  • A. Plenty of programs are constantly caching, wiping, and recaching data. You’re acting like shadowplay and other programs dont already have modes which do a rolling write on your SSD. And to be clear, this isnt something you really need to worry about with most modern SSDs from reliable brands. If you have an ADATA, maybe dont use it.

    B. What about the steam mobile app is broken? Genuinely curious.



  • Did you actually read the text of the meme? The 2016 graph is to show that the electoral college can invalidate the popular vote.

    There are 155 million levers. The plurality of the levers might win, but sometimes 46% of the levers is enough to beat 48% (this happened in 2016 due to the electoral college, see above) ----> big arrow pointing to the 2016 election results


  • When there is not enough popular support for the “best party”, and revolutionary overthrow is non viable, then the “true mark of anti-fascism” is knowing when to vote for the least bad party and then continue campaigning and canvassing to pressure for better policy and candidates

    Its disgusting and it feels terrible, but (speaking broadly) if the progressive voter base leaves the a country’s primary “left leaning” party, then the party will reach instead for center right voters to fill that gap, driving the party further right.

    I won’t tell you prescriptively who to vote for, but please, give it some thought in good faith



  • Unless I’ve seriously lost what “an enterprise thing” is nowadays, I wouldnt call SPF and DKIM (and DMARC for that matter) “mostly an enterprise thing” considering:

    • They are security measures implemented by default with all freemail providers

    • Almost all mail systems will block or flag any mail which isnt at least SPF authenticated

    • Gmail and yahoo now aggressively require DKIM and DMARC to be configured in order for mail to be delivered if delivered in bulk (this is in addition to their past SPF requirements)

    • We (my company) consider it a mandatory now in 2024 to guarantee mail delivery, even for our smallest clients.

    Letter paper (8.5" x 11" | 215.9mm x 279.4mm) is kinda sorta pretty close to A4 (8.27" x 11.69" | 210mm x 297mm) so without having the two next to each other, it can seem like A4 is just a funny piece of letter, and vice versa. But to answer the actual question, USA and Canada (and apparently the phillipines???) use the “North American Standard” which is a terrifying mess in comparison to the beauty that is the ISO standard.

    Edit: typos







  • Alright, let me walk back and apologize for my performative argumentation and be extremely clear about my opinion in the shortest, most sincere way I can do this.

    • Fewer human drivers is good

    • Fewer cars on the road at all is better

    • Self driving does significantly increase the safety of roads, however increasing transit and reducing cars on the road increases safety for everyone by a larger margin

    • While selfdriving is good to reduce the number of human caused accidents, telsa’s implementation is has no secondary sensors, and no map correlation for it’s vision results

    • Even with self driving, car centric infrastructure steals valuable space that could be used for housing, transit or pedestrians

    • Ultimately, I think our disconnect is that my argumentation made it seem like I dont support both (I was really unclear, I apologize) self driving is really awesome for road safety, but on it’s own, it still means there’s generally the same amount of cars on the road. Implementation of (reliable) self driving in combination with other regulatory changes such as larger public transit investment, stricter testing regulations, stronger punishments for breaking driving laws, and more regulation on where cars are allowed will do more than self driving on its own could ever do.


  • Sorry perhaps I was unclear. (Or perhaps you willfully misinterpreted me)

    You want Tesla to create transit infrastructure?

    I don’t think Tesla should be making anything as long as the current figurehead is in charge. Transit should always be public infrastructure… Not sure how you would have thought I was advocating for privatized public transit.

    You honestly think there’s a person that exists that has done this?

    I also never intended to suggest that self driving is pushing individuals from adopting transit… Moreso that the proverbial carrot of “fewer road accidents thanks to self driving” is likely to prevent regulators from taking the note effective steps of:

    • reducing the number of drivers on the road with stricter testing and enforcement of road laws
    • providing an alternative for those who can no longer drive via larger investment in public transit infrastructure

    I understand it might not feel that way, but it’s the actual truth, we have massive amounts of data on this, and your feelings don’t outweigh that.

    Yep. And fewer cars overall makes pedestrians safer as well. You dont want human drivers, I dont want cars
