Or idk maybe people have a job where it’s useful to hone your tools? This meme doesn’t make any sense.
RAM was the last thing on my mind when I switched to a tiling WM.
That’s why I quit coffee. Tea doesn’t do that to me for whatever reason, probably just less caffeine total.
But I assume it also had something to do with high blood pressure.


I thought part of the philosophy of solarpunk was finding ways to use technology in harmony with nature. That seemed like a big theme of Scavengers Reign to me.


Does Scavengers Reign count as solarpunk?


Eh. I think bad faith usually means committing logical fallacies on purpose just to win an argument. I.e. you don’t care about the truth or a greater good, you just say anything it takes to “win”. It’s usually more deceptive than name calling.


Too bad Billionaires’ Row is already cutting out a big portion of that tax revenue with a loophole.
Same as demon. Because my research indicates that this usage was originally a reference to Maxwell’s demon.
I thought it was a reference to Maxwell’s demon.
Daemons in computing, generally processes that run on servers to respond to users, are named for Maxwell’s demon.


Provenance so you can know exactly who you are plagiarizing? Lmao
Even if you study, you might end up like him.
Definitely not from my parents. I had to teach myself in college and have been doing the same til now. Following recipes obviously helps, but also taking classes or watching YouTube is great for the more subtle points as well as making sure you’ve covered the basics.


I want to know if it’s correlated with handedness.


Or if you have like $5/mo to spend on a VPS, self-host vaultwarden. It’s compatible with the bitwarden apps and browser plugins.


The vendor/site does not need to know a name.
The idea is that people already trust the government with their identifying info. So what the government can do is issue, for example, an opaque “age ID” that is only to be used with an “over 18?” service hosted by the government. Then anyone visiting a website with age-restrictions would provide their age ID, which tells the site nothing about the user. The site checks the “over 18?” service. At no point do arbitrary websites need to collect identifying info.
Now obviously as I’ve described it, there are multiple problems:
One solution is to make the age ID into a “one time password” (OTP). Much like an authenticator app, you could have an app provided by the government which generates a new random OTP on request, and it would expire in a minute or so. Then users provide that instead of a constant age ID. Like before, the site checks the “over 18?” service using the OTP.
It’s still not perfect, but you’ll never solve the “adult buying beer for kids” trick without counterproductive measures. There are probably some additional tricks to make it better, but I don’t want to get too far into it.
EDIT: One more point. Having this “over 18?” service is itself a privacy risk, because it relies heavily on your trust in the government not to conspire with the sites you are visiting or to just log info about all of the age-restricted sites you visit. There are apparently solutions to this problem involving zero-knowledge proofs, but I don’t know quite enough to explain that entirely here.
EDIT2: I got curious and did a little more reading. The zero-knowledge proof idea kinda fails to prevent credential sharing, unless you rely on some kind of hardware cryptographic vault thing. I’m not sure if that ends up being strictly better than the service idea.
Another way you might prevent the govt from logging all of the age-restricted sites you visit is to put the service behind something like Tor to make the requesting site anonymous. But this still doesn’t prevent the govt from just knowing that you visited some age-restricted site at a specific time. Still not ideal.


I’ve started buying the frozen ramen (raw noodles) at my local asian market :)


Instant ramen is more expensive than rotisserie chicken right now.


Doesn’t happen to me on the web app.
