- Comment on Vernon Dursley, uncle of Harry Potter is just a normal bloke that loves his wife and gets roped into a paramilitary war for it. 5 days ago:
Someone with a gun can just murder you outright with you having no way of defending against it. It doesn’t make guns something that’s beyond understanding. Same with anything that can damage another person.
Why would they need to keep secrecy and who exactly is going to get them into psych? People can deal with a child, and magic in harry potter universe is reversible and not permanent for the most part. There are multiple new families with magical children every year and they don’t recieve any guidance as well, yet they manage somehow without being assholes for the most part.

What’s there to understand? It’s not like magic or people with magic are from call of cthulchu rpg and damage sanity from interaction, they are as normal as you can get I don’t think you can make magic any more boring and mundane then it is in Harry Potter.
I mean, yeah, your points are valid as long as you squint hard enough and disregard some cartoonisly evil shit.

There is a extremely small chance that isolated groups of people numbering few hundreds are doing fine. At best they barely survive and not actively dying out, it’s pretty much impossible to do fine with population like this.

Who knows, there is small chance that they will continue to live like they do now. Realistically they are very limited in numbers, and resource poor, and essentially locked inside their current territories, so one small scale tragedy away from extinction.

I have bambu printer they are good, but my printer stopped printing until I’ve allowed it to phone home for a bit, this repeated twice already.

Looks great! You probably can get even better results with manually created supports.

Rrright, if israelis had a shot at khamenei they would have killed him. Just posturing from tr*mp to look less weak for not being informed of big events two times in a row.

- Comment on Bambu Lab Controversy Deepens: Firmware Update Sparks Backlash 5 weeks ago:
There is also a problem of printers calling home regularly with unknown payload. Add to it that these devices have a camera it’s not a good look. Anecdotally mine stopped working in “lan-mode” after two or three weeks before it was allowed to connect and phone home again.

Great way to die from intoxication as well!
- Comment on Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage? 5 weeks ago:
Alcohol is something that for a very long time was associated with civilisation itself, it was and is very important. It’s just embedded into most societies of course people don’t consider it drug.

Spinning down and up actually kills drives more than constant non-stop work, I have a setup close to yours, it just seeds torrents (linux isos ofc.) 24/7.

That’s not a terminology that most people understand, and would only confuse everyone more, matey. 🏴☠️
- Comment on I don't like the Linux clipboard situation 5 weeks ago:
Ability to paste text from last n copies is also built-in in every clipboard manager, for kde klipper history is mapped to win+v, for others I don’t know.
Ability to sync clipboard over ssh that will support other applications is a neat thing to have, true.
- Comment on First server: Buying hardware in a developing country 5 weeks ago:
Your decision, we have import tax as well starting from 150 euros or something, I’ve just always written 100 or less. With used hw you often don’t get warranty beyound week or 10 days anyway.
- Comment on I don't like the Linux clipboard situation 5 weeks ago:
I love that there is multiple clipboards, Primary is one of the best things ever. It’s super useful, I often select text in browser while reading and don’t need it in my clipboard, but when there is something interesting copied text is just one click away. Actually I would love a configurable number of clipboards, 5 would be great.
As foryour frustration you can use clipboard manager (iirc klipper on kde syncs them by default but you can disable or enable primary there).
- Comment on First server: Buying hardware in a developing country 5 weeks ago:
Building on a nonserver hw is a good idea. You could look things up at aliexpress, they almost always have free shipping. Alternatively you can buy stuff in US/EU for cheap and use some service for parcel delivery from there idk, often they deliver super cheap (like us$10-20 for something that would be two timesmore expensive locally)

I’ve just stated that it’s a possibility, and at worst. These things really happen, if rarely, point was it’s better not to force an issue if other party is unwilling.

First, religion is not a race. Second, I’m from place where muslims (very secular ones at it) are significant minority. Third, I’ve been in the situation outlined, and heard of similar from people in this situation.
Also there were at least two religiously minded honor killings that I know of one involved tatar (muslim) family, another cyhan (christian) family.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
You actually don’t get that they are muslim, at best they won’t be happy that she is seeing someone and that someone isn’t muslim. At worst this can go into honor killing territory. In general it’s best not to be involved.

You probably can find some people on old school windows forums, also different warez/piracy forums. You can also try to show off on hackernews/lobsters, sometimes people there just love small projects like yours.
- Comment on Month-long awareness celebrations 1 month ago:
With exception of religious celebrations like easter or ramadan, I don’t think there are any long term dedicated celebrations. At least here in my part of eastern europe.

Looks great, mounts and fights are pretty. Sadly there is 0 chances that it won’t be a korean style mmo with insane monetisation.
