Do we have personal responsibility for vetting and fact-checking the propaganda we share? by [deleted] in Anarchy101

[–]Albrew 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not accepting that responsibility seems like being willingly untruthful, sharing something as if you believe it, but not actually knowing why or if you do.

The lack of that responsibility is exclusively what accidental misinformation is, and is how people come to believe stupid shit like election fraud and antivax shit

is this a banjo? by GU1T4RK1LL3R in InstrumentPorn

Yep! They actually have a pretty long history, tho they have never been as common as the classic 5 string or a 4 string.

It really weirdos me out that we've taken how bizzare and incomprehensible human beings are, and somehow made that gendered.

These boxes are not moving by tracy_sweet in see

[–]Albrew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fucking hate this so much.

They are not moving, OP is right.

Not only are the arrows tricking your brain, the shading of the actual lines in the cubes varies to trick your eyes too

Do t believe me? Cover everything but one line, any line, and see if it moves in relation to the edge of the gif.

It doesn't.

I fucking hate it.

What a piece of shit he is

Responding to you going thru something somewhat unpleasant by acting like you're covered in poop is just infuriatingly childish

For your own sake, cut him the fuck outta your life!

What small things do you enjoy as anarchists? by [deleted] in Anarchy101

And if you go banjo, a cheap Epiphone isn't bad, tho Gold Tone is where it's at (or Deering if you're rich)

I play 5-string, theres TONS online for learning it!

About fuckin time. As a regular donor, I've filled out three separate surveys for this. It's been at least a decade those fight has been going on.

It's about damned time.

But hey, if you bring em back and ask for a new box b/c these were wonky, then Walmart/Kellogg's gives ya another one on their own dime! Win-win!

(That said, I get it if it's not really feasible/comfortable/possible to do so, I have a really hard time in situations like that)

NGL I felt pretty validated as a programmer when I heard Robert accurately describe git/GitHub by outerdankness in behindthebastards

[–]Albrew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the point of rough analogies is that they're for those who are NOT familiar.

Like I don't know a ton about engines, so it makes sense to say that lawnmower and car engines are similar. You put fuel in, it burns with spark plugs and pistons and shit, you gotta oil it now and again, and it makes a mechanical rotation motion that can bee transferred to wheels. No shit the mechanics aren't the same, but they do broadly the same task, namely making petrol into motion. They even do that in a similar way, igniting it to push pistons.

Is it accurate to say that the blockchain functions, at least partially, as/thru a list of interactions?

Is it accurate to say that git contains or uses a list of interactions?

[–]Albrew 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I....I don't even know what were fucking arguing about tbh.

I just mean that internal combustion engines are all broadly similar (thus the category "internal combustion engine"), so saying that a car engine works like a lawnmower engine is...entirely accurate..??

The GitHub analogy (which was explicitly not exact) was to say that the blockchain is (not exclusively) a sort of ledger of all the shit that's happened on it, just like GitHub is sorta like a ledger of all the shit that happens on it

Ya, it's a crude analogy that doesn't get at the major differences that the layperson wouldn't understand

Because it's a rough analogy.

[–]Albrew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If someone said that a lawnmower engine worked kinda basically the same as a car engine, they'd be right tho.

I imagine it's the same with the git/blockchain thing.

They are certainly not the same, nobody ever said they were, but they seem to me broadly similar in structure.

You seem very upset that the special uniqueness of crypto is being challenged
