A third of games? What are you smoking?

Over 95% of games in my experience work on Linux, and perform better than windows.

What kind of people are still using Windows, anyway? That supports one of the most terrible companies on the planet, invades your privacy, worms into your brain, and takes over your hardware...all for your 1 or 2 games you want to play?

This Steam Machine is going to be a blowout success. Linux gaming is superior in nearly every way. It's cheaper, it's more ethical, and it gives you back control.

Create local groups.

Organize there.

Migrate any sensitive discussion to Signal. If possible, migrate all messaging to encrypted traffic. By using encrypted traffic you safeguard encrypted tactical exchange via obfuscation. A drop in an ocean is less identifiable than a drop in a pond.

Always turn on disappearing messages. Have a backup mechanism for when they take down Signal, as it is inevitable.

You've been invaded. Act accordingly.

This paper is shit.

https://jhap.du.ac.ir/article_488_8e072972f66d1fb748b47244c4813c86.pdf

They proved absolutely nothing.

For instance, they treat physics as a formal axiomatic system, which is fine for a human model of the physical world, but not for the physical world itself.

You can't say something is "unprovable" and make a logical leap to saying it is "physically undecidable." Gödel-incompleteness produces unprovable sentences inside a formal system, it doesn’t imply that physical observables correspond to those sentences.

I could go on but the paper is 12 short pages of non-sequiturs and logical leaps, with references to invoke formality, it's a joke that an article like this is being passed around and taken as reality.

They can't do that because of accessibility reasons. If they did that, a disabled person has grounds to sue them for proper aria hints & controls.

It doesn't matter what kind of content it is, either. It must be made accessible.

Only kind of true.

If they did implement all those measures, all you do is launch a puppet browser rendered off screen and scrape the content you want. This could work for any site and it is impossible for anyone to detect.

For ads, as a nuclear option, you can detect when they occur and black the stream out.

I would personally do this if left with no other option.

That's correct. We can't put the genie back in the bottle. We have to increase our mastery of it instead.

The core relationship is rather simple and needs to be redefined. Remote compute does not assign numbers to any of us, we provide them with identities we create.

All data allowances are revokable. Systems need to be engineered to make the flow of data transparent and easy to manage.

No one can censor us to other people without the consent of the viewer. This means moderation needs to be redefined. We subscribe to moderation, and it is curated towards what we individually want to see. No one makes the choice for us on what we can and cannot see.

This among much more in the same thread of thinking is needed. Power back to the people, entrenched by mastery.

When you think like this more and more the pattern becomes clearer, and you know what technology to look for. The nice thing is, all of this is possible right now at our current tech level. That can bring a lot of hope.

Buddhism has a more Christian example of Christ-like behavior concerning a "living being Satan". That is to say, if "living being Jesus" was real, he would be a Bodhisattva, perhaps akin to Kṣitigarbha.

In the story, Bodhisattva Kṣitigarbha vowed:

“Until the hells are empty, I will not become a Buddha.

Only when all sentient beings are saved will I attain enlightenment.”

It is a vow to never abandon any being regardless of their state.

I like that idea. Boundless love and compassion doesn't stop at the bounds of some hell. It is boundless. It has boundless time, so it will spend an eternity reaching out to even cyclic hells.

Let's clarify some things:

• This is criminal, not civil. The board of directors and executive leadership should be held criminally liable.
• polluting waters directly leads to suffering and death on a mass scale. It would not an exaggeration to compare it to a weapon of mass destruction.
• the board of directors and executive leadership are, therefore, mass murderers and should be prosecuted as such.
• the business should be dissolved and sold off. Major shareholders should be on the hook to repair all the damage done by the company.

Until we all start internalizing this way of thinking, nothing will ever change. Fines will not fix anything. The corporate shield is a lie. When your company kills people at this scale, your liability shielding is irrelevant.

It is simple.

It produces significantly less data. It doesn't have all the apps you are being tracked by reporting on your every move.

It doesn't have faceid, and probably has a lot of exploits (less security), but the data it holds isn't worth securing and it doesn't provide a non-stop datamine (more privacy).

Basically, instead of having a large safe filled with gold, you have a duffel-bag with your old gym clothes. You don't need security for old gym clothes.

Okay?

So let me get this straight. A society of billions should grovel at the feet of these specific human meatbags, filled with the same blood, brains, hearts, and other mammalian organic matter as the rest of us...because they are immature little shits?

Is this correct?

They aren't and can't force anyone to do anything. That is a choice everyone is making. They are tiny, minuscule little insects who would vanish with a thought if humanity chose so.

I can't wait for our planet to wake up.

This is not correct.

As an example, have you had the smallpox vaccine? It is effective for about 10 years before the effectiveness reduces, so a top up is needed.

The anthrax vaccine? It needs 3 or 4 doses and regular top ups, and it only gives resistance.

The tetanus vaccine? It lasts about 10 years also.

Lots if vaccines have a time period where they grant primarily resistance. In the case of something like anthrax, the objective is to make it largely survivable.

I know you used a lot of your logic to arrive where tou are, so hopefully this additional information allows you to arrive at a better conclusion.

So they discovered faulty code and made some money?

Can anyone explain to me how this is illegal?

The code is a contract. If someone writes bad code and loses money, then write better code - just like if someone writes a bad legal contract and loses money.

The justice system is awful.
