I gotta say that this collection of stories plus all the others is starting to feel less like power mods with vendettas and more like a large scale astroturfing campaign intended to weed out people capable of using logic and/or bridging the gap in the various manufactured (or falsely amplified) conflicts dividing people for no good reason.

It’s especially weird how many feature “argued about it for 3 messages then admin banned for harassment”, especially since reddit’s mod problem isn’t exactly a secret and they’d be even more aware of it with the full visibility they have and you’d figure they’d want to address it if they were operating on good faith.

Yeah, it’s like the difference between sitting in a stopped car with all the doors open vs sitting in a moving car with the front driver and rear passenger windows open. The first one might feel cooler on a windy day, if the wind is blowing in the right direction, but the other will have consistent airflow from the outside through the car and back outside.

I wish their leader had realized that what he did wasn’t something you could just back down from and that his life was on the line either way.

10 was the last one with a technical improvement (its kernel had a scheduler that was better at scheduling on modern processors where some cores share caches while others don’t). Though the anti-features meant it was a tradeoff vs 7 (and just ignore 8 entirely).

It was kinda funny because before I switched to linux and made the question moot, I kept searching for some technical reason, anything, to actually want to switch from 10 to 11. All I’d get were things that other desktops have been able to do for decades (virtual desktops, which I first saw in Litestep (I think?) back around 2003), or anti-features like recall and copilot integration.

Oh, that might have been plain old incompetence rather than deliberate evidence tampering if both sides agreed to the bits that incriminate their own side. Unless there was something more going on that the logs would have shown, like “damage detected while self-driving enabled, dispatching Tesla cleanup crew to take care of the witnesses”.

I imagine it more as a condescending IT guy who isn’t actually very good at his job and has secretly set up each machine to spy on the users (but again isn’t very good at what he does so it isn’t much of a secret).

Curious: what was the outcome of them being caught doing that?

Yeah, I like the version where he has a crush on Death and wants to impress her by killing half the people in the universe.

But I think they wanted to set up an infinity war where he deserved to win, which IMO he absolutely did. I was disliking it the first time I watched because I expected it to do the typical hero movie thing where the heroes pull off a win even after fumbling things as hard as they did in infinity war, but then he did the snap. Advantage of not paying attention to their plans, as I wasn’t aware that there was going to be a second part until I saw how that ended, so it was a surprise.

But all he really did was turn back the doom clock by one doubling period. You can’t stop exponential growth with a single cull, unless that cull is pretty much 100% (or leaves the remnants so scattered they age out of reproduction age before uniting).

It’s capped in practical terms by the highest score a test can be given. Unless getting a perfect just means you have another harder round.

No, your sensation follows the old wheel as it’s shipped off to a recycling plant, where the rubber is stipped off, shredded, and turned into asphalt that gets used briefly in a road patch that is almost immediately replaced because the patch was bumpier than the road it was patching.

The metal of the wheel is melted down, then ends up in a youtube video where someone turns cursed metal (from the wagon wheel and also parts from the Pontiac Aztech driven by Walter White) into a bunch of sweet looking damascus knives, which feels like tooth with the enamel stripped off any time it touches something hot or cold for our poor wagon (who doesn’t like to talk about what the video itself felt like, and swears he feels something every time someone watches it).

Fucking autocorrect keeps turning itself back on after I disable it in my settings. It fucks up more than it helps and I can type fine, including correcting typos and if I miss one the I miss one.

Seems like a pretty risky lie as the car should have logs saying exactly what happened (at least to the level of detail of cruise control + accelerator vs self-driving).

Alcohol, too. While I do believe many/most did the whole “social life is at the bar” out of high school, I think millennials were the generation that started breaking the cycle more and started doing more things while drunk (like board game bars, video game bars, escape rooms, etc), and then transitioned to not getting as drunk so they could do the things better and not be as much of a burden on those around them who weren’t just trying to get wasted for the night.

Also more options that weren’t as destructive as alcohol for those that still wanted to get fucked up. And less judgement about those options.

My version of questioning this is if the same source is providing both the file and the hash, does it matter how hard it is to fake the hash? It could just generate a new hash for the fake file, couldn’t it?

Have you tried amphetamines?

They do have such a system. If you click your username on the top of your desktop client (I’m on the Linux client but believe the windows one also works like this), there should be an item “View my wallet”, this will take you to a page where you can add money to it.

Or if it only shows up for me because I have a balance (sold some steam cards), go to Steam -> Settings and there should be an “Add funds” button right below your profile pic in the Account tab.

They only seem to support specific values (mine does 5, 10, 25, 50, 100). Oh and there’s a link to redeem gift card codes; you might already use this page to get there if you use gift cards.

One thing that can help with leaks is to not save your CC info with the account. Then it just gets used for the transaction and isn’t saved outside of the payment system, so less of a vector for it to make it on a leak database. Also helps control spending by adding more inertia between this side and the far side of a purchase.

There have been documented healthy wolf attacks in North America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wolf_attacks_in_North_America

Some on the list are rabid, but the list also includes both captive and predative wolf attacks, including fatalities.

This is kinda why I don’t play much online with friends anymore. My ADHD is at the point where I can get bored with games pretty easily. There have been times where I’ve wanted to play something but then by the time it’s running in the menu or my save has loaded, I realize that I actually have zero interest in it right now.

Or I might want to take a 5 minute break that turns into 1.5 hours because I got distracted and into that distraction.

A game with someone else is just too much of a commitment.

That’s for functional. If you want to test optimized, can you run Crysis?
