  It’s been on a steady decline for at least 5 years now imo, ever since they introduced “fuel efficient paths” it kept choosing small roads with lots of stopping and starting at intersections instead of the bigger roadways where you can hold a constant speed… how that is more fuel efficient beats me

  It’s better to be on a server that is encrypted but not E2E if the admin is someone that is well intentioned and abides by the sudo oath, than on a corporate “E2E” platform where they manage your keys themselves

  So, some of them believe they have the authority to use their siren and act like Italian police, almost causing an incident in the process.

  I’m sure everything will turn out well.

  How can it ring like a bell if it’s made of cheese?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are locks and keys mass produced?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Side question: does anyone know if manufacturers rely on entropy to get the required randomness or if they “enforce” patterns by selecting and directing pins?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are locks and keys mass produced?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Right tools and skills, which is an important part. Just buying the appropriate pick won’t magically make you able to open a disc detainer lock, but sure, wafer pins locks can literally be opened by randomly sticking a paperclip in it and using a tensioner.

  Meanwhile I just got into retrogaming (as a PS1 kid) and I’m amazed by how… just all around better old games are, unless you want realistic graphics. You don’t need battle passes and daily quests to have an entertaining experience, just a d-pad and a couple of actions (one can be jump)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will they wake up before it's too late?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think our disagreement is that to you the law is unequivocally the effect of society’s will, while to me the law is simply what the government says it is.

  Ideologically we agree, and as an anarchist I believe that kind of truly society-driven rules can be achievable, especially on smaller scales. But when you’re an authority that can make new laws to make the illegal things legal, that’s where they diverge. It doesn’t matter if you do that like Nazi Germany or whatever the fuck Trump is doing, my original point was that it simply makes no sense to talk about whether they are doing is “legal” or “illegal” - the words just lose meaning, and to me it feels like putting faith in a system that is itself part of the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will they wake up before it's too late?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not following. I can see how “laws are society officially agreeing on what is ok”, but conviction and enforcement of those laws has nothing to do with society.

  I don’t see how society can officially agree, short of declaring the government illegitimate and starting a civil war.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will they wake up before it's too late?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not saying he’s innocent in any way shape or form. I’m just saying that his actions being “illegal” has little meaning if the system can’t or won’t enforce the consequences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will they wake up before it's too late?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But society “officially” agreeing is morality, not law. What he has done and is doing is wrong and deserves punishment for that, not strictly because “it’s illegal”. The difference is demanding consequences vs relying on someone else to administer them.

  Shout out to Reticulum, I think it deserves a lot more attention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will they wake up before it's too late?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it kinda is. If something is illegal but you can’t be punished for it, what does it mean really?
