User blocking also doesn’t block votes so they’ll also still influence your feed.

Ultra!

I mean it is censorship. But not all censorship is bad.

Damn! If only someone could’ve predicted that Meta would eventually do something stupid like this! If only we had defederated from them from the start /s

Hmm don’t really agree, as you can observe different parts of space on different time periods due to light’s finite speed and time dilation and such. Not all parts of space are at the same time simultaneously. Also, relativity tells us that the state you observe is different from the state of another observer. So you can’t really write this number of the universe down (or at least, you can only write your own personal number down but it won’t be the same as anyone else’s number).

Unfortunately I need TKL (80%), the tinker seems to only exist in 75% or 65%

All the time i spent playing Dota, Starcraft, battlefield and smash melee says nope.

Sure, if your metric is hours of gameplay per dollar spent. But that’s no way to rate a video game if you ask me.

For instance I would rate The Talos Principle or Disco Elysium as much better games than, say, World of Warcraft, despite the fact that I played wow much more than the former two. But the story of those two games are just far more interesting and the games have left a much more impactful, lasting impression on me even though I don’t play them any more.

Disagree, story is definitely more important than replayability for me.

Problem is I can’t find them in nordic layout. Would also want cherry mx black. Oh well

Damn that Ducky Origin looks good! Wish there was an 80% option.

But this system still makes airflow right? Just without moving parts.

How do you find people who are interested in long-term relationships online?

In my experience, this is rare. Most people who meet others online started as friends with some common interest. I met my wife like this. It was never with the intention of a long term relationship, we were just friends online. We knew each other as friends for 2 years before getting together.

I would recommend DnD (or other games) as others have suggested too.

Also this is kind of random and I have no idea if it is a good idea, but maybe try https://duolicious.app/ - I saw it randomly the other day and your post reminded me of it.

Contact, when she enters the machine.

Yea, definitely. Also just the fact that you’re here says a lot. I don’t think you can find many (if any) of these “normal” users on the fediverse.

Basically, any time a UI hops in front of you and goes ‘Wait! This is important!’ people get annoyed

It honestly baffles me how this keeps being a thing. Not just for OSs but for a lot of websites too. And the wild thing is that most of the time, it’s not even that important and the user does not and should not care about it.

would be a good thing if you could ensure every user would be guaranteed to not be greeted with any issues upon reboot from said update.

Honestly this sounds like it’d be so far in the future that it’s not even realistic to contemplate right now. We’re clearly not even close to this being the reality.

You’re not alone, I’ve been screaming into the void about this for a long time too. People keep saying “Linux is user friendly enough these days for even non techy people” and I’m sorry but it’s totally not.

I think most Linux users just don’t realize how technologically illiterate most people are. Most people can barely use a browser and send emails. They absolutely don’t want to mess with anything related to “updates” that they have no idea wtf is doing to their system anyway.

I honestly think they’d understand it about as much as they’d currently understand it - that is, not understanding it very much at all. So I think it would be about the same level of understanding but it would make a lot more sense and would be easier to calculate with.

It’d also remove a lot of incentives for squeezing your income/pension contribution to align with certain thresholds (i.e. tax bracket thresholds).

For example, a sigmoid function (click link for equation). You’d need to mess with the constants to align the function with a range of incomes but the general shape will be the same - a low, almost-zero taxation rate for those who earn the least, rising to a threshold (perhaps even 100%, but a lower value like 75% would probably work as well), giving a high taxation to those who earn the most.

I’m not speaking against progressive taxation, I’m saying the brackets should be continuous so there aren’t any sharp turns in taxation. Right now the brackets make the taxation discrete, but I feel it should be continuous.
