Fair point.

Maybe I feel like this because I’ve been in the same situation before, where it felt like I had exhausted all social options in my comfort zone. Asking random strangers is nice sometimes, because it gives you perspective and feedback from people who are out of your own bubble. Or, at least, a way to vent your frustration without risking to alienate your friends.

Unfortunate :(

Although, this still reads like “standard” stuff like using google analytics or a Facebook plugin. To me, this does not seem to be any worse than most mainstream sites.

Of course, modern internet sucks balls, don’t get me wrong.

No offense, but “be content in being alone” is not a good answer to “how do I meet new people for a chill time”

I just quickly read through them, and it just sounded like the usual “we run as here”. Could you specify it a bit? Or take a screenshot of the relevant part?

+1 for hiking groups/clubs. It usually consists of lonely people who spend too much time inside, I made some friends that way.

Obviously, don’t suggest a hike to the deep forest with convenient lack of phone service and witnesses as a first date :)

Mimicry not, but a lot of “cute” behaviour is absolutely learned. If our dog wants something, she pokes you with her paw while making a cute face. Must have learned that from her previous owners. Our previous dog (who we had for much longer) never did that. That shit is 100% conscious effort, as in she observed humans tapping each other on the shoulder and figuring out that it works for her as well.

Depending on how you land, you might be quite limited in positions anyway

Actual focus, where I am 100% on the problem with all my remaining grey matter? 3-4h. That doesn’t mean I am doing nothing the other time - I’m talking to people, thinking about stuff, setting stuff up and so on. But if I do more than 3, 4 h, quality suffers, I suffer, and my sleep schedule suffers.

Listen, officer, the chloroform is for medical reasons!!

Idk about you, but I hesitate to get myself killed.

Isn’t that basically Roman weekend entertainment?

I don’t think I could do anything to a bear that would do more than make it angry. Maybe poke it in the eye or something, if it holds perfectly still while I do that. Even then, I would just be mauled to death by a one-eyed bear that suddenly remembers it has those giant claws right there.

I think part of the problem with cats is that you don’t want to injure the cat, but the cat has no problem with injuring you. The stories I hear from people who dealt with panicking/aggressive cats are mostly about catching the cat without hurting it, while avoiding getting hurt yourself.

Signal integrity will probably be fine, you can always go with optical signalling for the long routes. What would be more of an issue is absurd complexity, latency from one end to the other, that kind of stuff. At some point, just breaking it down into a lot of semi-autonomous nodes in a cluster makes more sense. We kind of already started this with multi-core CPUs (and GPUs are essentially a lot of pretty dumb cores). The currently biggest CPUs all have a lot of cores, for a reason.

It runs just fine for me, huh. Certainly not because of lack of google services.

Maybe graphene is doing some firewall things? KDE Connect needs some ports open (to the local lan) to talk

I had some luck with a 1/4 - 3/4 coax line balun on UHF, but it was (obviously) very narrowband. I was scared to do a toroid on 70cm because the internet said it would be bad, maybe I should try again

If you have a phone with custom ROM support, pretty easy. I’ve been running LineageOS without GAPPS for like 5 years now. Most stuff just works, but to be fair, I am not using any of the cool kids apps like google pay or android auto.

Remind me again, who ordered the nuclear plants to be closed, and who prolonged their runtimes? Who came up with Agenda 2010 and who blocked Bürgergeld being more than a name change?

And if they are one of the worst parties of the EU, I envy your selective reading. We have parties more or less openly advocating for fascism. “SocDems but with a green coat of paint” don’t even make the top ten.

Mainly once, if you dont count prehistoric versions

God exists, and He has a pretty dark humour
