If I tell you I’m your god and you should give me all your money or you won’t go to heaven, you will rightly call me a liar, even though you can’t really prove that I’m not.
You won’t say “oh I guess there’s no way to prove he’s not god, so I’d better give him my money”.
In science, the default stance on something existing is that it doesn’t, unless there’s solid proof, or at least a compelling scientific theory suggesting that it does.
Which did you use to prove there is? What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
He’s only not evil because he can’t understand his actions.
A god would have to be dumb for this logic to apply.
Steam is a ticking time bomb but mostly for the reason that you don’t own the games you purchase there and you can’t back them up (mostly) so when Steam decides to ban your account or just closes down, you lose all of your games forever.
More people should push for DRM-free games with offline installers, like GOG and Itch offer.
That’s why we need a remodel of the economy to go along with it. The only way to stop the creation of more “rich” is to get rid of capitalism altogether.
How does this compare to Joplin?
Is there, or will there be a self-hostable server to sync notes between devices?
And does it support Markdown?
One reason is the more you’re forced to work, the less energy, and, more importantly, time you have for preparing healthy meals. Therefore you’re more likely to go with preprocessed, prepackaged meals or straight fast food which will make you fat fast.
I’ve got a relatively cushy job and cook my own, relatively healthy meals but even I find myself going for that store-bought pizza when I have a particularly busy week.
Moreover, unhealthy, preprocessed meals are basically drugs in terms of the dopamine hit, so you’re more likely to go for them if your life sucks and you’re sad about it.
Add to that the lack of education on healthy eating, which I’d bet is easier to come by when you’re at least middle class and bam, you’re a fat poor person.
We deploy to production with every single commit, but releases are behind feature flags.
When we’re ready to release a feature, we just toggle a flag and we’re done.
You first start spreading, then you start feeling ill - about 2-3 days later. If you left your home within 2 days before noticing symptoms, you’ve been spreading covid.
A while ago I wrote an extensible dummy data generator for Java.
I needed to fake some scientific data for a project at work and wasn’t satisfied with how closed for modification existing data generation solutions were, so I decided to tackle writing a library on my own.
It was my first major contribution to open source and had some architectural challenges which were fun to solve, not to mention the learning experience :)
So something like a Synology NAS, I guess.
I’m still waiting for a GOG release.

I don’t know what web3 is doing there, but I imagine this is terrifying if you’re doing IT for western companies in China.
So, as far as I understand, he was fined 3 years salary for doing the job he was hired to do (I consider using Google/Github as part of the job).
Utterly horrifying. Especially when you realize that merely accessing Google is illegal in China…
I’ll be the first to say that I only begrudgingly accept Steam exists. However, I avoid using it and vastly prefer GOG due to the DRM-free nature of their store and the offline installers.
Just because the hate on Epic is vocal does not mean that everyone likes the Steam status quo.
When will it release on GOG?
I also have plenty of experience emulating all kinds of things, including Windows - in fact, I have an instance of Win 98 in a VM right now.
That said, I can’t agree that it’s in any way easy for the average Joe. It’s not rocket science, but it’s by far harder than just having a working executable.
If nothing else, consider the legality of it - you must have a legal copy of the specific version of Windows, often the specific BIOS, as well. These are not easy (or cheap, often) to acquire these days.
Then you likely need to make sure your CPU supports Hyper-V, then install the entire OS…
Then you often need to make sure you’re emulating the specific CPU with the specific GPU, with the specific sound card, or else this specific Windows 95 game will CTD or be missing features. Old games were finicky and OS emulation for gaming is only easy on the surface.
I have a feeling you’re talking about emulating consoles, which is a bit different than, say, emulating a game that only works on Windows XP.
Jesus, that sounds like hell.
