That’s the secret of NIMH

They simultaneously see COVID19 as a Chinese bioweapon AND as a mild flu, switching based on context

Orwellian doublethink, except every thought is wrong

Do-gooder derogation is a well studied phenomenon

It’s not only stuff like lack of compassion. It’s stuff like feeling that it challenges your worldviews, makes you feel the other person think their better for taking action you’ve chosen not to take, etc.

They’ll react like that even against those who just try to protect themselves with a mask, just seeing it even if they’re not being asked to change feels like a provocation.

It’s like how Trump and Co talked about “the elites” (various experts) while being backed by the actual elites (billionaires). He wanted you to be scared of people who try to help you. Unfortunately the propaganda worked

Creative height is the bar for when something becomes protected (facts or obvious patterns aren’t protected), and functional features of a design aren’t protected. In general layouts are mostly functional (with exceptions) but button designs may mostly be expressive.

There’s a physics argument that information can’t be destroyed, so in terms of causality it has an effect (see butterfly effect for reference) but because of various physical thresholds like the planck length, general limits on measurement precision (uncertainty principle, resolution limits, detection limits), chaos theory, etc, at one point it becomes indistinguishable noise.

January 1 2025, guess Steam preferred not waiting in this case

Besides all the other stuff mentioned, you can invite them to stuff occasionally and prepay everything. Make it a family event if you want to.

Plenty of family subscription services too (including for some of those your listed), although distance limits might come into play for some family subscriptions

Degree of certainty is the difference

You need to set up a publicly accessible device (in this case the VPS) as your IPv6 gateway

So you set up your VPN connecting your network to the VPS (should probably be set up from the router) and set your router to advertise an IP adress for the VPS which is routable from your local network as the gateway address (and should probably also run DHCPv6 for your network)

(note, I have not set up this stuff myself so I can’t help with implementation details)

Because certainly they don’t think brigades harm communities if they won’t trust mods to set subreddits as private

“we won’t let moderators harm their communities by not letting them eg. protect their communities from brigades and similar harassment”

Sure you thought that through, reddit admins?

Microsoft had a dual screen foldable like that, then stopped supporting it

Toilet door locks indicate they’re locked with red. Similar for a lot of other types of mechanical locks.

Red light indicators for active recording is a more recent thing, mostly a consequence of red LED lights being easiest and cheapest to manufacture at scale

Not everything is hooked up to that

No, this will only lead people without access to Google Play to be forced to get it from somebody who has modified the app to fake the check.

Bluesky does have federation, it’s just limited for now. You can host your own accounts on your own hardware.
