  • People with nothing to hide need not be bothered about surveillance, Supreme Court says

  • But of course, she shrugged it off and said she did not care.

    Getting people to care is strangely hard. I think it's because accepting some of the things we want people to care about means grappling with how the world is unfair and fucked up, and people are emotionally just not ready for that. People are stupid cowards.

  • I feel like there should be circumstances where if you're accused of something and found innocent, you need to be made whole. Maybe that's a huge payout. Maybe you get all your stuff back.

    If the police bring you in for questioning because you were riding your bike, and you're shown innocent, they should pay out like $500/hour to you.

  • No system will long survive players acting in bad faith. There's no system you can come up with that is immune to conservatives and capitalists fucking with it. It might take them years, but they will never stop. They are the worst people on earth. If you could thanos-snap away conservatives, the world would become a better place overnight. Every problem we're facing is either their fault, or made worse by them.

    And we're never going to get rid of conservatives. There are always going to be shitty humans who believe their in-group needs to be protected and the out-group needs to be bound. Shitty, scared, little shit bags that will blame brown people or queers or whatever, anything, so they can think down familiar paths and avoid any hard introspection.

    So I don't know. You don't stop building a home because the elements are always trying to tear it down. But you can't punch the wind in the fucking throat so hard they cry and vomit at the same time, so maybe it's not quite the same as a maga hat.

  • Remember kids, if you buy boxes, shipping supplies, office supplies, or industrial supplies DO NOT SHOP ULINE.

  • It's just emotional slop, like everything from from conservatives is

  • Trump has been president twice. Clearly many people are not learning shit.

  • Feels like the same story everywhere. People are stupid, short sighted, and selfish, and thus want to prioritize cars.

    • it's free
    • runs on a wider range of hardware
    • is more customizable
    • can run much windows software with wine or proton
    • has a large ecosystem of native software
      • much of it free and open source

    The advantage of Mac is it's more widely used and thus more widely supported (for things that are supported at all). You can just buy an apple computer from a trusted source and it'll work. Linux doesn't quite have that yet. If more people move to Linux , you'll find better drivers and stuff.

  • Valve put up a release candidate for Proton 10.0-4 with lots more Linux / SteamOS gaming fixes

  • People are intensely emotionally invested in cars and meat. You could prove beyond all doubt that a vegetarian life would be longer, happier, and more prosperous, and people would disbelieve you because of their feelings.

    Many people are little better than toddlers.

  • Oh I read about that but never played it. Thanks for reminding me of it.

  • How do you listen to music?

    Jump

  • Mostly stuff I bought from Bandcamp. It's drm free, but for convenience I usually let it stream from the app.

    I also have a bunch of mp3s from older purchases I listen to sometimes, but I don't have a media server set up so that's mostly limited to my desktop.

    Sometimes I'll pull up a specific track on YouTube, but that's mostly for "do you remember this song?" stuff. Adblock and the "resume playback from lock screen" make it bearable.

  • You would likely find the end of the stairs, and then more rooms and hallways. You need to walk without purpose for a while for it to pull up the final room.

    The dungeon was heavily inspired by the novel House of Leaves. Endless, featureless, black hallways. Great book.

  • Well, sunk cost fallacy is extremely common.

    But also people don't have perfect knowledge. And people change, and change at different rates.

    Imagine a couple that meets when they're both pretty immature in their 20s. They have fun and fall in love. Then they buy a home together, and the woman slowly realizes she's matured into an adult role while the husband is still basically the 20 year old bro. Would you casually suggest burning the whole thing down? Finding a new relationship in your mid 30s, especially if you want kids, when there's no guarantee the new person will be any better, is daunting.

    What if they're not financially independent?

    It's easy to sit back and tell people how to behave in the abstract, but real situations aren't always so obvious.

  • Ummm

    Jump

  • Yes! I usually take any opportunity to gush about Fate but I restrained myself here

    The main weakness of Fate is you need more engaged players. Stuff like DND can mostly hum along with passive players, but Fate falls really flat if people aren't engaging with it.

  • One of the clues they found was from a survivor from the antagonist's party who had gone in ahead of them. He said the boss-man had kept asking them lots of questions about their youth, where they'd grown up, their hobbies. Just a lot of personal questions. The survivor didn't know why, since boss-man had never taken an interest in them before.

    The trick is to walk without looking for anything in particular. If you just walk without a conscious goal, you'll eventually find the room with the macguffin. The antagonist's strategy was to keep them talking about stuff so they're distracted, and not thinking about what they're looking for.
