I don’t think “ACAB” is a great credo, and it’s probably a self-fulfilling prophecy. Don’t dehumanise cops, most of them really are trying to help.
Already has I think. Especially with tools like radar/sonarr/jellyfin that let you “follow” tv series/movies and automatically download them as they become available and put them into your own personal “Netflix” style media server. Piracy now is better than ever.
In a perfect world I would agree with you.
In a capitalist economy it’s normally a “growth or death” situation, for many reasons.
You can boot from USB with UEFI, that’s not a showstopper. Unless I’m missing something?
It’s still a bad idea. If they have some really nasty malware installed it could rootkit your device, and vice versa - and you never really know. Just build a small portable computer (eg. Raspberry pi, NUC, etc) and use their KB/mouse/display.
Other peeps are saying just connect to a remote desktop you have hosted somewhere using your friend’s PC - don’t do that, you can’t trust their software/hardware.
After a brief search I can’t find any mention of any punishment for Sisyphus if he stopped pushing the boulder up the hill. That said, this is all taking place in Tartarus so there probably isn’t much else to do and endlessly push a boulder up hill might be the better option lol. I can relate.
Are you negging him cos you want him to be your man baby?
And my axe!
Plato’s “the cave” thought experiment (circa 400 BC) is basically a suggestion of simulation. Modern science agrees - human perception of reality is limited and effectively a simulation. You don’t need modern digital technology to imagine living in a simulation.
I laughed at the word ‘fastness’, but then realised it’s a lot safer than offering ‘speed’ on the internet lol
I agree, the delivery services are definitely price gouging to a degree. It sucks that we’re charged for delivery, service fees AND the item prices are inflated by around 20% too. Thing is, I think there’s a bunch of reasons that TonyDelivers will eventually become as bad as the current market leaders. As his company grows, takes on employees, builds infrastructure, overheads increase, management grows - they’ll fall into the same “traps”/profit seeking the other delivery companies have fallen into.
Exactly, most services can be tied into a central authentication system/SSO and can automatically be disabled upon disabling an SSO user.
Yeah I’d give FTA another decade, 2 max. Now I think about it this is kinda worrying tho, at least on FTA everyone sees the same broadcast. If everyone’s streaming and each user’s stream could be individually selected or even tampered with [deepfakes?] the problems we have at the moment with people living in different ‘realities’ could get a lot worse. I’m not saying that’s gonna happen, but interesting things happen when powerful entities have access to technology like that.
I agree that most people don’t really need to worry about our universe being a simulation or not, but your statement “You can view our universe as a computer program, you can also view it as the universe.” concerns me. This is true until you start trying to analyse how the universe works, but then all kinds of weird things crop up. It feels like you’re saying we don’t need to investigate this so why bother?
I sometimes joke that some entity created our universe to find the solution to the Travelling Salesman Problem and if we ever figure it out they’ll switch our universe off. I’d like our universe to keep going a little bit longer so it would be nice to know if it’s simulated.
Obrigado ❤️😎

It’s interesting that as we’re supposed to be trying to fix climate change Yank Tanks are more popular than ever. Truly the Lucky Country.
Or just have all gambling be run by the government so the profits go to social services to support people who bankrupt themselves from gambling.
