Hamas terrorist attacks sucked. Bombing whole city blocks in retaliation sucks. Indeed.

Personally I'm astonished how many seems to find it easy picking a side. The more I learn the less I feel sure about anything except that the whole situation sucks.

Picking a side sucks. Not picking a side sucks. I'm glad I don't have political influence for this one.

You guys have colours?

Heh, this was quite clever.

They're all quite good.

As i understand it Linus has at least acknowledged that his tone has been very problematic and has been working on the way he expresses himself.

I read it as making fun of hustle culture.

Yeah encrypt it or at least put on a nsfw tag or something. Gosh. People flaunt their privates like it's Onlyfans.

A hobby of mine is to get annoyed at hand dryers. 80% of the models I find are eyerollingly useless. Blow a faint breeze for five seconds, stop and refuse to trigger again no matter how much you try to slap the air in front of it.

Then there are those 5% that actually gets it. Blowing a jet stream that makes the water droplets sublimate so fast you forget you even washed.

Not only are monkeys as intelligent as small kids. All monkey species are at least a thousand times as rare as humans.

These experiments sound like they've been done by people who don't know what they're doing?

That is hardly an unpopular opinion.

An even less popular opinion: if you care enough about climate change to not have children you should have children. The alternative is that only people who don't care about climate change will have children.

Anyways, the fertility rate has dropped very quickly all over the developed world and the world is turning developed quickly. I'm not saying that will solve climate change but it looks like overpopulation is at least going to be solved.

The problem with these rage inducing subreddits is that they seldom seem to propose or encourage any solution or alternative. So it ends up becoming a kind of circle jerk of learned helplessness.

It seems like a common internet thing. Rage bait and learned helplessness. We learn to accept that there's nothing to do because people and politicians are idiots because "look at all this stuff".

And often this aligns with advertising tech because it makes us engaged and seeking comfort of continued scrolling when we get a steady stream of anxiety injections. It's low key like an abusive relationship.

I mean that is a good reason to celebrate.

I like how your suggestions successively became more radical.

But, Julian calendar? Still a rookie I see.

The calendar year has 13 months with 28 days each, divided into exactly 4 weeks (13 × 28 = 364). An extra day added as a holiday at the end of the year (after December 28, i.e. equal December 31 Gregorian), sometimes called "Year Day", does not belong to any week and brings the total to 365 days.

I suspect about 1% of the world cares enough to even have this discussion though.

I mean Netgear isn't even that bad of an answer. Like we're in the right chapter of the dictionary. Yes my dictionary is by category not alphabetical. Bet you don't even own a physical dictionary. Come to think of it, me neither. Huh.

Let's be real, usb-a is ancient now.

Now I want a team based FPS game where classes are the economic classes.

And you can decide to revolt and switch around the teams to make it proletariat versus bourgeoisie. (The French sure have weird spelling btw)

What ever team that can hold the most strategic points/means of production long enough wins.

I mean it's more like social media in general is dying. Alex here is the future.

Edit: I knew a guy that was a little bit like this. I.e. young and nerdy enough that I'd expect him to have his eyeballs on the news feed, but no. I used to have to explain references to a bunch of stuff that was "going on" because he didn't care about being "up to date".

Whenever I explained one of those things it rarely felt like knowing that stuff was worth it. It's mostly noise.

Governments listen to people that succeed at acting in unison. Individuals can be dealt with swiftly but populations can overturn any government.

Coordinating populations is the hard part if you want revolution. Manipulating populations and their ability to coordinate is your bread and butter if you want to oppress.

I'm sure stranger things have happened in irl lore. Pirate Party (pp) comes to mind.

That seems so weird when you think about the pricing for openai API. It feels at least an order of magnitude cheaper than using chatgpt plus subscription, which in turn is $20/month. If Copilot is losing money, openai must be burning money by truckloads.
