i think you need to practice your reading comprehension

similarily there’s an already existing spaceport in northern sweden, they’ve yet to actually launch something into space but it’s not that far off! no one really seems to talk about it but like, holy shit little sweden can into space!

so if i can’t paint a massive realistic dick on my house, i don’t own it? you sound like a very pleasant neighbour

it’s baffling that HOAs don’t have strict regulation on how they’re run, how it should work is like any other association: elections every X years, any member can run for positions, and operations have to be documented and transparent.

pretty sure HOAs exist everywhere, you kinda need an entity to coordinate local amenities like water pipes and roads. The problem in the US is just that HOAs can make up any arbitrary requirements they want and no one seems to give a shit.

in sane countries HOA-equivalents have pretty strict limits on what they can and cannot do, generally their ability to outright ban things is limited to extreme cases like someone painting their house magenta and lime stripes or having 8 cows in their backyard.

android with lineage on it, and configure things to limit what they can do with it.

you can get pretty close to the best of both worlds, letting them have navigation tools and whatnot while also simply not having the google play store available on the phone at all, and exposing them to a very minimal amount of data harvesting from the tech companies.

good god nothing about this article makes me want to trust it even the least bit, that video at the top feels so AI-generated and sloppy…

fuuuuuuuuck offfff with this OOO GIANT EGGS OOOO MONSTERS OOO WHAT COULD THIS BE??? bullshit, i can tolerate some clickbait but we’re at a point where these articles look like students trying to hit a word quota.

you can actually gain energy while moving upwind, it’s counterintuitive but the existence of tacking in sailing (doing a zig-zag upwind) makes it a bit easier to internalize for me.

you can gain energy while moving upwind, it makes more sense if you think about how boats can do a zig-zag to sail upwind (tacking).

i have no idea what you’re trying to say

i have great news: “male” is a mostly made up term that only applies to groups, what your ID says is just just decided by some medical staff when you were born and doesn’t actually have any bearing on how your body works.

also the actual model itself (at least some versions of it) aren’t even that china-biased, deepseek-r1 run locally can give perfectly factually accurate answers that make the chinese government look bad.

What are you on about? running deepseek-r1 locally in ollama answers “censored” topics just fine, it just answers stuff like a chinese diplomat questioned on live tv

practical minimalism, adopting it as a life philosophy has made things way easier.

for extra poignancy, have the former do the latter as a part of therapy

have you ever considered not being a dick about things? You’re not the ultimate arbiter of what’s difficult, other people experience things differently and for me the constant hashtags and the way these people write most certainly makes the dense sections difficult to parse.

Do you just like, burst into flames when you encounter dyslexic people?

lmao AI and crypto people are so predicable in their use of marketing language and hashtags, it astounds me that anyone can make sense of that word salad

Loving how these communities invariably contain the most boring visualizations possible or the most boring data you could collect

it’s this, or recognizing that you don’t actually need shampoo and can just buy a life supply of soap bars all at once and use that for washing every part of your body.

i’ve come to recognize that a big part of why i find minimalism so nice is because it brings the amount of things i need to remember down to something vaguely manageable.

like with many jobs you’re learning to only do the work that matters, and oftentimes when you can avoid doing work that actually improves the product.

There’s a reason why construction workers aren’t making their own planks and nails, that would be horribly time consuming, inefficient, and they’d probably make shitty planks.
