The problem is, large parts of each country are supporting their government in what they’re doing.

You’re absolutely right, but the average person does not think like you. Most people don’t ever think about stuff like this.

And so you currently have a very “high-level”, rational view of technology, that makes it amazing specifically for you.

However, you either disregard or lack contact with people that are (vastly) different. When looking at a technology in relation to the world, like you want to know about in this topic, you have to view the effects on those different people from you as well. And what other people in this thread said is simply observable and happening. A very small percentage uses the internet/technology like you do. The overall effect on the population is not solely amazing.

You’re saying they’re looking for an excuse to shut down? Yeah honestly that’s what I figured, locking comments doesn’t make any sense otherwise.

After the call for admins, there was never an indication that the search wasn’t going well. Honestly, I would’ve put some time in (& I’m sure many others would’ve) if we’d known closure was imminent.

Exactly the same, just that I don’t use a screen protector either.

This thing has been dropped so much that I think it’s just undestroyable, the new Nokia 3310

Also I don’t think it’s worth the effort to teach my parents yet another messaging app, like signal.

My friend, just set up Signal on their phones, put it in place of the Telegram app and watch them not even notice anything changed.

The JIT compiler of Java does the optimization you’re talking about. So that advantage of C++ is not really there.

You can compile C++ for all architectures you want as well. The reason you don’t normally use Java for clients is that the garbage collector runs at undefined times, causing stuttering. This has been rectified through new algorithms though, so the real reason why you don’t wanna use Java is because it simply doesn’t have the best tooling and libraries that C++ has, no Unreal engine and no Godot.

Why the fuck would you go for Backend in C++ and frontend in Java 🤣 just the wrong way around

Actually, we see the world in

Of course there’s a best solution… it’s whatever you end up with

Why do you have to reduce it to one? Isn’t it simply all at the same time to varying degrees?

Even with the external mind it’d be irrelevant. As long as we have no way of knowing the future or being able to predict it, having or not having free will is observed in exactly the same way.

Kerbal Space Program with mods. Cities:Skylines with mods. Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. Dota 2 (I would be playing against and programming my own bots for it). Trackmania with all current maps

I’m the other way around, I absolutely do not care about charging speed at all.

My phone is on the charger at night. If it charges in less than 6 hours or so, I literally wouldn’t notice a difference ever. Battery always lasts for at least a day.

For the markings, I’ve seen such a small cart that just had an adjustable wheel on a pole at the side. Since the pole was fixed length, they just kept the wheel near the outer road border and thus kept the distance always the same, keeping the marking in the middle.

I mean I was just giving a simple refute to the guy that said all is good if “no one” is harmed, not really debating perfect systems in society. Basically this

Almost always something “bad” happens though, someone is harmed… Someone rapes someone, you jail that person -> the rapist is harmed. Is it a bad process? Of course not.

It’s not about not harming anyone, it’s about harming the right people. Who we harm in what case is what almost all political discourse is about.

Honestly, why not ask Discord support? It’s literally their problem they’d want to fix most likely :D

If you use it in the web version, I have LULs, a script which makes all Lemmy links that point to a different instance which you encounter while browsing, to point to your instance.

True. What happens if you don’t do the other thing you’re avoiding right now?
