  • If thereโ€™s one thing the O9A are exceedingly unlikely to order, itโ€™s the assassination of Trump ๐Ÿ˜‚ if they even exist anymore, that is.

  • Itโ€™s carbon dust, which your body is pretty good at dealing with, and in quantities so trivial you probably already inhale more currently than you would using a pencil in an otherwise mostly sterile spaceship (at least sterile compared to earth)

  • Keep in mind this is the absolute funniest he has ever been. A pun with a punchline and no setup.

    The best he has ever done is get 50% of the way to a mildly funny joke. With his trademark inability to read the room on top !

    (and donโ€™t tell me thatโ€™s because heโ€™s autistic. Iโ€™m autistic, weโ€™re disadvantaged in this domain but we can learn to do it all the same. He either doesnโ€™t know or doesnโ€™t care, most likely the latter.)

  • Those substances are empathy multipliers, unfortunately multiplying 0 always yields 0โ€ฆ

    If his brain doesnโ€™t possess the ability to empathize, thereโ€™s nothing for those substances to enhance.

  • 100% unconditional intolerance for fascists. You canโ€™t give them a millimeter or theyโ€™ll take the entire country.

    I suggest watching Thought Slimeโ€™s recent video if you wish to know how to effectively counteract fascists.

    The gist is that you shouldnโ€™t try to argue with them, they donโ€™t care about reality. Donโ€™t let them look reasonable by arguing as if they were, insist on pointing out theyโ€™re being assholes (which they are) and that anything they suggest is so obviously wrong it doesnโ€™t even need to be explained why itโ€™s wrong (which is true).

  • The โ€œsmall scaleโ€ part of my comment is a bit of an overstatement. Perhaps I should have said โ€œsmallest practical scaleโ€.

    I believe mostly in letting people make choices for themselves, which I think is best served by having organisations at a size where an individual voice has the opportunity to make a difference.

    This can be achieved in many different ways, including having partially independent subdivisions within large scale organizations.

    One of the (many) failings of the USSR was, at least for a long time at the start, insufficient flexibility and reactivity to local issues. But thinking about it, maybe this isnโ€™t a good reason to think ill of centralized planning. The USSR had incompetent centralized planning (especially in the agricultural sector in the earlier days), the failures and famines could be argued to me more due to the incompetence than to core attributes of centralized planning.

  • My boy Le Chat is the only one with a friendly face as its logo ๐Ÿ˜Ž Vive la France ! ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท

  • One day youโ€™re talking about a random topic while your phone is next to you and the following day you notice ads start popping up related to that same topic.

    Jokeโ€™s on them ; I havenโ€™t seen an ad in the last 5 years ๐Ÿ˜†

  • I am personally weary of centralized planning, I think small scale cooperatives are the way to go instead of big corporations. With more centralized authority for things that require it, like law enforcement.

  • Being able to see during ocular saccades. I was surprised to hear in so many videos โ€œyour brain blinds you because it would be nauseatingโ€

    No itโ€™s not ? Itโ€™s just blurry.

    Also, apparently some people canโ€™t consciously control the focus distance of their eyes.

  • Sounds like a perfect application for Nix, IMO. Either ship a flake or a NixOS config module, and youโ€™re set.

    The only disadvantage I can see is the unusual directory structure of NixOS.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • What was the most delicious thing she ever ate ?

  • Iโ€™m lucky to say both my parents are like this. They have flaws, for sure, and it would probably worry them if I started unloading on them suddenly, but they wouldnโ€™t judge or be angry at me, thatโ€™s for certain.

    If anything I need to filter what I say to protect them, theyโ€™re both quite prone to worrying too much for things that arenโ€™t very important.

  • This is how you find out your profileโ€™s bad.

    I donโ€™t know how applicable this is to this persons specifically, but hereโ€™s some general advice from someone whoโ€™s been on both sides (Iโ€™m trans), and got a high amount of matches either way.

    Every woman Iโ€™ve spoken to about Tinder agrees :

    • Men overwhelmingly have profiles with little to no info in their bio (most often copy-pasted jokes, extremely generic facts like โ€œI like food and musicโ€โ€ฆ)
    • And poorly taken and/or cringe photos (posing with their car, half drunk with half a dozen other people, making a weird face, showing off nonexistent gainsโ€ฆ)

    If you want more matches, you need good pictures (not blurry, not from far away, not backlit) that stand out from the rest (especially, no one cares about your car. An expensive car is a huge douchebag redflag), and a bio that actually says something about your hobbies, world view, etc.

    So, in summary, two steps :

    • Actually be an interesting person (probably already true, but hard to fix if not)
    • Communicate that properly (easier than you think, see above)
  • Thatโ€™s fair, I think this could be allowed by authorizing those ads to be placed by local cinemas, concert halls, and museums.

    That would also mean a filmโ€™s marketing has to pay cinemas directly to advertise in-town through them, which would be a source of revenue for them !

  • I personally think physical advertisements in the city should be limited to local businesses only.

    And of course, no ads by the motorway, although thatโ€™s already the case here in France.

  • If you want a bit of a โ€œDeadpoolโ€ type edge, that hero can purposely kill themselves if they fail the mission to get another go.

    Or turn it another way, and we eventually discover theyโ€™ve started routinely doing so until they get everything absolutely perfect. Theyโ€™ve lived multiple subjective โ€œyearsโ€ in the past few weeks, and itโ€™s begun affecting them much more than they realizeโ€ฆ

    Configuring Tor : how to add a config file to tor's store path ?

    I am attempting to configure the Tor daemon on nix-darwin. There is unfortunately no services.tor on this platform (yet ! maybe I'll port it from nixOS once I know enough Nix to do that)

    I could manage it with homebrew, however, that seems like a sub-par solution, effectively moving tor entirely out of the nix store.

    I have installed the package in my flake, and I would like to link a torrc config file to the right directory /etc/tor. However, when done with environment.etc, the file is linked to the general /etc outside of the store, where tor cannot find it.

    How can I link this file inside tor's own /etc in the store, so it can use the configuration ?

    Link to my config repo fixed at the current commit
