I think this generally takes practice, i.e. meditation. The Buddhist lore from the ages is that people can only do this for a few seconds naturally, slowly extending the amount of time, unless they are in a flow state of an activity - like driving a racecar or dancing. But yes it is a superpower, being able to control your mind and emotions, and shut them off

Yeah the electrons are happy. It’s grounded, by which I mean it’s not allowed to go out with its friends

What?! You can run whole Linux apps on Windows

Arguably the prices of healthcare are what they are because of the legal institution of insurance and the system of middlemen involved, so it’s not really an example of free markets, but I’ll show myself and my logic outta here ok peace

I still think these guys are lunatics, who loves windows coding so much as to do this? Hahaha very impressive

Argument doesn’t check out. You can still manage people, and they can use whatever tools make them productive. Good understanding of the code & ability to pass PR reviews isn’t going anywhere, nor is programmer skill

You put em bags into a hard pitcher thing you have at home, and cut the corner. So I guess it’s a bit less waste

Huh I guess it’s “normal” but I hadn’t heard of Linux OSes tracking active user telemetry. Turns out this is a fedora / rpm mechanism that tracks the ip addresses of people updating their system. Something to think about. Archlinux for example does not do any form of this tracking as far as I can tell

I don’t really see a market need for this, just use signal. C++ is also a weird language to use in the modern era, pretty much totally eclipsed by Go or Rust, not that you need performance anyway. Or just use webrtc for p2p connections with a standard TURN/STUN relay for network layouts that prevent direct p2p, this can be done pure web or via apps. Already has audio/video and encryption. XMPP and Matrix are also fine. But as a learning exercise, great project

Do a philosophy minor if you have any affinity for it. Do a major in something that pays. Use that set of big picture critical thinking + a decent fallback plan to secure yourself. Then decide later in life what you love to do

Install this sign into your home to automate gaslighting your partner

Wow holy crap, great work - the world badly needs this. Im assuming the mechanism is the same, you inject a js script into your site. I’m also very interested in pure server side solutions for analytics, but they can’t hit all the features you did in a generic way afaik

Yeah you can’t do a thought police

Yeah, the situation got resolved when harm came in. You gotta commit an actual crime to be punished right? I’m familiar with the documentary and actually have friends who continue to be followers of Osho’s teachings. It’s not all bad, there was a lot of very good outcomes for some people’s health and wellness there too, the documentary frames it as a situation where the second in command basically drugged him and became an egomaniac. Shit happens. When evaluating cults, which are basically just small religions, the best criteria is about how much they help their constituents and community vs how much do they demand from them. It’s worth noting that many of the cults of America’s past were more Christian branded and became gigantic, with some mix of outcomes. But the alternative of not allowing people to express the freedoms of religion and speech would be much worse in my opinion

We don’t, that’s what freedom of religion means. If it gets overly militant or political, then there are already mechanisms that come and raid and disband them, which we have seen many times in the history of America

Hawaii already doesn’t do DST … Since 1967

Snap is fine

They are okay with you punching them?!

What the fuck this is the best idea ever

Really, that’s still the case for wine in 2025? It runs most things very well, including 3D
