  It’s not coincidental that the word “Saboteur” refers to someone throwing shoes into industrial machinery in an effort to cause it to jam or break.

  I never read the book, and I knew this somehow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I sign up for a torrenting site like torrent galaxy or something, and leave my computer running then will other people get seeded? Or do I have to upload a file or can I just have it finished?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you asking about the basics of how tormenting works and how torrents are distributed? Nothing wrong with that, I just want to make sure I don’t write a wall of text, explaining something you already know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m gonna start a competing “package tailing” service. I’ll sneak from shadow to shadow and always stay two cars (or bicycles) behind the courier, wearing a dark trenchcoat and report any updates to you. When your package arrives, I’ll show up at the same time, surprising the courier/carrier with fresh polaroids taken through a tele-lens.

  It won’t be cheaper, but helluva lot cooler.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are there people who don't know Alaska and Hawaii are states?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry to burst your bubble, but the “murica big” argument isn’t an excuse outside of identifying states vs european countries, and even then it’s dubious at best.

  Ask an average subsection of Europeans and Americans, and Europeans will simply be better at picking countries on a map. This has been tested multiple times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would a disk shaped planet have uniform gravity like earth or would it vary depending on whether you're near the center or edges?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Center of mass w9upd be at the center of the disc, so the further out you go, the more sideways will be down.

  In other words, if you started at the center and started walking rimwards, it’d gradually startbfeeling like you’re walking uphill; Because relative to gravity you actually are. But the further out you go, gravity would also be weaker, as you’re further away from center of mass, so the “uphill climb” wouldn’t be that hard.

  That strategy worked well when it was just me and the ~10 articles of clothing I own. But now that I’m in a household of six that approach doesn’t work anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come there is not a community for new mods to get in discussions with seasoned mods that is not adversarial? That way the newbs can learn from old guard and old guard learn from the new?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not a lemmy-wide thing, it’s on a community basis: Once a community has enough mods to require some inter-mod chat, then someone usually takes the initiative to set one up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come there is not a community for new mods to get in discussions with seasoned mods that is not adversarial? That way the newbs can learn from old guard and old guard learn from the new?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This. Most mod discussions (at least the ones I’m in) take place on Matrix

  Him, and CathodeRayDude were my immediate thoughts. Both are great, but neither do new stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there any language that doesn't have four basic directions?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Disclaimer: I don’t know, and I have no particular k owledge in this field, I’m only reasoning here…

  I think those four directions are natural to use regardless of culture, based on our senses and bodies. There are things you can see, and things you can’t, namely in front of you and behind you. And your references to the sides would naturally be your hands, where most people can distinguish right as dominant. These would serve as simple reference points in terms of directions, so the question is, if your bodies were different, for example asymetric, would our directions also be?

  Imagine of we had four ears, two forward and two back, could that result in eight basic directions? What would it take for us to have three?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there any language that doesn't have four basic directions?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still four directions, but it’s interesting that they use an absolute point of reference as opposed to the more common relative ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't I change the terms and conditions in a pre-signed contract with a corpo?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can.But the prefilled one implies they’re already OK with the terms. Adding/changing stuff requires their approval. If both parties agree to the altered version, then there’s no problem.

  I doubt they’ll allow a special case just for you, though.

  I have returned additions/corrections to employment contracts and had them accepted. My usually go to is to change the overly broad “we own all IPRs developed by you” to “we own all IPRs that come from work related tasks or as a direct furtherance thereof”. If they want to own anything I developed outside work for my own projects then that’s fine, but then they’d have to pay extra.

  This is the way. At least half of it.

  On top of that, you use umask and add a sticky bit, so that everything new will have the right group bit set - no need for a cronjob.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will Hollywood's remake of Parasite really succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That does make me slightly less pessimistic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will Hollywood's remake of Parasite really succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m having a hard time imagining that the end-result would be anything other down a watered down copy that has been focus tested to fail completely at hilighting the societal differences between the people upstairs and downstairs.

  I bet the first half would be overly goofy, and the second half more akin to slapstick. I have not a shred of belief that they’ll be able to capture tiny details such as the head of the house literally stepping over someone bleeding out (or was she already dead?) to focus on his son.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I just abandon this online identity and start over?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My knee-jerk reaction is “yes”, but keep in mind that any new identity assumed, while within the same circumstances, can be linked to your old one.

  If you want to shed your old identity, then do so. But assume a temporary one, and once you jump platform, ISP, and other identifying factors, take on a “clean” username.

  I remember seeing some movie (don’t remember the name) with a very familiar face playing a character dying from an overdose. After checking the credits, I noticed that Jim went as James Carrey back then.
