Well, NoFap is against the porn industry, which is why I used to believe its spread would be beneficial, but there is a large part of the community that expresses very clearly misogynistic or pseudoscientific views, and I no longer think it’s feasible to reform NoFap in any way to overcome this, other than the unlikely case that they make clear those are not welcome in their community.

This is amazing, I think it could even nicely fit a use case in a project of mine. Thanks!

If you use my snippet, I want your game. If you don’t agree, then you can’t use my snippet. The purpose of the GPL is simply to prevent people who don’t share from benefitting from people who do, which I think is pretty fair.

Absolutely. But I don’t want to influence anything, just make the OP slightly happier and hopefully have a good read myself.

I tend to upvote everything, no matter how much I disagree. I don’t trust my own opinions or the authors’, all of them are flawed in some way.

Good idea, should’ve done it haha. I no longer remember what website it was, but I’ve seen the same dialog appear a few times since.

Do you expect this is a reflection of how Reddit will handle relations with its investors?

Holy shit, they killed him right there. They have put the thread in “sort by new” mode and I bet it’s just to bury that bomb as deep as they can.

You can accuse anyone of anything and start a trial, that’s how the justice system works.

What does that mean?

NATO will act according to their interests. If they can defeat an enemy, they will do so. If your point is that the US will simply point all its weapons towards Russia and China and then simply smile and let them peacefully develop to overtake the US in every aspect as they are doing, you’re wrong.

Who started the aggression in Ukraine?

Russia did. But I don’t think they should just sit back and watch as the US prepares to deal a lethal blow to them. The US has set up bases all around Russia, formed military alliances with countries near its border. The US has also promoted coups in many post-Soviet states to make their governments US-affine. Even after the 2014 pro-US coup in Ukraine, Ukrainian citizens voted for the seemingly pro-Russian Zelensky, who had promised to normalize relations with Russia and embrace the Russian culture and language in the Donbas region, and were fooled by what turned out to be a new US puppet regime and continued war against the Donbas. Even US officials admit they were planning for the war, just that they didn’t think Russia would strike first. At this point, who even launched the first missile in this particular development of the 2014 war is just a small technicality in a complex hybrid war that’s been developing for years.

Let’s hope for democracy everywhere.

If two authoritarian behemoths are fighting to death as they are, randomly biting and scolding both in hopes that they’ll magically become democratic is a stupid strategy. At best, you will achieve nothing. At worst, one of them will weaponize your innocence against the other, which is quite the case.

Of course. If anti-war activists achieve their goal, Russia will withdraw from Ukraine. Then, NATO will set up bases there, including nuclear weapons, in the most strategically relevant outpost at the Russian border. This, of course, will allow NATO to easily defeat Russia, the largest military power barring itself. Unopposed, it will take on China, the only real contender to the US on the economic front. This will eventually result in the US keeping its hegemony for the rest of our lifetimes, which by simple imperialist logic is detrimental to current global South nations. So as much as I dislike authoritarianism, those activists don’t know what they are doing (or, worse, know it damn well) and stopping them by any means will help the rest of us.

As bad as this may seem, it is actually beneficial to the rest of the world.

I wonder what’ll happen to Bluesky…

I honestly don’t know a lot about the context behind the current situation, but I mean… It’s a literal war. People are dying, families are being separated, homes are being lost, a massive economic crisis is underway in Russia. I don’t get how people here are talking about it so coldly, like it’s just a matter of politics and good/bad guys, business as usual. Don’t you just… want it to end?

Chrome OS has lower market share than Linux, wtf are they talking about?

I understand it’s easy to make a port in that way. But some Linux ports are straight up worse than running through Wine, so it’s also important that the devs put some effort beyond just clicking a button.
