  • I was stupid enough to use one wire and not two, or I wouldn’t be here typing this

    Well, I was smarter, but, thankfully, still here.
    I was maybe 5 years old when one day I decided for some reason that I have to know how the electricity works “first hand”. So I took an electrical plug with a wire from dad’s tool box. It had two exposed copper ends. I plugged it in the outlet and while trying to inspect the “electricity” flow I, most likely accidentaly, have completed the circuit with my hand.

    Interesting how the experience wasn’t painful it’s just muscles in your body get tense and you literally can’t drop the wire or move at all. Thank god my Dad was around and maybe 10 seconds after I got shocked he pulled the plug. I had no serious injuries: just burns, a bit of shock and a lifelong lesson.

    P.S. It was a 220V outlet too. But I’m not sure if it’s more dangerous than the US ones.

    Github is not a software distribution platform, it was never meant to be one. It’s a developer platform for code distribution and collaboration. And UI is designed around that.

    A lot of projects use it as a distribution platform, but they’re wrong - it’s always better to have a web page with simple download button for casual “ordinary” people.

    But, this case is special: this mostly harmless tool is designed and almost exclusively used to stalk / doxx / hack people =|. So, it’s not in developers interest to make it widely available and easy to install.

    I thought about this for some time. An anarchy would always collapse into governed state.

    First, imagine the perfect scenario where there no authority and world is just a lot of tiny city-sized communities. It would take just a single bad actor to form a state, start invading neighboring communities and growing in power. In response - other communities would be forced to group into increasingly bigger states to have a chance to oppose influence from bigger/richer states.

    This thought experiment also works if violent takeover is replaced by economic one. Think of cartels and monopolies.


  • I mean doesn’t america always bang on about people being able to govern themselves rather than been forced into another government they don’t want to be a part of.

    Because any country supports only stuff that benefits them. And the states is no different. Do you really think USA cares about democracy and sovereignity in the middle east?

    They only protect their own interests and Texas secession is against these interests: If Texas would get it’s sovereignity, what’s stopping other 50 states from doing the same?





  • How much their ad-free tier costs? Can I pay without them tracking me? No? Then fuck you (website owners), I will be freeloading and will advertise freeloading.

    Btw, use uBlock origin on Firefox, I haven’t seen one of these annoying screens in a while.
