Game and Tool developer working with Godot and NixOS.
I once had a dream I was swimming in a river, and when I looked up at the night sky I saw something impact the Moon and shatter it, sending chunks down to Earth’s surface.
Time to get that doomsday hype train rolling again for 2024 YR4! I don’t even know how large an object would need to be in order to do something like that, probably larger than this is. I guess it’ll just have to remain a dream, sigh.
It’s a really interesting thought, and under ideal circumstances would work IMO. Obviously things are never ideal and there would be all sorts of roadblocks and gotchas as something like this was developed. Things we could think of now, and other things we probably couldn’t. Not to mention the whole problem of, “who develops it and how much trust can you give them?”
As I was reading the idea, it made me think of the suits from A Scanner Darkly that the undercover narcs wore. Basically heavily obfuscated the voice and displayed always-changing patchwork human features to anyone observing from the outside, including trying to hide body shape. Something like that could get similar results. Obviously a video filter would be much easier to develop than a sci-fi suit, but still.
The question remains: did you hit CTRL+ALT+F3 because you needed to clean your monitor, or do you need to clean your monitor because you hit CTRL+ALT+F3?
There are probably still a ton of oil heated homes with steam pipes wrapped in asbestos in the US. Hell, even my high school in the early 2000s was still using asbestos insulation everywhere, and I recall seeing those mesothelioma class-action commercials way before that in the 90s.
I bought a house in New England that still had it in 2016 and it was upwards of $7000 to replace at a discount (which also included the boiler, so probably closer $2000 for the pipes+labor) in 2018. For those looking to buy a home that might be oil heated, keep this in mind! One of the previous owners attempted to cover it all with black duct tape, but it wasn’t made to last under the heat those pipes can put out (especially when your boiler tstat breaks and ambient temps rise to 90F…)
I take your point, but it assumes that I see killing an animal for sustenance as being needlessly cruel or violent in all cases. In factory settings with no regulation, yes it is most likely true. However, if you consider living off the land and all that, honoring the animal and respecting nature, etc. then I don’t have an issue with it.
There are certain regions of the planet, like large swaths of the USA and many more, where killing animals for sustenance isn’t needed at all in the present world. Yes, there are a lot of arguments for converting cow land into crop land. On the flip side there are areas of the world where the communities have to rely on their livestock for sustenance (whether by lack of infrastructure or climate or both), and it’s probably 50/50 whether or not some do it humanely. Animals killing other animals for sustenance is something that has been a part of evolution and survival for a very long time.
I don’t think it’s fair to compare it like you are to child abuse for these reasons.
This is pretty much the basis for the entire speed-running community. Maybe not totally different (like walking around as a peaceful tourist in Hitman), but definitely not utilizing mechanics as intended
Fair point, although the addicts are not actually interested or want to take the methadone as a replacement and is mainly for uncontrollable withdrawal symptoms.
It’s a larger difference gap than plant meat vs animal meat IMO. In other words, not taking methadone could be a life or death difference (or at least the difference between relapse and not).
In the meat debate, you could most definitely get a very close texture/taste without the fake meats if you use the right plants and spices. You don’t need the fake meats in order to replicate and satiate that meat-taste desire.
It’s a spectrum, not black and white. Ranges from minimal- to ultra-processed. I’m referencing anything more than minimal (which is as simple as slicing an apple). I have less GSI issues when my intake is raw and whole.

So yes, I would consider all those things you listed as processed.
Try a different shell, like fish or zsh, maybe. Something with really intense command auto-completion and history.
I personally use fish, it is amazing for this kind of thing.
ETA: also read up on rc files for whatever shell you are using. Creating aliases and functions based on what you do all the time is essential IMO.
I just don’t see it as a religion to force down other people’s throats.
And from your other comment, oils are processed foods on top of the fake meats still containing preservatives.
I’m glad you don’t shit yourself, that means you don’t need to pay attention to my warning about MC in the fake meats. Some people have reactions to it, though. Are you also going to tell me that Lactose Intolerance is bullshit because you’ve never shit your pants from drinking milk?
Fair enough, I can agree with that for sure. I just hate how taste is the driving factor in these kinds of articles / sentiments, and that most people focus solely on taste. It’s way better when it’s tasty, no doubt, but the purpose should be more on fueling the complex biological machine that carries you around and interacts with your friends and family.
To add to your point on the flipside, I know several vegans that think they are healthy just because they only eat things with a vegan label. High Fructose Corn Syrup is technically vegan, and can be included in products that have a label (in high amounts, even). Vegan != Healthy. It just means no animal products.
Falling off the bandwagon is not my point. I’m not trying to convert anyone to veganism here. All I’m saying is, just because something tastes like meat doesn’t mean it will pull someone away from eating meat. If they don’t actually want to stop eating meat, then they won’t.
Besides taste, there are very real changes in your body’s gut biome based on the content of what you digest. Your body knows that what you ate is not animal protein and adjusts the enzymes in your stomach as a result. This is why a lot of people complain for the first several weeks of going vegan, because they are gassy as all hell due to these changes.
However, if you keep a little meat mixed in with your new plant diet, that won’t be as strong of a change. Your body knows even if your taste buds don’t.
I’d rather people eat for their blood types than trying to force fuck themselves into what someone else suggests they eat.

MC may not have the same effect on you as some other people, just like red meat may not have the same effect on you as it does others. Some blood types actually need meat, others require raw roots and less cooking.
So yes, eat the meat if your body and metabolism react to it in a healthy way. Just do yourself a favor and go to a local butcher, don’t buy the pre-packaged garbage from grocery stores or Boar’s Head.
Lastly, my point was that the fake meats are all heavily processed foods, as opposed to real meat which is considered a whole-food in most forms. Let your body break it down into what it needs, not some machine in another state run by a CEO who wants to make money off you.
Nope. Give me real plants, unprocessed. Just because a heavily processed compound that happens to be considered vegan might taste like meat has absolutely no bearing on whether or not someone is going to stop eating meat.
It’s kinda like a heroin addict. They’re not gonna stop just because you took their needle away or gave them a different drug. They have to want to stop on their own, otherwise anything you try is moot.
And I bet all of them are loaded with methylcellulose (a.k.a. nature’s laxative) just like every other bullshit fake meat product.
I follow a vegan diet now, but grew up in the southern US around legit BBQ. There is no point trying to replicate that, never going to come close and it’s just going to use shitty processed food techniques to accomplish it. If you’re going to go vegan, how about actually be vegan instead of chasing a life you decided to leave behind.
Again, just saying not to lean on Tor as your only privacy tool that is 100% foolproof. The comment I originally applied to made it seem like Tor is the only thing you need.
Even your suggestion includes a secondary tool.
I didn’t say don’t use it, I am just making a note for those that don’t know Tor and expect it to be the 1 tool to rule them it all.
Yes, some of the attacks I mentioned have been mitigated, but that’s no reason to assume it is 100% foolproof. Clearly, it wasn’t before.
Just know that various governments have been confirmed to be running their own Tor nodes and monitoring traffic. To the point where they can de-anonymize some stuff in the right conditions.
Then you have the whole KAX17 thing.

All this to say, take extra precautions and don’t get complacent just 'cause you’re using Tor. It’s kinda like how most car accidents happen within a mile of your home, because you’ve driven it so many times you some times check out and go into auto-pilot. Some people assume Tor is the end-all, and it is not unfortunately.
This assumes that Robots will have only the same 5 senses that humans do. Forgetting that they could also have things like lidar, xray, echolocation, sonar, etc. and the range of frequencies they could see/hear would probably be off the charts compared to our shitty ears.
Having said that, has anyone taken post office dropbox?
Yes! I had the exact same thought after I got my Steam Deck and started using Arch again about a year ago. I remember it being clunky and awful, but now it’s so smooth and simple.
Granted I don’t do anything crazy, I pretty much just load a clip, SHIFT+R at a few time stamps, and render a new file. Maybe add a dissolve or fade. There wasn’t really much that could even do this simple stuff well before KDEnlive beefed up, at least not that I used.
