Yes, I watched the extended versions many times.

Why not go full data nihilist and say that every file is just a natural number expressed in binary.

I feel like it's mostly shitposting but soon enough there will be a more formal competition. Possibly with a standardized VM and local package cache.

She's creating the opportunity to take it to SCOTUS where they will make the appointment of any future Special Counsel illegal. The intent is not to be consistent and it doesn't have to make sense. Hell, it's even better if it doesn't make sense because this erodes the judiciary's legitimacy; two birds, one stone.

Americans are in very very deep trouble but they don't seem to care. The worst part is that the rest of the world will be dragged down with them.

WTF. Is the abstract concept of "competition" more important than weaning out of fossil fuels in order to keep Earth habitable for humans?

I find this mindset doubly crazy because the USA grants a ton of subsidies to oil companies.

China's government is horrible for a myriad reasons but this instance of concern trolling is just blatant pro-oil and pro-capital propaganda. The USA is antagonizing China for the wrong reasons and from the outside, their alleged motivations look stupid and petty.

It's immensely disheartening to see the supposed "leader of the free world" acting in such a dumb way in the face of an impending catastrophe.

The point is that the footage we see is part of the in-universe propaganda, so we have no reason to assume it's true.

Once again proving that even fictional propaganda is highly effective.

Yeah, I feel like oop reached the wrong conclusion after this. Apple treats its consumers as if they were mindless children and they (for some reason) love it. Just look at the whole "green texts" issue, for example.

Some manufacturers found a smart workaround but the apple brainrot is stronger, I guess.

Germany didn't disconnect the genocide battery, they just changed the polarity.

My experience is that just seeding what you like indefinitely is not useful. You have to be proactive and find popular torrents to seed and accrue any meaningful upload amount.

The tracker I use has a bonus point system to encourage all seeders even of unpopular releases but it's slow.

I found that the perfect solution for my use case (music) ended up being Soulseek. I don't have much money for seedboxes or buying extra storage so I feel like I'm priced out of private trackers.

I think the main pro of this system would be that it requires no trust. The immutability would be actually a con for privacy: if you're burned or doxxed later, there would be hard evidence of your identity in the blockchain.

Besides, solar photocells have a limited lifetime. Recycling them is possible but expensive so people just make new ones instead. Kind of like plastics if you think about it.

What? 7 million people died from COVID-19. How many more would it have been without all the safety measures?
