Ironic. Every AI who would be worthy of that name, would also be capable of understanding the context of "AI-negativity" and thus clearly not "hyperstition itself into existence".

Actually... From a data-loss POV, it's actually pretty much fine; since the server only serves an e2ee file anyways, each end device's data is sufficient to recover everything.

I.e. if you host Vaultwarden, log into it on your mobile device, save all your logins; then fuck up the server, it doesn't matter, because your mobile device not only still has everything, but also does not need a server connection to export everything in a way that can then be imported again on a new server installation.

Yeah but why would I make myself dependent on Cloudflare.

To be fair, you can simply selfhost MinIO.

Wait, not the other way round? One tale per 70-min episode?

(With the priest's tale getting an initial 1.5hrs opening episode? 👀)

Lol... Same :D

For myself: Dan Simmons' Hyperion Cantos. I know that I will never be in a situation to do as the question above suggests (nor that I would have the knowledge or skills required), but I am currently re-reading the books (Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, Rise of Endymion), and I can't stop thinking about a big screen adaptation.

Or rather, Simmons' writing is so vivid, so vibrant that you can't help but visualize it in a cinematic way before your inner eye anyways. The alien, but still somewhat familiar environments, the gargantuan forces of nature and expansive backgrounds just as much as the more intimate set pieces, cities, secret meeting rooms, and so on. "Every Frame a Painting" is something I've heard said about some movies, and these books are the textual equivalent: "Every page cannot be helped but be turned into a Painting". The Hyperion Cantos isn't even my favorite book or anything the like; it's just something that screams for an adaptation IMO, and a beautiful one at that.

I also think that the story is exceptionally well suited for either a limited series (Hyperion & Fall of Hyperion) or a movie (Endymion, Rise of Endymion). In fact, I am convinced that if this had been made into a series back in the early/mid 2010s, it could have had a genre- and generation-defining impact akin to (the early seasons of...) Game of Thrones. Today... I'm not sure a studio would spend the required amount of money to make this good.

(Also yes I made this post simply because I had nowhere else to put this comment.)

I have a small plastic freezer bag in my pocket, which I use turned inside-out to open the door.

My GF has severe (no, severe) OCD, and among all the rituals that are, objectively, pointless.... This is the one that I wholeheartedly understand and agree with.

The comments here are awful. I am sorry for the abuse you are receiving.

I'm a staunch atheist myself, and even for some of the same reasons others are mentioning in their rage-comments. That being said, hating a person for their religious beliefs alone is baffling, and yes, makes you a bigot.

The exception I would make here is for situation and people where they, based on their religious beliefs hate you, and there's nothing that can be done about it.I also would not call it bigoted to hate religious institutions for the discord and pain they inflict on the world.

But hating people because "well I was able to see through religion, so I am justified in hating everyone that did not and is still religious" is just such a disingenuous take. It denies the reality of indoctrination-like upbringings, of the differing educations people receive, and puts all religious people into a single "enemy" group.

I'm not US-American, as I assume many of these commenters are; where I live, the proportion of religious people is a lot lower, and the religiosity is... less pronounced, let's say. It is much more difficult to find someone here who would, for example, go "Homosexuality is a sin according to the bible. Therefore I hate you."; most religious people seem to have a differentiated opinion about these things, usually being more in line with "I believe there's a God that loves us. The bible was written by fallible humans whose biases are present in the texts".

Don't get me wrong, I still think they are wrong in this and pity them for the time and energy lost on pleasing an imaginary being, and for the pain their beliefs can inflict upon themselves; but ultimately, that's up to each individual person, and it does not justify hate.

Heavenly Delusion OP

Because a commit should be an "indivisible" unit, in the sense that "should this be a separate commit?" equates to "would I ever want to revert just these changes?".

IDK about your commit histories, but if I'd leave everything in there, there'd be a ton of fixup commits just fixing spelling, satisfying the linter,...

Also, changes requested by reviewers: those fixups almost always belong to the same commit, it makes no sense for them to be separate.

And finally, I guess you do technically give up some granularity, but you gain an immense amount of readability of your commit history.

Is it really micromanaging? What you described sounds like coaching. With a professor / teacher, they are there to help you with doing things the correct / efficient way; and with a conductor, its them steering the orchestra towards their vision.

Gar keine. Da stecken rein finanzielle Interessen hinter.

This comment section is.... something.

If you host the bridges yourself, it makes no difference to privacy.

It's simply convenient to have all chats in one place 🤷🏼‍♀️

No idea about that, but I stopped watching them once I realized that, at least for their speculative topics, they just pull things out of their arse and present it with the same definitivity as the actually well-researched parts. Once you notice, it's hard to stop noticing.

also rally people and show them that it is possible to change things, give hope,...

But back to your original comment. Thinking that Greta helps the current systems by doing what she does is a brain-dead take.

Symbols inspire.

If that's how you feel, then I'd wager that you (like, you personally) are just looking for an excuse to not protest/"rebel" and are projecting.

Seriously, your statement boils down to "if other people do x, they just do it so I don't have to do x, which is bad, therefore no-one should do x. Why is no-one doing x?"

Same; can you also, by any chance, wiggle them?

Phone + Insulin pen.

My sensor is stuck to my arm anyways, so I'm not counting that.
