Neat post, OP! I think I missed how is Shanon entropy relevant to the calculation. Is it relevant, or was it just a neat extra to add?

Tangential note: NIST has collaborated with the NSA, while denying said collaboration. Even currently, there’s suspicions about them collaborating with NSA to chose a non-safe post-quantum E2EE algorithm.

Fran Bow . It’s a psychological terror click adventure, available on both Mobile and PC. On mobile I think it has 5 different chapters, and 0 transactions other than the buying price. Really recommend it!

I’ve been very happy with my Manjaro install on AMD GPU, everything worked out of the box on fist try install without any weird step. I would say you could jump straight to Arch/Arch-based, but first research about your GPU compatibility.

(I’m aware of how Manjaro is perceived and its downsides, please avoid comments suggesting me to switch).

Must admit, that’s me

Which movie is this?

No. If you don’t want to be tracked and you are using a VPN, fingerprinting is a problem as well. Privacy is not concern just for drug dealers.

Tangent note: I think browser fingerprinting is only a source of concern if you use VPN. Otherwise, your IP is already a good enough identifier, and quite likely doesn’t rotate often enough. Please someone correct me if I’m wrong.

I still disagree. Majority of topical subreddits and people are nowhere near as obnoxious. Although, granted, Reddit is a bad place to set bars on quality of discussion.

Agree, but there’s a big chunk of atheist that like jerking each other off, vocally telling themselves how superior and smart they are. That’s the point being made

Spotify has patents on underestimating your emotional state based on the music you listen to. One can guess they sell such data. A hard pass for me.

Self-hosting Jellifyn/Navidrome has been really fun (but I’m aware it is not something everybody wants/can do).

Even more, I think it’s basically the only way. Lichess app got removed from vanilla F-Droid because of that.

Completely agree with you on the first part. My point is that:

• Long term storage in a non-trivial thing to do, from a technical, social and ecological POV. However, it can be build, as shown in the linked documentary.
• Not going nuclear has disadvantages (that IMO out number the advantages).
• Going nuclear also has disadvantages. Thus, the view of experts on the field has a big importance of the topic. In this matter, the consensus I most commonly find in the physicists community is that nuclear is a energy source that should replace carbon/coal, but needs to be complemented with solar/wind/water/thermal, not just disregarded.

I would like to add that I did not try to call you dumb, I’m sorry if that’s the way it ended up sounding like. The dumb part was directed to the people in charge of the decisions, not you.

This is an interesting documentary about the topic: Into eternity. The documentary has a depressing and ephemeral feeling, but I find it extremely amusing that we are taking steps to protect people that will live thousands of years from now.

Taking decisions like “nuclear or not nuclear”, “how to dispose the waste”, etc. is hard, but doing so ignoring the people that invest their whole life studying the topics is just dumb.

Being a number nerd, I can see the appeal for something like this (extremely bad quality of data aside), or at least I do frequently visit OpenBenchmarkin.org (similar concept than UserBenchmark, but open source).

I also know 1 person who is obsseded with constantly buying/selling parts for their PC, and for whatever reason still uses UB after I told them how shit it is.

My guess is that this will also resonate with some Intel fanboys.

All of this is more of an exception to the rule, but they need just a few bunch of people subscribing to generate more profit than before.

I think it depends. In my case, I write faster in LaTeX as the formatting is done a lot quicker. Just need to find one template I’ve already used and is aproppiate for the ocassion.

Although being able to take a screenshot and paste it is a huge bonus and time saver in LibreOffice when taking notes in real time.

Becase it’s false and the math severely wrong.

Disagree on the semantics. Physical realities are concepts as well. “Energy”, despite being an extremely useful physical measurement, is an abstract concept. “Physical realities” and “concepts” are not mutually exclusive nor antonymous words.

In this case, the Aries/vernal point is a concept used to define coordinate systems using physical measures from Earth.
