are these periodic infuxes of bots (first porn, and now pharmaceuticals) a kbin-specific problem, or a wider fediverse issue?

and is there anything we, kbin, or the wider fediverse can do to combat them?

I realise they're probably solely an issue to users like me, who frequently browse all and by newest, because of the relative dearth of content here compared to reddit, so the verdict might so not be no further action is needed. and admittedly, it's not hard to just scroll past their posts.

if you want to ruin electronic equipment, what common household item is best?

this is not actually something I'm planning on doing, I'm just curious.

my first thought is water, but then I considered, wouldn't salt water be better, with its enhanced conductivity? and that got me wondering, what else might work better still?

extra points if it does so without making it obvious what's at fault, or if it could plausibly happen by accident (or spontaneously)

how can someone visualise fourth, or higher dimensions?

can our brains actually learn to comprehend, to envision dimensions beyond the perceptible three? how could you describe higher dimensional shapes in a way that would allow someone to visualise them?

how do you handle learning new things? any tips?

I'm trying to teach myself to use the godot engine to create a game, and god is it hard to concentrate. I don't really know how to begin, even after following the tutorial, and I'm second guessing myself constantly about what step I should take to make progress or even broaden my knowledge and understanding, and it's a constant battle to resist just starting up some game or other, to do anything except actually work on this.

are there any weapons you think work particularly well with garuda's passive/bleed buff?

the one I've found best for solo play is the kuva hind. large magazine size and relative dominance of Slash damage + high status and high (enough) crit chance means no need to burn a slot on hunter munitions, and taking innate toxin damage means using primed cryo gives viral with no need for a second mod.

this allows for a very strong anti-grineer weapon, which turns into am absolute murder machine when I encounter a tough target that justifies using Garuda's #4. against lvl 180 SP exo gokstad officers it only takes a couple of shots to inflict a bleed effect strong enough to kill them.

honourable mention is kuva quartakk, which is even more powerful when aimed but feels just a little clunky in its hip fire auto mode, not to mention not benefiting from galvanised scope while not zoomed.

Is there any more ethical solution to our current circumstances than "murder all billionaires"?

Not that I'm particularly against that - quite the opposite, in fact. But I'm wondering if anyone sees, or had seen a path to social and climate recovery/progress that could occur without first eradicating the class of people who most enjoy the present status quo.

What programming language would be the best to learn to develop a game from scratch?

I have very limited background in programming. I quite want to develop the game myself, or with only minimal help. Is there one language that is better than others for game development, or is more versatile?

How do i judge if something is above my pay grade? At what point should i simply tell my boss, you aren't paying me to do this?

The place i work in doesn't have an actual onsite manager, it's just me and my coworker. He's more physically capable, but computers are a foreign language to him; i can handle the physical work, but I'm slower than he is, but I'm much much better with computers.

Because of this it feels like I've become the DeFacto manager, or at least the person who gets lumped with the jobs that a manager or administrator would typically be assigned. Ì haven't checked yet if my contact explicitly states that these are amongst my duties, but i would guess not, and my job title "records management specialist" is a bit ambiguous.

Recently I'm being asked to do logistical work that i feel is above what could really be expected of someone in a ground-level, hands on position. But i can't say with certainty that it's not stuff that's reasonable to expect of someone in my position, and that it's not just that i don't want to do it.
