  • Oh SpaceX core business including their numbers are amazing, I agree! But they also disclosed the whole AI stuff, including the madness of “inference in space” - the physics is then only one search away. … PayPal was really cool and solved problems as well - and so did Tesla!

    I think Musk is like a reverse Midas, eversthing he touches becomes shit for everyone else :/

    SpaceX was by far the biggest exciting development in the last years for me … There’s still hope I’ll be wrong though - hoping for it!

    If there are any plans I don’t know but what I can tell you is that there’s currently no way to circumvent these “restrictions” - because there are none.

    Although from a user perspective it feels like something got taken away from Wayland perspective it’s the other way arou d: screensavers want rights that Wayland simply doesn’t provide to any user space application.

    A screensaver needs to track user interaction globally (for the timeout), overlay over existing apps, manipulate viewport properties, manage the session and similar things, depending on the details.

    Depending on what you want there might be ways to hack something together though.

    Then there’s of course the disclaimer that although I’m not ab LLM my training data (aka experience) might be out of date :D






  • First off:

    Good luck! You’ll get through this ❤️

    I’m not claiming I went through a situation like your sentence implies in that extreme, my advice comes from a bit less drastic situation - and I’ll assume no safety net.

    The hard truth: you are broke. Not in the future, right now. Treat your money like it. If you can’t pay rent in a few months time you can’t now. Same for all other invoices.

    Reason: shit has hit the fan already. Now you’re standing there and wondering which the biggest piece will be to hit you.

    If you start with that today then you’ll stretch the time out overall.

    Your job is threfold: priority one: reduce spending to near zero. Short term survival beats anything. Including and especially credit score and the likes. The details depend on your situation, laws and standards.

    The second is even harder: What can you do to increase cash income? This is a shitty situation and your reaction most likely is “well, yes. Of course dumb fuck what do you think I’m doing??”.

    I can fully emphasize if it is. That said: I’m not only talking about applications. Use your social circle to ask for help, both money and job. Reach out to former colleagues or school friends. Use everything and everyone you have in your environment.

    The last part is the easiest but very annoying: read your local laws and statutes. What social security structures exist? What are eviction regulations? What about late payment terms? Re education sponsorship? And so on. Most countries have at least something but it’s often hidden in highly formal bullshit. Get your shovel and dig through legalese. And if you can’t do that: the second point automatically applies here as well.




  • Orwell is a child of his time though. If I recall correctly he went to Spain to report on the conflict (civil war) and was so shocked(?) that he volunteered to fight against the literal Nazis. Then getting told “put down your weapons” is the context I read into this quote.

    Or to take your example: it’s about someone telling you to not fight back instead of helping safe others.

    While I agree with you in times of peace and between individuals it’s more nuanced: when physically under attack your options shrink.

    This is the part where this quote holds true in my opinion: When you’re confronted with a situation that already turned violent. Or, worse for me personally, I’d there is no shared common value system.

    How do you mediate with someone who not only is willing to kill but has the conviction that it’s the only right thing to do?

    And I don’t mean that as a rhetorical question, I have no idea … And my own moral compass is fucked up by now and spinning in circles.


  • Or is the quintessential immutability.

    Yes.

    It’s also a completely different way to handle … everything.

    Do not think about nixos if you want to know what to try for gaming.

    Do look at it id you want to learn the ins and outs of … Well, to be honest nixos. But I’ve learned a lot about standard paths that everyone expects to be there and hell’s loose if they aren’t.

    Python runs amok if it can’t write into it’s beloved lib folders, nginx is utterly confused why it can’t generate certificates on startup (read only folders), deployment dependencies are absolutely visible - and if you fick up the whole system just goes “nah, take a step back and think about what you just did”.

    I’m now pushing two years on my server and I’m still not sure if I’d recommend it - but I for sure enjoy it!


  • That’s sich a Mac answer it’s unbelievable.

    Describing “A project aimed to be agnostic of it’s environment” as a design mistake and not a inherent flaw of the OS is… Just wow.

    Remember in this thread it’s about the pro and con of Macos as interference hardware. This is a major flaw which comes baked into the hardware. I tested it and find it an unacceptable limitation. It’s important for others to know.

    To state “containerization is the issue” though… Just wow.



  • To support what others have said: even precum can get you pregnant.

    It’s not that “pull out is a tad unreliable” - it is horrible and the failure quota is ridiculously high. And that’s only pregnancy, not even considering the whole disease fun you’re signing up for. With a bit of bad luck that’s a lifetime of annoying medication, no a few weeks.

    This means from my point of fire in order of urgency:

    A) First of all: stranger, feel loved 🤗 I find it awesome that you have he courage to ask this question!

    B) get plan B. It’ll suck if you’re reacting but that’s only a week or two.

    C) Review your sexual habits: if you’re into spontaneous drunk sex figure out a reliable protection that you don’t have to think too much about. If it’s with strangers there’s no way around a condom in addition if you don’t want to take something for your hepathitis or HIV for the rest of your life. If it’s people you know and trust then something “just” against pregnancy is enough. If it’s a mix of both I suggest getting a baseline protection that you don’t have to think about in the heat of the moment and condoms as preventative plan B for the cases where you’re not too sure.

    It sounds like a cliche but it’s true: The more the dude resists protection the more you’ll need it. After all it will be you who’ll be alone with the consequences. You’re worth more than a few fun moments for some dick!
