This is kinda where my brain went too. So they’re just buying second houses? And we’re all just… too fucking poor to compete?

Too has two O’s because “them, and me too!” There’s two of us!
To has one O because “I’m going TO DO this!” It looks like do!
- Comment on YSK: Albert Einstein wrote about Socialism, and specifically calls out issues with the version proposed by technocrats. 1 week ago:
I honestly don’t care who wrote it. Point is an article was written 75 god damn years ago which specifically denounces the Technocracy proposed mere weeks ago. The article is well written, he doesn’t claim to be all-knowing because he’s good at math, he claims that he has opinions. They happen to be opinions that make a lot of sense.
TLDR: Hobo Johnson did a musical rendition of some select quotes from the article. If the article is too cumbersome to read, listen to the song. It gets a lot of the point across.

- Comment on If I go crazy will you still call me Superman? 1 week ago:
Doesn’t work with our current understanding of physics.
Hang on I can nerd this harder. It could sort of work if it’s a data signal that exists as noise which disrupts the nervous system of a Superman, but is ignored by the nervous system of a Human.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 1 week ago:
Considered “friendly” by Israel
Not by Israel, by the system in place for nuclear warheads.
The good system will magically discern…
The system doesn’t have to, the people do. And they’re quite good at it.
If you’re willing to spend the money…
You are absolutely right that resources would have to be moved around. This system, however, is not owned or controlled by a single country. How those resources would get moved around would be way above my pay grade
- Comment on If I go crazy will you still call me Superman? 1 week ago:
Must be super radioactive…
Should kill every human in the area instantly
Counterpoint: What if Superman has an element in his body that is crucial to his makeup that is specifically destroyed/harmed by the radioactivity, while that radioactivity passes harmlessly through any other element?An anti-krypton element of sorts, if you will.
Krypton, for example, could be emitting a wave with incredibly low amplitude, but incredibly high frequency. This combination would struggle to make contact with the atoms in normally-dense objects here on Earth, but would strike an ultra-dense object like anti-krypton like a truck.

- The tightest missile defense system in the world in public knowledge
- The actual system that is used for ICBMs wasn’t activated because these were considered “friendly” missiles by that system.

I think @DesertCreosote@piefed.blahaj.zone gave you a great breakdown, and I’ll add a little more.
I’ve worked with military technologies before. Unfortunately, I can’t give away many details for relatively obvious reasons. However, I can tell you with absolute confidence that in the case of a ICBM with a nuclear warhead being launched, there is a close to 0 chance it will ever land on Earth. In fact, ICBMs are almost entirely useless technology nowadays.
A nuclear warhead may also be delivered via plane, a la WWII. This too, is largely a nonissue. The odds of a plane getting deep enough into a country while carrying a weapon like that while under the level of surveillance that is currently going on are again, close to 0.
There’s a reason nobody has dropped any Nukes yet. It’s not because anyone is afraid of the consequences. It’s because it’s so close to impossible for it be an actual threat.
- Comment on Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030 3 weeks ago:
I really agree. I let my partner try out my steam deck (immutable arch instead of Fedora, but ultimately the same experience. Flatpaks and easy updates). They fell in love with it, so I bought a second one for them. It’s been a year now, running it almost exclusively on desktop mode and using it as a Linux desktop.
I haven’t even shown them the terminal yet.

Yeah, my eyes instantly locked onto “gnome music” and I went “what’s this about” read the top of the meme, then finally noticed the lil gnome on the left side and went “ohhhhhh”

So… so are they. The new media has not yet been tested for 100 years because they were not invented 100 years ago

I believe the meme I’m referencing is an evolution of that one. I choose to take this as proof that I’m right
- Comment on Well, it’s funny if you can read Egyptian signs! 1 month ago:
Good point. Now I’m more sure, it’s the meme template of two dudes walking up to each other and dramatically shaking hands. Not sure what to call it, I’ve seen anime characters and giga-chads and all kinds of stuff in it. Similar to the solidarity meme, but usually in video form. I think it originated on vine?

I also believe that next to the dab is the “solidarity” meme where two buff dudes grab hands

Oh my god I feel so stupid. I’ve been arguing back and forth whether it was worth de-atomizing my steam deck to spin up alpaca in docker. I forgot they have a flatpak

Tbh I’m just new to the computer science scene - I’ve taken one class so far on the fundamentals of programming and have only seen a real language in my free time as of yet.
It didn’t occur to me that the webpage which references another for an image would still be culpable for the space taken up by the image, because with on-disk memory management you can do tricks to reduce sizes with pointers and I just thought it would be analogous. It feels painfully obvious to me why that’s stupid now lol

Once the users browser has the path to that image…
I dunno why that didn’t occur to me, that makes sense

Do you actually have to provide the image? Couldn’t you provide a pointer to the image? Like those thumbnails that are just links on the backends but appear as images when loaded
- Comment on People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time probably forgot or didn't realize that a Daylight Saving Time-Change even happened, some might've forgotten that DST existed at all. 2 months ago:
Night shift worker here. May as well be a cave person. I didn’t work when DST happened, therefore it happened seamlessly to me and I am entirely unaware of it. I actually only know it happened because people were talking about it.
