.

It is so prevalent that this type of bigotry actually has its own name: specieism

Self-sacrifice / approval-seeking schema gang

Actual science: these are arbitrary categories of materials based on their band gaps, so these names don't really mean anything precise

This is absolutely true and sad, though I get a lot of free electronics to dismantle by rummaging through trash. People have no appreciation of the value of "used" items that either work perfectly fine or have a minor issue that prevents them from working but is easily fixable, e.g. a broken cable (I have many working devices that were thrown away because the cable is severed, which I could easily fix). I think only proper education in this regard will improve things long term.

USB killer would be a fun thing to bring to the US and have it searched despite your claims that it is not a flash drive

Except the first assumption that e^x = its own integral, everything else actually makes sense (except the DX are in the wrong powers). You simply treat the "1" and "integral dx" as operators, formally functions from R^R into R^R and "(0)" as calculating the value of the operator on a constant-valued function 0. EDIT: the step 1/(1-integral) = the limit of a certain series is slightly dubious, but I believe it can be formally proven as well. EDIT 2: I was proven wrong, read the comments

I think it can - procedural generation consist of procedures, that is elements designed by humans, which are just connected into a bigger structure. Every single template, rule and atomic object (e.g. a single room in a generated house) is hand-designed, and as such no matter what comes out the elements and connections were considered by a real human. On the other hand, generative AI is almost always some sort of machine learning, that is an approximation of what a good structure of something should be, but it is only a very poor, randomised approximation. You have absolutely no guarantees nor constraints on what might pop out of the model - that is my main concern with genAI, though the whole outputted thing looks reasonable, upon closer inspection it has a lot of inconsistenties.

That is actually pretty interesting! Are you sure it is the LEDs that you can hear? I would probably lean towards the mains 50Hz buzz being heard by you due to internal transformers

It is easy to quickly Photoshop an ID, I did that for discord and it worked immediately (despite my lack of skills in using ps)
