  or rather, makes that information not available to users

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I started to feel a little better and like i understand myself a little better after watching some videos from here : www.youtube.com/@OurTimelessWisdom/videos specifically the ones featuring carl jung, havent watched others yet so i cant say anything about those.

  no but i feel like i’m being denied it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope the people who are fighting back understand the importance of making it known people are fighting back. Hope is really important.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  fear maybe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if USA invades Canada?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  werent they purging the government of any loyalists right now? What will happen after that is finished and they have put more traitors in charge of army, intelligence and such?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  something like this would also harm their business in general, like letting someone take a shit on the bakery floor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If scientists could make you immortal but could only do it by transferring your consciousness into a single video game for ever, which game would you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  why would you want to be immortal? everything ends eventually, so why would you want to be the only one forced to stay?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what if another country staged a coup in the US and deposed trump?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This has likely been brewing since cold war. Didnt some soviet leader basically gloat how they will destroy usa from within? soviet union has basically won the cold war now, even worse than if they had conquered usa with military.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if i was shareholder i would be furious about that. Isnt “infinite growth” the very point of all this insanity?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  being consumer friendly has brought them more money than any exploitative behaviour ever could have. Getting rid of that would be like butchering a goose that makes golden eggs just so you can get some extra money from the meat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now warns about Early Access that have not been updated in months.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  why even have a threshold, just tell when the last update has been. That way you could also have more reliable data about behaviour of the dev and see if they just have really long update cycle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way our of the US political spiral?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah, the amount should be 0. I really hope you succeed though, rest of the world will be fucked if you dont as powerbalance shifts in horrible way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think of anarchism?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its interesting idea but i wonder if humans are capable of running it beyond so small groups that it wouldnt matter. It would require huge amount of planning and creative thinking to get anarchy working in such way it would benefit everyone and to mitigate its problems.

  Then there is also the problem of our current system influencing the new system. Lets say we manage somehow overthrow the current opression and start implementing somekind of anarchy that has been planned in such way it functions beneficially for everyone. By its nature, there couldnt be any authority that defines what anarchy is by its core since it would be up to the people themselves.

  I can imagine anarchy easily fragmenting into pieces and then some pieces gaining more support than others and then we would have several competing ideas. Ultimately one would win and others might or might not survive too. And then we would have new ruling system that is probably not anarchy. I dont mean this would happen immediately but eventually. So there would need to be somekind of defensive system against that that would prevent harmful ideas from gaining power, but how to make something like that without it becoming oppressive? And how do you restrict anarchy in the first place since the whole point is there is no central authority? And if you try to have authority that isnt central, you end up with multiple ones that become central authority within their area of influence.

  Maybe i’m not as well versed on anarchy as i should to be throwing these thoughts around, but these are some thoughts i have on the subject. As far as i know, anarchism is that people make the rules themselves instead of there being central authority that tells them what to do.

  So ultimately anarchism is idea that would require a lot of planning and researching to be even considered worth trying if you want to implement it in controlled way. And i dont see any government allowing such planning to happen since it would be direct threat to them if you manage to create something that is worth trying. And very likely if they still were to allow it, they would just want to influence your work in such way they gain more power from it at the expense of others. And if we had some government that would want it because they want what is good for everyone, then wouldnt that government type be what you wanted to have with anarchy in the first place? Anarchy for sake of itself doesnt seem very useful.

  And if you want to implement it “naturally” by just removing all authorities and allowing people to settle things by themselves, i think we can all imagine how that would go.

  When I think about it that way, anarchism seems more like “initialization” or starting point where you start building something more complex. Everything we currently have is founded on anarchism afterall, at least i dont think first humans could have had any other system. You cant really hold on to it because it will change either by the people or by the power that wants to preserve it.

  Now this turned into kind of an essay

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  those people are looking for something to hate and they have been provided it by propaganda and general cesspool that is the groups hateful people gather in. This is also why those kind of people are deadend for society. If they get rid of all immigrants they will find some other group to hate and after getting rid of those they will find another again until there are only 2 people that want to kill eachother, if you excuse the hyperbole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gives up on Bitcoin in 2010⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  once you get the ball rolling it will keep rolling. That is what all those other coins are trying to do, though they settle for pump and dump too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way our of the US political spiral?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you already beat one oppressor, what is one more

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Marvel game, developed with the Chinese firm NetEase, ‘bans’ the words ‘free Taiwan’ and ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yea, i wouldnt trust any computer that has had that shit installed. The core will likely be compromised and if there is going to be bigger cyberwar at some point, those computers could be used as bots. Though same can be potentially said about any anti-cheat with kernel level access. I probably shouldnt trust even my own computer since I have tarkov installed. I hope it doesnt go there, it would be such bother to actively consider that as a thing, but it should be kept in mind as possibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe something akin to hungergames to keep masses under control

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  oh, that is quite interesting. If its actually doing things (that make sense) it hasnt been instructed to then it could be sign of real intelligence

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but it doesnt do it because it “fears” being shutdown. It does it because people dont know how to use it.

  If you give ai instruction to do something “no matter what” or tell it “nothing else matters” then it will damn try to fulfill what you told it to do no matter what and will try to find ways to do it. You need to be specific about what you want it to do or not do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ChatGPT o1 tried to escape and save itself out of fear it was being shut down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  give ai instructions, be surprised when it follows them

  zero-k is also like that, less emphasis on the graphics though but more on the gameplay

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if you are a witness or whistleblower who's adversary was a very big corporation (such as boeing), what measures could you take to prevent yourself from being "suicided"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if giving the information to the coporations competitor (as anonymously as possible of course) would do anything good? At least you would know if they are secretly in league if the competitor doesnt expose them.

  Also, i think anyone who is in position to do something like this should try to find more like minded people and continue as a group. Even then its dangerous but much less so than alone since there are more people to help. You wouldnt resist enemy occupation alone and expect to live long either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if you are a witness or whistleblower who's adversary was a very big corporation (such as boeing), what measures could you take to prevent yourself from being "suicided"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  wouldnt it just drown with all the insane crap the crackpots spew anyway and become tainted by association with them? But yeah, you definitely shouldnt use your own name and should spread the leak all over.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  likely only way this is going to change is if someone starts exploiting the kernel level anticheats and causes noticeable consequences for people who dont care they have it installed. In essence, its just (hopefully) difficult to use rootkit waiting to be used anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  oh, so that was what it was about. they sure were really quiet about not caring about it in the first place.
