There is certainly something to be said about people asking for someone to fix something rather than fixing it themselves.

It wasn’t exactly hard to just comment on the image what was said. Multiple people pretty much did this.

Disengage.

“Allow harm”

Harm was going to happen no matter what you do in the trolley problem. There is no situation where harm does not happen, but there is a situation where you directly are causing harm.

If you give 100 different variations of the problem, I’ll answer 100 different ways, because 100 different questions were asked. Almost none of them actually having a real world application, because there are very few situations in life where a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc option does not exist.

Personally, if I could go the rest of my life without hearing about the trolley problem that’d be great actually.

I don’t remember the trolley problem being a question with a right and a wrong answer.

How can you tell? It’s such a simple design.

Why not? You (usually) just click the check box during install, and you have 1 extra password when you boot up your system. Doesn’t seem too hard but I might be missing something.

It depends on the quality you’re looking for. Data hoarders often keep really really high quality files so they can convert it into whatever they want later on.

A 4k remux can range from ~30gb-80gb. That’s ~200 4k movies assuming most are around 50gb.

A 48khz .flac music album is ~500mb. That’s not alot but music makes sense to save locally, plenty of people just keep their music going all the time on shuffle.

Streaming TV is always something different, so, no point in storing it

There is no point not storing it, you’re going to use the data either way, why not keep it? At the end of the day, you can get 20tb of storage for a reasonable amount of money, and typically the people with that kinda storage have accumulated it over the course of several years. You can always decide to get rid of stuff you don’t need if you find yourself low on space.

On my own, I can somewhat regularly use 1tb of internet data in a month and I’m not even a data horder. I always keep a tv on in the background (which these days usually means streaming stuff). I also stream music pretty frequently.

Its not at all unrealistic these days for someone over the course of 2+ years to get 20tb of data all in one place. And if thats media that gets accessed frequently (like music) it probably saves bandwidth and energy storing it that way.

There are many internationals out there, and many parties which are members of them. Find one you like, join the party/section/branch/whatever that corresponds with the one you like most.

Some notable ones that are geared towards ML tendencies:

(more maoist) ICOR - icor.info

(The one APL is part of) CIPOML - cipoml.net

(The one CPUSA is part of) IMCWP - solidnet.org

(The one PSL is part of) IPA - ipa-aip.org

Disagree, lots of people deserve to die like that, and in much more graphic ways.

I’ll pass on further debate, thank you for understanding! <3

I’m gonna be honest, its been so long since I’ve actually had people to set it up and use it with that even I would need to spend a day and a half figuring out how to set it up again.

It seems for the last 5 years or so, Ubuntu has done a good job of making everyone hate them.

I less have an issue with people getting trapped in software they understand is insecure, and more with people who will push shit like telegram and pretend its the most private and secure thing ever invented. If they want to use discord, sure, fine with me. As long as they know not to do their activist work on discord I’m fine with it. People doing activist work/planning over telegram will never make me not cringe.

Signal isn’t something I personally want to use, but its tolerable, and it was doing a good job of replacing telegram in activist spaces I felt, but I’ve recently seen a few different groups using telegram again because they don’t trust signal.

xmpp with omemo is what I wish I could get people to use but uh, well, that just will never happen.

I have (for the last 24 hours) heard so many people say linux is dropping 32 bit support.

Some (most) distros have dropped support for 32 bit, and firefox stopped providing a 32 bit version for linux, but the kernel still very much supports 32bit. I believe there recently were some talks of cutting out some niche functionality for certain 32bit processors, but I’ve not heard anything about actually gutting 32bit support from the kernel.

Idk, I’m probably too invested in this. Internets got me going nuts. I should prolly touch grass.

God, is it really that bad these days?

I should start posting screenshots of unreal engine games @640x480 70% resolution scale that I’ve tweaked into ultra potato mode, only to be able to play them at 24fps. 😅 I enjoy them too!

Full agreement from me.

I think its great that your hardware works for you! My point was more concerning people who encounter an issue with older hardware (ie a driver that is no longer included in the kernel, people on 32bit systems, people on low memory systems, etc) being told to “just upgrade”.

https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/

“The legacy 32-bit PC (i386) architecture is supported only as a co-architecture for running 32-bit software on amd64”

You can’t just install 32bit debian anymore.

Granted, bookworm will be supported for a while still.

Some distros do call their 32bit version i386.

Debian did drop 32 bit support. (although some 32 bit packages will exist)
