I just want to pop in and mention air conditioning is far more energy efficient than heating. Heating turns one energy unit into heat, while air conditioning uses one energy unit to transfer a couple units of energy worth of heat from inside to outside. AC efficiencies vary ofc, but the only way to heat more efficiently is by using a heat pump to transfer heat from outside to in (Air conditioning is also a heat pump). Which, is the same efficiency as AC. Heat pumps are fuckin cool

Should you feel bad? No. Will there always be people who want you to feel bad? Yes.

Certainly didn’t mean to say it’s never useful, just not useful for me

If someone can execute arbitrary code on my computer, it doesn’t matter that the disk is encrypted, because I’ve already booted the machine up and entered the key. I’m certainly not the most cryptographically knowledge but using LUKS on Oracle Linux, I’d enter the key once while starting up, past that point there was no difference between an encrypted and unencrypted system. It seems logical to me, then, that if something can execute arbitrary code, it’s after that point, so encryption won’t matter to it. Encryption is more of a solution to someone physically obtaining your hard drive and preventing them from having access to the contents simply by plugging it into their system.

Or at least that’s my understanding, please correct me if I’m mistaken.

Honestly… Why bother? If someone gains remote access to my system, an encrypted disk won’t help. It’s just a physical access preventer afaik, and I think the risk of that being necessary is very low. Encrypted my work computer because we had to and that environment also made it make more sense, I technically had sensitive customer info on it, though I worked at Oracle so of course they had to make it as convoluted and shitty as possible.

I shouldn’t be left alive for my own sake

Step 1: be depressed

Step 2: Wake up in the morning, have the feeling of doing anything being unappealing

Step 3: Nap until bedtime

Step 4: go to bed

Probably end up killing myself tbqh

What if a copy of you woke up in the morning? So you could see your dead body from yesterday, but consciousness would seem as continuous to you as normal–you went to sleep yesterday and effectively woke up today, just in a different body? Would it bother you knowing you weren’t technically the same you as yesterday, even if it seemed like it to you?

Sorry, should have been more specific. If you died in your sleep every night and came back to life in the morning, and you couldn’t tell it was happening, would it matter?

It’s not a question with a right answer, I just want to hear your thoughts about it

Obviously not, but what is the functional difference? If you can’t tell it’s happening, does it actually matter?

Estrogen, my yin

Would I trust the accuracy of the output? No, but it might be a decent warning to get tested to make sure. Would I trust a company with pictures of my genitals attached to my identity? Certainly not an AI company.

4chan is more than /b/ and /pol/, you know. The porn boards are pretty good at least

I read parts of it and basically

Having lots of single dates or low numbers of dates per partner many times that end in sex and don’t continue into anything will make you burned out on dating. He dubs this used condom syndrome, imo it’s too on the nose.

He rambles on a lot more about dating and different categories of daters.

Dudes not wrong about the core idea but his writing needs some serious work and it’s a lot of pseudoscience and sterotyping.

Rectal carrots are great even without the privacy benefits

Lmao getting ahead of all the annoying pedants I see
