pandacoder,

The genocide argument is a really bad one. Yes the Biden administration is culpable. The Trump administration would pump more money into it and start parading around the genocide like it’s a good thing.

There’s voting for the side who might get tired of the public opposition and stop funding that shit, or letting the genocidal wannabe dictator win.

pandacoder,

No I’m thinking in terms of we cannot revive the dead so let’s not put the genocidal wannabe dictator in power for 4 years. I clearly can’t stop what’s currently happening but I’m sure as hell not going to vote in a way that results in more people dying more quickly.

You mistake accepting genocide with trying to prevent a worse genocide.

pandacoder,

And if you are from a country that has gendered surnames, you live in Germany, and are trans?

pandacoder,

The number would be higher too, I doubt I was the only one who stopped playing months ago when Vanguard was supposedly going to be implemented imminently.

pandacoder,

Vanguard was announced and was supposed to be added to League imminently a while ago. I stopped playing months ago as a result. I can hardly imagine that I am the only one, so the number seems cherry picked for convenience.

I’d like to know what the average daily player count on Linux was prior to 2024, I suspect it’s higher than 800.

That said, I get the trade-off. I won’t support that trade-off though because I will never agree with an anticheat implemented like Vanguard is.

pandacoder,

I mean I’m not really picking to not play anymore because I don’t want to. They said they were going to turn it on like two months ago and I believed them. I wasn’t about to risk my account on the odd chance my crapple device is good enough to play it.

pandacoder,

In Spanish KnY is “Guardianes de la Noche” (Guardians of the Night) and I’ve never heard a single person say that it was good. Most people I know just call it Kimetsu.

I also personally use SnK, AoT means “ahead of time” for me. For so long I was confused when people expected me to know AoT as Attack on Titan.

That said it really depends on the title. Some titles suck in other languages, some don’t. I mostly pick which to use on length, how stupid the translation sounds, and if the translation is confusing for me.

pandacoder,

I watched Apocalypto for a school paper at age 15 (from a list of options given to me), and honestly I think some softcore porn would have been better. Some rated R stuff is fine for a kid to watch, Apocalypto definitely wasn’t.

Also that same year I researched and did presentations on Chinese history (was a prehistorical to maybe a couple hundred years ago timeline) and at least in my research I covered things like the foot tying thing (to make feet smaller) and that didn’t prepare me for the scene in Marco Polo (I think on Netflix) where that happened (and I didn’t finish the episode or continue the series because it’s just too fucked up).

Porn can be fucked up, some porn is definitely NSFL, but there are a lot of things that are so much worse than the average porn site.

I wish they actually tried to “protect the children” but the politicians are very clearly not.

pandacoder,

It sounds about as out of touch as their neurons.

Sucks that the idiots forcing these stupid ideas get buckets of money though.

pandacoder,

The reflection is only bidirectional if you can see the other person’s eyes.

It’s like if someone is in a bathroom stall. You could see the stall is occupied by seeing their feet stick below the wall of the stall, but they cannot necessarily see any part of you since their eyes are not where their feet are.

Same principle applies to reflections, where maybe the body part that you can see is just the top of the head, and since the person isn’t tall enough they can’t see that you can see them.

pandacoder,

You can see other people in a reflection without them being able to see you.

It is not possible to see someone else’s eyes (except from the side, so it’s only seeing their eyes in profile) in a reflection without them being able to see you too.

It’s literally not possible via reflection, as everything is equal and opposite. If light can go from their eyes to yours, it’s also possible to go the opposite direction.

This is what everyone has been saying but instead of thinking through everything clearly, you resorted to bullying.

The only way to accomplish this one-way vision is by adding something that is not reflection to the system (like a one-way window), but that’s breaking the premise under which everyone else has been commenting in good faith.

pandacoder,

No bedframe, no nightstand, only one monitor and it’s tiny as hell

This looks like a prison, get me out

pandacoder,

So if the tip is sticking out for airflow, how does it handle a flash flood?

pandacoder,

I missed that part in the article, I should have just searched for the word flood, woops

pandacoder,

Spacewar is the app ID for testing Steamworks integration without having an app ID yet.

pandacoder,

That checks out. Exactly what I’d expect from a devout Christian.

You should be able to ask "I want a CIS mate" in a dating app without being shamed.

There’s this rising narrative going around that if you ask specifically for a CIS partner, you’re a transphobe. That could be true for some people but it’s not fundamentally related to bigotry. Moreover, this narrative, the “if you only want a CIS mate then that is prejudice” is trampling on one of the most important...

pandacoder,

Not looking for a partner anymore anyway, but the first one is my only reason. If we got to a point medically/scientifically where bio kids were possible then that sole reason would go away.

I’m fine ending up with no kids because I and/or my partner are infertile and we don’t know yet, but I’m not fine starting a relationship wanting something that the other person knows I can’t have with them and not telling me until later.

Honestly I think it would be helpful if the dating apps just had some hidden questions like “are you interested in having kids?” and if yes also asked “do you want biological kids?” and if you answer them your potential matches are automatically filtered down. I have two rationales for this, 1. because it frees up space in bio and keeps your preferences semi-private, and 2. it avoids potentially awkward conversations or other potentially awkward public judgemental. (I’m guessing there aren’t already questions like this.)

pandacoder,

Not providing this anecdote as a rebuttal, just as food for thought since I’ve barely seen anyone mention this.

I have put a lot of thought into my sexuality/identity, but regardless of all of those thoughts my articulation will boil down to:

I want bio kids, until we can modify the genetic material of eggs/sperm so that two people of the same biological gender can have a biological child, my only option is someone with the opposite reproductive organs.

It doesn’t matter how much I am attracted to someone, I won’t roll loaded dice on having kids. If my partner and I discovered when we finally try to have kids that one or both of us is sterile, then so be it — but I’d like the dice we roll to not have a known outcome ahead of time.

pandacoder,

Google still controls the source, and so they have influence over the rest.

It’s like Ungoogled Chromium. Sure, it’s open source. Sure, if might have Google crap removed. Google still calls the shots on the direction of the browser.

Same still meaningfully applies to Chromium-based browsers.

pandacoder,

Why is a Canadian actor and citizen in one of the photos for a US countdown…?

(Yes I’m referring to Keanu.)

pandacoder,

Unless it’s a Java Minecraft server which I believe exclusively uses TCP still.

pandacoder,

They’re not actually advocating for mob rule, mob rule is only acceptable if it’s the mob rule that accomplishes what they want.

pandacoder,

Well the people who were responsible for calling it in were the people who publicly invited the riot. Would be counterintuitive for Trump & Cronies to put down his own rebellion.

pandacoder,

Yes.

A bunch of states including NC are just blocking porn to protect the children but it’s literally the laziest solution with some of the smallest impact.

Twitch, Discord, and Roblox are far more accessible and arguably more dangerous in terms of short term consequences than porn because they are primarily social interaction platforms.

I’ve never seen Rotten or Liveleaks (at first I thought you meant Rotten Tomatoes that’s how unaware I am), but they could probably use similar regulation.

It’s not even that I think porn regulation is inherently bad, but the implementation is garbage and the claim to protect the children is extremely weak.

Social content sites are dangerous because of the opportunity for predators to easily encounter minors (especially age restriction breaking ones under 13), and violent content sites are, well, violent? They should be a higher priority but they evidently aren’t.

pandacoder,

As much as I would like to believe that, these politicians have more than demonstrated their intentions and modus operandi. They need to be voted out and replaced with someone who will actually try to do the right thing even if it’s not such an easy talking point come reelection time.
