you could try to cook up some kind of trust chain, without totally abandoning privacy.

Get a government-certified agencies minting master key tied to your id. You only get one, with trust rating tied to it.

With that master key you can generate infinite amount of sub-ids that dont identify you but show your trust rating(fuzzed).

Have a cross-network reporting system that can lower that rating for abuses like botting.

idk Im just spitballing

This isn't a binary. You can oppose absolutism, revolutionary terror and the current neoliberal status quo all at the same time.

When it comes to death penalty I am with Gandalf.

However, if you're a cog in the machine that's crushing human lives and dreams to dust, you can't be mad when some of them clap back. That's just fair.

I'm not worried lol I'm poor. I'd like a number cause if you're for death penalty, you should've thought long and hard through all the details.

Cause you know. It's about killing people.

Can I ask what's the cutoff? How much money/how high of a position qualifies you for the electric chair?

I think people are sleeping on the power of "The Shrug"™️

Whenever someone is asking why are you not following the societal norm, just 🤷 Don't explain yourself, let them try to rationalize to you why the norm is good actually. Then you can finish them with "Okay?" followed by another shrug.

Works every time.

A few years ago I was living in fear of local government turning internet into intranet north korea-style (dont ask). So - no joke - I've had factorio archived with latest versions of seablock, space exploration and nullius. Figured it'll keep me going for a decade or so.

I'll check it out, thanks!

Windows' lightweight photo editing thing. Great for highlighting screenshots.

All image editing software on linux (that I've tried) is 10x more clunky.

Same. I've been having a blast for the last year with three other ppl from work: we go for coffees, play board games every two weeks, chat in messages.

Haven't been so happy with my social life since, like, ever.

A lot of moving around, not knowing what city or country I will be at next week.

Was a wild ride for sure, glad I was fortunate and persistent enough to find a place I can tentatively call home again ❣️

Russian military draft.

It's a bad habit, to revolve your world around a single person. Desperation and lack of self-confidence is hella unattractive, in any type of relationship.

A mistake that I luckily did not make, ever, not once.

This thinking is precisely why Jan 6 happened and will happen again if we validate that thinking by doing it ourselves.

What do you mean validate they don't give a crap. The alt right isn't going to become less relevant because we refuse to use their tactics against them. The choice is do things by the book, keep our precious moral high ground and most likely lose or get dirty and have a fighting chance.

You know what is a humane value? Respecting other people even when you vehemently disagree with them. Acknowledging that they are human beings and have a right to their thoughts and ideas even when you feel they are wrong. Because if you do not you are tacitly agreeing to their thinking that YOU are wrong. You are giving that perspective credence and the harder you push back the more you are allowing them to justify suppression of YOUR ideas..

What's humane in respecting someone calling for genocide? Sure we should try to change their minds, I am not agitating for their liquidation, but for clawing out the political and cultural power back from their sweaty hands to try to turn away from the f-ing iceberg.

Metaphorical iceberg, because all the real ones will melt after trump dissolves the EPA.

What would happen if Biden was successful in stopping Trump but then, because we wouldn’t ever keep unfettered presidential power… right? RIGHT? We’re the “good” guys… what would happen if MAGA Republicans won in 2028? I doubt we’d ever have another election again.

From the standpoint of democracy that wouldn't be ideal, but why is republicans having 2(4) years of unchecked power better? They don't give a shit and gonna do a lot more damage to it.

Why is it ok when you agree with the outcome and not ok when you don’t?

Because the side coming to power wants to gleefully deport, repress and kill people, and the other one much less so. The good guys are "good" not because they respect the rules, but because they believe in humane values, in ending their fists when the others' faces begins and all that good stuff. The fascists are bad not because they break the law, but because they believe and want to do fascism.

If the rules are unjust then breaking them is an ethical imperative. And Trump not being in jail is frankly a crime against lady liberty.

Breaking the rules isn't fascism though. Fascism is fascism.

What do you think is a more ethical choice:

a) uphold the law, knowing it will let fascist come to power and kill thousands

a) break the law and stop him

Ideology is a sociopolitical model of the world. To understand complex system, we have to reduce it to key factors. It's important to remember that it is a fallible oversimplification, but without one we are lost in the noise, blindly reacting to immediate change.

True, can't think of how would you combat a cleverly written aim-bot.

Don't tell the client what's going on outside its vision, I suppose? Add a small buffer to compensate for latency, so wall hack would be more of a "corner hack".

I imagine the alternative way to combat kernel-level cheats would be asking player for all his game state data, validating it on a server?

Wouldn't work on peer-to-peer and you'd have to do a bunch of unnecessary compute(recalculating every tick if player-generated data is possible according to game rules) but its the only way I can think of.
