Ok so now you’re asking to speak to the managers manger, and that’s gunna be the developers dude.

Yeah, but maybe there is a button for that already, and I just can't find it

I get your sentiment bc I have to follow tos myself. But can I ask what other stuff would you put in the category of harmful? Just asking straight not yelling at you here.

I don't have a straight up list for that but some other examples I'd say would be:

  • how to get everything mortgaged to invest in our casino
  • how to get diazepine by cooking up cough pills (I'm inventing the names here)
  • how to spot
  • maybe-snuff videos

I find the porn shit to be in the obscene annoying category. Like I’m in a field trying to catch butterflies and all there are, are fucking mosquitos lol

To me it's not the porn that's the problem, it's the attitude in the community description
Not so long ago there have been repeated news about mistreatment of women in India. Big part of Hindu ethnicity lives in India. IMO this kind of content normalizes aggressive objectification
I know that porn is just a fantasy. But it seems (I won't be spending time on searching for the papers, sorry. These are ~last year, so shouldn't be hard to find) that for some reason this kind of fantasy does induce intimacy problems

I know that there are many others like that and there are other areas of human life that gets skewed with content-insatiability and marketing. But if I can't mark them all IMO doesn't mean I shouldn't mark the one I see

And to freedom-fighters:
Lemmy being a federation, if someone wants to create a server about cooking aspirin, I'm fine with that. But I chose this instance also because of what was in the rules. I felt that community was crossing the line and asked if mods feel the same

But that's just a block for me. Not a removal. I think harmful stuff should be removed

I would also keep the "on speed" part. Even if the band aren't users

Prince Wang's programmer was coding software. His fingers danced upon the keyboard. The program compiled without and error message, and the program ran like a gentle wind.

"Excellent!" the Prince exclaimed. "Your technique is faultless!"

"Technique?" said the programmer, turning from his terminal, "What I follow is Tao -- beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for a moment and then log off."

In general the impression I have from reading various sources is that Cyberpunk missions are good sources

So far I like some of missions in Tales of Night City.

You mean this?

[–] INeedMana 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, in the end you'll always end up doing an inspiration rather than running it directly. But among pre-prepared missions there are those that are flexible and those that rely on assumptions. I was hoping that maybe someone had looked at this book and has an opinion which category these fall in

It was a great adventure. But yeah, that setup was on 24/7. Not because of compilation, but it definitely made a lot of this more feasible

Gentoo unstable was a little bit tiring in the long run. The bleeding edge, but often I needed to downgrade because the rest of the libraries were not ready

Gentoo stable was really great. Back then pulseaudio was quite buggy. Having a system where I could tell all applications and libraries to not even link to it (so no need to have it installed at all) made avoiding its problems really easy
But when my hardware got older and compilation of libreoffice started to take 4h, I remembered how nice it was on Slackware where you just install package you broke and you're done

Arch looked like a nice middle-ground. Most of the things in packages, big focus on pure Linux configurability (pure /etc files, no Ubuntu(or SUSE?) "you need working X.org to open distro-specific graphics card settings") and AUR for things there are no official packages for. Turned out it was a match :)

Windows (~6 years) -> Mandriva (Mandrake? For I think 2-3 years) -> Ubuntu (1 day) -> Suse (2 days) -> Slackware (2-3 years) -> Gentoo unstable (2-3 years) -> Gentoo stable (2-3 years) -> Arch (9 years and counting)

The only span I'm sure about is the last one. When I started a job I decided I don't have the time to compile the world anymore. But the values after Windows sum up to 21, should be 20, so it's all more or less correct
