  • I've actually found the cure to my old video game nostalgia is watching old lets-plays. Usually I can skip a whole bunch of the creators video and get that nostalgia bug outta my system in a few hours without spending any money.

  • That's a single authority falacy, in this case there is only one opinion, the person who's protecting their financial information, to promote the idea of not looking into someone's bank account. When there could be a legitimate reason to look into a person's finances.

    In all seriousness in so far as the meme is presenting itself single authority is prudent. Like what if every decision about yourself everyone was always a stakeholder? That would be hell.

  • Maybe once we start calling a spade a spade, will those lemmings perhaps rethink their positions? Or will they continue to barrel head-first off the cliffs of self-respect?

    Once we start, my dude, that's been going strong since 2018 at the latest. At this point any Elon SIMPs left are following him blindly over the cliffs.

  • It's a pro-police flag. It's supposed to represent the thin blue line between law and order. It's routinely used by people who support the police to a weird extent and as a counter symbol to the Black Lives Matter protests/movement.

  • Play smaller and taller. Playing a wide game is tougher but not impossible. Also don't do what I do, do not have a custom built species for every origin. There's a lot of origins now and it's a little cluttered. Just build a race you like and get playing.

  • Finally! Someone with over 1000 hours in a game. I think I have over 3000 hours in Stellaris alone. Granted I've definitely walked away from that game in the endgame for over an hour and come back with practically nothing changing. It's a very slow game.

  • I feel bad for people who truly can not afford good kitchen stuff, granted most people in my area can. Otherwise yeah, assuming the person were discussing can afford it. There's no going around spending a little money on good kitchenware if decent results are expected. It's not like people have to drop thousands, but a few hundred is kinda normal.

    Also tip for anyone who's building up their first kitchen, those gimmicky things that are always on sale are almost always crap. Buying that stuff is worse than gambling, cause at least gambling doesn't leave you with a kitchen full of worthless clutter.

  • First off, a word of warning. TempleOS and any fork I've seen does not do hardware monitoring. Meaning the OS has no clue what the CPU temp is or any other temp or power usage. Modern hardware should be able to protect itself from this, but it's a fuck around and find out kinda deal. These operating systems can fry your hardware, it's very unlikely but not impossible.

    That said, the best one is TinkerOS. It's more or less the same as TempleOS but for newer hardware. Most other forks we're more or less hobby projects by various people and I don't think there's much documentation on those if at all. I'd never use any of them as a daily driver though, as neat as they were.

  • Then the incentive becomes to stop a whistleblower faster if they had a dead-man cache than if they released it all at once. There's no guarantee that the whistleblower is being honest or is capable enough to undertake something like that but there's always a risk that the whistleblower may disclose that information anyway. Better to stop the whistleblower by arresting them first and deal with the potential fallout than negotiate. Now the whistleblower's reputation is ruined, if they're behind bars they're effectively silenced, and they're as good as dead to society without all that messy work trying to fake a suicide.

  • The Wikipedia page is your best friend here. In short was an operating system written from the ground up by a brilliant, bipolar and occasionally psychotic man who was named named Terry Davis. It is important to mention when talking about Terry Davis to note he stalked several women and he probably took his own life.

    It was Terry's belief that a way to speak to God was through computers. So he built an operating system from the ground up to act as God's temple. It's actually a pretty nifty achievement truth be told and an interesting view into the mind of someone suffering from psychosis. It is not suitable for every day use, but people have taken the foundations of his OS and ran with it making equally interesting operating systems.

  • Historically, food wasn't as abundant as it is today. Gluttony as a sin, at least with food, isn't the same today as it was 200 years ago. That's a ridiculous argument to make. If you really want to speak 'historically', it was advantageous for our hunter gatherer ancestors to exploit any opportunity for extra food because they never knew when the next meal would be. We're still hardwired for that, except food isn't rare anymore it's abundant for most people on the planet.

    Besides, food addiction isn't the same as other additions, an alcoholic can obtain from drinking alcohol, an opioid addict can too, no one can stop eating food. Unlike other additions, someone who's obese because of their eating habits can't quit food. The thing their addicted to is in front of their face every day.

  • Honestly the easier way to switch from solar DC to grid AC is to just have a flywheel between the grid and the solar power plant. It might not be as efficient as a capacitor bank or super capacitor bank but it's dead simple to implement and it's extremely reliable.

  • You know you can give them a fake name. I've known several people who had a go-to name for restaurant reservations or something because their last name was just too complicated or too common. No one's checking ID.

  • While there are no laws that really stop an AI from doing whatever, there are already laws to stop someone from doing that. It might be difficult to find a corporation like UHC guilty of fraud when they use a faulty AI to refuse health care, it's pretty easy to go the other way and charge a person for using a corporation's AI in a way they did not intend.

    A corporation causes a million deaths, no one bats an eye. Steal a million dollars from a corporation and everyone loses their fucking minds.

  • I'm sorry to say, but that's not necessarily true. It would need to be a police recording or record of someone threatening you for them to actually have to do anything. You could walk into a precinct with a bona fide video of someone making a serious threat to your life and the police typically won't do anything about it. That same person could make a clip about murdering you and post it online with a clear plan to kill you and the police still wouldn't have to act. All of that is hearsay, regardless of how serious the intent is and the police can choose to ignore it. Unless it's someone worth helping, someone who might be able to make a sizable donation.

  • One of the funniest programing bugs ever. Gandhi's code was meant to be the least aggressive AI in the game, but if something made Ghandi become even less aggressive it could overflow backwards and set his aggressiveness to max. This creating a Gandhi that wanted to always be at war.
