I’m going to whip out my 12 hour Oblivion retrospective that I watched in one sitting as evidence to the contrary to support his point: This video is padding, it’s very slow and it doesn’t really get to that many points.
It is OK to criticize media, even if you enjoyed it. This video seems to be long-form for the sake of being long-form, not because it has a lot of ground to cover. I don’t particularly care, it mostly ran in the background, but it’s a legitimate criticism.
I’ve also personally noticed that I tend to click off 10-minute videos in 2 minutes if they don’t get to a point or say something interesting, because the trend is that it’s pushing for time to keep you engaged to show you more ads and it’s a huge waste of my time. Whatever that video eventually gets around to saying could’ve been a twitter post.
soma.fm has several stations that are really just rhythmic ambient noise. I think it works great when I need my brain to enter a zen mode so I can work despite my ADHD. If I listen to good music I like, I’ll keep getting distracted and if I listen to nothing at all then I can hear every noise my neighbors make and it distracts me similarly.
I slap myself every morning because the AN225’s last flight was literally from my backyard airport to Ukraine and I didn’t go see it because “it was a little chilly”.
Jeg nåede aldrig at få min konto, den blev spærret efter review i account-creation processen. Jeg har på mistanke at det er min IP de går efter. De køre vel nye kontoer igennem alle deres filtre og hvis de ser det mindste så’ det ud. Jeg har nogle få services fra min IP og det er jo unormalt, så jeg må være en bot.
Min ven sagde så vel at hvis man er over 25 og ikke har en facebook konto, så kan man da kun være en bot. Det er måske der den ligger…
I think the point is that root is a universal user found on all linux systems where as users have all kinds of names. It narrows down the variables to brute-force, so simply removing the ability to use it means they have to guess a username and a password.
Until proper alternatives are fully operational, EVs are not the worst thing.
Considering that the effects of, causes of and solution to climate change has been known and attainable since the 40s, personal electric car ownership is not so much moving us in the direction of the ultimate, final end-goal as they are simply saving the car industry.
Apparently I have to clarify that the ultimate, final end-goal of which I speak is actually just getting rid of cars. We could do this today, or at least severely limit its use by making it unnecessary for the common-person, instead of transitioning to another type of car which will kick the proverbial can down the road and make the problem even harder to deal with later because we’re still tearing up our cities to build parking lots at the same pace and increasing the distance between everything, electric or not.
If I can use a product of the car industry that doesn’t poison the people around me … why shouldn’t I?
Because it’s still the car industry, which is now, instead of lobbying for oil wars, employing child slaves in disadvantaged countries to work in toxic mines. Your massive lithium battery is not free of guilt, or even just less guilty than oil, and no tech-bro battery innovations are coming to save us.
… and makes some of those people think a bit more about climate issues … why shouldn’t I?
I don’t think most people care or give a second thought to the climate when they see a car accelerate quietly, rather they think something along the lines of Wow, that almost hit me! I nearly died! Anyway…
… while doing the same journeys I did with an ICE, , why shouldn’t I?
Because the point is that you shouldn’t be doing those journeys. You shouldn’t have to have the least efficient form of personal transportation to be a functional member of society. If you need something, ideally you should just put on your shoes and go get the thing on your legs or bike or take a bus, tram or train. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15-minute_city
I don’t like the analogy, but yes I would actually. There are books I simply don’t get to read because paperbacks are not an option for me and I can’t legally or illegally acquire them without DRM. I have accepted this and choose to read something else. I will not in a million years run out of books to read.
We are not arguing you should leave your fucking car you PUTZ, we are telling you that it’s not a hostage situation. I understand, I really do. It sucks so much to have to wait 10 minutes for once in your busy life, but to pretend that being held up is a hostage situation is fucking absurd.
I’m actually conflicted; I have a lot more trouble with torx at work than I do alan, but phillips are universally a problem. The torx keys don’t stick in the hole and can’t be tilted at odd angles where as alan keys with a ball head can, and do stick in the hole to some degree which lets me free-spin it if I have clearance. I’ve ruined a lot more torx from over-torgue than I have alan keys. I would take torx over alan keys if it meant I never had to see a phillips again, though
