I am all for eradicating the mosquito pest but there is no way a study is going to cover all possible impacts of removing them from existence. Anyone claiming to do so is just drunk on hubris.

That would be sweet but I have never come across such a thing unfortunately!

That’ll teach him to fly illegal flags, hope he gets hard labour otherwise society is doomed.

I don’t trust LLMs to do tldrs for me and it certainly doesn’t provide a rich nuance or spark discussions like asking a human would do.

(I say that with 7 comments in the thread lol but you get my point I’m sure)

Good question! It is hard to find off-hand examples on English YouTube admittedly but below screenshot is representative of the kind of opinions you see brandished on Israeli media regularly and cheered on in Telegram channels. For context, Ofira Asayag is a major TV personality in Israel.

Edit: ‘moderate’ Israeli podcasters openly calling for erasing of all life in Gaza, asserting what they called “typical opinions” across the nation.

Nah you’re good mate, I take your point. ‘Only’ 10-15% of problem drinkers go on to develop cirrhosis and not a hundred percent of them will go on to trash their livers. You also make a good point about heart transplants not being denied to the obese for example. Today I learnt.

Any source on your assertion of 85% of liver transplants not being due to alcohol? May it be because people with livers blown due to alcohol use would be at the bottom of any transplant list?

Every day the Butlerian Jihad looks more and more enticing.

But I thought anything I don’t like is terrorism and they only hate us for our freedoms?

Joking aside, I find it hard to debate someone seriously when they still greedily lap up horseshit like that.

I seed so others may leech.

Distribution ensure integrity of data. Let’s say we sign a contract, cryptographically sign it and all that good stuff but then oh no, where we stored your contract went up in fire and now I don’t have to honour that contract. (contrived example I know)

To be fair my Windows experience was far simpler than Linux, if less fulfilling. What got me was a combination of constant attacks on privacy, W11 and the enshittification of the UI as well as general Microsoft corporate tomfoolery (have dealt with them for work, not a fan of their monopolistic EEE tactics).

So apparently, a brain daydreaming or one fully immersed in a complex activity don’t exhibit that much difference in energy usage, only consuming around 100 calories extra a day for mentally challenging activities.

IDF committing acts it is accusing others of? Well I never, what kind of a world has it come to when you cannot take the Israeli Defence Force at their word.

The problem with capitalism is that power and wealth concentrates in the hands of a few insiders, so let’s in fact concentrate all that wealth and power into one central bureaucracy to be controlled by a few insiders and back it up with full force of the state. Real smart idea.

Commercial detection systems exist already although I couldn’t vouch for their efficacy. How they will integrate with streaming however is another question.

I for one am excited for this phase of the cat & mouse game, as solving this challenge means keeping the monkey off our backs for good while longer.

Let the games begin.

me too but you were brave enough to ask

If you’re comfortable running Docker, check out net probe. It comes with an all in one logging/graphing stack that will probe your internet quality based on lag and packet loss. Default configs is good enough to get you going and you can tinker to your heart’s content from there. Probably won’t play Black Sabbath automatically though unfortunately!

You will probably hear a lot of hate about Manjaro but I absolutely love it. I have an AMD/nvidia laptop (possibly one of the worst combinations to have according to legend) and Manjaro ended up being the most stable distro for me. It is Arch adjacent but comes with sane defaults. Then I found my-laptop specific kernels and now I am in heaven. Uptime is at 21 days but still buttery smooth 165Hz KDE6 Wayland goodness every time I use it.

I felt the exact same how you do now, once I got it up and running how I liked it, I (almost) never booted Windows again.
