Have you heard of Severance? This has a vibe extremely similar to that show.

None of the comments at the time of writing this comment actually answer your question in regards to cobb tuning devices I’ll try. It depends. It’s not that these devices really significantly increase power, it’s that all the mods that do m

This is a minor point but cranking the volume doesn’t necessarily mean hearing loss. You could for example have a device that amplifies external sound so that you your hearing is enhanced over all frequencies but has a max volume that it wi

I dont disagree with what you’re saying in principle. However the Facebook experiment has been going on for decades, with multiple examples of unethical behaviour and a clear lack of any respect for privacy. Same can be said about basically

The issues with your position is: - Basically no one reads the terms they are “agreeing” to. This breaks the legal and logical principle that you can’t agree to something when you don’t know what you’re agreeing to. - The agreement is basic

Even if the users opted in when they signed up by agreeing to some privacy policy they didn’t read, that no one ever reads, that doesn’t make it okay for facebook to do this.

So I live in a nanny state, and I hate the fact that my freedom is restricted. Gun ownership of any kind is all but prohibited, for example. However I really wish the discourse around this stuff would shift a little bit. I want my governmen

Yeah my native language is afrikaans which also has the 4 and 20 for 24 vibe. For me the difficulty is was with times tables strangely enough, as long after I started thinking primarily in English I was still doing times tables in afrikaans

I didn’t say this in my comment but my angle is that the critics here seem to be making this an apple v google thing, which is tired thing that I have no interest in, and neither should anyone else. This is really about big tech vs the peop

If you can self host, wiki.js is easy to set up in a docker container. Mediawiki (What Wikipedia runs on) is pretty easy too. If you have a small team, Obsidian and a syncing solution like git or obsidian sync might work. I was able to wor

Apollo’s complaint in their comment was that what apple is doing compared to what google is doing is like murder vs jaywalking. That’s obviously not true.

I actually think the Facebook thing has a lot more to do with the fact that they really aren’t a monopoly in the social media space anymore. They’re still evil but they’re not winning lol. In my country it seems like they have a monopoly on

> Imo going after for Google for antitrust is like cracking down on jwalking and ignoring the murders taking place downtown That’s an awful analogy. Google is clearly a monopoly on many fronts. Sure, apple aren’t great either but you hav

It does not invalidate science. The scientific method is the process by which we build gradually towards a clearer picture of the ground truth if there is one. Even if by “science” you just meant our current understanding of the universe as

Well the photons leaving earth are scattered in almost all directions. So at 1500 light years there might not be any photons arriving from that exact moment and place on earth because you might be down to say 1 photon arriving per hour or e

Can confirm, as a libertarian I don’t want a free market, it’s more like I think the rights of people should be above the rights of companies, corporations and so on. Governments exist to protect the rights of the people and in this age, in

To have a unique id for each house is neat but I think there are loads of situations you’d have to account for so that there isn’t any ambiguity in the assignment of unique ids. If any ambiguities exist inevitably you will have exceptions i

Yeah I agree, I was just pointing out that a wire won’t change resistance due to voltage going up. Of course notwithstanding the wire heating up or something.

by left-struck 2y ago
Resistance stays the same, loss due to resistance goes down. I’m not sure it halves either, it might be better than halving but I’m not sure myself. Edit: Basic power loss formula is P=I^2R, so yes power loss is divided by 4 for a 2x incre

I like email forwarding services, like ddg, mozilla’s relay, iCloud’s hide my email and simple login. Unique password and email address for every website, plus, like you said if your unique email shows up somewhere it’s a smoking gun.

I’ve also had some success writing Java more like as if it’s rust, using Java Records instead of classes to create immutable types. I’m not sure if I would recommend it if you’re working as part of a team though, other java devs will hate y
