It used to be my reason too, but after breaking my system by my own hand many times, I realized the aur isn’t worth the effort, for me at least.

I’d rather build from source, for software that isn’t maintained in the repos.

Thats assuming that there won’t be an end to all creative output on this planet in the next million years.

Anything past 1000 years from now is beyond understanding, IMO.

I like where you’re going with this!

yeah, well-intentioned things tend to go sour when exposed to the glow of anonymity on the internet. Starts off innocent, and goes downhill fast.

The creator, Sean, stating that he started this app as a reaction to the online dating scene his mother experienced, seems fine: an anti-catfishing app would be great.

To give the devil their due, the data they collect might also be valuable as data on how women discuss men online, which at a cursory glance seems to favor far more hyperbole than I see in everyday life.

When I say things like, “Use linux, the attack surface is much smaller”, people say, “well, that won’t last forever”, to which I say, “if a trillion dollar company can drop the ball like this, I’m taking the route less travelled because society doesn’t change quickly, Microsoft isn’t going anywhere in my forseeable future”

pretty cool, mangohud is great, but having parity with features already available on windows is always a plus!

Only thing I used matching your needs was an RSS feed coming from a private tracker I’m on. I’m sure there are rss feeds for public trackers too. I self-hosted an rss reader and aggregator, and I could specify which torrent categories I would get notified about.

everything you say is true.

But thinking that cities will redesign their streets without public pressure? I doubt it.

comparison is the thief of joy

Just a hunch, since technological advancements seem to hit the public realm much faster in places like China, in the cities especially. I don’t know what the laws are like there, but I’ve heard rumors that there is less government regulations for technologies that can benefit the general public, like drones and automated metros. Oh yeah, and how could I forget about the robots they show off at conventions, to take the place of receptionists and other customer-facing positions.

Minecraft is the most popular best selling game of all time, and the single-player mode is still being updated. Granted, many people play on multiplayer servers, but still.

At the very least, you can still pirate it and play cracked multiplayer with friends.

I made the mistake of buying the game year ago, and bought a bunch of DLC at 50% or greater sales, and now the sunken cost fallacy has taken hold on me, and I still want to buy more . . . . (at least I’m broke so I can’t right now hehehaha)

it’ll definitely get the greenlight in countries like China before anywhere in the west, I believe

Oh no worries, I am writing a Cisco networking exam in about a month, so I’ve actually studied subnets and addressing a good amount, but I don’t mind the refresher!

I was just speaking more generally, in terms of programming, where integers and strings are different data types, yet you can store numbers as a string, which I always found interesting.

interesting . . In my head, I think of ip addresses like just decimal values or integers separated by periods, but clearly a decimal value isn’t processed as such by a computer. To think that IP addresses are simply strings is pretty interesting to my amateur mind, because for all my life I thought of them as technical computer jargon that isn’t the same as what I used to think strings were: words!

Okay, I’m learning networking but have no idea what this means

“Detachment 201: the Executive Innovation Corps”

Lol, as if AI technology in the military hasn’t been in the public zietgiest for at least the past 40 years

Funny, I’m trying to think of the amount of times my 8 year old daughter asked me to switch to windows because Linux has too many issues, and I’ve got nothing.

The real copium is thinking Linux is poverty, just to feel good about windows.

Quality copypasta!
