Isnt security mostly achieved by heavy obscurity? A password secures because other people dont know what it is, it is obscured.
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 6 days ago:
It isnt optimized. Its gibberish written just to give some weight to the headline. People do bad jobs at science popularization too.
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 6 days ago:
There are a bunch of things to research on fusion. Maybe they just thought this specific thing was out of reach, but were still trying to do other things.
Like the PvsNP computer science problem. Most computer scientists believe its impossible to make a polynomial algorithm that solves the traveling salesman problem, so most dont even try. But we dont know for certain that its actually impossible.
- Comment on Anon tries to save the internet in 2026 6 days ago:
Having communication tools that avoid big tech is resistance. It doesnt require doomsday to be useful. Tech companies are luring people into giving away too much data by reducing our available options. Creating alternatives is resistance to that movement.
Just recently i was looking to buy a second hand fridge and realised that most people advertise those in facebook pages. I even tried to recreate an account after years of not going there. But it asked me to scan my face… just to create a fucking account to view those fridge posts… Since i dont want that, im locked out of that market…

- Comment on I feel like half the neighbourhood is on fire and everyone is carrying on like everything is normal 2 weeks ago:
Ah i see. Well i know im not going to the us anytime soon either. Simply having my phone searched and messed with at the border is already a big turn off. I have family members there that are still a valid reason to visit, but i agree that going to something like disneyland would be support for this degenerate state.

People dont know what to do about it. Its as simple as that. They dont see any available action that they see any chance of being fruitful… plus they are too busy thinking about how theyre going to pay their next bills.
- Comment on YSK that you can/should budget yearly for long term purchases 3 weeks ago:
It helps decide how much to actually save, and how much you can spend immediatly.
- Comment on YSK that you can/should budget yearly for long term purchases 3 weeks ago:
Even if you have savings its useful to do this sort of thing. It helps get a better idea of how much you can spend on these big thigs and still save money at the rate you want.
- Comment on should I go back to my old job now that several people, some of them more knowledgeable than me have told me they don't understand my decision to quit it? 5 weeks ago:
My point was just that if most people value A over B, while you value B more, people will say youre stupid when they see you getting B insteas of A all the time.

People fail to consider that different people have different sets of values.
- Comment on Day 509 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
You have to shield yourself from those red shells. When youre in a good position, you get the banana peels more often, if you press and hold the button that throws the item, you keep the peel behind you and can use it as a shield against shells.

I dont know what these jobs are like. If you have less stress in your current job, thats an important point, but maybe not a decisive factor… Have you asked those “smarter” people why they think thats a bad decision?
It may be that people are bothered by seeing someone take decisions differently than they do, they might feel their own decisions being implicitly questioned, so they might be reacting in a way that reaffirms their own values.
If you ask them to express what is stupid about you decision you may get a better feeling for if they actually have a point or if theyre just reacting badly out of their personal insecurities or smthing.

Gluttony would be a better word.
Obesity is something else. People rarely actually want to be obese, but who is actually bothered by having too much money? I guess that makes the wording sound weird to me.

Calling that financial obesity is so weird.

Being a predator is not a property, its a relation. X is a predator of Y… but not of Z, and is a prey of V and not of W.

The 2.0 update was made into a new package in fdroid, so that you paid close attention to the upgrade, as it could maybe break things.
- Comment on YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, diplomats, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 1 month ago:
but the average people have been misled and lied to and been brainwashed for so long, they need to be forcibly broken out of that bubble. And the only way to force that is through a revolution, and authoritarian enforcement of the socioeconomic system.
That word “only” seems too pessimistic and unjustified, and your point relies too heavily on it.

Life is already unpredictable. We can take some safety measures, but we cant pretend that not doing this particular thing is going to keep our history under control. We dont have anything under control.

Ohh so its purpose is to push dirt to the corners so you clean it up later? Doesnt seem that bad. My robot is one of those with dumb spining brushes and minuscule dirt compartment.
