  • There is also a danger that the kill switch command could be leaked to the Russians or the Chinese who would use it to shut down the USA's defenses just before a full scale invasion of a now defenseless USA.

  • Reddit is nothing but a bunch of violent thugs , I had the sheer nerve to suggest non-violent passive resistance might be a viable form of protest and I was met with wave after wave of hateful responses and a downvote brigade.

  • There are tons of titles that do not make reference to gender.

    Doctor , The Right Reverend , The Reverend , The guru swami I am all right Jack bugger the rest of you thanks gee , The honorable , The Right honorable , Your Grace , Your Honor , Your Holiness , Your majesty , Their Infernal Majesty supreme overseer of the pit of wailing souls and lost left thongs...

  • Tom Scott did a video on this , it is quite informative .

    They are not going to run out of addresses , and Alphabet (google & friends) who owns youtube has massive server farms , so storage is unlikely to ever be a problem.

  • As long as users from allied instances can still post it is all good.

  • In some countries it is actually advantageous to be female when attempting to get into STEM at college , there is additional talent identification and tuition at high schools with the girls in STEM programs that makes sure that girls who have an aptitude for STEM are identified and offered additional tuition, coaching and mentoring above and beyond what boys would receive (who's STEM grades have on average fallen over the last 20 years. Since school budgets have not grown but additional programs that favor girls have been mandated the funds to run those programs have come at the expense of the general programs that have been cut back and underfunded resulting in a two tier education system with girls occupying the upper tier while feminist misandrists doggedly deny that a gender gap even exists)

    So yes , there are advantages , but now how you think . And egalitarians have been looking on with increasingly despair as a new gender gap is emerging that mirrors the old gender gap almost exactly.

    So there should be no barrier to entry for females in chess.

    (This post is explicitly anti-sexist , for those that need it spelled out to them. What I am suggesting is that education budgets need to be beefed up so that nobody's education is suffering)

  • There is literally no disadvantage to being female in chess.

    Making a female only division is a form of soft sexism through low expectations.

    Next thing you will be patting them on the head and condescendingly praising them for doing so well.

  • I am looking for an equivalent to Open Directories which list open caliber libraries.

  • Just accept that Reddit has brain worms and move here , this is a better solution because nobody can possibly own the entire network.

  • I work off a ticket system , Every morning I pick a ticket that looks like it is something I know how to solve and I work on it , at lunch I talk to coworkers about my task for the day and get their input and in turn I give my input to their tasks , then with luck I have the problem solved by 5pm when I go home for the day. I might continue to work on the ticket the next day or I might update the ticket as solved or unsolved (with my notes appended to help the next person if I am genuinely stumped) as appropriate.

  • I can only speak for myself, I am a centrist gen Xer and I don't give a damn about homosexuality or abortion . I personally think they should be background noise and unimportant issues when other issues are being considered. I neither support nor oppose these issues , because I have limited emotional energy and I would rather worry about important issues.

  • Steam installs perfectly well on Debian and most games pick up a small performance boost from running on an OS with less overheads.

    Unraid servers can be hosted from Debian with few issues .

  • This is worthy of an Austin Powers sketch.

  • Ronald Dion DeSantis, you MUST use his full legal name now.

  • Transport Tycoon

    Doom

    Goldeneye 64 (I bought a N64 console just for this game)

    Frontier Elite

    Baldur's gate

    Fallout 2

    X : Beyond The Frontier

  • He has been quite clear in his views he views the mods as landed gentry and the common users as peasants . Fuck Spez.

  • If you run an ad blocker and no ads turn up when you browse , they they won't get ad money from you. Negating the value of engagement.

  • I am lurking and watching the dumpster fire at this point , reddit went full Authoritarian on Dndmemes and sacked a bunch of cool mods because we turned it into a goblin porn subreddit for the shutdown/blackout and the admins did not like that... so I am posting here now and watching Reddit burn in the distance.

  • Use public key encryption programs like Open PGP or GNU Privacy Guard.

    BUT you will want a program that is under active community development which releases regular updates to address any weaknesses or flaws as soon as they are developed , and ideally you want to be able to hand a copy to all trusted people you would like to securely communicate with.
