I think most people absorb a puritan idea of “removed” from society. Even like liberals, queer people, and sex nerds (people into kink) will have a version of this. For the right, it’s usually a very misogynistic idea about how female sexuality and anything gay is evil. And this is usually what makes conservatives want to quit porn, though sometimes they won’t admit it and they’ll talk about like their essence or whatever.

So like you don’t need to quite porn for the right reasons, you can just do it. But maybe spend some time thinking why you want to do it, and if it’s because of some idea of removed or shame then you should also think about it you really want to hold those ideas, because they will ultimately make you just as miserable as the porn did.

The headline and language in this article is so weird. Do real people actually have all like this?

Biden dropped out. You don’t have to keep doing this.

Maybe you could just try a different Transmission docker image or build your own? Sounds like some weird instability in that particular version.

Idk hopefully this is a good thing, but it’s crazy that they’re reviewing a review at this point. The whole point of the Cass Review was to provide a justification for banning trans care, but everyone has to play these games and pretend likes it’s actual science.

idk if being annoying is against the rules of your instance but it def should be

What do you mean by a file being displaced? Like do you want it to be unreadable, or unmodified, or just not deleted?

It’s not really possible to have a level of protection that would require more than sudo because with root access you bypass anything else.

You could put the files on an encrypted volume that uses a special password when it is mounted. Or you could use the chattr command to set special ext4 attributes that would make it unmodifiable (but could be removed with sudo). Or just record the file’s hash, and that way you know it hasn’t been modified later.

It seems like that port needs to be accessible from the public Internet. Your local computer probably has at least one more firewall between it and the Internet, running on your router. You need to also forward the port on your router, which is what it says in the second half of the guide.

The link is broken. It tries to save the page instead of showing an already saved version.

Also wondering about this. No one has package Godot 4 with dotnet support for my distribution yet and I’m wondering if that’s a sign of the overall state of C# support or just bad luck.

This seems like a plausible guy. He’s really into talking about “traditional means of transportation” and “Western urban design”.

This is just classic internet “wisdom”. He definitely saw it on Reddit or something.

I’ve been using Wayland for 5 years. There were a few bugs in the beggining, but now it works great. These threads are such a waste of time.

I have over 100 confirms X11 developments

That’s great dude. Why don’t you go maintain it then, apparently nobody else wants to: https://www.phoronix.com/news/RHEL10-Removing-X.Org

Wayland took too long

Look up how long btrfs has been in development, or at audio subsystem churn. These things take time, because it’s mostly volunteers working on them.

Systemic complexity has doubled in the last two years

What does this even mean?

Mir was better

It turns out the Canonical dumping random stuff over the wall is not the same as creating a legitimate open source community around a project.

Unfixable amount of race conditions

As if there’s never been a synchronization bug in X… But also System76 and others are writing Wayland compositors on Rust anyway.

I mean xwayland is the best supported X implementation today, and will only get better. You’re not ditching everything when you maintain backwards compatibility.

I think that it’s a great project, and I hope it succeeds. My sense is that there is more momentum around Nix, so for a lot of uses it just makes more sense.

Guix and Nix both have the same issue imo, which is using a loosely typed language with an odd syntax. I feel like something both strongly typed and with a more common syntax would be easier to edit and faster to evaluate.

I have some respect for someone who consistently has takes that are bad but also highly original. I wonder what Paglia thought about ending of the LOTR movies.

According to the Twitter thread, they literally hired some ex-Pixar animators to create the avatars. The creator claims that this is to avoid the uncanny valley lol

The fact that our planet’s resources are being used to create this is disgusting.

But, I was thinking, if you wanted to make one of these that was actually good and compelling the problem is that they have no life outside of you. Like if you’re talking to a real person, she might tell you about her day, or share a memory, or tell you about something specific she likes. None of that would happen here, because the thing only gains new context when you interact with it. All of the back stories are very generic.

You need some sort of virtual world where the sexy chatbots interact with each other or have “experiences”. Then when you talk to it there will be new things for it to talk about. Which means that maybe your cyber waifu leaves you for another cyber waifu.

Huh, do you have any cultures in mind?

Most people hate this. It’s just impossible for the average person to do anything about it because very few politicians support changing the current system. In the 2020 election for instance there were like 2 dem candidates and 0 Republican candidates who wanted a public option for health insurance. Nationalizing the whole thing, NHS style, is completely off the table.
