It's called a "gish gallop" mixed with a disagreement about what this platform is, with a healthy mix of "ain't nobody got time for that". To some people this is a legitimate place of discussion, to others it's a place to shit post. One thing that Reddit did get right was seperating the two groups from each other. Lemmy doesn't do that as well unless you ask it to and for some people, they ain't got time for that. That still leaves the people who are gish galloping but they're not going anywhere so might as well adapt.

Foundations by Isaac Asimov. It's a great story but it's a tough read. Way better as an audiobook.

This is a tangent of that but I thought superposition was the state. The state of being some amount of many states at once. It isn't positive and negative at the same time but some amount of positive and some amount of negative for some period of time. It's still one state that is just somewhere between a number of states.

All of them, but I'm also unemployed and looking for work. I can't let me not answering my phone to be the reason I get passed over for a job. More often than not it's a spam call but I can't afford to let an opportunity for an interview go. It sucks, before this I would barely answer the phone for known contacts. If it can be said on the phone it can be said in text, in far fewer words too.

So part of it was to be backwards compatible with some mono record players, that might be the needle explanation. Another part was how the mixer wanted to use the two channels. Are the channels left and right, or two mono channels of vocals and instrumentals. Lastly it was because mixers could do that when just a short time before they couldn't. They were artists who were experimenting with a new medium. It wasn't just one reason, and it wasn't for very long really. It's just a lot of music was recorded during that time.

I'm reading that right now and it's fantastic! I was reading a horror series that just got too bleek, a friend recommended The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet and I'm really enjoying it. I'm a slow reader so it takes me a while to get through a book but I'm definitely going to finish this one.

Not really, but sort of? So it is wise to use a mild antiseptic after you shave, even if you don't get irritated skin. Realistically if you're wallet isn't packed it can be one of the first things to go, easy.

I recently had the realization that I've just been putting up with Windows bullshit forever recently when a friend asked me for help with their work PC. They're a Mac user, but they just started working from home and have been provided a Windows laptop. They sent me a bunch of rushed texts when their headset stopped working. They changed the default audio device after they launched the program. Which never works on a Windows PC. I never have that problem because I have just learned to live with it, I don't even think about it anymore.

Now I'm really starting to notice all the little things I put up with from Windows on my machine. To be fair my Linux machine is just as janky but at least I can say I made it that way. I keep telling myself to 'tidy' my Linux machine up but I never do, it still plays games just fine. Usually. If I didn't fuck with it.

Depends on where you were in the 80s and 90s. If you were in America, the future EU, or Eastern Asia, for example, those were great times. If you were in Rwanda, Bosnia, or Afghanistan (The Soviet-Afgan war) I doubt many people call that peak humanity.

Yeah you already do. I'm assuming that you're in a public highschool. This advice becomes bad advice when there is any money on "the table". NEVER do this at a university, private, chartered school, and absolutely NEVER do this to the person who will be giving you a paycheck.

I'll repeat this to be clear to everyone reading this. Do not do anything on a computer or network someone else owns that they don't allow when money you have, or money you could have gotten could be taken away.

When I said break the system I didn't mean become so smart at computers that you can just walk past any barrier in any code. That's impossible. Breaking the system means learning to understand the people who enforce it and working with them to get yourself around it. It means talking to the IT person, getting them to like you, then getting them to show you how to get around a firewall or tunnel out of a network or at least letting you try without getting into huge trouble.

This is the best answer. You didn't go charging through their system with complete disregard. You made the IT staff like you first, then broke through their system. That's social engineering at it finest here people, and is the first skill any great hacker needs to learn. Please do good with this skill.

Please read Charger8283's reply. It's the best one. You're thinking small, how do I break out of their system, that will only land you in trouble. You should think big like how Charger8283 thought and break the system altogether.

If you first find vulnerabilities and report them to your school, later when you find another one you don't tell them about it until they ask. Keep it a secret and use it for a while. Just pretend like you weren't ready to tell them because you didn't understand it yet.

Sometimes it pays off to play nice and stupid.
