Roughly half of the population has absolutely no clue what’s going on. Kids, old people, non-news-readers/viewers, etc.
A third of the population is vaguely aware that some shit is going down based on vibes but can’t identify the problem.
Half the remaining sixth can identify the problem as political but misattribute the cause. Leaving just a 12th of the population actually aware of our situation.
I used to work for HostGator and sadly that sounds about right. They started going downhill fast after the second buyout.
Omfg.
I was trying to remember the name of kdirstat ladt night when I stumbled across filelight and made use of that instead.
And now there’s a thread on this exact topic. Y’all need to quit it with all this Truman Show nonsense, Baader-Meinhof alone isn’t enough to explain how frequently shit like this happens. XD
Short version: forces applied to solid objects move at the speed of sound in that object.
Lets say your stick is made of steel. The speed of sound in steel is about 19,000 feet/second. Assuming you could push hard enough for the force to be felt on the other end, it’d take over 18 hours for your partner on Earth to feel your push from the moon.
For real. I’ve been rocking a 1070 for years and the only games that don’t get decent performance are new release open world survival sandbox titles that tend to suffer from a lack of optimization anyway.
The free options will still be there. Banning a few pirate sites will make it less convenient for streamers, but bittorrent isn’t dependent on those sites and tools like Tribler can find them straight off the DHT.
Monofilament wire is a real thing, it just doesn’t have the tensile strength to act like it does in fiction.
Every accusation is an admission.

“History” would seem to suggest that we’re in for another go around the cycle of fascist ascendancy and collapse, and that the Democrats might have had a chance if they ran a primary instead of letting Biden hog the candidacy 'til it was too late to switch.
They did fail, obviously, in large part because they took too long to ditch the incumbent and didn’t do enough to distance their new candidate from him.
No, I expected someone to be an actual change candidate after they finally convinced Biden to drop out.
Instead they just replaced Biden with a lady-Biden.
As opposed to a spyware app owned by the local government that’s designed to sow discord and destabilize any opposition to the local oligarchs?
Seems to me that, for most people, there’s more personal risk in being spied on by local cops than foreign ones.
Also, “Proof of stake” would just mean that the owners of the ledger are unaccountable random rich guys instead of the shareholders of the utility company. That’s a distinction with absolutely zero difference.
There’s application in responding to requests for information quickly, in a mesh network, perhaps in presence of malactors.
Online databases already exist and have been handling requests for information quickly for longer than there has been an internet, and always in the presence of bad actors. What problem is there, specifically, that the blockchain would solve?
For example the medical records of injured US soldiers are stored in and delivered using a block chain solution.
No they arent, the DoD did a study that said it might be useful for that purpose if they can solve the challenges with scaling, interoperability, and integration with legacy services.
There’s application in a hypothetical currency free from the corruption of governance. For example, an orange President couldn’t print gobs of money during a pandemic, devaluing your currency, then hand that money to corporations.
No there isn’t. Unregulated currencies are still subject to corrupt governance, the only difference being that the governance isn’t nominally accountable to the electorate. Literally nothing has stopped Elon from printing scam tokens for his pump and dump schemes and keeping the extracted value for himself.
They are unreachable. This is the most heavily propagandized country on the planet and most don’t have the education to understand our political situation. Try and explain why corporate campaign financing is a bad idea and half of us start whinging about freedom of speech.
