- Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11 20 hours ago:
It’s not even about profits, they have all the money and leverage in the world, that’s the point of a fiat state mandated and backed currency. It’s about control and censorship and brainwashing. They want to make sure you only have a few corporate controlled choices. They want to make sure your children are being brainwashed by their algorithms and the influencers they support with their ad revenue.
- Comment on As a man, the easiest way to get someone to care about my feelings would be to transition to female. 5 days ago:
The reality is, people will treat you ao much worse as a trans person. They will just straight up ignore you and pretend like you dont exist. I feel like people are getting dumber by the year. Im not sure why you would believe something like this. I feel like anyone from the 90s or early 2000s would have just understood this easily. People do not listen to cis womens feelings either. The world doesnt care about anyones feelings and feelings are usually a way that people try to get you to feel sorry for them. In fact, i almost know this is the case when it comes to someone like you. The reason is sinply because you are too dull to realize that people are not nice to trans people outside of their own social circle, and even then we are often quite shitty to each other. Real feelings are spontanous. Something that happens after a break up or when you lose a job or a friend. Having feelings all the time to me just seems like you want people to take care of you and drag you through life. You want attention. It probably means you refuse to examine yourself and figure out what is actually wrong with you. People only care about your feelings when its valid, not when you are being a piece of shit. Nobody is going to force a girl to date you for example. Nobody is going to feed you. Nobody is going to make you remember to buy your mother or friends a present for their birthday. These are things you have to do. You have to work on your looks, find a job, auite bad habbits, respect people. You cant get mad at someone because they dont want to be your friend, you can’t be mad at a girl because she doesn’t like you. These are not valid feelings. These are you being a manchild.

Weird how some people are so obsessed with telling other people how to make their art. Can you not even watch a show without feeling like your white hetronormative maleness is being challenged?
- Comment on Truck go 💥🚚 1 week ago:
The tricks are very exspensive, ones like in this pic are in the millions. Stuff in this range of price is generally repaired for a long time and kept in service for decades. There isnt much on the truck that cannot be replaced. They are also suprisingly strong. This one is probably rated to carry about 80 tons, which means the truck probably weighs atleast as much. So you are looking at 160k ibs before being loaded and over a quarter million pounds ehen loaded. Every part of that truck has to exceed the shock forces of that at several gs. Thats why replacing them is more of a long term process. We have a bunch of 40 ton and some heavier rock trucks. We replace them about every 10-20 years. These trucks are more like mining trucks. They usually work in big mines since you have to take the truck apart to transport them on highways or move them on rail.
Many lieces if equipment half this size will have engine replacments, and other magornsystems in its lifetime. Sometimes axles, transmissions, even cabs and stuff. Companies usually keep some as spares when they get severly damaged to use as parts.
- Comment on Truck go 💥🚚 1 week ago:
Some people just arent cut out for certain jobs. There is no good reason to ever flip that truck that way. Where i work at the only thing that will really get you fired on the spot is doing something really dumb like this, or putting someone else in an unsafe position. Also a few hundred grand is the low end. If the driver is really dumb and xoesnt cut the engine off as soon as he gets done rolling, he will ruin the entire engine which will cost close to a million just for the engine alone.
- Comment on Truck go 💥🚚 1 week ago:
Definitly not. They will probably dig under one side or just get a couple of big excvators and chains. I had to flip a few of these, not as big as this one, but ones about half the size.
- Comment on Truck go 💥🚚 1 week ago:
Flipping it back over will be extreamly difficult, probably will require several excavators. Then they will have to inspect the engine, to see if its damaged. If it needs parts, it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair. The truck may need parts or welding as well. They will likely fire the driver who flipped it and replace him with someone. You can learn fairly quick.
- Comment on Make it make sense 2 weeks ago:
Its because of two things. One is that people hog the passing lane or try to pass slowly so it takes them a few minutes to overtake a few cars, and also because people drive at different speeds. Some people drive at the speed that feels comfortable, orhers drive the state imposed speed limit. This creates pockets of dense traffic, and then people try to pass, but there is always the person who fries to pass as slow as possible because they are going a few mtoh over the speed limit already.
Its really just a bad combination of laws, and drivers who are terrified of breaking the law, and people who dont know how to drive correctly in a way to reduce traffic. Also mamy people are just never consider that others also need to use the roads.

- Comment on Japan city drafts ordinance to cap smartphone use at 2 hours per day - Kyodo News 2 weeks ago:
Its a horrible law, although there is no punishment, it just normalizes the idea of persecuting and shaming innocent people. The laws are not good when you use them to micromanage your neighbors lives. Laws are supposed to be for taking away the need for violence from society and putting judgment into a transparent and safe and strict process. All this type of stuff just gives the state more power to harm people it doesnt like who are doing nothing actually wrong. Like all laws this will only be selectivly enforced against people the powerful dont like. The reason countries really start to becone bad is when you get one group of idiots in power who think they know everything, who think it their role to mold humanity into their idea of right and wrong. People lose their motivation, their creativity, their will to build things, because their life becomes a benign hell of just being a host for elitest parasites. It starts with eliest assholes telling you how you are allowed to spend your free time, and what types of haircuts are acceptable, and what types of books you are allowed to read. It ends with a society where nobody cares about anything. Nobody wants to work. There isnt anything to buy anyways. Creativity at forst and then the good genes in the pooylation just die out. The human race is truely fucked. The greatest filter we have is our complete inability to not abuse innocent people. So many humans just want to control each other. Humans are obsessed with controling each other. Nothing great was ever created by control, only by the florishing of the human spirit and liberty. Hostory so clearly shows this. Religous societies and authoritarian societies are always complete shitholes even for the ones who benifit, like the racialy pure male normative class. The richest person in a bad country is worse off then the poorest person in a nice country. Money doesnt buy happiness. Money cannot buy you love, not real love, just a simulation of it. Money cannot protect your kids. Money does not give your life meaning. Money usually just ruins you even more then you already were and then you jave to lie and xeluse yourself into thinking you deserve it, to avoid cognitive disonance with the only people who can tolorate you. Too bad people are too dumb to realize this now. People who trade liberty for temporary security, people who trade liberty so they can avoid actually facing any real issues in society, people who trade liberty so they can be comcortable and growntheir 401k, are the worst types of people. They truely deserve every bad thing thats going to happen to them.

Unless you are running a mesh node or joining the global supercompute cluster, you wouldnt need to run any hardware. I more mean like a network of towers run by the state using sub 1000 MGHz freqiencies or soemthing, to get good range, maybe even lower frequencies. You could get like 50+ mile range with small devices at low power if you had the right spectrum.

I have a similar idea for one day when we can actually use the government for good again. We should build a low bandwidth nationwide digital radio network. Not owned by corporations but by the people. Include things like rtk capability by default. The telecomms and isps will try to fight this with billions of inflation dollars, but if we do manage to get this in, everyone could have access to the internet at low speeds without paying, and it would be relativly easy to maintain. An open standard that would allow many cool technologies like robotics that are much safer and precise.
Potential aplications are, nonsibscription medical devices, realtime rtk everywhere, a huge boon for construction with a standard coordinate system. Documenting things like underground cables and pipes easily. Property lines. Self driving cars that can communicate with each other and work together. Access to the internet and communications for the poor. Cheap animal tracking collars. Drones that can fly across the country without needing a data plan. So many things. It would be an efficency gain accross the entire economy.

Thxs that is useful knowledge.
- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 2 weeks ago:
Well im sure that’s true for most people who just browse the web and stuff, but I do many complex things with my PC. Double clicking an installer is just always easier to install software. That was the first big mistake of linux tbh. Not having a standard gui type way to install 3rd party software. App stores are cool, dont get me wrong, but its not a replacement for just double clicking a downloaded file that interacts with a standard set of tools on your PC. I know there are reasons for this, linux is only a kernel and what not. I have been using windows since idk 95 i think when i was like 6 years old. It is definitly way easier to do just about anything. That is because windows was designed to be as simple and cross compatible as possible. Xp and 7 were the best versions of windows unless you were too dumb to avoid getting malware or something. For whatever reason, most people were too dumb to avoid getting maleware because they hard no artistic sense. I could always detect the quality of the mind which made a website, and i knew bad artists were the ones who likely had bad morals, and had malware. Also personality. It was simple for me to avoid malware and i never did get it, maybe twice over like 20 years.
Windows died and so i started to use linux a few years ago. The hardest thing i ever had to do in windows was probably link libraries in C++, almost everything in linux is that hard. The people who make linux just will never understand that the average user will never want to spend hundreds of hours a year maintaining their system. 90% of people cannot even understand if a simple logical statement is true or not. Half of them can barely read. Kid these days dont even know how to use something thats not a touch screen, older people over 60% of them cant send an email without help, and these people are supposed to download xrandr for their linux machine and create a custom startup script in system d, to make their tv display correctly? Madness. I feel like i may have walked into a cult. If you guys are like Linux devs, that is extreamly cool fr, atleast to me, but you are delusional if you think linux is easier to use then windows. It has come a long way. Bazzite is the first distro that i feel comfortable recomending to normies, and i recomend it to many people who are trying to escape the trashpile that is modern windows. Learning liinux has been difficult though, maybe because i dont have tons of free time and energy anymore like when i was younger. It is coming a long way however thxs to lord gaben and his push to make linux more mainstream, so the personal PC market doesnt die completly with whatever the hell microsoft and apple are doing these days, probably trying to micromanage their users, e force moral sogma, and use nudge theory on them because the people who run most companies in America are actually dumb incels at this point.

You are delusional.

The difference is really, I dont have to look stuff up usually to change things on windows. In linux you have to do most things with obscure shell commands and arguments that i dont know.

- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 3 weeks ago:
Good to know, i havnt researched mint much, but im trying to find the most simple system so i can learn linux on a deep level. Basically the temple OS or Dos or windows XP of linux. Not simple as in UI but in file system and stuff. Debian lets me install KDE which i like so the UI side is fine. Its a bit trickier to understand overlay file systems and stuff.
Maybe half of the software I use is in the discover store. I for whatever reason end up using quite a bit of niche software. I have improved a good bit with installing from scripts and stuff. Sometimes i need to install stuff into the OS tree to get it to work and use propeitary binaries. Installing java, AI dev tools, certian versions of Python to get software to work or compile Its annoying, but im moving to debian which should help with many of these things if i can manage to get it installed.
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 3 weeks ago:
I break it into quarters first 12-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12. I break it into thirds next, this gets the hour.
Then for minutes i do the same and just do quick caculations in my head,
1/3 of a quarter before 6 is 25 minutes, 1/3 of a quarter after 9 is 50 minutes.
The only thing im really remembering is that values at the quarters,
(12/0 hours - 0 min), 3 hr - 15 min, (6 hr - 30 min), 9 hr - 45 minutes.
After a while it becomes second nature. I learned this when i was a kid because digital clocks werent as common then.
- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 3 weeks ago:
Linux is objectivly hard to use. Sure if you use it everyday for years and years and memorize all the commands and stuff, you can probably figure out most stuff without searching, but as someone who has only been using Linux for a few years, and is a mere amature C++ programmer, installing anything or even doing basic tasks is often a multi hour process, that requires a snack and a nap afterwards, with a maybe 50% success rate. Just adding a script to autorun at boot was something that took me a few hours and probably dozens of lines of shell. Im moving to debian soon though, which should maybe help since i dont have to deal with containers and and overlay filesystem and all that nonsense. Linux really needs to lean into UI development, simplicity, and intutitve design. I still struggle to find files in linux without links. KDE has come a long way in recent years. I can now do things like scale my screen size without hours of research. Linux will never become mainstream unless the typical user can do nearly everything without ever touching the shell. That has always been the thing that has held Linux back besides game compatability. Now that valve is finally creating a more normie friendly version of linux with game compatability and a sort of complete UI. It might actually overtake windows. Its still a massive pain in the ass compared to windows, double click an exe or msi to install your software. If i need to find a file on Windows, indont even need a search function. I can just find it in less then a minute. Linux definitly has some big flaws and bad design decisions.

No spyware, much better performance and wear on your hardware. Actual control over your devices. The downside is, linux is complicated and a pain to learn how to use or maintain. Windows is easy to use but so is a vtech laptop which is essentiallly the trade off. It used to be that windows was easy to use and open as a platform, but microsoft is doing everything in its power to ruin windows. The modern developers also really suck and the modern codebase is buggy as hell. The OS kills your harddisks and ssds, even before the new broekn update because they are constantly scanning your files to send signitures to palantir or whatever. They are removing basic functionality and a few years from now I imagine you wont even be allowed to close or open apps, like with Android. It will just be full of ads and spyware and you will have to pay a subscription to use it or something. People have been jumping ship because at this point continuing to use windows is just going to make your life painful in the future.
