trees dont ruin ANY human infrastructure. But the usual urban infrastructure isnt well thought out enough to exist around trees. But smarter urbanism is possible and in fact does exist.

as someone that never took anything worthwhile out of linkedin, i kind of like that people post this stuff there :P

I like the feel of a matte screen protector. Rubbing my finger directly on the glass feels weird and heats up quickly.

“official” is to indicate that the data is certified by some authority. So the question of which authority is relevant. You trust some more than others, even if you trust china more than, say, france, that is a relevant piece of information.

Cool to know, thanks for sharing!

what do people do for fun when they have days off, on holiday,… ? how free are you to choose a partner and form a family in your culture? (i mean, are marriages arranged in some way, or do the relatioships form naturally?, can your partner be of the same sex, can you have multiple partners,…?)

a volcano? isnt it cerro de san cristobal?

seems to me like AAA games always were about demonstrating new game technologies, showcasing a new graphics engine or something, not about entertaining/fun games. Like that Crysis franchise from around 2010, everyone wanted to have a pc that could play crysis, but nobody actually wanted to play that game.

obviously. you probably misread me.

encrypting matrix chats just protects one step of the process, your data may be leaking in various other ways.

the matrix room may be public, but when you choose someone to talk to via dm, at that point encryption matters. Of course, you shouldnt really trust that random person from the matrix room, but it being an encrypted chat reduces the risk somewhat.

that would explain why they dont seem to care about climate change while they do seem to plan for the long term for some things. maybe they believe less people on the planet is a solution to climate change.

they could move somewhere else where they wont be overpaying and let someone with less income move in. why inescapable?

if it did, the text wouldnt be “the large majority” but “everyone”.

i do backups of my home folder with Vorta, tha uses borg in the backend. I never tried restic, but borg is the first incremental backup utility i tried that doesnt increase the backup size when i move or rename a file. I was using backintime before to backup 500gb on a 750gb drive and if I moved 300gb to a different folder, it would try to copy those 300gb again onto the backup drive and fail for lack of storage, while borg handles it beautifully.

as an offsite solution, i use syncthing to mirror my files to a pc at my fathers house that is turned on just once in a while to save power and disc longevity.

this should have pictures of the shit, not of the bat…

you can install an addon like torrentio that finds torrents and streams them

being opt-out is still bad, but at least it would be a bit more honest.
