Yeah and there’s just as many paid for programs with the same issues… What’s your point? Want me to show you some open source programs that are polished? Heard of blender before? That’s not the point I was making anyway… The issue with non foss software is that you have ZERO control over it. Big corporations can decide to drop support at any moment or make a free tier paid.

Came scrolling for this ^^

That’s why open source rules

I like the idea of protecting children from algorithms that make you addicted and lead to doom-scrolling. But you don’t to that by restricting the individual, but by restricting the corporations.

I wasn’t referring to that, I’m aware of the inverse square law.

I guess I miss interpreted your previous comment for pro-gun, my bad.

You are a bit delulu hmmm?

You’re not completely wrong. But (1) guns make it sooo much easier to cause a lot of harm, and (2) a gun gives you so much more confidence than a knife. Also: you can run from a knife, you can’t run from a gun

Huh, that makes a lot of sense actually. Thanks for correcting!

I often hear people saying “But where does the electricity for the EV come from? Driving an EV is not better than driving a diesel.”

They have to realize that the thiny ICE in your car is optimised for weight, and has an efficiency of 30-35%. So about ⅔ of the fossil fuel is turned into heat and blown out of the exhaust. Compare that to the turbine in a coal or gas plant, which can archive up to 90% efficiency.

And don’t forget that an EV is an investment, which will likely still be on the road in 20 years time. The electricity mix at the moment is still rather fossil fuel heavy, but this will change completely within the next 10 years.

Edit: not 90% but 40% efficiency. See comments below

Both are in the arms business. They make money from war.

Not the end

Not necessarily half them. You can inform your guess by looking at sports betting odds. Maybe a weak team is playing against a strong one? Then your split could be 30/70 instead of 50/50

You could make a more informed split to increase your odds. Say a weak team plays against a strong team, and official sports betting offices rate the chances 30/70. Instead of splitting the two groups 50/50 you now split them 30/70 as well.

Emails (gmail at least) can also dynamically display information. So you could just change a wrong guess to a right one after the fact.

Based on yourself. Read the dictionary

Your definition of communism is flawed, but I actually agree with the rest of what you’re saying. Content creators are what makes yt worthwhile, and them earning money through ads is perfectly reasonable.

YouTube has some shady practices like showing ads on videos of creators that don’t have a contract with them, meaning YouTube makes money from those creators without the creators receiving anything in return. But for the most part I think that ads on YouTube are fine.

That’s not really true. Pressure doesn’t really make a difference if there’s no pressure-difference. The controller body is filled with water and is pushing back. The pressure alone wouldn’t harm the controller.

I do agree with you that the controller would be mulch though. It was in a pressure vessel that imploded at 3800m depth, so everything inside the pressure vessel would be crushed as well.
