Yes, you should ask both stupid and non-stupid questions here. Only thing, it has to be a honest question and abide by the rules... No trolling, flaming or baiting.

Everytime I look to my left and right and the people surrounding me, I come to the conclusion that most people are nice and good. It doesn't look that way if I'm reading the news, however. I think most people are in fact good and the media coverage is skewed. But we definitely need to defend our world from the assholes. It's a constant struggle to prevail.

The Chinese internet is consored. And there is a language barrier. So you're generally not going to read a blog post or independent article 99% of the time someone gets beaten or killed there.

Also it's not focus or even within our perspective. And something not many people are interested in...

And thirdly, the US media and citizens perspective generally doesn't extend beyond their borders. When have you heard of police brutality in ANY other countries than the USA? Or whats bothering people in other countries?

Ahem, no. Science is a method to find answers with some metholody behind it. Not just any random questions and everything is the same.

(So yes, questioning science is good practice and a big part of a scientists job... Yet, you need to follow the scientific method if you do it, or you're just making (wrong) stuff up.)

Make it 63 (31?) to align with what C99 can distinguish.

Also: I really like unicode in identifiers. So if at all possible don't just have a random string of letters and numbers, make sure to include greek letters and all the funny emojis. (I just forgot which languages and compilers etc allow that.)

does dave know he's a zero?

Because they're mostly a group of people filled with hatred. That's what's uniting them. And the other side less so, so they don't act that way.

And the open source part is just a captcha page and a few config files for haproxy/nginx?

German, English, a tiny bit of French since I had that in school but forgot most of it. And a bunch of computer programming languages.

With the clicking etc it sounds like a mechanical failure?! A harddrive has several disks "platter"s stacked inside and multiple heads inside. They don't necessarily all fail at the same time. Also sometimes there are just small areas affected that become inaccessible due to various reasons. They'll probably grow at some point and you're bound to loose more data. But if it's an area of several consequtive blocks, it'll show when you're accessing those. And if your partitions and data are arranged serially, the next one might be physically stored where everything is still fine.

Maybe steal a commercial airplane and go on a joyride. Do a barrel roll like the one guy did in 2018. Then empty my bank account or somehow aquire some money to get a few escorts and hookers and whoever wants to join, have a nice dinner and spend the night together. I suppose a nice swinger club with a good buffet will also do.

Hmm. It was more an impulse. But I like your explanation better. I'd like to go with that... Maybe that'll be my thing from now on, instead of writing "Anti AI-License" underneath my posts as some other people here do.

There are very few countries where torrenting is safe. Generally speaking: No. You can try file hosters or other platforms, or share a VPN with a friend or use services similar to a VPN. AFAIK there is not alternative that's as fast and convenient as Torrent, though.

Idk. There have been some sites recommending the alternative to a subreddit. I scrolled through that. And put keywords for my interests into the search bar. Occasionally I spend some minutes scrolling through the 'All' feed and subscribing. Or when somebody links a crosspost. Over time I've also unsubscribed from lemmy.ml communities because I don't agree with their moderation practices. Found alternatives to that. And I've unsubscribed from most of the news communities, because reading about world politics is weighing me down and this place (Lemmy) is a lot about discussing the news.

I'm subscribed to roughly 100 communities now. Some of them are duplicates or a wasteland, that's just how it is. But I like that this way, my feed is somehow tailored to my interests. And there is no doom-scrolling any more, which I like too.

And the "he's likely the abusive part" is chinese whispers. He told that to your friend. And maybe heard that from his ex who supposedly heard that from her therapist. That's a long chain. Could be true. Could be his ex manipulating him or being angry, could be him manipulating your friend. Or a misunderstanding.

I just watch subscribed communities. To me that's just too much noise. So I haven't blocked any.

Uh. I'm always depressed after reading the news. And loose faith in humanity. I'm far better off meeting neighbors and realizing there are actually lots of nice people around. Or partying with family. Or reading a good book or working on my projects. Sometimes I get (politically) active in my neighbourhood.

I also have the urge to follow the news and politics. But in the end I don't get anything out of it. And it doesn't provide me with anything lasting for me. So I try to balance that... And national politics isn't all there is. If you don't like that show (and I think it's more a show than anything else), you could also learn about European politics, or what's going on in Korea (for example). I think that's going to provide you with a broader perspective on the world, than just watching something that's supposed to be a show to stir up emotions.

Hmmh. That is about a different author who said that on Instagram. And reading that Instagram post (which I haven't done before) ... There seems to be more to it. Sharing documents with explicit content with multiple people seems to be the issue. And that'd align with my experience. I've worked on 'normal' Google cloud documents with ~30 to 50 people and nothing ever happened. That could be coincidence but I suppose lots of people do that. Maybe it's really the combination of the two factors.

Oh, the comment below/above was supposed to be here.
