and hunger games is about institutional control and rebelling against it

making easier the alternatives to phone tracking means promoting life outside phones, promoting cellphones/OSes that don't spy on you and explaining ways to minimize tracking (like disabling apps' access to the internet)

making easier the alternatives to Meta means promoting competitors, promoting communication/image/information channels outside Meta, promoting life outside Meta products

defeatism is even worse than grumbles - it fulfills neither of the goals

when people suffocate in the fire from CO2 - that's concentration

and dilution helps people to not literally die from that

global warming due to CO2 levels everywhere is entirely different problem. (and if we could dilute CO2 into the space, it would also be solved, lol)

the whole technique hinges on qr scanners reading only middle point of the squares

The moment you encounter developer that thought "for redundancy let's sample the whole square" (which is a very natural thought) - it breaks

I kinda expected working the limits of error correction, honestly. Not this blunt circumvention "because it works on my machine"

it's easy to fall into complain hole, as that seems to fulfill the 1st part

but 2nd part is as much or even more valuable

it's quite possible to have more product made, thus more pollution (or less materials consumed, thus less)

but concentration definitely will rise

EITHER all points are on the same line

OR 2 of the points are on the line only for them

seeing something new vs observing same stuff many many times to do statistics

isn't it just a word for "making food", so would include grilling as well?

I was waiting for some writeup about permutation decyphering

my personal experience was that I do not have "I don't know what that is, so not allowed" as a default...

making your own OS is first and foremost a toy for basically everyone involved, both coders and audience. Nobody takes it seriously or even knows much. It's kindergarden through and through and you're being angry at kids being kids and playing role of adults

I'm disappointed but also not surprised that nobody writes drivers and basically nobody even exits QEMU onto a real hardware. Torwalds' quote about "nothing replacing Linux because writing drivers is hard" stays true
