I would pilot the redeemer under the map, come up and through their base before detonating in their spawn point. The number of Mega kills I got off that was ridiculous.

You almost got it…

Nah, if that’s the goal they’ll just use Neutrino Bombs (look them up, they’re crazy what they’re designed to do)

Ml is a ticking time bomb. Mali is starting to take back its domain and lemmy.ml could go offline at any time. OP specifically noted that too.

as recently as 2005

You do realize that’s almost 20 years ago. That’s like saying “well you realize in 1985…” Back in 2005.

(The 2000s have been a blur for me time wise too)

I often times wonder if an extraterrestrial threat would be a unifying factor or if people would still be selfish unless it affected them. The pandemic was the closest we’ve seen to a world level threat recently and it just increased selfishness IMO (at least in the US)

Thank you… I hate all the people who are “we’ll permanently destroy the earth and it’ll never recover!” crowd. Maybe for us it’ll be too inhospitable and we won’t survive, but nature is surprisingly resilient. From bacteria that can eat oil and plastic, to entire generations of flora and fauna living in irradiated landscapes, it will adapt and be here long after we’re gone.

I know too many devs to have my body require a firmware update.

Hear me out on this one…

Trump signs the pledge. Since the RNC is a private body they can technically choose anyone they want and choose someone not Trump. Trump sues them bringing the question of the RNC/DNC into play. Trump further runs independent causing the RNC to sue him to keep him off the ballots (again also putting the RNC/DNC into question). While things work their way in the courts, Republicans have a split ticket problem.

That’s a problem when you have one group trying to do what is remotely morally right and another who doesn’t care and wants to “win” at any cost.

The ship of “Lemmy must be entirely FOSS” has sailed. You can either invest time or money and even then there are some tradeoffs of things that can’t be swapped out. Datadog and Cloudflare are two of those such things.

Lemmy (including lemmy.world) are at a critical junction to continue to grow or lose momentum. These DDOSs are one such thing that caused it and everyone going “FOSS, FOSS, FOSS!” are another. If they have time in the future there may be a possibility, but when playing the growth game sometimes you have to go with the best tool available even if it doesn’t meet your ideals.

Sync for Reddit is another such tool. I’ve seen so much hate for it because it’s not pure FOSS, pay no mind to the sheer number of people that have downloaded it, are using it and have helped drive traffic to Lemmy and the Fediverse in general.

Nothing is stopping you from using a fully FOSS front end with your own server, that’s the beauty of the Fediverse, you can choose what you want and still interact with others, but don’t get on their case when they select something you don’t like.

Is this really any different from Spectre and other types of attacks? Except those targeted predictive execution.

But, but, it’s contributing to the entropy of the universe!

Keep going back much, much further. I remember hearing that phrase back in the early 2000s, and wouldn’t doubt it if if was referenced as early as 1999.

MHz refers to the samples per second, not the pitch. CD audio for example is 16-bit/44.1kHz. What that means is there are 16-bits of sampling (audio) taken 44,100 times per second. DSD on the other hand is 1-bit samples taken 11.2 million times per second, this is referred to as DSD256. What that translates to is a digital wave that looks a lot closer to an analog wave than a CD does. It has nothing to do with the frequency of listening in this case.

That picture doesn’t say much. What is the weather like right now?

Oh I’m not absolving them of their culpability either, however there is a two pronged approach that is happening right now. The first are those mouth pieces as you listed, but then there is the amplification of the message that is occuring and guiding conversations that is the work on troll farms. This more natural “grass roots” conversation is what I’m likening to their concerns about AI. The difference is you’re just taking the human out of the equation.

Unlike the GOP is already doing via Russia troll farms?

How it’s implemented can vary, but you’re gonna take one of three approaches

• Microsegmentstion - On a home network this is the hardest but ensures there’s no overlap
• Separate VLAN - this is usually good if your router can support it and have multiple gateways for each VLAN. Your router can then restrict traffic. Unifi gear does this well and I use this set up to segment my guest and IoT traffic
• Separate subnets - if your router doesn’t support multiple VLANs this can work, but you still need a router that supports it

The latter two can actually work with an unmanaged switch as long as you tag your vlans correctly. The key is having a router than can handle it.

But the beard and your clothes are all things you control. You don’t expect someone to change their looks for you. So likewise you shouldn’t be expecting developers to meet your stylistic demands.
