- Comment on What's inside the London Tower Bridge? 5 weeks ago:
Stairs on one side, an elevator on the other and a museum dedicated to the bridge. The two towers are linked by the decks and they both have glass floors. It’s a pretty cool sight to do in London.

It’s pretty amusing that this game went from over hyped to an absolute dumpster fire to probably one of the best space games ever made. One hell of a comeback story.

- Comment on Do folks managing servers mainly do so via command-line interfaces? 8 months ago:
Using a command line interface is muche easier most of the time compared to a GUI. One of the reasons I can think of is that it’s easier to cram a lot of options inside of commands than it is to make an interface for them. You can have a look at nmap for instance, the menus inside the gui are clunky and fairly hard to read. Another advantage of the cli is that you can use it for scripting which is part of the basic skills of many sys admins. For a lot of treatments (like CSV files) it’s also much faster to pipe commands together than to go through Excel for instance. It can be intimidating at first but the man pages and sometimes a bit of internet research can go a long way.

m.imdb.com/title/tt0098320/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk - Comment on How are slavery reparations fair? 8 months ago:
I don’t know exactly how to answer you, but the effects of colonization and slavery are still felt today in many former colonies. For instance, a lot of countries were created on a map with a pencil and a ruler without any regards for ethnic groups or culture, which is why there are so many straight lined borders all around the world, this created instabilities and conflicts within the countries. Many of them were also decolonized, pretty much overnight (the colonizers left, without organising elections or handing over the country to newly formed local authorities), which left them completely disorganised. I don’t have an opinion specifically on reparation, but colonization and slavery left durable scars in countless countries around the world, and they are still felt to this day, with very little chance of ever healing.
- Comment on "Extreme bargains" during crisis era 9 months ago:
Also somewhat related, Manufacturing Consent by Chomsky and Herman. It shows the role of the media in creating a narrative to skew public opinion regardless of facts. It’s terrifying and fascinating.
