Lil silly
You're making a huge assumption based only on the fact that Windows hides these logs from the end user.
I've had line of sight to those logs through a system that automatically highlights those errors and warnings for something like eight years now, for a fleet of over 1000 Windows machines at the start which is now roughly 5000 total.
In that time I've seen less than 200 graphics driver issues logged, and they all were on machines with failing hardware.
Yes, they are not anywhere as visible to the end user as they are on Linux, but they are also significantly less common (graphics issues in particular).
Also, if the warnings are meaningless, why display them to the end user? It's just more noise that actual problems can sneak by in.
Please spare me whatever philosophical navel gazing you're trying to do here. I'm asking what should be an incredibly straightforward question about what should be basic functionality in any P2P seeding based system:
What control, if any, does an individual user have over what they seed back into the system?
Some P2P systems just give each user an encrypted blob of all sorts of stuff, so the individual user can't choose and on paper isn't responsible for whatever it is that they are seeding back in. I'm personally not ok with not having a way to ensure that I'm not seeding nazi manifestos that were stealthing as a reasonably named subplebbit.
Holy shit you cannot be serious. In the shortest possible terms: trust systems are forms of moderation. Anything implementing them would not fall under what I was talking about.
This project doesn't appear to implement that. It doesn't even appear to have a bare minimum way for users to prevent themselves from sharing something they viewed but don't want to share. Viewing something should not imply trust.
Definitely appreciate the assumption that I'm just a dumbass and you've come to shine the light of enlightenment on me though. That my point of view could only be possible to reach through ignorance. That's always nice.
How are users able to decide what they seed and what they don't? Just because I viewed something doesn't mean I necessarily want to support its proliferation.
I bring this point up every time I see someone pushing the idea of P2P or federated social networks with no moderation and no one has a solution for it yet. Because there isn't a solution.
It's like these people don't even want to look at existing social media with minimal moderation. It doesn't take long on 4chan and other less reputable *chan style sites to see that no matter how much you want to shake off the chains of overbearing moderators, there is a bare minimum moderation necessary for any social media to survive.
Even social media sites on TOR have moderation.
When even the darkest, least moderated cesspools online still have some minimal moderation, it should be a massive neon sign that there needs to be some moderation functionality.
Brother Says It Was Falsely Accused Of Bricking Printers That Use Cheaper Third-Party Ink Cartridges

So when someone uses random sludge instead of ink and breaks the printer they can point at that as the cause.
It's basic CYA. They'll let you do whatever you want, but if something goes wrong and it breaks then you're on your own.

I hate to be an albatross around your neck, but it would serve you well to seek out opportunities to practice and hone your social skills. There's definitely a wide variety of neurodivergence in the IT groups in my workplace, but you may have screwed yourself in terms of an opportunity to further build coping/masking skills that are sadly necessary in the workplace.
A commom refrain in many online spaces for experienced software devs and IT workers is that the job requires significantly more soft/social skills than most people are adequately prepared for by their studies. This also matches my personal experience coming up towards year 10 in IT, year 5 as a Systems Engineer/Admin/Scripting Monkey.
Not really the internet, but I remember Dr. Oz being a daytime TV show that was full of quackery delivered as though it was coming from an expert.
https://rentry.co/MR-EverythingWindowsExplained#installing-windows has further info, but tl;dr- install without a key, then use MASgrave after it's installed.
It may make you happy to know that ED has solo mode. Player fleet carriers are still around (as they act as psuedo stations out past the edge of developed space) and the markets are still effected by player actions, but you don't have to worry about Cmdr Immersion Breaker screaming by in his hot pink jankmobile, or ganking you with it.
It's also worth noting that compared to the size of the universe in ED, the amount of "crafted" environments is relatively small (but definitely there). The universe is so big that depending on where you are in it, you can also go long periods without encountering other players. It's a simulation before any sort of RPG.
Lemmy is small and still somewhat insular, so certain topics tend to get more content than others. You can solve that issue by blocking what you don't want to see (by community or by user), and most importantly: participate by posting content yourself.
We don't have anywhere near the amount of users that you can treat this place entirely like reddit and just expect the content to just come to you.
Edit: Also, if you don't like how a community is run here, there's most lilely another version of it on another instance with different community mods. There's a ton of "ask lemmy" communities out there if you don't like lemmy.ml's moderation style.
The tradeoff for no ads and no corporate incentives is that you have to put in just a little bit more personal effort to curate the experience you want.
Gender being a construct doesn’t mean you can’t willingly put yourself into that pre constructed idea, you can be whatever you like. It’s prescribing it to others that’s fucked up.
Thank you. That was the point I was trying to make. Anyone can be whatever they want. Categorizing others is the problem, and one that feels especially wrong for me to keep seeing come from the LGBTQIA+ and ally/adjacent communities (please don't nitpick me on terminology here, my point is that it seems to be coming from the people who I would expect to be better about this than other groups).
As others have said: filter filter filter. Lemmy is small enough still that you can massively curate by blocking communities and even users where you don't like what they post.
Yeah, this sort of shit has gotten under my skin since identity stuff started exploding into public discourse.
If gender is a construct, why the fuck are we still using traditionally masculine and feminine actions/interests to prescribe identity? What gives anyone the right to prescribe someone else's identity?

You mean the overtly over the top "my family member is (mildly) infuriating" posts? Yep.
16 hour old account. Only this post and comments on it.
It's pointless too. Account karma doesn't exist here, so it's not like they can farm it.
It's a journey to find the right dosage, and combo of meds. Not to be negative but it took me literal years. Despite the horror of that statement, it was and continues to be worth it.
The "superhuman" feeling at the beginning is normal, and it's normal for it to fade. Whenever I lapse in taking my meds (new doctor is being a pain in the ass with refills) I get that again for about two days. That high point is not what you should be chasing as a new normal, but to be fair it doesn't sound like you are. That full superhuman feeling wouldn't be lasting for two whole weeks, or months.
The meds aren't going to make you not yourself. They aren't going to magically change yoir bad habits for you. In fact, they can exacerbate some bad habits by enabling you to focus on them for longer periods of time. It does for me. The meds should enable you to stop yourself when you are making a bad decision and redirect yourself. They should prevent situations where you know what you need to do but can't will yourself to do.
Discuss all of this with your doctor.
For new people, please note that lemmy.ml is also a marxist-leninist instance (hence the "ml") and tends to be the home of some more abrasive users of lemmy. Unless you're into that philosophy I'd reccomend only using it for dev discussion and info on the main Lemmy "project".
Otherwise you're liable to get shit on for uttering more "mainstream leftist" views because their userbase doesn't think you're left enough. That makes it sound worse than it is, but there are some users who have given up on Lemmy because of dogpiling by ml users.
Which is intensely frustrating for people who actually care about free speech. Can't talk about it without setting off everyone's "that guy is probably a nazi" alarms.
It's absolutely an intentional trap to attempt to get people to support moves against free speech by tainting the concept through negative association.
We shouldn't tolerate hate speech. But I'm concerned about where we end up in a few decades if the concept of free speech keeps the current connotations.
And people might consider even this comment as sealioning or something.
Meanwhile we have people unironically using phrases like unalive and censoring swear words in screenshots so they don't trip the automated content filters on mainstream social media. That should be more concerning than people seem to take it. People joke about "literally 1984", but unalive is blatant newspeak.
Sonic lore is hilariously messy. It gets absolute batshit when you start getting into the Archie comics. There's more than enough to keep going forever, but at some point you need to address your own brain oozing out your ears and stop.
There's some minor stuff I left out, like how Mecha Sonic (Game Gear) is often called Silver Sonic to differentiate it from Mecha Sonic (Mega Drive/Genesis) when talking about the games, but Mecha Sonic (Mega Drive/Genesis) is canonically named Silver Sonic in the Archie Comics. Both of those are different from Silver the Hedgehog, who is from the future that alternate dimension Nega Eggman (mentioned in the other comment) is from.
And seriously, the Archie comics timeline is insane. This is from the "Metal Sonic Series (Archie Comics)" page on the Sonic Wiki, and it's notably not the only robot doppelgangers-of-characters "team".
Like how do you even start with that? First Robotnik War? Metal Sonic v3.0 is separate from the other versions, but spoiler: he isn't the same 3.0 from Sonic Rivals 2. Mecha Sonic is a separate entity from Silver Sonic?
Also, presented without comment: Psuedo-Sonic from the Archie comics.
People tend to think of the old Star Wars Extended Universe as the classic over-detailed lore, but the Sonic Archie comics are way way up there too. It was the longest running monthly comic book series to never be relauched, with roughly 512 total issues if you count the spinoffs.
Cybershell is an old Something Awful goon who's made plenty of Sonic videos, but I think his Archie Sonic retrospective/postmortem is an entertaining overview, if heavy on using the word retarded. Was totally aping some of his attitude for that shitpost of a comment.
So is this (unfortunately the comment was edited to what it says now after Cranston responded to it).
