And yet sometimes even with modern file sharing hosters I can only get 100KByte/s connections.

You had me from the very end.

And I bet Meta didn’t even properly seed it while they downloaded…

Correct me if I am wrong, but did this not happen to the music of a bunch of Soviet era composers, that was temporarily free of copyright in the USA and then later had to be put into copyright again after the Cold War ended?

Absolutely ture, your comment being? I think they were simply referencing the fact that there is a lot more software out there that can be made to semi easily run on linux/unix based systems.

Or maybe just focus your time on politics to make a country in which you are not allowed to fire people illy nilly.

While “taking a picture” is a viable option for personal blogs and such, it does technically break the ToS for most social media sites and also might violate copyright, which is why reputable news sources are left with the, arguably shitty option, of using embedded posts.

This feels like it could be exactly the type of thing that causes the car crash in the pilot episode of the Upload TV series.

This wsa considered in the earlier days of the web, but then intentionally not enforced. HTML was specifically designed to not fall into the same scheme as most programming languages in that it should try to render what it could even if there was a lot going wrong (unlike most programming languages that try to fail fast).

(And before someone comes after me for comparing HTML to programming languages, I am well aware that it is not Turing complete.)

To be honest, this just sounds like sugar shock. If your blood sugar rises too fast for insulin to be able to counteract it, then you start getting symptoms like drowsiness, fatigue, and “high-ness.” This can feel good, but it is basically doing damage to your brain, so I am not sure that this would be good long term. Then again, I suppose the same can be said for (hard) drugs.

Laws are created by humans. What a surprise that there isn’t already a law forbidding something that human common sense tells you not to do.

That being said, I would love to see a video of somebody wearing an exosceleton pedalling away like crazy on a normal bycicle.

Not a particularly informed comment, but I always figured because people started getting scared of the Christian god, so they started turning towards other religions. As a consequence, the Christian church needed to figure out how to make Christianity a bit more approachable, so the new testament and forgiveness were created.

I am fairly certain that I have had a PC before that had exactly the issue that the CMOS battery ran out. It was able to boot just fine, I just couldn’t get it to connect to the internet properly. Took me ages to figure out that the date and time in the OS were completely wrong, because I never really use my computer as a clock anyways.

Actually, sometimes having too many alarms can actually lead to alarm blindness where the person does not really recognize the alarms as important and just subconssciousely turns them into background noise.

That being said, I still think at least in the short term this is a good idea. In the longer term, do you make sure that you are really well rested? I.e. the 15 minutes of boredom trick? (Do absolutely nothing for 15 minutes. You should get really bored. If you can manage to stay awake even through 15 minutes of boredom, then you are well rested, if not you need more sleep)

I am glad to have lived in a time in history where I could witniss this exchange.

Well this was an emotional ride. I thought it was great news, but your comment makes it seem more like a publicity stunt. ˙◠˙

Touch grass… and make local friends. People you know in real life; know their families. Most people are not nearly as bad as the world makes it seem at the moment.

Not to mention the fact that an asteroid that large would also start exerting its own (noticeable) gravitaional field when it gets this close to earth. Although I guess you kind of already covered that with the tsunamis.

To play devils advocate here: So you help tide the people over that are carelessly thrown away by the disfunctional US government. Just so they can go back to doing what the government wants once the government starts paying them again? I would say these people need to learn not to trust the government and find jobs elsewhere.

I think they were referring to criticizing the US government, not PRC. In an effort to keep free speech around in the US.
