I liked them the same, but I could name more episodes that I enjoyed and Voyager than DS9

I’ll die on the hill that ds9 wasn’t bad. It wasn’t the best, lowest of the 4… but if ds9 was the worst and it’s still good than the other shows are great

And when it’s not any of those cases then that person has a horrible pattern of behavior. I’ve learned this lesson way too hard.

He has one, he just doesn’t sit in it

First of all I just want to say that I completely agree with all of the technical things you talked about in his question but I think you kind of miss his question.

OP doesn’t wanna be on SS7 (the thing that gives you your phone number), neither do I. I’ve just come to the conclusion that when it comes to infrastructure and paying for your goods SS7 is the only realistic option I have.

There is no distributed communication network anyone can just connect to. And the dream of leaving WiFi access points open for free (or for some kinda crypto-pay, e.g SkyNet) is just a dream, individuals have to invest in it and nobody wants to or take responsibility for it.

Here are some rules:

1. Somebody* has to build the radios and computers that our phones connect to and has to build them all over the world (*doesn’t have to be an individual, could be a company or government)
2. You gotta pay to use it (whether it’s with a billing account where they have your full name and house address, or crypto)
3. It’s gotta be the easiest option

If we can come with a solution that fits these rules we can do away with the SS7 cellular protocol and have a truly anonymous network.

“You, higher mammal. Can you read?”

Can we get one with impedance?

I have no fear of implementing anything I’m asked to in typescript go rust java c# f# or nix… They’re all the same tool just kinda different in some places.

Genuinely why wouldn’t this work? If a cluster of nanobots grey goo-s across your brain matter slowly over the course of 10 years, perfectly replacing each individual neuron with themselves how would you ever know?

*Like besides knowing that you agreed to the procedure

That’s called termux… or am I not getting the nature of termux

Nix and home-manager, those are the only 2 I have off the top of my head.

TF2.

I feel like I struggle to visually identify my opponents in every other videogame but TF2.

How do I buy bitcoin?

They are categorized as headphones

Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Audio-Technica and Sony aren’t famous luxury brands in the same way that Beats are.

huh… in hindsight I didn’t think about my position about headphones all the way through, I was just mad about the existance of beats.

sry

Cloths, headphones, handbags. Anything that’s just buying the brand.

I don’t get why I should want these high end brands when the only thing I can afford from them is plastered with their logo.

I’ve seen the Gucci tracksuit, the Jordans, the Beats, everything and I’m not impressed. Even though luxury things are luxury I don’t even agree with the luxuriousness of many of these products. For example, if I’m going to wear a Gucci tracksuit covered in the Gucci logo and using Gucci colors then it’s gotta look good first and foremost. If I’m going to hold a Hermes bag that’s not comfortable, or durable, or robust but is just supposed to look cool, then it’s gotta actually look cool! Not like something Shien could design.

And yes I am aware of the concept of buying a store of value: diamonds, expensive watches, actually rare and valued handbags. But most of the famous luxuries I see in public are not that. They’re literally a poor man’s status symbol IMO.

Same tbh idk if it’s the community or the app for me

Stranger in a strange land

For the chaos

Discreet math, Calculus, and Physics change the way I think about code

I’ve been using it for years. That plus i3 and vim means that I never touch my mouse while working
