Everybody thinks about these events entirely wrong. There are sociological reasons people are violent or otherwise engaging in antisocial behaviour. Once we start giving people a place to live to actually set their lives up instead of just letting folks rot in the street much of this problem will mostly solve itself. Everyone seems to want to downplay the issue, but we don't need to do that because there's real solutions that don't involve state violence.

Either way this problem, even in its genuinely problematic current form and not something I will handwave away on its own, is not that significant compared to the personal and social harm of car centrism. You should still be more worried about dying in a car crash than some violent actor on public transit.

If by "no one" you mean the same people who keep motion smoothing on because they don't notice, yeah. Personally I don't like fake information that balloons filesizes. The artifacts are obvious to me.

I'd put it down to a shit library or pseudorandomness before something happening that's so lucky it functionally should never happen.

Usually the second, which is the most common option, because we know objectively that studios are in fact not "losing" eleventy billion dollars to piracy. If that were true most people would choose the first.

I'm not buying the new Pokémon game. I'll play it on an emulator if it's not too much hassle. I don't have plans to ever buy it, and if it never works on emulation, I will just not play it.

In a different case, I've gone from pirating a bunch of games to buying them because I liked them and wanted the updates. BG3 for example.

HALF THE DAMN COUNTRY? People will believe ANYTHING. God damn.

Of course there is, but the K400 just does its job very well. You can get all kinds of Bluetooth and RF remotes. I have a generic one also meant for HTPCs (Rii brand) and it literally requires line of sight within 3 meters to work at all. The K400 is recommended for a reason.

Your experience is valid but Datura seeds are NOT the same thing as acid and shrooms, yeah? Deliriants and psychedelics are completely different experiences. You are much more likely to have horrifying and terrible trips with deliriants, and you will not even understand what's happening to you isn't real, because categorically deliriants take that ability away from you.

In 2025, even in the 2010s, the Psychonaut Wiki is absolutely invaluable for harm reduction like this.

1. Because I like to. 2. Because it still has the best flexibility for packages. 3. I like using cutting edge releases.

It is also extremely overblown just how "hard" arch is. Either way I know a lot more about my system and how it functions now.

It doesn't happen automatically, you've just gotten lucky with your files. Subtitles can be embedded in the video file.

What the fuck? Yes, as you're having sex with someone it is completely normal and good to ask AT LEAST "would this be OK?" or "can we ..." as you go along. Consent to one thing isn't the same as consent to everything. Having consensual sex with a condom becomes unconsensual if one removes the condom unbeknownst to the other, for example.

You clearly fundamentally don't understand consent.

Do not take what this government says at face value. Palantir has their fingers in it like crazy.

Not requiring a job to be able to live since there's not enough to go around for everyone.

I'm downvoting you not necessarily because I disagree but because this "source" (Facebook post of headline screenshotted with no URL) is horrendous

I don't think the poster means that, I think they are drawing parallels to the flaws of gun anti-regulation to AI. Both arguments are bad is the point

Yes, this. Torrenting music is not necessary. Slsk is a better option 99% of the time. Most of the tags are the automatic ones applied by the streaming service it was ripped from or MusicBrainz. But everyone seems to expect different things from tagging, so if you want every performer tagged and like every genre you're never gonna find that.

Librem 5 is what you're thinking of

Let me say it this way, you propose some convoluted technological way to fuck with someone's car, but you can already just go under and start cutting vital lines. But again, that's extremely rare because most people aren't inclined to doing that kind of harm.

But that would be silly, because the easiest way to kill someone without consequence is to get behind the wheel and run them over. People could also be putting bombs in product boxes and poison in medicine. A coherent society doesn't have these problems.

One joke
