@aral @lhinderberger You can have stability and kids and work on your FOSS projects all at the same time. You just have to give up a expensive, comfortable first-world standard of living, move to the second world, and (possibly) learn a new language. That's what I did and I've never regretted it for a moment. I would give my life for my kids; why wouldn't I be willing to learn Spanish, see graffiti out my window, step over holes in the sidewalk, and get drinking water delivered in carboys for them?

@SirShawn If a country wanted to lift the poor our of poverty they'd implement a regressive tax. 😉

@Vril_Oreilly @sj_zero The Third World has no practical infrastructure or basic rule of law. In Congo, there's no tap water to drink or power to go out. In Mexico, a $20 bribe gets you out of not having a driver's license. In Congo, goons of the warlord that passes for the local government just rape you and steal your car. -

@freepatriot The amazing part is how few people are willing to sell their sofa and learn another language to escape that future. Freedom is a plane ticket away. -

@dcc @amerika @realman543 @thor @Zergling_man Divisibility by 3 is a nice little benefit of feet. Fractions are handy in carpentry.
A liter of water (or anything similar) weighs a kilo and is 1/1000th of a cubic meter. This comes in handy more often than you'd think.
Both systems have little benefits and downsides. Mainly Celsius is dumb. -

Russian DDR is nothing but 3-stripe squat-and-kick dancing to hard bass.

@xianc78 There seems to be a good deal of devs on the fediverse. All I said to get in was "Alex seems chill". -

How have they not managed to understand that you can't trust the client after all these years? Any anti-cheat software running on the user's machine can and will be compromised. The only unbeatable anti-cheat system runs on the servers and watches everything the client sends very carefully. And even then, the difference between an aimbot and an amazing player is vanishingly thin.
The solution to online cheating, I think, is to let players blacklist being matched with other specific players. Publish the stats of how many (but not necessarily which) players every player has blocked and been blocked by. Let players set a minimums or maximums blocking, being blocked, or ratios thereof for who they are willing to match with by default. The cheaters will all end up in their own little cheater bubble, gleefully aimbotting each other.

@coolboymew Some people will go to great lengths to avoid having to learn anything new, not matter how great the advantages or bad the alternatives. -

@adiz With modern CPUs, Gentoo becomes hard to argue against. It's the only distro that lets you truly opt out of all the bloat and bullshit while still having whatever you want. The bit of work setting it up and learning to use it is offset by the savings of not having to figure out why NetworkManager keeps dropping your wifi for no reason or having to reinstall the whole OS because something when wrong trying to upgrade from Ubuntu 22 to Ubuntu 24 all the forums just say "dunno. worked for me. just reinstall like winblows." -

@DW2 I used to wonder what went on in the minds of the people who didn't desperately try to flee the Soviet Union as the wall was going up.
Now I don't. Comfortable people will do anything to delay discomfort. -

@Marshall1Banana @BigTLarrity It's like they never heard of LoD scaling. The first game must have been a fluke.
