What’s as big as a house, burns 20 liters of fuel every hour, puts out a shit-load of smoke and noise, and cuts an apple into three pieces?

A Soviet machine made to cut apples into four pieces!

Using an analogy, somewhere along the road we came from “your lips will look nice with this lipstick” to “I can’t leave a house without a lipstick on”. And raising awareness about issues is basically a marketing too. It has to be in order to make it through to you among all the other noise. It’s just that this time it’s not you who are not thin/tall/curvy/vibrant/… enough, it’s the world that is not safe/happy/wealthy/just enough. I’m not saying that it’s not true but this has a side effect that when you are overstimulated with the ads and news, it does feel like the world is going to end.

Think about what would really have to happen to purge us all, 100%. Even climate change, I don’t think could do it. 90% maybe, and sure that would be a change in our world. But still not the end of it. I can’t find the paper now, but we only need something like 1000 random people to survive in order to have enough genetic diversity for the species to survive. Something would have to wipe us all at once to really kill us. Otherwise, we’ll just adapt and carry on.

And if not. Welp, that’s a chance for the UFOs to thrive. It’s not like humanity is required for the wheels to keep turning

For a moment I thought you reinvented solipsism. ;)
On that page a came across this and I’ll just leave it here

Is that good?

Could be if you see this sign, the river is low. Or “move if you stop seeing this sign”

Millennials fretting about their financial future can take comfort in knowing they are on track to retire in a better financial position than they probably think.

A lot of things were supposed to be better than we thought in the beginning

I don’t know. In the description I only see

I am tech savvy so you don’t have to disregard the details much about it. I know programming.

That is hardly domain knowledge. One would have to be writing in assembler or programming microcontrollers to be able to say they are nibbling on the domain knowledge for this. And knowing the trends we are probably not even speaking about C/C++, rather python. This makes the answering easier only because you don’t have to explain what the executive is

The answers given are good and it was rather other commenters that started requesting more depth

Why? The fact that it’s thousands of lines of code does not mean you can’t ELI5 it

It still relies on government infrastructure. If a government really wants, it can tell its CERT to block some IP range and probably protocols too. If you can block for example torrent at university campus, you can also block it on a country level.

I remember hearing around the time of Occupy Wall Street about a guy that wanted to create a fully civil network. Everyone wanting to be a part of it would set up a wi-fi node in their home. It seems the idea did not get traction, though

When I was joining ~a month ago the situation was very different

I tried lemmy.one - had some issues joining
I saw beehaw.org - no downvotes - not my jam
I saw lemmygrad.ml - too political for my tastes
I saw sopuli.xyz - most of local posts and server maintenance posts were in language I don’t speak - maybe I can find something fitting me more?
I saw lemmy.world - small but not looking like private, in Europe, so pings should be ok and description seemed fine
I also saw lemmy.ml - seemed like the main instance with the most users - having some understanding of federation from Mastodon migration I decided to spread the load…

And here we are :D

I feel sorry for that friend. She probably invited him out of fear for her life, just so someone is close. Then at 3AM a bunch of guys that almost can’t fit through the door in black balaclavas get in and tell you “this is an accident, you haven’t seen anyone else here. We know who you are”.

Unless he was their spotter, of course

I think, the point is, that this is the shit no-one has seen. It’s still hidden inside OP. Lurking
