You look for a solution and implement it.
- Comment on Voyager crew incompetence. Has Trek always been like this? 2 weeks ago:
True, but can you write each and every episode like that? Wouldn’t it get boring fast if every episode was like some super powerful force that was just a challenge because it has such higher capabilities than your own?
- Comment on Voyager crew incompetence. Has Trek always been like this? 2 weeks ago:
The problem is that the writers are normal humans.
Imagine this: let’s say the writers themselves do understand the highest level of competence. They write the Voyager crew in a way so that they handle all issues perfectly. How would it be possible for them to come up with any situation where this Voyager crew is challenged? - they can’t. Because they are portraying them as perfectly competent, which is based in the writer’s imagination, the definition of this perfect competency is that the writers could not come up with a way for them to be challenged.
Hence, when making any story like this, it is absolutely essential that the writers leave a flaw that the writers know about. Otherwise they literally would be unable to come up with any challenges. So the characters in Voyager necessarily need to be less competent than the writers.
But since the writers are average humans, the characters necessarily end up being less competent than average.
Maybe you didn’t see it before because TNG and DS9 actually taught you things, but those shows were the same. Most issues in those shows are ridiculously badly handled.
The thing is, it’s not actually that important that the characters are competent in actuality. This is where your suspension of disbelief comes in. You just have to believe for the context of the show that the characters are actually super competent. The story is mostly still valid and focuses on human growth and interpersonal relationships, which would be pretty much the same if the situations portrayed would actually be handled better. Even though the characters are not actually competent, you can act as if they are and then everything works again.
- Comment on How do industries that provide goods like lumber or livestock maintain output when their goods take a long time to develop but get used/processed in a short period of time? 2 weeks ago:
There are roughly 3 trillion trees on earth. Even if they don’t replenish, at 1000/day you need roughly 8 million years to run out.
- Comment on How do industries that provide goods like lumber or livestock maintain output when their goods take a long time to develop but get used/processed in a short period of time? 3 weeks ago:
If you need 1000 trees per day, and you plant 1000 new trees per day, guess when you run out?
- 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? 1 month ago:
You said the literal opposite of what you later explained. “Always toward the center” = direction does not change, magnitude changes.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I don’t understand the question, you seem to already know it if you can do it for men. Just do the same.
- Comment on President Trump reacts to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis: "I don't feel sorry for him" 1 month ago:
Of course not. If I grieved every person’s death, I would be constantly grieving.
- Comment on President Trump reacts to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis: "I don't feel sorry for him" 1 month ago:
Yes, I do have empathy for sick old humans. I wish Trump was safe in a nursing home or wherever, wouldn’t feel the need for constant validation and would feel loved. He’s quite obviously got massive internal struggles that make him do terrible things to feel less terrible himself, if he was doing better, I’m sure he wouldn’t do any of the things he’s doing and likely wouldn’t be president or similar.
- Comment on President Trump reacts to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis: "I don't feel sorry for him" 1 month ago:
No, why? I do not grieve for most of people’s deaths.
- Comment on President Trump reacts to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis: "I don't feel sorry for him" 1 month ago:
It’s not about respect for his actions, it’s about respect for a human being suffering. There is no real point to wish suffering on anyone, other’s suffering never helped anything except satisfy one’s vengeful fantasies/sadism. If someone is hurting others, you make them stop hurting others, but you still give them basic human respect.
- Comment on President Trump reacts to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis: "I don't feel sorry for him" 1 month ago:
People that are able to say stuff like this are exactly why we have the situation we’re having. If you can turn off your empathy for the “bad guys”, all it takes is just misidentifying the “bad guys” once, either by mistake or on purpose or by being manipulated.
- Comment on How do people make mods for games without access to the game's source code? 1 month ago:
As an extension to this, many games use interpreted languages, which makes decompilation much more easy and readable since you’re already working with a higher level programming interface.
- Comment on What's the difference between ignorance and stupidity? 1 month ago:
By that logic, everyone is extremely stupid, since it’s impossible to know everything.
- Comment on Protect consumers my ass! 🤦🏻😡 2 months ago:
Meh, the article mostly argues semantics. Sure “intellectual property” is a loaded phrase, but what is meant by the layperson is just “I made it, I should profit from it”, i.e. copyright. We’re not talking about massive corporations here and hindering right-to-repair, I’m talking to a guy who made something useful (likely software or music or whatever creative) and wants to sell it.
- Comment on Protect consumers my ass! 🤦🏻😡 2 months ago:
Stealing intellectual property is only a problem because your survival is not guaranteed without it. If you could live a comfortable life no matter what, it would be much better for the whole of humanity if your current IP was simply available to everyone.
Just imagine if all the duplicate work from competition immediately disappeared and instead everyone in whatever field just shared their insights and built on each other’s work.
Of course, that only works once everyone’s survival is not dependent on this IP concept anymore. But it should be clear that in an utopian society, IP is just stupid.

Try run decade (even years) old binaries on Linux, good luck.
I’ve actually had a case where something old didn’t work on Windows, but was fine on Linux with wine, lol
- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 2 months ago:
There’s no space for thread pattern if the area is too small.
- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 2 months ago:
Are you joking? Car wheels could theoretically have a diameter of 1 inch/3 cm and a width of 2 meters. Why do they not is the question.
- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 2 months ago:
While there is no area in the friction equation, in the real world it is nonetheless a factor. You got to remember that a larger area makes it so small patches of lower friction (sand patch or water or trash or whatever) have less of an impact. More area also gives more opportunity for the ridges in tires to displace water or grip onto gravel/dirt. While friction is the same, total traction is not.
- Comment on How do I deal with children following me around in video games? 2 months ago:
You’re supposed to be “mean” (it’s not mean at all) in this case.
Tell them to stop following you around or talking to you, nicely, exactly once.
Then, if they don’t comply, you are probably dealing with a troll who enjoys annoying people. Children especially are prone to that. You have to stop doing anything interesting for a bit, just go afk, make a tea or whatever, and wait until they get bored and move on. Then you can resume playing.
- Comment on European Commission rejects new laws for Stop Destroying Videogames 3 months ago:
Dude, it’s ok to be wrong sometimes, no one would judge you :) In fact, it’s a sign of strength to be able to admit you’re wrong, and people will like you more for it. It’ll also be good for you personally as you will be more effective in more things :)
- Comment on WOMEN. 3 months ago:
Yeah making this into a man vs woman thing is stupid, I took the original post just as a person just saying “people can have different kinds of intelligence, everything should be respected”
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Microsoft does change its API. And then Proton/Wine just changes with it.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Yeah that’s what I’m saying, the place here is a bubble of AI haters. Yet OP somehow is in it, even though they are an AI lover. They have not been fed “their” bubble, but get exposed to a different form of thinking than their own. That’s the opposite of what you said.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Doesn’t make too much sense though, because OP said they love AI. If what you said was true, then they should have experienced the bubble of AI lovers, which they don’t.
Also, it’s quite evident that Lemmy is not at all “designed to feed ‘engagement’”, yet it is prevalent here anyway. “Scaled” sorts are the default, which specifically promote the less popular opinions.
This has nothing to do with structural differences, OP simply engages with different kind of people irl and online.
- Comment on Ada Lovelace 3 months ago:
That is just wrong though. There have been plenty of reputable studies with good methodology that do show differences between the sexes.
That does not mean that one or the other is better in general, it means women and men complement each other.
It also doesn’t mean that these innate advantages/disadvantages at certain tasks are significant enough so they are impossible to overcome, there are plenty of men good at communicating or whatever, even though women are generally slightly better at it, and so on.
- Comment on How can I earn 100$ (before tax) in 24 hours? 3 months ago:
I’m not sure what you’re saying. Easy to get feet pics or easy to make money with it?
- Comment on Ada Lovelace 3 months ago:
Wait you’re telling me that women are better? So that differences between the sexes exist?
- Comment on How can I earn 100$ (before tax) in 24 hours? 3 months ago:
… no
Degenerates want to get feet pics of people they know in some way, so as long as they aren’t famous or already have some kind of following, that’s not going to work.
Random feet pics you can get at any point in time and don’t need to pay for.
