“Ecodefense: A Field Guide to Monkeywrenching” was the name

That’s actually addressed in the book as well, you can get hardened ceramic rods that work even better, they’re just a bit more expensive

You’re gonna get labeled a terrorist and probably shot

The way to go is in the monkey wrenching book (forgot the full name:

You take steel bars, and cut them to size

Then you remove a piece of bark

Drill a hole into the tree

Put the steel rod in

Glue the bark back on

Do it at eye level-ish, that way you’re not hurting the worker with a snapping chain, instead damaging the lumber mill. Bigger damage anyways

Türkiye is also part of NATO, that is gonna be an interesting conversation when Israel strikes Turkish assets

It’s pretty obvious from context that they’re talking about content personalization algorithms. They ain’t talking about binary search

Yeah, you’re right. The “Palastinian health authorities say” could have been dropped instead.

Given the track record of western reporting denying genocide and doing everything they can to whitewash Israel I get your response, but how would you have titled it?

Communism is a stateless, classless and moneyless society. Of course there need to be structures in place to ensure it stays that way, because having a powerful few would have reintroduced classes. Thats why you need stable, democratic governance, for example federated councils or something similar.

most people rather tune out ‘the noise’ and live their lives being blissfully ignorant

I’d argue that’s not an intrinsic feature of humans, but the result of capitalist alienation. On the one hand, the individual has very little chance to participate in the decision making process, and people are overworked so they barely have the energy or time to do so, even if they wanted to

:3

Proton is just a compatibility layer, not a virtual machine or emulator. So while the specifics vary from game to game, in general, performance is comparable. In my experience it’s just as stable and often faster than on windows (at least on AMD GPUs. But Nvidia has gotten better as well)

Because if it didn’t, we wouldn’t be here having this discussion

This. Treat it like a fancy monitor, and run whatever you need on an external device. You can use an old laptop or a newer raspberry pi

It’s fair to want to learn (and it’s certainly a good skill to have), but the question is what you’d rather see in a large, production environment. Guard rails are usually there for a reason. As for the control: you actually can program memory-unsafe (and in kernel development you often have to!) in Rust. The difference is that in Rust it’s explicitly marked by an unsafe block:

unsafe {
  ...
}

That way you get the same, fine-grained control over low-level processes, but someone else reading your code can at a glace spot where potential memory bugs may be.

In the end, languages are a tool. Especially for personal projects, everyone should just go with what’s fun to them. I personally think it makes sense, logistically, to slowly transition legacy C-based projects to Rust, because it makes onboarding new developers easier, while keeping the same memory safety that requires years of experience otherwise, basically for free. But there’s really no rush to rewrite anything that’s working well in Rust

They explicitly said to build dual power. Or do you believe you can vote your way out of this?

Instead, the US bars people from voting!

The amount of emotions you superimpose

???

highly repeatable avenue to gain an advantage.

who would do this? seriously

What are you trying to say? You’re either saying being trans is a choice (yikes!)

Or you’re saying cis men would go through years of transition, crippling dysphoria from transitioning into the wrong gender, the social ostracization that comes from being transgender in general and a trans athlete in specific, all to… get a potential, marginal advantage? That’s a fantasy.

Either way, I don’t get your point

that’s not how that works, quantum entanglement can not be used to transmit information and thus doesn’t violate causality

HRT is already mandatory to compete at basically every level. The whole “you can just identify as a woman and compete” is scaremongering by transphobes.

Someone can be born a man, reap the benefits of a male puberty(bone structure, height, ect.), then become a trans woman athlete. That is a completely controllable path that circumvents some amount of training and preparation other participants in the sport have to do.

You make it sound like being trans is a choice one can make to give themselves an advantage, and let me just say, yikes. Being trans is not a completely controllable path, just as your height or if you’re left handed is not.

The median trans woman is likely taller than the median cis woman. This does not justify why she should be excluded. We don’t treat other categories like this, either. The median Dutch woman is taller than the median Korean woman. But you don’t see politicians making a fuss about the Dutch in sports, now do you?
