I think maybe you should think through why you feel that way, though. Surely you could decide to go out and be social because you would like to make new friends or be entertained. You're here, writing out your thoughts, so you're able to reflect and decide on actions.

What evidence are you basing the idea that your drive comes from your libido? There are a lot of people out there with low or no libidos who have accomplished a ton.

Why are you focusing on libido as the source of creativity to the exclusion of a lot of other potential drivers?

This is what I am saying: the focus seems odd and creepy without lots of evidence for your reasoning.

"it is what it is"? (I don't know latin.)

This view seems, to me, to be really sex-focused in kind of a creepy way that ... if you ask me, might have something to do with denying basic urges.

You can go out into the world looking for connections that are not sexual.

I'm glad I served. On the trial I was on three young men could have easily seen their lives destroyed because of shitty cops and a shitty prosecutor.

I will never forget having to explain reasonable doubt repeatedly to more than one other juror in deliberations.

Please, don't skip jury duty.

Yes.

Read up on jury nullification.

While there are no laws for the wealthy, not sure why the rest of us are supposed to be held to them.

You cannot trust clients to even report reality about what hardware they're running on.

Not to mention all the potential cheats that can be done at the input level.

There is no valid client-side approach that is worth the wasted dev time and cpu cycles.

All of that focus should be where you have an actual chance of controlling your execution environment and inputs so you can do anti-cheat on trusted hardware: the server.

Client-side anti-cheat is a lie that makes your computer less secure.

No thanks.

Anti-cheat belongs on the vendor's hardware, not our untrusted client CPUs.

Meanwhile Trump and the GOP are paying a french company $1B to stop an offshore wind project with a supposed promise to instead invest in fossil fuels.

So piss our tax money away to a foreign company in the hopes they're going to invest in last century's tech.

It is always 🤡 shit with conservatives.

~~They have changed course, thankfully:~~

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41179

edit: my mistake, I saw this briefly earlier today and thought it had been merged, not just closed.

 

Been working on a personal project to create community software that's deployable as a single image with no external dependencies (eg: no need to set up a db).

I've made a lot of progress, but am feeling technically lonely.

I would love it if there were anyone else out there with interests in open source, community and maybe some experience with the following tech that's maybe also looking for some comradery:

  • UX/UI
  • HTML/CSS
  • Cross-platform apps
  • Typescript

You can check the code out here to help decide if you're interested: https://andyburke.dev/andyburke/autonomous.contact

Fair warning: This project is still in the prototyping phase and isn't recommended for anyone other than a developer who's looking to help out. Additionally, there's currently no ActivityPub support, though federation is an eventual goal - if you know ActivityPub, I'd love to talk.

Ps. I am pretty bad at reaching out to people and I am not sure if this is the best way to find connection. If this isn't the right place, please let me know and I'll remove this.

 
 

[Jury Nullification] is when the jury in a criminal trial gives a verdict of not guilty even though they think a defendant has broken the law. The jury's reasons may include the belief that the law itself is unjust

Until the wealthy and powerful are held to account, why punish your fellow everyday citizens? Use your brain. Decide if what they're charging people with is suppression or actually keeping society safe.

When those prosecutors start losing these cases, maybe they will start to rethink who they are focusing on.

 

... at least how it'd be for me.

 

I saw other reports in the recent call for problems of errors around searching, but this seems, to me at least, to be reproducible.

edit: to be clear, this is using fedia.io - I am not sure if this bug affects mbin/kbin more generally, I've only tested on fedia.io.
