Reality is not a stage. Real world actions have real consequences.

Even if it is a character, he thinks playing it out in real life is an acceptable thing to do and does it. If you express facism you are a fascist. Same bad.

A narrow focus on mars at all cost says much more about the other parts of his narcissism and general intelligence.

Is there a centralised rule controlling organization (state) Does that organisation have a monopoly on violence?

If yes, that organisation/state is authoritarian. People have to abide to their will and dissenting to hard will be punished.

The implication that “games as a service” is somehow a positive for game preservation is its own kind of illiteracy.

Its a completely different form of entertainment, way more similar to watching tv.

The main difference is you dont need to plan or think yourself, your mind can take a break just following whats going on. This can be much more restfull and relaxing.

Compare that to activity playing the game and your using much more energy, your brain is calculating every interaction you have to make. It can be stressful at times. A mistake can feel like lost time but an accomplishment gets you a high you will never get when backseat gaming.

Completely different and up to personal preference on how people like to spend their downtime.

This is how science fiction is made! Special Meta materials are very under-explored, It seems reasonable that in a future high tech society they would be increasingly common.

Mostly we get “faster engines” and “advanced computermachines that sometimes perform unexplained magic”

Can we make liquids like that? Sounds useful in some situations.

It already looked like bottom on first glance, The shadows and light seem to verify it.

Your example is about physical goods.

Software is at its core just digital information a computer can use.

Knowledge/Information (that is not personal information) should be free.

You can make a argument that software developers still must sell copies of their code to make a living but if you look at the reality of software that appears to simply be some kind of bias. You can make software that is free and still make a living they are just not always related.

The software that runs the world’s infrastructure is increasingly FOSS, from critical cybersecurity to vending machines. Even big corporations are increasingly getting involved in using and making open source components for their proprietary fronts.

As a linux user everything i need can be done legally with free software, not only is it free is most of the times vastly superior then a paid product.

Ever needed software on windows to find the installer got bundled with spyware and then the final program turns out to be a trial before Requiring a subscription? That is only because they need to make money.

On linux, you install it, it’s only the thing you actually need, and it works. No bloat, no enshitification. Some person or group realized there was value to be created, created it and as a result the entire world won collectively.

I have a few products of my own that i hope to publish some day and i already vouched to never make them proprietary, My dad called me insane not to try to profit. I call it nothing but ethical to make the best value for humanity that i can. My very common office job provides enough liveable wage and work/life balance for my family and still find time to do such.

Agreed, just use common sense to judge wether or not other people then yourself may understand the semantics and context of written information works pretty well. /s

Am I confused on why people are overcomplicating the math and adding assumptions to a clear given.

• 60 applications a day.

• Half of them (30) buy something.

• Makes 300 per day.

• They must make $10 per vending customer.

We can safely ignore operating costs and sementics to conclude this is massive ragebait.

Is that really considered hardcore?

I follow some local news and i have a list of video content creators i download with a script but other then that its just the Lemmy verse for me.

For an mmo game that was released 2 decades ago and has a large established userbase, the main thing left to do to continue being a good game is organising events for continued engagement.

Considering historic mens clothing the latter isn’t implausible.

Humans:

• Takes all the fish for themselves
• has bussiness dump to birds perfectly edible but to humans not commercially pretty enough fish bits in the trash.
• builds apartments on the gulls original habitat

“wHy Do ThESe SEaguLl KeEP STEalinG FrOm Us”

I also grew up at the coast and yes they are a menace. But as the saying goes fuck around, find out.

Imagine if we restored and maintained the habitat and did a daily collection of fish waste to dump near that habitat.

Are you suggesting that a guide on how to leave youtube should be elsewhere?

Thats like requiring to pass an exam to get access to the textbook.

As a pedestrian this would be huge and make me feel so much safer.

I heard there where many people that did not like him but after Kes left i actually grew quite fond of him.

I don’t really know but i started with and loved Voyager, i got recommended thats its a big more modern then next generation series.

The events of Voyager and deep space 9 also happen at a same time so i planned to move to ds9 next.

I always liked the idea of being a tree like life form.

My apologies, i thought your reply was against @Xartle s comment.

They basically said the addition protection is not necessary because common security measures cover it.
