funfact: because water itself has weight, it produces gravity, therefore it pulls more water towards itself, therefore more water collects in some parts of the world than other.

for example: most of the extra water that comes from global warmings, collects at the pacific because it has a larger surface, therefore US Eastcoast and Europe see very little change in sealevel, while some pacific islands are already gone.

epistemic status: I remember reading this info a couple years ago, but the best source I can found now is that sentence from wikipedia:

Changing ice masses also affect the distribution of sea water around the globe through gravity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise

I play PEAK with friends and Oxygen Not Included when alone. Also some Dispatch

I’m not asking you to spend all day trying to clean the park but you should at least do your best to not make it worse

that is a useful mindset for those who fear a systemic solution.

the people who would have to organise instead spend their effort on other things, like cleaning up dog shit; Or arguing how much shit you need to clean up, before you are morally allowed to advokate for a systemic solution.

the more the anti-dogshitters are splintered, the easier it is for the pro-dogshitters to keep the status quo

is it still owned by tencent?

because of two bodies can not occupy the same space, the feather and the ball will be in different position when you drop them. And therefor gravitation will pull the earth slightly more toward the ball and slightly less toward the feather.

I like the explanation that devious spirits cannot say this phrase and that’s why it’s used

Evil spirits can not say the same word twice in a row. Foxes can not say “moshi”. With “moshi moshi” you get a 2-for-1 special.

how does it compare to yt-dlp?

Only reason to include 2 full bridge rectifiers

they look like runes.

soft failures add complexity and ambiguity to your system, as it creates many paths and states you have to consider. It’s generally a good idea to keep the exception handling simple, by failing fast and hard.

here is a nice paper, that highlights some exception handling issues in complex systems

why not?

it’s safe to assume there are similar issues in closed source. A big part of the snowden leaks was about how NSA could access lots of data at will. It wouldn’t surprise me if they also could execute code.

Also there is stuxnet. But I am not sure, if there were intentional backdoors, or only some “natural occuring” RCE.

also any beginner-friendly distro should be popular enough for the beginner to find it in the first place.

(big exception: if it came pre-installed on their device)

how far can you get with arch without opening the terminal or the wiki?

Yes, the arch wiki is very good and useful. The issue is, that you need the wiki in the first place. In a user-friendly distro everything would either work OOTB, or it could be done intuitively via GUI.

how far can you get in arch without opening the terminal?

3. Users are finally figuring out that some Linux distros are easy to use

so recommending arch linux to newbies was counter productive all along?

Because megacorps are at least “smart enough” to pretend they aren’t trying to take over the world.

there are enough examples for corps doing evil things. You hear about them less often, because they cover their tracks and the outcry is generally smaller than when governments do similar things.

Whereas governments have a tendency to justify a lot of horrible shit for righteous reasons.

corps justify a lot of horribble shit for financial reasons. Is that better?

who else should be a significant backer for an open source project? google? microsoft?

That’s still not how governments work

It would be nice if it worked like that, but we both know it doesn’t
