Equal voting tights for everyone
Gentoo is one of those distros that actually gets people to learn about their compuers, and as someoneelse has said the wiki is great. tmk a few innovations from the Gentoo “ecosystem” like features of init systems make it into other distros, similar to Arch.
one of the the most important distros. wtf
I’m trying it out. It’s pretty decent.
you’ll need to jump through legal hurdles to get it and it’s all just as piecemeal and difficult to understand as the epstein files themselves without the context to give you an understanding of what any of it means, so getting a copies that are still floating around online or following a social media influencer who put in the work to explain it are your best bets to see it yourself – presuming that tiktok hasn’t shut them all down by now.
I guess I’ll have to do my own research
Interesting. Too bad I’m very open about my sexual likes. There is hardly a way of using that as an avenue to blackmail me. My political activity is much more interesting and even that is public.
Not saying blackmail is fine. It’s crazy though how effective it is against most people. Where in the files is the kompromat thing btw?
I’m not in that scene really. I have a fetlife account but it’s not really going anywhere because my fetish is much bigger on Reddit and I refuse to use Reddit for sexual matters.
It’s multi-layered.
I tried out rooms that were a bit off the beaten path. It seemed like the smaller a room was the more racist and misogynistic the users, sometimes even flat out advocating fascism. I was not dealing with skinheads, these people were too awkward to have the experience necessary to understand why you would not want to be bigoted. We’re talking people with very narrow perspectives.
Then there was a person who I later found out was a l*li**n whose instance I joined. The tone of discussion there wasn’t terrible, certainly not as bad as the other smaller rooms, but the admin of the instance was prone to meltdowns and slightly controlling. I would have fights with him over politics since he was libertarian and I wasn’t. He would accuse me of not respecting other people’s opinions, including his own. Opinions like “ICE good, darn immigrants bad.” He would also accuse me of being combative and not being able to deal with criticism because I dissented when he gave his takes on politics that were verbatim positions from Ayn Rand Institute articles. He’d call me a collectivist without giving any argument as to why. My criticising and not letting myself be swayed by half-arguments somehow meant (to him) that I couldn’t handle or didn’t expect criticism.
At some point he sent me a meme insinuating he was, ahem, interested in his friends’ younger sisters when he was in high school. I regretfully tolerated that, but I stopped being able to take him seriously on some level. I decided to end the relationship after he wrote to me about sexual experiences he had when he was sixteen. I told him I didn’t want to hear any of it and went ahead non the less. Luckily the content wasn’t quite as explicit. If it had been I would have ended things on far colder terms.
Matrix is in general quite the different different experience. A handful of governments use it because Matrix is basically being marketed towards the security sector. I think a lot of the oddness also stems from that.
It’s true I’d need users. But what I am planning on making has one significant advantage, namely the, forgive my poor wording, overcoming of traditional economical constraints. The big technical challenge would probably be dealing with bots and finding the constraints that make it hard to act antisocially. I really want people to have access to a straight forward method of connecting with strangers that is unenshittifiable. Even if it doesn’t go anywhere, it’s still a practice in doing something better.
Anything, really.
I’ll correct myself, the data is simulated and I skipped the word. You are completely right to remind me of this. But there are a few important considerations here.
Wiki quote: “The initial study by David Dunning and Justin Kruger examined the performance and self-assessment of undergraduate students in inductive, deductive, and abductive logical reasoning; English grammar; and appreciation of humor.”
Second of all, for this I have consulted the study itself, according to my cursory read the sample size of the study seems to be below 100. I’ll let that speak for itself.
A new study working with more data, that doesn’t just present generalised skill shows that, just like in the simulated data, it is still a blob following a normal distribution in terms of density. The simulated data was meant to show how misleading inferences can be made with noisy results.
Ahh, that clears it up. I misunderstood you.
Just because it explains an experience, doesn’t mean it’s statistically true in a deep way. I would tend to agree that the Dunning Kruger effect is a nice logical story, a shorthand if you will. I would really be careful about placing undue confidence in neat little explanations of a stupefyingly complex word, especially when it concerns yet incomprehensible structures like the brain.
Plot with green points is Dunning Kruger data. It’s hardly correlated.
The Dunning Kruger-effect is a shaky concept. Recent studies seem to have disproved it in some ways.
Fresh knowledge is not to be underestimated.
5 Million? O.K. let’s roll.
60K for university education, should be plenty.
40K go to paying various bills for friends and family
100K for various charities
1.8M go to building a non-profit high tech eco commune in Argentina or a similarly climatically stable place with features inspired by FM 2030’s book Upwingers in regards to future living
300K go to anti-militarist causes
500K go to various vegan groups
200K go to building school projects in developing regions
1M are invested into a photovoltaic power station from which I will extract a $6000 rent p.a. max with the rest of the proceeds going to a fund for disabled people and disadvantaged youths
Last million:
100K for travels
100K for a communal homelab that provides hosting for FLOSS and anti-conservative politics
200K for hackspaces
250K for unions, they better have some conviction though
350K for cruelty free research on rare diseases
Tax includes military spending more often than not. If I was you I would find other ways of donating.
Whatever you think of Marx, it’s undeniable he has literary value. I’d say read him.

Your answer does not follow since I did not say that compiling is what makes people knowledgeable. Gentoo isn’t merely compiling. Binpkg repos exist and suffice for a lot of users.
Gentoo is unique in that it explicitly gives you maximum freedom in designing your experience, at the same time it implicitly forces you to learn since there is no straight forward process of installing the OS and designing/tweaking your setup later on. If you mess up, you can’t just simply do a reinstall or go back any other way willy nilly (in most cases), you have to do the software equivalent of an open heart surgery. Going from Debian to Gentoo has a lot of friction associated with it.
Portage makes you read updates, and is very clear about issues. At every turn in Gentoo there are opportunities to learn. This comes at the expense of comfort, but it pays in other ways. You are better off understanding Gentoo as an exercise in minimalism.
Just as your initial assumption does not follow, neither does your suggestion that I’m implying users of other distros and OSes can’t become knowledgeable.
Have you ever even tried Gentoo or invested time to understand it?
