I will now send this to everyone on my contact list

Not just that, it’s also beneficial to the organization because that can just… implement it themselves, and then do a pull request, instead of being reliant upon a corporation to care about your desires. Literally a win-win. I hope state actors come to realize that sooner rather than later, it only makes sense

Better than the alternative

God I wish discord just stuck to being a straightforward app without any of the fancy fluff that’s just not needed. I hate the super-flashy things that obscure visibility and divert your attention so much

But it’s what they sell to people, and a minority seems to really like so

The point is that that’s the end conclusion of TDS if things keep progressing

It’s definitively something along the lines of “knows just enough to be dangerous”

Like, sure, I’ve also broken my Linux system, but I’m deliberately running distros like arch and doing things that the average user would never do, like, say, messing with the bootloader.

If you just install something like bazzite or mint, and use it like a normal user would, the risk for something breaking should be really low

Absolutely, google does that shit constantly, well known within the internet standards community

Thet tell on themselves so bad

It’s probably not a stretch to say that our aptitude at language is a major major part for our evolutionary success. It was probably bound to happen that one among the first few species that got as good at language as we are, would eventually dominate the world

And also, should be noted, only for games with a Linux native version

No, but a majority either supports it or doesn’t care enough to even vote against it. Trump won the popular vote

And if you magnetized some iron using the electricity, you could create a small generator and turbine, creating a constant (and practically free) supply for further experiments

If the people at the time allowed you and gave you the means to, I think most people could definitively revolutionize one or two fields, and accelerate multiple more

Even just knowing what is possible in the future should not be underestimated. I could point people towards the right track in physics, chemistry, astronomy, material science, biology, medicine, electronics, and so on. But especially in computer science and communications/networking, as those are the fields I know the most of. I could probably be a major founder of the field and (re)discover a lot of parts of it

A lot of science is essentially stumbling around in the dark. Yes, we’re doing it methodically and sometimes we get some pointers towards the right track, but we can’t know what we don’t know. If we knew exactly what it is that we should/could know but don’t, that is a massive benefit. Like for example, at some point in time people didn’t know if antibiotics or vaccines were possible, but if you told them “yeah, I don’t know the specifics, but I absolutely know 100% for sure that it’s possible” you can be sure it would spur a massive investigation into it, and you could give pointers from the bits and pieces you knew

Of course, as mentioned, the big issue is them trusting you and actually believing you have some sort of knowledge they don’t have. If you don’t play your cards right you’ll probably just get killed for being a charlatan lol. But if you manage to get some early wins and score yourself a dedicated workshop/lab and a team, you could do soon much

A lot of slang tends to be shortening of phrases, its happened with lots of older slang, though I don’t have any examples off the top of my head right now

Capitalism is truly the most efficient system. Needing whole teams to control the owner just because he’s the one that owns the workplace due to having money

That’s the price you pay to ensure archival in the face of adversity

I see green socks and pink crocs lol

But I think it’s because I’m color correcting the Crocs from the green, but the socks, while I acknowledge are likely white in reality, do look very green from reflecting green light

But then, yeah, there’s the difference of “do we take it at face value, or try to figure out what the ‘real’ colour is in neutral light?”

That’s why you need more people and spread the word. If enough people and devices are dedicated to the archival probably cess, the safer it is

There are some around. I know of https://annas-archive.org/ at least

But it should be kilowatts. There’s no reason not to use the standard metric for power, it’s unnecessary fragmentation of figures
