I don't really get it,

Sticking with the snail mail analogy, what happens when two pen pals keep sending mail to each other from their homes without including return addresses in their envelopes? The postal service might not know who exactly is sending each piece of mail but, over time, they would know that Address A in Lower Manhattan, New York, keeps on getting one-way mail from the post office in 3630 East Tremont Avenue, the Bronx, New York; and Address B in the Bronx keeps on getting one-way mail from the post office in 350 Canal Street, Lower Manhattan.

I mean, no, all they know is that they ALL users get one way mail all the time?

The "over time" in "but, over time, they would know that..." does a lot of heavy lifting. Would they? How would they know that?

Sure, if there were only two participants in the system, I would agree. But we have way more than 2 users on signal.

Ok, das klingt beruhigend, aber wohl ist mir bei der Sache trotzdem nicht.

Ich mag SB Kassen nicht, weil sie die Verantwortung verschieben.

Wenn ich bei einer normalen Kasse alles aufs Band lege und die Kassierperson macht einen Fehler, ist das das Problem des Ladens und mir egal.

Wenn ich bei einer SB Kasse einen Fehler mache und was falsch scanne oder vergesse, ist es Diebstahl.

The from this year that I played is silksong but I didn't like it that much.

It doesn't match my skill level, all the resources were too scarce, there aren't enough tools to customize playstyle (either you find them, or you don't) so there aren't really any choices and I didn't like the story.

Trotzdem weiter mit Export, plus, man kann auch im Binnenmarkt Mehrwert erschaffen den man dann extern ausgeben kann.

Wenn man die Binnenwirtschaft überhaupt ankurbeln kann, geht das geht theoretisch schon, das ist ja der Witz. Ich nehme mal -> als "wenig" und => als "viel", im Moment machen wir eher das:

Import ==> [ Binnenproduktion --> Binnenkonsumption ] ==> Export

Aber wenn wir das hier hinkriegen

Import ==> [ Binnenproduktion ==> Binnenkonsumption ] --> Export

geht das auch.

Das Problem wird sein, das man für einen stark Binnenmarkt, stark Kaufkraft braucht, was bedeutet der Lohn bzw. die Lohnkosten müssen steigen damit die Leute das Geld haben um überhaupt was auszugeben UND sie müssen sich dann auch für die im Binnenmarkt produzierten Produkte entscheiden.

Also, Lohn erhöhen und dann mehr "made in china" kram kaufen führt dazu das es nicht funktioniert, genauso wie wenn die Arbeitgeber sagen "geht grad keine Lohnerhöhung".

It's not that lofty, it's pretty much like the merrowingian put it in the second matrix movie: "cursing in french is like wiping your ass with silk" It's not limited to cursing, some languages have unique expressions for some things that are more fitting. You have to lean into it and embrace it though, it's like clothing or food, you have to want it and you have to enjoy it. There is no point in cooking yourself a fancy meal if you hate doing it and don't particularly value good food. The same is true for practicing language.

I enjoy learning languages in a low pressure way. I didn't enjoy it particularly in school.

Personally, I'm a big fan of "there are unknowns in the universe", so imo they found lens, which could be a gravitational lens ;)

Cool nontheless.

Supreme commander from 2007 has the best strategic unit control from any RTS I've ever played. Even newer entries in the same-ish genre don't do it that well.

What physicists and astronomers do, is they look at how things work here on earth and where we can observe things.

For example, we can observe that the earth orbits the sun, we know that orbit takes a year, and it's pretty stable. And from that and the speed and orbit of other planets, we can calculate the mass of each. And with the same math, we can do it for our galaxy.

But when we look way, way deeper into the universe, we can only see: electromagnetic things, that is light and radio. And by observing that or how it behaves, in the case of black holes, we can say where things are, what they're like and how they move. Including how big they are, how massive, we can calculate how much mass is required to keep a galaxy together.

The problem is the movement we can see, doesn't match the calculated weight and gravity of the things we can see.

The solution is that we assume that things do behave as we think they do, we just can't see it. The weight that we can directly or indirectly observe accounts for about 5% of the effect we can see. So we make up the rest. That's "dark matter". Not because it's different from what we know, but because we can't observe or "see" it.

Or we're wrong about the rules that we use to calculate stuff or things are happening we don't understand yet.

Worse, Snowden did leak an absurd amount of gov details and documents and info and it did nothing to stop what's happening. People barely acknowledged it.

Maybe someone would martyr themselves. But doing it for nothing? Not appealing.

Mastodon dot SOCIAL did, the big public instance. Mastodon the software doesn't have these restrictions.
