Hehe, I see what you did there.

MLK on climate change (probably):

[…]that [humanities] great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the [oil company] or the [billionaire] but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises [climate aware] to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’

I use Mullvad and have a qbit go through gluetun. I don’t mind the lack of port forwarding, as I leave the Pi on 24/7 and I’m not under ratio constraints. Also, my system isn’t secure enough for me to be messing with that stuff, next build I’ll get everything off root, set proper permissions, route everything through a single port etc, then think about port forwarding. For now I’ll hide behind my ISP and Mullvad’s security while I learn and make mistakes.

Down is quick enough for me and Up is slow but constant.

Music is my main media and I pay Deezer specifically to recommend me stuff.

For games, I’m on an emulation streak, so top X listicles. Mostly, I’m racking my brain for things I thought were interesting but never played/didn’t finish/want to experience again.

For TV and movies (and new games), I care a lot less about and I mean a lot less, so word of mouth. If all my colleagues, family, and friends are raving about the new hotness I’ll find out.

Nakamura said in a podcast all he would need to know is that there is a winning move and he’d be able to find it.

So, just one buzz is enough that says “in this position there is a move that wins the game”.

Kinda like everyone’s ratings in puzzles is higher than in elo because by the very nature of the puzzle there is a winning sequence to find.

In play, if I don’t spot a winning tactic I just move to (try to) improve my position. In puzzles if I don’t spot a winning tactic, I look again, and again, and again…

At least “crazy cat person” has an excuse. When I want to run naked through the woods with the pack, it’s just because I’m weird… apparently.

Toxoplasmosis?

Guess not, that’s probably my bad.

That’s my bad. Thanks for the correction.

It’s always strange to see a member of the most incarcerated population on the planet wax lyrical about how free they are.

Not to defend China here at all.

Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people. - Heinrich Heine

That was me, I was raised Mormon so I had a lot of common sense that turned out to be unquestioned prejudice. Not a defence of who I was though, I was a prick.

Not necessarily: consider a string of '0’s and ‘1’s’ both infinite and random.

No matter how long you look, you’ll never find a ‘2’. Same with the multiverse, not all things need to exist.
