They did acknowledge and fix it.

The world is a collection of millions of bubbles

Polluting is a bit different from taking resources. The industry should be more regulated, which would maybe convert the damage made to the environment into an increased price of beef.

Its cheap if you forget that part of the price is the habitability of the planet.

And beef isnt so cheap around here, i guess it depends on where you live.

Ikr, public transportation just gets worse and worse around here. Metro barely covers 10% of the city and is expensive, buses are incredibly unreliable. I still manage to get around without a car, but its so frustrating.

I want to, but its a desire, its not rational.

If i got it right, flatpacks gather all of the dependencies of the package and bundles them with tha package. Maybe those extra 290mb were from dependencies that you already had installed but that flatpak wanted to install another copy.

Nice mental gymnastics, but if 5 is so good, how come five five’s is so bad? Who cares about the pentagon? The broad use of 5 everywhere just shows how its a banal number, how worthless it is. Now 25 is reserved for much greater things, any toddler knows it shouldnt be overused.

I think pirating scientific papers is a good thing all around. The research isnt funded by the selling of access to those papers, much on the contrary.

As a mathematician i can sure you that 5, as you have assumed, is indeed less than 25.

Its the difference between maximum gayness and maximal gayness. Maximum gayness is being more gay, or at least as gay, as everybody else; while maximal gayness is not being less gay than anybody else (just as you put it). Two people with maximal gayness can have incomparable gaynessess, and thats the key thing about partial orderings, this possibility of incomparability. there could be many maximally gay people. they wouldnt be equally gay, but incomparably gay.

ohh, thats why i got all these downvotes. youre right, i was trying to deny the original claim that trees would ruin any infrastructure we build around them. so, yes, was just saying that some infrastructure can be made compatible with trees, while most implemented infra is not.

trees dont ruin ANY human infrastructure. But the usual urban infrastructure isnt well thought out enough to exist around trees. But smarter urbanism is possible and in fact does exist.

seems to me like AAA games always were about demonstrating new game technologies, showcasing a new graphics engine or something, not about entertaining/fun games. Like that Crysis franchise from around 2010, everyone wanted to have a pc that could play crysis, but nobody actually wanted to play that game.

obviously. you probably misread me.

encrypting matrix chats just protects one step of the process, your data may be leaking in various other ways.

the matrix room may be public, but when you choose someone to talk to via dm, at that point encryption matters. Of course, you shouldnt really trust that random person from the matrix room, but it being an encrypted chat reduces the risk somewhat.

i do backups of my home folder with Vorta, tha uses borg in the backend. I never tried restic, but borg is the first incremental backup utility i tried that doesnt increase the backup size when i move or rename a file. I was using backintime before to backup 500gb on a 750gb drive and if I moved 300gb to a different folder, it would try to copy those 300gb again onto the backup drive and fail for lack of storage, while borg handles it beautifully.

as an offsite solution, i use syncthing to mirror my files to a pc at my fathers house that is turned on just once in a while to save power and disc longevity.

youre right, i take it back
