It’s almost like there is an entire branch of philosophy dedicated to this problem and boiling it down to numbers only is just stupid and simplistic.

What impact do games have? Computers use very little energy, and come on, books?! Your plan is just plain stupid.

You can live an ultra minimal footprint life while not suffering - sure, maybe if you live in a huge house alone, move to an apartment and use public transport if feasible, etc. But there is no point in being depressed and basically torturing yourself.

I also thought of that series!

What might be a solution to this problem is to establish a trusted system/program (already hard) that would very comfortably allow you to make these decisions: e.g. you would like to decrease the profits of any company exploiting poor people in Africa (fuck nestle), so you mark that option, and during shopping, scanning a product would instantly flag any which is related to the issue.

There actually is something similar (buycott?), but it is not really used where I live. It probably would have to be very comfortable to use, like actually calculating your budget/spendings, otherwise people wouldn’t use it.

How is it privacy friendly? Not trying to troll of anything, but people literally share all their likes/dislikes plainly with everyone, and deletes don’t have to actually be executed on other servers.

You are free to fork it at anytime. I really can’t hate them for having a cohesive vision they plan on developing.

It is always dismissed as too verbose, while in go’s case it is never mentioned, when in fact the latter is way more verbose.. People’s bias show.

Rename it to something else, see if it still works, if not revert, else it is needed.

Though to add: many things in your file system are listed as “files” in a directory, but are completely virtual with varying ways on what they do when written to/read from. (Also, linux has streams and files, not only files) E.g. /dev/null will read zeros, and discard data written to. But it has no physical backing.

They are the stereotypical paper clip AI that will drain our blood to extract its iron content for more paperclips. Except it wants money.

Scala is quite well designed.

No, an alias will only give you pseudo-anonymity. Even trivial analysis like counting which words occur together frequently in your writings can reveal with very good accuracy any other alt of you, so the available information of you is basically everything you have shared online with enough accompanying self-written text.

It’s about GraalVM’s enterprise edition. The free version was.. free since forever.
