I'm not sure if they are real people. I started two sessions and I didn't see my other self, despite being in the same location. Also, both times, the starting place was the same. If that would be the case for everyone, there woul

To me it looks a bit creepy enlarged, but it works really well in small size, (which was the point)!

People will still keep up the class stratification, because power feels good, and a myriad of other human properties, or failings if you will. So, the problems will also never end.

I thought that too, but experience had proven me otherwise. At a software firm, I have many colleagues who don't mind this at all. In fact, it's the opposite: I'm the one who is too paranoid about things like connecting a was

Not good news, it's just better to know, than to not know. These sponges don't take chemicals out of our environment, they trap it and slowly release it where we would need cleanness. These chemicals would have gone away a long ti

People don't just use cameras as perfect recording tools, as wild as that sounds. Photos are also for expression. And so, editing can be used to enhance the expression part, getting the image away from the recording parts maybe, but cl

I'd do it so that I secure my "life" that I built there, and then plan my exit while it's still optional.

The definition you cite is also arbitrary, and language changes over time, and over regions. For what it's worth, I consider tomato a vegetable too, and so, I failed the level initially. Which, to be honest, mirrors my experience with

Humanity doesn't seem to have a universally accepted definition for that. Originally, colloquially, all the plants were vegetables that had edible parts. Later fruits and vegetables had their own category, even though many of the fruit

Frankly I expect this of all captchas. I routinely fail the "select all squares with x" types for some reason.

That map is upside down, as the convention is that north is up. It's so widespread that people also say that they live "up north" or "down south". ˙ɹǝɥʇᴉǝ uʍop ǝpᴉsdn ʇou sᴉ ʇxǝʇ sᴉɥʇ 'ɔᴉʇuɐpǝd ƃuᴉǝq ǝɹ,ǝʍ ɟᴉ &

I'm on KDE for the last 2-3 years on multiple machines, and I can't say I spotted any KDE bugs. My system is debian testing + KDE though (and I tried it on Manjaro as well). Sometimes it's not the DE, but the distro they come

I appreciate in KDE that it's an up to date traditional desktop environment. I learned computers with Windows 3.1, and that paradigm is still what feels the best to me, and KDE gives it in a nice looking, modern way, with a good bunch

Yes, I totally agree! The first such tool was KDEConnect for me, I used its xfce compatible fork back in the day, and it was like magic, connecting my phone to the PC in such a native feeling way. And the Kate editor is my latest discovery.

Free software is not immune either, like in case of Ubuntu, or Firefox. But honestly, it's nitpicking, free software is humanity's real chance of having ethical software, and the situation in open source land is orders of magnitud

These are end-user products with many real alternatives, if people didn't like them, they wouldn't buy them. So the problem is not that the decision-maker and the user are different, like in case of the famously dreaded electronic

Regulators don't "value attention little", they did the exact opposite, harnessed the power of the internet to grab unreal amount of power. They are doing the exact mind control you are writing about, and what they care about

Yeah, I suspect this really is a YMMV situation. I approach phones from my PC / Linux background, with a specific subset of software I wanna use, and it was a perfect match for that. If someone expects it to be "Android, but someh

Software tamperproofing. Or, at least an attempt to it. Apps can request the info from Android: "hey, is this a legit Android system? Everything in factory condition?" and this mechanism would respond. Some apps request this in th

Apps that need SafetyNet to be in a particular state won't work. I never experienced the downside, even with my smaller bank's app, it works seamlessly. Although, keep in mind, this is subject to change. All they need to do is jus

Yes, I posted that quote, as an example of what kind of statements he was making. And again, I'm not against his positions per se - I'm highlighting that with Charlie, there is a lot more going on under the surface, than over the

I don't. What would be the alternative, believe the face value outright? That's not just a bad approach to politics, where everything is about controlling narratives, but a bad life advice in general. Or do I misunderstand what yo

With politics, if you after the truth, you have to consider context. Coded / indirect speech is common, and it's also common to say an acceptable thing, while meaning an entirely different thing, aka dogwhistling (like "famil

I did not say that he promoted violence. But he did not die promoting non-violence either. He died promoting false narratives, in a damaging way.
