Well shit, you make it sound like wiggling elementary particles on a lifeless iron-silicon based planet 12 billion light years away sound like a waste of time!

I mean, yeah. It's happened before. :)

I began using Lemmy abruptly after quitting Reddit after the API fiasco of last year. With the third party apps on Lemmy like Voyager (lol), picking up the slack.

People don't give a shit what service or server it's hosted on, as long as it's free and they can continue to interact with other users, because that's ultimately, what matters, the community.

If you were having a party with some friends watching the Superbowl and some random corporate ass clowns came in and said: "Pack it up, we're charging you for the privilege of talking to each other and also we're selling your conversations on the Internet", you'd give them a swift kick in the ass.

The content is yours, you made it, you spent the effort, the mental energy, the loss of actual lifetime to create it, post it, and share it with the world.

And then they want an IPO and pat themselves on the back for stealing. Get the fuck outta here, y'know?

Lemmy rules.

I got lucky, I bought a pair of Focal Elears on sale for like $800 and they're so good I quit my search.

Legitimately everything just sounds amazing, well, transparent. I forget I'm wearing them and it sounds like stuff is just in the room or whatever. That's good enough for me.

Interesting deduction. After analyzing all of the data, we have decided to expend zero effort and go around.

Not our problem, sorry, fly-past planet.

I used to suffer from clinical depression, and part of that I believe is because I used food as a coping mechanism to deal with inescapable stress and other pressures of toxic hyper-capitalist society (basically like anyone else with a substance abuse problem, except my substance was pizza).

Eating pizza every day, makes you fat. Being fat, makes life harder in general, you weigh more, are constantly fatigued, doing simple actions requires more effort, and dating is well - I mean, it's tougher.

Add the depression on top of that and it's like those jokes: "Sick, fat, lonely and tired." A recipe for disaster.

I began working out, but the word is wrong. I began training. I didn't follow the same policies and procedures of the lethally infirm/sick society that made me sick in the first place, but I went and struck it out on my own.

I went to the outskirts of the city, to No Man's Land, and I cycled in the mid afternoon summer's heat, 4-5 hours at a time.

I know what you're thinking, "where does someone find the time to cycle 4-5 hours a day while holding down a job for 8 hours as well" and the answer is, your instinctual response to this tells you everything you need to know about how our society is organized and how we approach diet, exercise, and living in general.

I didn't "work out". I didn't "exercise" to look good. I didn't meticulously drive 3 miles to an air conditioned gym to run 3 miles in place on a fucking rolling machine.

I crawled through the gaping maw of hell and emerged the other side, intact. Alive, and without the depression around my ankles.

So yeah, it helped. :)

Knoppix, followed by Mandrake, Ubuntu, etc.

Linux Mint was the only one that I installed and used unironically followed by Kubuntu.

I'm a simpleton, I just want my OS to work.

Hey man, quit repeating that. Each time we do it becomes closer to truth. Reality is what we make of it and we if tell these fucks no means no, it'll stop.

We'll own things, and we'll be unhappy about people trying to take away the things we own and paid for.

I recall it being an argument in a high school debate club or someother which made it's way onto 4chan and found supporters, who then proceeded to do what 4chan does best, and troll people/targets of their derision. Basically they assumed no one was stupid enough to believe it and were shockingly surprised.

Hello, expert solarpunk here.

TLDR: Car battery is 350Wh. Fridge uses 143W idle, so it'll run a fridge for 2-3 hours.

Explanation below:

Car batteries are lead-acid (sulphuric acid and lead plates).

They discharge according to Peukert's Law as the negatively charged plate gets covered in lead via the acid (electrolyte).

As the battery depletes, the negative plate can begin to take permanent damage, and so you can't discharge a lead-acid deeper than 10-20%, or about 10.8V, with the safe limit being ~50% discharge.

Most 12V, 60Ah batteries therefore only safely store and nominally discharge 350 Wh @ 350W.

You can discharge that as fast as you want but the faster you discharge, the lower the capacity is (with 1000-1500W bringing you way down to like 65 Wh). Fridges have a surge when they start up to fire up the compressor. Starter batteries can take that, but once the refrigerant is cold, the fridge just maintains the temperature which uses a lot less energy - about 143W on average.

I once had one of those crypto-people message me with a sales pitch, asking for money to help start their small business in Africa or something like that (can't remember what, I think it was a micro-brewery)

As an actual business owner, their initial ideas sounded okay, and I began forwarding them resources on how to secure a low-interest loan from their government and grants and stuff like that and then they abruptly closed up with:

"This is scam, brother. This is scam. You have good heart. I tell you only once, do not message this number."

That got a good laugh out of me, thank you

The smartphone /w camera is in their right hand, being blocked from view by the white frame of the mirror.

That's enough internet for today

Valve is working hard on it to make absolutely sure it doesn't suck.

Without the players, there is no game, everyone's got a part to play ;))

It's difficult to summarize into words, and English because many of the ideas and experiences of the post-life world transcend easy explanation, but here goes nothing (and I'm fine with being judged/downvoted, most of this will seem like nonsense to casual readers):

1. The goals, priorities, duties, missions, and dreams you have, what you value, and believe to be important -- isn't.

A. Approximately 180 seconds after you accept you're not recovering from your imminent death, you are immediately pardoned from all duties, debts, goals and otherwise.

B. Basically everything you'd been worried about, stops worrying or bothering you. Your name is off the high score board, permanently, so to speak.

2. Cognition is dependent on physicality.

A. The way that humans experience reality depends on their sensory organs, brain, and various other instruments to create a quasi coherent image of the world.

B. The raw state of being, is absolute chaos. It defies description. Hegel tried his best to put it into words but he also failed. Time is non-linear. Nothing makes any sense. Dimensions don't exist. Quantum physics barely scrapes the surface of what's going on.

3. Consciousness is independent of physicality.

A. Almost immediately after the ripping and dissolution of the corporeal body, after the dynamic system that used to be you, no longer exists, it is no longer dynamic, or on the material plane - life continues. You perceive. You persist. You think. It makes zero sense, but the universe is under absolutely no obligation to explain itself to you, or make sense.

4. Everything in Section Four unfortunately lacks the appropriate language, or terminology to sufficiently describe and so must be experienced by each person individually. Everyone is owed this. Sorry. No spoilers.

"It is time."

Moon landing was definitely real - there's junk all over your moon, abandoned bags, tracks, a bunch of crashed landers and other stuff. Not like it matters with all the craters.

Humans though, definitely aren't real. We believe that some microscopic race of deep rock dwelling protokaryotes (such as the water-bears) built the craft by pooling their resources over millennia. There's no way simians got together collectively and made it into space, so until we have proof of a spacefaring, upright, hairless great ape civilization - I mean, it sounds silly just saying it out loud. Yeah, no, humans definitely aren't real.

Hell yeah dude! What a small world.

I used to be called DarkLegacy back on SC B.Net, I made a map called Chaos War with StarEditPlus - UMS -- the basis of the MoBA genre (the core gameplay loop of attack move trigger spawning units was later copied into countless maps, including Hero Arena, and subsequently, Defense of the Ancients!)

Make it so.
