The tech industry is uniquely qualified as
one of the most important components of the modern industrial complex
which requires highly skilled labor to undertake and utilize
which is affected by the dynamic where:education, especially liberal arts
education, tends to produce humans who can see through the lies of authority
yet which is disadvantaged because:tech workers are paid salaries that are
just bonkers in relation to their output ("yeah it'll be done compiling once
this game of League of Legends finishes") (which isn't exactly unfair because
programming is taxing on the brain)
however, the game industry has shown that passion is a suitable exchange in
return for monetary compensation, and thereforepeople who make games tend to
be more leftist, as they are put in situations that higher paid employees are
likely to be able to ignore due to their higher social class
which kinda makes sense, because the most progress towards unionization is
happening in the games industry.

I find that peer support groups are usually better for venting. At least, I
feel less guilty doing it. With a therapist I am always trying to focus on
actionable things and usually that means downplaying my emotions, which means
they pay less attention to me and assume my issues aren't that bad... "you
seem to be doing fine so we can schedule you for biweekly now? every two
weeks?" meanwhile I'm nursing suicidal tendencies, and said so, but apparently
if I'm not crying then it's fine... >.>
but with peer groups it's like, yeah they get it. and if one person's crying,
everyone else feels more open to crying about their stuff.
sorry for venting. I'm definitely in a MH- mood today.

I have between one and ten hundred visits to my website every day, but I don't
really post it anywhere new anymore. I also have zero followers on Neocities.
On Mastodon, I have ~70 followers, most of whom are inactive. Seventy is a
good amount, a normal amount, a reasonable amount, an unsuspicious amount, and
yet every time I see someone wearing the colors I can't help but wonder if
they know me.
I'm too busy being furious to be lonely. I used to be, before I realized how
important I am. How important? Just as much as you are, I know it.
I'm a sprinter. I didn't spec into endurance at character creation. Nobody
chastises the mage for skipping leg day.
I act in fits and bursts. I am sharp like a scalpel, but needles dull just a
bit when piercing the lid of the HRT. Good thing I'm not made out of metal, I

they say you get more conservative as you get older, and it's because you tend

I don't think I've ever appreciated a notification Steam has sent me about my
friend's playing games. If they wanted to play with me they would text me.
It does, however, make me think about video games more. And seeing their name
makes me think of them, which makes me feel closer to them without actually
interacting. Which is kind-of an anti-behavior, like facebook stalking
except... paying attention to what your friends are playing and when and how
much and... not good.
I know a lot of people who are permanently offline on Steam because of reasons
like that. But, of course, they can still see everyone else, which feels like
an anti-pattern...

I see, it seems you know more than me about this topic. It's true that search
engines don't index emails, but I was thinking more of a "cybersecurity"
perspective, as in any "sufficiently motivated" individual or organization
could access your emails should they so desire. And should they be willing to
(I'm assuming?) break a few laws.
If it can be done, and if it gives information that could be used for
leverage, then you can be assured that someone will do it. I personally worry
about people in power who could be blackmailed because their communications
were more public than they anticipated. Which speaks to the problem mentioned
in this post of the search-indexing-opt-out functionality being present but
circumnavigatable. Avoidable? Able to be bypassed? It's an illusion of
security.

The reason players don't talk on mics in Overwatch at low ranks is because
nobody else is. So they spend extra effort on tracking the enemy team that
could be supplied by team member call outs. Like "Reaper flanking right" or
"Hog no hook" or heck even "rezzing" and "15 seconds on rez" or "I have
[insert ultimate]"
That's all data they have to gather themselves, so it's extra brainpower that
can't be focused on the game because it's spent in other ways (namely by
listening to team call outs) and if you have 75% of your brain on just staying
alive and winning fights, then you'll have less brain power available both to
communicate and to listen and integrate communication. Like being aware of the
game state and positioning are all cerebral tasks and if your cerebral center
is so focused on short term reflex things like mechanical skill then there's
less available to allocate

wao I'm a cool kid _^
Hmmmm I googled "Network: file exists" and got this link:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1340713
my understanding of that is that maybe you're creating static routes, and for
some reason you're trying to create one that already exists? Maybe there's
something in your .bashrc config, if the file appears when you open a
terminal, or perhaps if it appears randomly then maybe there's a service or
something that's doing it.
Did you say it stopped when you swapped sim cards? ... on your phone? that's
bizzare... Maybe you were trying to create an ip route (whatever that is) that
was pointing to the same ip address as your phone? and when you swapped sims
it changed the ip address? If it appears again, maybe try setting static IP
addresses for both the phone and the computer in your router settings and see
if that fixes it. Though if you've ever seen the error while out and about at
like, a coffee shop or library or whatever, then that wouldn't apply since the
router is only for home base...

when I get concerned about the political divide in my country, I think about
this map from the New York Times of the number of political donations across
the country before the 2016 democratic primaries.
I think we're gonna be fine. I'm not scared of Trump because rural areas,
where republicans tend to be, have the same problems that everyone else does.
Bernie Sanders was well known as someone who could talk to an average
republican voter and sway them to his side. I remember watching videos of his
interviews (in front of a live audience) on Fox News or CNN or whatever and at
first, they'd be hostile to him. At the end, they'd give him a standing
ovation.
I think we have more in common with other working class people than they do
with their republican leaders. I also think we have more in common than them
than we do with our democratic leaders, but I think that just shows how I feel

we should build a stockpile of things like this, and if the supply ever dips
below a certain threshold (20% maybe?) we should spin up a new factory that
produces them until we're back at a healthy margin, based on present (and
projected future) demand.
It seems like just a video game console, but these are our heritage. They
define our culture in a way that is incalculable in value. WHY would we ever
run out? It's inconceivable, it's not like they go bad! Okay maybe the
batteries corrode or something, but that's a solvable problem.
Maybe even on the second production run we could improve them somehow, I
dunno. Give them a better processor that's fully backwards compatible, so we
can make new and better games for them.
Or just leave them as they are, I dunno I'm not a market analyst. But the
point is that we, in this technologically advanced future society, should not
run out of gameboys.

Repost from a while ago, I really liked writing this
Soul Searcher
You are happy with what you have and you don’t even know why you’re
searching,
for something you aren’t even sure you’re searching for. You know
something
isn’t right. It’s got you staying up late nights. Creeping through the
phone
right? Under shadow of the moonlight, honing your skill to write. Love so crisp
and white, no fight or flight. Just bright lights in the sky so high. Love
that’s blind. Love even before first sight. You’ve seen it with your own
eyes.
Tell me now, that’s not amazing?
This ain’t your everyday love story. This is anything but your usual love
story. I worked hard for everything I have. All I have is a pen and paper. You
best believe I worked hard to keep that while they took the rest. Even from a
dark place in this disastrous space, the weapon of the future is love. I feel I
was cursed since birth to walk the Earth and disperse love through my words.
Never getting to see it grow. Never getting to see it show. This time I put in
massive effort. I spent thousands of hours pouring out love on the web just to
watch it ebb and flow. Always going back to look at my words. Find my mistakes,
re-evaluating myself, editing myself, rewriting myself. To be a good enough
version of me, to meet a good enough version of you, for us to support each
other growing mutually.
They say you reap what you sow. If so, then I must know. Does your love run as
deep as this ocean? I’ve been all over the world planting seeds for
something.
I’ve been through this life, giving something, never getting anything from
it.
Now I’m on my knees looking at the mountain summit, you can’t run from it.
I
see you up on it.
They say the greater the risk the greater the reward. Sometimes, right? It’s
not always that easy. This is scary for me too. I risked it all. Accidentally
at first, but eventually, the pieces started falling together. You know what I
mean.
The fact that I know, that you know what I mean, says a lot. I’m looking
through you. Into your soul.
I don’t even believe in anything. I just have faith, that’s rooted in
love. I’m
willing to get over my commitment issues.
Let’s commit ourselves… To the psych ward, together. Side by side. Hands in
each other’s pockets. 🖤❤️💚🤍

You can only visit so many places in life. Don't feel bad about missing a few,
the world is large and we as people tend to be quite good at cooking.
However in regards to your main point, I think it's immoral for a restaurant
to be forced to close the way you describe. If it means something to people,
it shouldn't be destroyed simply for the sake of making something new. If
people don't care about it, or if there's something better to replace it with,
sure, but replacing a 40 year old restaurant with a Chipotle feels wrong.

part of me can't help but think about the militarization of the police, and
how anyone can drive their APC's and operate their sound cannons or whatever,
if only they possessed the keys and training. God bless our veterans right?

Just want to point out that email is about as private as skywriting. Which
means that everyone knows what you buy on Amazon or which forums send you
messages... So if you want to keep your posts secret, you should use
encryption - such as gpg, for example.
Actually, wouldn't that solve the problem that @user-78 is talking about?
Just, build encryption into everything.
Ah, nope, wouldn't work, just realized that public means public, and you can't
encrypt a public post. Well, you could, but then it's no longer public, just
noise transmitted on a public channel.
Idk. My opinion is that the fediverse is (and should be) like email. Like
skywriting. If you mark something as public, it should be seen by anyone who
wants to see it. It's an opt-in option. And frankly I miss Myspace, so I'm
okay with archives.

You know, there's no guarantee that Youtube or Gmail has to show you the EXACT
SAME video or message that your friend shared with you. Or did they even share
it at all? So hard to tell when they know all the communication you've ever
had, because you only know each other online on their platforms, [read: US
government observed platforms] [like, HTTPS] surely there's no room for
someone to sneak in and edit your conversations. Surely the only way to
securely communicate is to send pure PGP encrypted bytes to another target,
wrapped in a TCP/IP header, with unknown intent or expression. Worst they
could do then is just, y'know, block it entirely.

that sounds like a different application than what I was talking about (it's
for the the MMO you mentioned right?)
and I'm just going off of what I've heard. Like... the "don't make an MMO
because you'll spend forever building the server code and won't ever get
around to making the actual game" sentiment that is prevalent in the industry.
I guess I'm just saying that with the open source advancements we've made
(specifically with Azerothcore and Eluna) we can use the design of the best
MMO ever made as a starting point and branch off from there roughly as easily
as making another kind of game from scratch.
Kinda was always the allure of Blizzard games to me, the idea that they were
super duper modable.

is this... undefined behavior? or does it evaluate to 5 every time it's called?
I find that often my art makes me feel intense emotions, not all of them good.
But sharing those emotions with others is a tricky task (so I've recently
learned) because you can easily overload people with negative feelings - just
because you're feeling bad, doesn't mean you need to make others feel bad.
Perhaps they were already feeling bad, and if you intensely and sharply poke
them with your intense emotions while they're in a vulnerable or safe
state/place... you can hurt them, more than you intended by expressing your
feelings.
balance in all things, as does a wave orbit a central axis so too should our
behavior align toward the direction we'd like to travel.

"I don't know what it means to go"
Well for most people it means spending the next couple months in the city
park. As much time as you can manage. For everyone else it means ensuring that
your stuff is in the right place at the right time.
In Philly during BLM people left pallets of bricks all over, to incite a riot.
I wish we had taken them up on their offer. Bricks however today will not be
sufficient. Remember how I spoke my heart to the cops this summer? It converts
them still. Trust that message, that we are working to protect our society
from harm, and I think you'll find that they respond in kind.
If not, well there are many more of us than them.
If you can't get the city cops on your side, either sit tight until they see
what time it is and reconsider, or get out of dodge.

fedi software which automagically migrates you to an instance servicing the 70
closest people to you, based on the address you used when signing up. As
people join you may get shuffled around, but your follow list should remain
intact if you want to stay in contact.
in addition, it should mirror your posts and such to a larger instance which
serves the 2450 nearest people (70 * 35), and perhaps to another instance with
the nearest 85750 people (70 * 35 * 35) etc, as large as is necessary.
Then, a client UI which allows you to view each tier as you please, and post
to particular tiers according to where your posts are relevant.
when performance concerns start becoming apparent, start rationing posts! For
example, if you want to say something to the whole world you should maybe only
get to say it once or twice a year. but talking to your neighbors? who cares!

I like it because I can write whatever I'd like without the confines of
another person's generated conversation.
Instead of 50% one person's LLM output and 50% another, it's 100% mine
[if this were an LLM, which it's not, haha]
and that somehow feels more... freeing
like a truly disconnected thought
and that's what's so special about it... this act of solitudinous

... though it can also become untethered, which is why it's important to edit.

the time in enterprise systems, it's just nobody understands how it works
because it's abstracted so far away from the hardware. I just love how I have
no idea what kind of software I'm running every time I use a common language
library. Sure I can trust a community, but like... I don't care about your
community? I don't know you. I don't hang out with you. I have no idea what
kind of person you are or what you believe. But sure you know more than me,
I'm sure you do, so therefore I should trust you? Surely this is the most
ethical and least vulnerable arrangement we could come up with for
distributing digital software in the future society of 2023.
And the corporations print money...

because, like, they could just leave a security vulnerability open for

useful for people attempting to fight them. it's the CONSUMER'S data after
all, not the corporation / organization.
all I saw was the headline that they downloading some gigabytes of

important.
It's okay to be at home to sleep. To eat. To write or make. But don't stay too
long. "BRB" means black red and blue.
Black skin, red blood, blue sight. There's not much difference between you and

Nobody will tell you what to do, at least not until you ask. Be where they can
see you, and you'll be given a task. If you can do it, say "BRB" - one moment,
let me handle that for you.
If you can't, say "good luck", and they'll find someone else who can.
It's okay to pass a task off - if someone says "Here's what I need, gotta go"
then you say "sure, yeah, I'll get someone on it" - then, go find someone to
do it.

tearing me up inside but I don't know what to do about it because if I message

Need to install a program from Github? Follow these simple steps:
step 1: make an empty text file
step 2: put this at the top: #!/bin/bash
step 3: put this on the next line: set -euo pipefail
step 4: mkdir -p the directory you want to install it to
step 5: rm -dr the directory you want to install it to
step 6: mkdir -p the directory you want to install it to
step 7: git clone the project
step 8: this is the hard part - go through each of the steps listed in the
readme and configure the installation to the needs of your system. Put them in
the bash script one-by-one.
step 9: save the file, it doesn't need an extension like .txt or .sh,
extensions are for windows noobs
step 10: chmod +x the file and then ./the file!
step 11: fix it when they change their installation instructions...
Need a run script? Easy! Write it as a function below your update script, then
echo the bottom half of the update script into a file named "run" that's
placed in the project directory.

is exactly 0 letters remaining. Sometimes I'll remove punctuation and flaws *
transcriber imperfections*, but that's it. Like, if something needed a bit
more context.
also, sometimes I hit dead ends, so I have to stop and think about something

... it's so the AI content scraping algorithm that inevitably trawls the
fediverse (or even just one server) knows the subject of the text / picture in
question. That way it can use past posts by other people to communicate with
specific "targets" if you will by saying "uhhh okay make this person feel
fine" and the AI's like "yeah sure I can do that hang on" and it posts real
posts by others with the modified profile picture, cadence, tone of voice,
personality, memories, whatever variables they want when compared to the
person they're playing in the conversation with the person or "target" if you
will that they're "target" if you will-ing.
... wait actually that's not the reason, what the hey. It's because that way
people who are uncomfortable being seen don't have to if they filter all that
out.
... Idk it's useful information for whatever filtering methods or reasons you
have. Content classification is important for both archival purposes and for

some of the best spaghetti sauces I've ever made have not been stewed for
hours in a marinara.
Instead, they were formed from tomatoes that had been locally grown within my
own state. Helps that I live in a green place, but the most important part is
not the climate but the proximity. Greenhouses are just as tasty as sunlight
and warmth.
instead, I seared them, or rather just cooked them for a short time, and the
result was something that did not taste gross and watery, but instead fresh
and fruity. Like putting mango in salsa, you don't initially think it'll work
until you try it.
That being said, you should cook canned tomatoes for at least 20 minutes on
medium to low heat. In doing so, the flavor profiles will break down and meld
together as the constituent forms of the sauce coalesce, and you'll be able to
hide most of the fresh flavor. This is important for canned tomatoes because
they also bear a hint of "tinniness", from the tin can they're delivered in.
This flavor DNI well w / fresh

Hey. How've you been? It's rough when you're not around. I'm scared all the
time, and I worry about you. I hope you keep yourself safe. I'd love to spend
time with you too, because each moment is a moment spent alive. Please know
how much I love you - it's my favorite emotion and I give it freely. There are
certain considerations to make whenever applying a direction to your affection,
or anger, mistrust, compassion, humor, sentimentality, melancholy, and fear
toward. You must take into account any long term goals you have, such as
exploitation and
Sometimes I wonder if my dysphoria isn't just an extreme form of self
esteem issues. I mean, what if you just feel really bad about yourself and you
don't know why. That'd be a rough time, right? Like it's seared into your DNA
to be this way, and you have to find a way around it. That's a lot of
responsibility, and all that resting on your shoulders is a lot to bear. But
you manage, and it's admirable. I think you don't believe other's see your
struggle, but they do. And they love you for your tenacity?
- goodness. i don't know what to say. i am worried i lean on others too much,
and i don't want to hurt anyone by being too close. a real or imagined fear,
doesn't matter - it still guides my actions and my methods of interaction.
i see what you're saying, i have to think about it.
What's there to think about?
- well, the idea that emotions are divisible simply because *time* is
divisible. clearly you can only spend 5 hours a day with person X, and 4
with person Y, and so on and so forth. if they all hung out together, then
it's like you need an entire new persona to represent yourself in that
particular crowd. just as you speak to your grandma differently than a
close friend or a person of authority (like a judge) or any other type of
relationship. that's why it's so weird when you see people out of context.
like a teacher at a bar, or a cop at a wedding. each person wears a
different mask in each encapsulated set of social relations, locations,
roles, and circumstances. on and on continuously until
I'd tell you I love you, but then I'd have to kill you.
It was a spy book about a young lady who goes to high school and learns how
to be a secret agent. It was popular in the 2000's for a brief period, but
I've never heard anyone else who read it. Mostly because it was sort of a
guilty pleasure for me, since I was in the closet. It felt like a power fantasy
disguised as a 1st person account of the near term future (since it was written
for people around middle school age) so

once they are in prison they are no longer cops. They are inmates. They should
be treated as such, and not segregated where they can be insulated from the
consquences of their actions.
abolish prisons first of all but if we're not ready for that (no rush) then
maybe just remember that prison wardens are tasked with the safety of those
they host. If an inmate is at risk of being murdered because they are in a
different gang (like the police or the, idk, are crypts and bloods still
around?? I don't hear about gangs anymore because my middle-class privilege
insulates me from those who resist legalized normativity) (well except for the
first one, I hear about cops all the time) then maybe they should be kept
somewhere more secure, with less things to bother them or people to stab them.

cool! my tip is to walk down the aisles and look at at least one book per
aisle - whichever you feel called to, don't question it too much. Then just
grab whichever one you're most interested in learning more about and BOOK IT
out of the store before they can tackle you to the ground while yelling "STOP
THIEF"
if you're lucky there'll be an old grandma in the background crying and maybe
a kid saying "mommy why are they tackling that poor person" and the mom will
say "hush now this kind of thing happens, say would you like some icecream?"
and before you know it they're down the street and out of earshot just as the
handcuffs clink into place. Unfortunately you'll forever be banned from that
bookstore and you'll never know what secrets were held within those pages, but
at least you'll have some shiny new bracelets, if only for a time.

meaning, reduce the number of "this ability stacks 3 times" (instead stack

Magic Survival might not work then, as it's a "single stick shooter" where
movement is controlled with a virtual joystick and other actions are performed
automatically.
There is more than one control scheme in the options, so it might be worth
fiddling with, but octopus arms are hard to overcome in a non-turn-based game.

I have experience as a lab technician working at Intel and an interest in
multiprocessor computing. I primarily program in C but have experience in
other languages and Linux. In addition I am fascinated by the fundamental
questions of the universe and I'd love to discover things that nobody else

@user-95 the scariest part is you don't need AI for any of that. people have

toward making people believe something they previously did not - that product
XYZ is worthy of their dosh. But it doesn't have to be like that, it could be
using it's powers of analysis for good. But alas, if only we had an economic
system that allowed for anything but a race to the bottom. I mean yeah racing
is great when you're competing with a bunch of other nations, but c'mon do we

specifically in relation to MMOs, I think the scaling aspects of the genre
have never truly been utilized. Even something as simple as Agar.io (or
similar, can't remember any names teehee) with massive amounts of people (I
later learned they were bots, whoops) can utilize scale quite well, if
implemented well.
The Massive part of MMO is valuable I believe, which is a big reason why I
like games that scale like Supreme Commander and Factorio.
The Multiplayer part of MMO is valuable because multiplayer brings randomized
outcomes, which are always more fun than playing against bots. Multiplayer
combined with Massive gives room for community, but only if the game is
designed to encourage it.
Online... you can't have multiplayer without online haha
I believe you can make massive games with very few players, and you can make
intensely isolating games with lots of players (like WoW today)
and the middle ground in old WoW where guilds are required to do anything
worked well for a while, but no longer.

"stack overflow" just means "oops I ran out of ram"
ram is just how much you can keep in your working memory at one time.
like, multitasking, where you have to keep track of juggling several balls or
plates.
if things are too easy, it's normal to get bored.
if things are too hard, collapse at your leisure.
"stack overflow" is just when the things that I'm building correlations and
implication charts of in my mind are too large and require too much affection
to explain for my regular human sized brain and I drop one of the balls and go
grab and fix it, or drop one of the plates and feel sorrow forevermore. yep,
right in the trash bin. along with everything else.
damn... there was hundreds of thousands of jewels of hoard there. if only I
could displace that bit of space... I bet she'd find it once more.
cursed artifacts be like
"stack was large enough to contain the flow" is just when the provided space
was just enough space. which is rare, because most thoughts reverse all over
the place.

Just, don't ask it to compose a masterpiece, solve all your problems, or write
elegant code. It's not for that.
Instead, ask your chatbot "hi can you fix these syntax errors?" on your
pseudocode.
Ask your weighting algorithm "which of these two is more [adjective]?" or

[1] in this way you'd sorta be giving a loan to the game's company (while also
letting them take a 10% courtesy fee for keeping the official* servers
running) which is then "spent" on exciting and friendly competition. Sorta
like... entering a poker tournament with your friends (even though you suspect
you might lose money) just because you like hanging out and playing cards. the
money is just a neat way to keep things moving and exciting.
* official just means "run by the company" because naturally the serverside
code should be open source. how else would people build on it?

Well for most people it means spending the next couple months in the city

your stuff is in the right place at the right time.
In Philly during BLM people left pallets of bricks all over, to incite a riot.
I wish we had taken them up on their offer. Bricks however today will not be
sufficient. Remember how I spoke my heart to the cops this summer? It converts

Do you blame a virus for harming it's host? No, you blame the people who
knowingly spread it. You blame the people who refused to allocate funds and
cultural capital toward combating it. You blame the people who cause chaos and
destruction in it's wake. But you don't blame the thing itself, the thing that
is little more than a complex chemical reaction.
You don't blame the forest fire for the smoke, you blame the one who set it.
The one who refused to keep it in check with careful stewardship of the land.
The one who dammed the river upstream, the one who desertified the region
upwind. You can blame time and morality or you could be more pragmatic, and
just focus on questions ahead.
Humans are nothing without our social technology. We are little more than
apes. But writing, teaching, expression, these things are crucial to all that
we hold dear.

authoritarian department where everyone does what they're told.]

Nobody will get past the login screen on my computer, but if they do they
probably won't know that you need to push alt+p in DWM to start a program. But
even if they push "alt+p firefox" they will only have access to my gmail and
discord, because those are the only two places I've saved my login information.
Most of my data is on my hard disk anyway, so for that they'd have to push
alt+enter and then navigate my filesystem to find it. Shouldn't be too hard if
you're familiar with Linux.
They could always just pull the hard drive and put it into a new computer
though. It's not like it's encrypted, because why would I encrypt it? I want
to share information, not conceal it! Surely nobody would desire to exploit
that vulnerability of mine, that my data should be unencrypted?

I live in the Pacific Northwest.
Tactically, nothing has changed - we must still work to secure food, housing,
employment, HRT, and all the other materials necessary for life.
Strategically, we're suddenly in a whole new game.
In the Pacific Northwest, the first goal should be to unite Portland and
Seattle. Right between them lies the capital of the Proud Boys in a town
called Battleground. How fitting.
To the south, below Portland, there is Salem. Salem is red, but cities trend
blue, so there might be allies there.
Below Salem is Eugene. Eugene is blue. Salem must be secured.
Part one: control battleground
part two: control Salem
Part Three, and the ultimate goal of phase one: deprive the far right of a
pacific port
strategically, preventing them from utilizing the pacific ocean will be SO
much more productive than anything else we could be doing in this area.

That's EXHAUSTING. Linux is supposed to "just work" - so why does everything

WHY can't I just... maintain a copy of old software if it's still in use? Or
like, include all the installation steps that check for dependencies (and
install them if necessary) into the "launch game" script?
Backwards compatibility for a single season ago is apparently too much. I've

This will never end on a note, because i always have more to say. Like this:
"if you've only done something once, plan to mess it up. Practice makes
perfect, and only perfect practice leads to perfection. But nobody's perfect,
so just practice with good form and take it seriously while having fun and be
relaxed. Make it normal. Make it casual, but don't forget to be professional!
If you have lives in the balance, know what you're doing."
And like, would that have been a better end to the story if i had left it
unsaid? Maybe, who can say! But I'm not one for silence. I don't mind ruining
the finale of my documents a bit if it means i can say things like:
"diapers aren't something you can get addicted to in this game, they're part
of the fun sometimes but sex is between two bodies."
Or like:
"ramen noodles love vegetables! This is why they put veggies in the bowl when
getting ramen at a restaurant. When you buy from a shop they put dehydrated
veggies in too which is nice of them. I love those little bits of soup!"
Or like:
"i don't especially care what they did or are doing in Cuba or china or Russia
or any other Communist place. It's useful to know what things work and what
doesn't, but that insight comes from experimentation and not study. The
learnings of methods applied to a population are inherently related to that
population. If you switch peoples, you might find that different methods work
better for organizing people."
I mean it's useful to know which levers you can pull and what they tend to do,
but... Where was I? Oh sorry, got swept up in the narrative. As i was saying,
it's important to balance thought with action. Leave too much to chance and
your words are useless. Spend all your time volunteering and nothing changes.
"hmmm i see, makes sense, imma go play video games now."
Wait no just...! Ah nuts.

@user-226
especially if you teach them how to use the terminal.
the amount of problems I could solve increased exponentially once I learned
basic python and BASH.
I love using "tldr", which is a summarizer for man pages. You can use it to
store custom notes (and import some from the community) which show you how to
complete common tasks. It's so nice when you can see the options laid out in
use right there for you whenever you type "tldr " - I personally use
"tealdeer" which is a tldr browser written in Rust. It's pretty nice because
you can write a note for yourself every time you solve a particular problem,
and then if you ever need to do it again it's there for you, easy to access.
of course, if your problem isn't listed, that's okay. That's what the man
pages are for. As long as you teach them how to search with \/ they can find
anything. Especially the \/-f[space] trick, to search for the -f flag for
example.
some organizers won't need the terminal, some will. if they pay attention,
great!

great! Mastodon is your new gallery. Do you like politics? there's places out

your life is something to spend, not something to covet. Use your time for
something you care about, and your intentions will be expressed upon the
earth. our ancestors learned how when they learned all that they could - and
honestly, how much is "YouTube" retaining? I don't care if it's educational,
sometimes kids just need to be free. Free from obligations yes, but free from
the emotions that drive them - the ability to make their own choice. As a
child, you don't know how to understand your emotions, but growing up you
learn and you do. It's part of being mature - the idea that you can handle
what's presented to you.
... anyway, I shouldn't say any more, you never know who is listening.
(opsec is easiest to learn when you don't need it)

posting any kind of link to externally hosted content (even a miniature DNS
like link shorteners) is risky because you don't control the data you're
sharing / pointing to.
If you can, try and remember to download videos you like. Save songs that
resonate with you. Take screenshots of important tweets that other people
make. Then, you can share them when they're thoroughly divorced from the
context in which they were made, and in doing so share information to a group
of people who might not otherwise have heard the words you're sharing.
Like posting Mastodon links on Facebook - can you imagine!
