so why not copy them?

oh, I totally agree with you.

In fact standards are made to be copied. That’s like the entire point of them.

People behind ISO 216 thought of everyting

how to make a good standard:

step 1: copy from DIN

so… it turns into a VRMMORPG fantasy Isekai?

the other stuff isn’t too wild either.

the goldberg-steamcrack supports multiplayer. https://gitlab.com/Mr_Goldberg/goldberg_emulator

I only tested it in lan, and it works great. Not sure if it works online, too. You may need hamachi.

And of course: online multiplayer with randos is probably not worth it, as others have pointed out. On one hands it’s probably a bitch to set up. On the other cheating is probably rampant.

But only temporarily

but is it?

I thought the temporal improvement would be for everyone who already used the high way (because they will get to their destination a little bit faster). And for the few extra people, who start to use the highway but didn’t use it before, the improvment will stay.

When you add a new lane to a road, people think that the traffic will be easier there, so they take that route instead of their normal one

so for these people the new lane will create marginal improvement, right?

is this declaration about e2e in general, or is there a specific new rollout they are referencing?

Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of law enforcement, where criminals can communicate safely and child abuse can flourish.

I am pretty sure, churches were “tolerated spaces” bevor e2ee was a thing.

soft failures add complexity and ambiguity to your system, as it creates many paths and states you have to consider. It’s generally a good idea to keep the exception handling simple, by failing fast and hard.

here is a nice paper, that highlights some exception handling issues in complex systems

meanwhile in america: public sectors heavility relied on microsoft, and now they deal with the fallout from a recent security incident at microsoft

tldr: microsoft was hacked big time. Now hackers have free reign over all Microsoft-customers, among which are many government agencies.

they were lied to by the landparasite

can’t you sue the landlord for false advertising in burgerland?

These are not the only two knee surgeries that exist, by any stretch.

If I was talking about every single kind of knee surgery, I would have said so.

This should be the end of it, but you went on and constructed a personal attack from your faulty assumptions. I think that merrits some more “defense” on my part.

When there is a statement without an explicit quantifier, the quantifier becomes ambiguous. Assuming the all-quantifier in this case was your personal decision. Since you construct an insulting argument from this faulty and intentional assumption, I can only assume malice. If the ambiguity was a problem, you could have simple asked. Or better yet: Do what everyone else did and click the link. If you still thought, the ambiguity was an issue, you could have just pointed it out, instead of making an insult out of it.

Please don’t spread medical misinformation

Tell that to someone who actually spreads medical misinformation. Not only was my joke correct, I even provided a credible source, which is far beyond what you can expect from a comment on a shitposting community.

it’s not helpful

the information, that many knee-surgeries only work through placebo-effect is very helpful. In fact my simplified and sensational (and true) claim probably made many people click on the link, which helped spread the message even further.

Also I think it sets a good example to provide sources for all interesting claims, even if it is on a shitposting sub.

yes, sure. But I would have counted those as “regular magic”.

The best knee-surgery meme is knee-surgery itself.

i.e. knee-surgery is fun, but it is not usefull.

you mean shardplate?

“sudo MacOS” sounds like a legit way to describe “gnome+ubuntu”

KDE on steamdeck, because it came preinstalled

Gnome on work-pc, because it came preinstalled

also gnome on notebook, because the multi-workspace thing works very nice OOTB in gnome

One’s an active decision

There are not so many quality notebooks without any brand-logos on them.

Also wearing a brand-logo when you have the choice not to, is kinda cringe.
