They are “fucking with” NATO, historically, but not attack. Lots of “im not touching you im not touching you” on the borders and north sea. Military submarines where they are not supposed to be. Sudden declarations of artillery practice in international waters causing ship travel to reroute, then not actually doing practice…
Ah, they found it. Was wondering who went in to downvote all the discussion.
Anyhoo “haters gonna hate” is supposed to mean that you are succeeding despite the criticism.
It doesn’t really have the same bite while still begging.
You make it, and now it’s a somewhat safe place for people to form discussions that validate pedophilia. Several discussions now are adjacent to that topic, via adoption discussion, sneakernet dissemination, countries with lax laws, discussions around age of consent, definitions of nudity, what is considered public spaces for photography…
At some point it is no longer pure philosophical discussions in neutral faith, but a breeding ground for pure shit. How do you determine if that point is reached? How do you decide where the line goes? How do you adjust the rules to adjust for this?
The above is not hypothetical. It specifically has ruined a few online spaces. Other topics like the Trump cult has a different pattern.
Each type of topic needs a different style, tolerance and shape of moderation for this, so it’s more effective to look for this per topic instead of a general solution.
E.g. transgender discussion has different problems than russian aggression discussion, different problem actors using different strategies, and are solved by very different types of moderation.
Discussing which language should take precedence in schools, in countries with multiple official languages, needs a wildly different set of rules, moderation, tolerances and even moderator knowledge.
Their admin tried to advertise it to !gaming yesterday, by linking to his community for downloading malware posing as pirated AAA games.
I kept an unreasonably open mind and went to look though the site, and it seemed hopeless as a concept. Especially their statement that they could not reconcile moderation with free speech, shows that they aren’t mentally equipped to run a site.
“Q: Will this site be overrun with racists?”, “A: If people offend you, block them. If a community is dominated by people you don’t get along with, leave it.”
Yeah buddy that’s exactly the decision we make for your entire site.
It provably isn’t, so I’d have to lean on dishonest proof. My contenders are:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettle_logic Tim Bernes Lee said the internet was’t actually feasible. They just theorized the concept. Also, the initial darpanet servers that supposedly turned into the internet were shut down in 1965. Network cables would actually melt if they transferred data on internet scale.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_composition Need proof? The internet’s most prominent facet is MMOs: Simulated worlds.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_projection_fallacy It’s just pixels moving on my screen, people. It’s not real in any real sense. The computer is making all the words show up on my screen by following its internal machinery.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_assertion It is a simulation. The internet is clearly a simulation. Everyone says it’s a simulation. The intetnet is a simulation.
Nuclear is less expensive and more scalable than solar, wind, hydro.
It does not boil the planet like fossil fuels.
Yes it takes time and money to set up, but that’s a short term cost.
This is assumed to be widely known, so critical questions that don’t take that into account are assumed to be either in bad faith or laziness.
“Thorny problem of waste disposal” is such a shitty phrase. The alternatives of coal and oil have more damaging waste disposed straight out into the atmosphere. We just don’t demand shit from those industries, while nuclear needs to be beyond perfect to be an alternative.
Well, those are toy amounts and not investment amounts, so this is more of a question of whether you want to keep some BTC for fun, or selling it off and focus on other hobbies.
Unless you want to play around trading the BTC on exchanges in the near future, I’d say just sell off.
It can’t exist meaningfully in a world of patents, trade secrets, vendor lock-ins and closed source.
I’m not installing something that I can’t inspect, modify or service anywhere I please.
Remember that we are not players in Web3 games. We are mobs to be farmed.
“Web3 Gaming” is gaming played by speculators and investors.
The products they create are disposable tools used to manipulate and farm regular gamers for cash.
Sounds like your computer has a bit lower RAM than it needs, in which case it “swaps”.
This means taking some memory that’s not been used for a while and writing it to disk, and using the now free RAM for what you are currently doing.
When starting a game, it likely swaps out browser memory to make room for the game. It loads all it needs into RAM to make the game run smooth.
When tabbing out of the game, it swaps game memory to disk and swaps in browser memory.
When going back to the game, it will swap game memory back in in bits and pieces. Turn around, the game needs to draw that door texture. That needs to be swapped back into RAM from disk. Slight stutter, then normal. Walk a bit further, it needs to play footstep sounds. Those needs to be fetched back in from disk. And so on.
Writing/reading from a HDD makes noise and vibration, since it’s internally a core of spinning disks with several small motors moving back and forth.
An SSD has no moving parts and will not make noise. Stutters will be shorter, but still happen.
Adding more RAM will reduce or remove the need to swap to disk in the first place, and is the most useful upgrade to alleviate the issue.
Idea for DND character: Priest from Earth
You know in your heart there is a god and you must spread the holy teachings to the common folk, but you have no divine powers to lean on.
Your god is all “I help those who help themselves”. Or, you assume that is the case because your god doesn’t tell you anything directly, intervene in your business, or react to anything you ask of it.
So, no divine or magic powers. Just go hard on strength and charisma.
The donation pays salary for devs and (barely) not site maintenance, but the devs are also basically lemmy.ml, so the distinction may not feel useful.
Lotta no’s based on people who can’t stand being in a room with other people just because of different political beliefs.
Start by tolerating that disagreement then?
I can stand being in the same room as people with shit opinions, even to a degree people who promote war crimes like these guys, but fuck if I am up for giving them a salary.
If you have to misrepresent people who disagree with you to make a point, it is not a good point sorry.
These money will go to two people who created and actively maintain and promote an instance pretending the brutal murder of Ukranians is not happening but also necessary, and deleting and banning contrary opinions.
No.
You were asked to be a total asshole and you complied.
What sort of game genre do you have experience making? Finding something within what you are able to do is important.
They are talking like they want to / believe they have an Elective Monarchy:
These days I see it used in a derogatory way to describe countries and their culture more than the genetics of the people living in them.
E.g. even though I am genetically identical to white Texans, I’d happily call Texas uncivilized because it lets assholes with guns override government.
