Positively bizarre to praise racist far-right theocrats
  • True, but the auth-left is really rabid for authority. Sometimes it's not even very left but it's some "trusted institution" and it's "unamerican" to question it. I say question all power structures. Because if you can't even question them you are in a bad place culturally.

  • Spectrum rule
  • I think that could be possible. If sexuality were multi-dimensional and "gayness" was just a 1-D collapse of a higher dimensional space then you could pick a vector in the higher dimensional space to represent gayness, such that a few points at the extreme happen to have the same dot-product with that vector.

    But then you would be defining gayness around the gymnastics of setting that up instead of something you are actually trying to estimate about people on that spectrum.

  • Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h
  • Right. And if you depend on them for your logic with cloudflare functions you will never be able to migrate to another CDN.

    Never let a vender do anything for you beyond standardized features. That's why a "selling point" if we go with this guy we can do this... never makes sense. Because if option B can't do it also you wouldn't want to do "this", and you should probably implement it in a more old-school way.

    The Overton Window seems to be shifting
  • At least the state of Israel is more readily available to criticize, which as an ancap, I hate it when any government is worshiped. It's weirder when it's not your own. One's own nationalism is a strange phenomenon but at least I understand how it develops.

    I've been hosting movie nights every Saturday and they have been fun. Some of the group decided that doing TV nights would be fun too so we are giving it a go.

    We decided to make tonight pretty British. We are doing a mix of Red Dwarf and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

    7:30 Eastern, here: https://cytu.be/r/matrixhub.

    Feel free to hang out watch and share clips early if you like.

    Also feedback on how to make these better is always appreciated.

    Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?
  • You have infinitely other options. search.brave.com, yandex, bing. And probably a lot of cool ones I don't know about.

    All of them search more accurately your directly requested phrase instead of a blurry interpretation of your sentiment.

  • The future is here
  • It's the rule of modern engineering. You will always be served the worst possible product that can claim to have some utility. If it's not on the edge of being useful someone didn't engineer hard enough.

    Feel free to show up early if you want to hang out and share clips. People do that earliest about an hour before the movie starts on a good day.

    We are watching here: https://cytu.be/r/matrixhub

    We’ll probably watch 2-3 movies and vote on what to watch as we go, but you can help me whittle down the selection here https://strawpoll.com/61gDmW16LZw

    I’ve been doing these every Saturday.

    Seen this countless times
  • Because debian is a vanilla distro that does as little as possible, so it isn't extra work to use it. Do you know what other distro tries to be as vanilla as possible. Arch. So if you just use the install wizard Debian and Arch are equal difficulty. AKA the easiest. Don't buy the Ubuntu marketing hype. Just because someone labels themselves the easiest doesn't mean it's true. Just because another distro is labeled hard doesn't mean it's true.

  • Seen this countless times
  • Arch is not hard... at all. Everyone says it is hard but no one can cite why. There is always the option of using a traditional linux installer wizard and it installs just as easy as any other distro. Then the only difference is you have a different command for your package manager. It runs the same software. I'm tired of hearing that there are meaningful differences between these distros when the only major difference is "command install packagename" vs "different_command install packagename". Woah there. I think this is going to be too complicated for new users.

    The only other major difference is arch ships the configs that the developers recommend as a default while ubuntu tries to be as aggressive with some of the software as they can be. My experience is sometimes this breaks thing (at least did back in the day) depending on updates and your hardware. This leaves you trouble shooting the most low level stuff. I've had to do more high level tech support for myself every year I've run Ubuntu than I have in 6 years of running Arch.

    Maybe Arch users shout Arch because we know it's the easiest distro we've used and we want to save new users the headache that comes from accepting the BS marketing on Ubuntu as real. The more a distro tries to accomplish the more they are going to fail the more it is you who will hold the bag for fixing it. So the distro that does the least is actually the easiest one. If you pick manjaro or artix you get the install wizard and its as easy to install as Ubuntu but with less broken stuff once it is running.

    Next time something breaks in your ubuntu just know that if you were running arch it would have never happened.

  • Endless torment
  • So do they just maintain their initial velocity or would we have a chance to discover the static reference velocity of the universe?

    Also they would still be affected by gravity if they still exist in space. Gravity is not a force that pulls objects together. It is merely the act of going straight in curved space. Either they are in that space and they are going to move along it within the shape of that space or they are not in that space. Though really if they just moved in a straight line with no external forces they are going to be subterranean because a real straight line in our space is down.

    You guys should check out the reddit clone I've been working on

    It's sort of a different concept. Posts and users also have position in addition to age and score. The sorting algorithm gives you complete control over how much to weight each one. It's like if new and hot existed on a continuous spectrum. It's sort of like what Aaron Swartz initially wanted to do with Reddit where what you like would be able to inform what you might like in the future. But in this case you get complete control over how much that matters.

    I'm adding bits and knobs here and there every day. Yesterday I added the ability to have posts that are hidden from the front page. It's probably not a feature people will use every day but it's there if someone wants it and it's things like that I'm working on every day. In a little bit I'm going to add a "post whenever" feature in case someone wants to post a ton of content and have it actually post over time.

    I'd say all and all the project has been a success for what I wanted to do with it and I'm happy with what I've built. The other side of it is trying to build community on the site. For example we do a movie night once a week on Saturdays.

    Oh. Another thing that is different to most reddit clones is that every community exists. Like you don't have to create a community to post to it. Just post to it. Different capitalization maps to the same community.

    You guys should check it out. It would be super awesome if anynone wants to help fill in the more obscure topics.
