You know that thing on video games that stuff is only rendered when the player is looking at it? A simulated universe could probably save a lot of energy by implementing something like that, like particles behaving like waves until observed.

A simulated universe would probably have some hard caps introduced to reduce computational needs, like some minimum temperature things can reach or max velocity.

For YouTube? Not for me, and if some instance is down I just click “Remove + Autopick” on the addon and it redirects to other instance… if all instances are down, I can choose other 12 frontends to use from the addon menu (but I never did, I have only used Invidious so far)

I’m using https://libredirect.github.io/ so whenever I click a YouTube link it opens it on some Invidious instance

if you set up a pi-hole you aren’t sending any data to Microsoft because you are using Linux though… unless you are talking about server in which there are devices running Windows…

this is a subject I care very little at the moment

My only argument on all of this is really ignore theory, theory is a shower argument, you have to read historians.

Tons of reasons. Famines were occurring way before the USSR, in the 1890s there was a huge famine in Ukraine and Russia that killed about a million people, and several other smaller regional famines until the Revolution.
During the collectivization a lot of regions slaughtered livestock, destroyed crops and equipment as protest… pikachu face when they realized they just destroyed their food and means of producing it… but was that practice all so widespread to justify all famines? There was poor resource management and planning as well until they managed to industrialize (and stuff like exporting food while people were starving), as long with natural causes… I’m in no way sharp enough to discuss this right now, almost 20 years since I left college and this is a subject I care very little at the moment. But that book I recommended is a start.

Eric Hobsbawm’s Age of Extremes for example

If you read theory it’s all justifiable, you have to read history :)

I get your point, and I was actually kinda playing devil’s advocate here, I really thought I’d be the one getting downvoted lol

You mean a record of collective experience painting a bigger picture about a subject may be more valued than a single anecdotal account?
Ask a white middle class boomer how was growing up in the American 50s and he might say it was a great time based on his experience… a black person might give a different perspective…

I believe more often than not a quick Google search may provide more information than someone you are talking to. I’d take a Google search over 99% of what any of my relatives have to say about any subject :P

oh no, typo on the image :(

I was too distracted planning what to do next…

Here we say that when the mango is good it runs down your elbows.

edit: I made a visual representation:

As Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, Switchblade Sisters, Sex & Fury, gosh, I love those cheap exploitation movies.

Charlie’s Angels is just a PG version of The Doll Squad, which is a real Tarantino influence.

OP looking for that real FPS thrill

They couldn’t have chosen a worse cheese to seize.

Might just be referencing the Enclave :P

Hi, I’m creating a site for my pets and I just finished his page, so if you are interested check it out: https://pirahxcx.neocities.org/pets/saibot (there are only two profiles ready so far, so not much to see yet :P)

Thanks everyone for the replies. I see there is a lot of features that I have no use for so I never explored (controller stuff, cloudsave, social features, achievements, etc)… I guess auto updates are cool though, but I only play old games anyway :P
