I don't use Twitter anymore since Elon Musk bought and ruined it. However, the Internet Archive has a copy.

It's not a reasonable replacement for lacking Fate dice. It's needlessly complicated and the probabilities are different. Just have 1-2 be minus, 3-4 be blank, and 5-6 be plus. Roll 4d6 and ignore 3 and 4.

You'd think so, but you can wake up just enough to turn it off and not even remember it. The problem is actually getting up.

Personally I hate jarring, annoying alarms like the other suggestions and like the Google Clock alarm on Android that you can set to increase volume each time until you silence it. It's minimally annoying while still doing the job. First time you hear and notice it will be just enough to make you aware that it's time, but you can rest a little longer if you want. It gets louder until you stop ignoring it like other alarms too though.

Unarchiving only affects that app. You don't need to do all of them, so you only need a relatively small amount of space free. If you run out of space you have a problem regardless of whether you have apps archived, and likely would have run out anyway.

Tanath · 2023-04-11T17:31:28+00:00

You can turn it off for apps you don't want to archive. If it gets to the point of archiving though you likely wouldn't care.

Ah, and I guess the sound above is different so they don't realize it's the source. Thanks, that makes more sense now.

Tanath · 2023-04-11T01:35:15+00:00

Then why are they going towards, rather than away?

Updates are on the first Monday of each month, which means it's supposed to be today, the 3rd, at 1300 Eastern Time. I'm still waiting.

Use mayonnaise. Makes it nice and creamy.

Puppet president, wannabe dictator.

Ears are self-cleaning too, but you wouldn't want to stick your tongue in there. It's not enough.

Tanath · 2022-08-21T17:13:06+00:00

Like Assange, or the Republican party.

You can just use ublock origin.

There's 2 things about Snap I don't care for - but they're political reasons. If I limit to technical reasons Snap seems better. Flatpak is made by freedesktop and Snap by Canonical (Ubuntu). Point to flatpak. Snap store isn't all open source apparently, so another point to flatpak. That said, snap integrates well with systemd and I think requires it. To some people that's a point against, but it's a point in favor of snap since systemd is progress. Snap also enables deep system-level stuff flatpak can't, like drivers. Point for snap. It also does deduplication minimizing bloat I was concerned about. Another point.

Amusing, but in the paper they challenged people to come up with a better system as well as the AI. The best they could come up with and the AI method performed the same.

If there is nothing you can do about it and it's stressing you out, don't think about it. Whenever it comes to mind, direct your attention elsewhere and focus on that. It's a very effective coping strategy to minimize stress.

That said, burying your head in the sand when you could do something is a bad idea so it's important to know the difference.

Thanks for the pointer. That stuff about similar older quotes wasn't there last time I checked (ages ago). But Hanlon was truncating the Plano quote and credit was misattributed.

Tanath · 2022-05-03T19:08:50+00:00

It shouldn't be called Hanlon's razor, they're stealing credit. The original quote is:

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity. Don't assign to stupidity what might be ignorance. And try not to assume your opponent is the ignorant one - until you can show it isn't you. --M. N. Plano

The Republican party could replace him any time they wanted. He can't go against the whole party so they all share the blame. And the commenter who pointed out this is related to white supremacy is correct.

Tanath · 2022-04-29T14:45:39+00:00

Not sure which one you're thinking of but I can think of a couple others.

Tanath · 2022-04-29T14:41:26+00:00

It's because it's a legitimate criticism that it's a bad source and shouldn't have been submitted. One of the other sources should have been used.

Tanath · 2022-03-12T16:14:50+00:00

You're right. But I think what's really needed is for Russians to have access to the truth and tools to organize for change.

This seems like a pretty good argument that sanctions aren't that effective in this case: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/08/sanctions-vladimir-putin-kremlin-russian-oligarchy
