This is war, already. In fact, it has been the case since at least 2014, when Russia invaded Ukraine.

The difference between those and English is that they use grammatical gender, but English takes it literally

One thing every other comment has failed to mention is that, to be comfortable around other people, you must first be comfortable with yourself fully. And, because of that, I recommend you keep doing activities by yourself, and try new things by yourself, at least at first. Discover who you actually want to be, while still respecting everyone's freedom, including your own.

I have an Intel Celeron N3060. Is this the main reason for the bad loading times in the live boots?

Perhaps the people who have access to those accounts conceal themselves, to collect further information (hmm, who LOVES blackmail material, I wonder?)

To be fair, some people are burnt out to degrees most of humanity struggles to comprehend. Of course, there are always the lazy butts; HOWEVER, you cannot generalize at all.

This is one of the reasons why I preach against Electron apps and the “storage is cheap” argument. Additionally, it may also be really expensive for people in 3rd world countries to buy storage.

I most likely haven't seen over 1 hour of TikTok IN MY LIFETIME. And believe me, this is certainly not common in my age range. I would have everything backed up in USB pens if I could, and I despise anything that markets as “AI” — I am aware it reduces critical thinking, something which I somewhat lack. I do not listen to music from nowadays (2020s on), only 1960s to mid-2010s music.

Furthermore, I do watch some old shows, e.g., Perry Mason.

Most certainly off-topic, but I have found other cool workarounds for apps.

For instance, if you open 2 windows of, say, PowerPoint (1 you want to use, the other you must close after; read below). Then, go to the one you don't want to use (or at least one you use for this method), and wait for the no account/Office not bought/whatever pop up; in any case, do NOT close the pop up. Open the other PowerPoint, and then close the former. If done right, you'll be pleasantly surprised that it works perfectly! After that, you can open any additional ppt files. Do note that, after you close PowerPoint entirely, you gotta do this all over again.

Where’s the evidence that Russia is a profoundly worse polluter than other countries, or is this just vibes? US military is a bigger polluter than as many as 140 countries

As my theory goes, Russia is letting the Western countries do the dirty work, by manipulating elections to favour far-right movements, or at least disseminating disinformation (the latter is the dominant one, since it is much more effective). As such, they (Russia) do not really need to make those “carton villain-like polluting machines” — all they need is to talk us into doing that, with the bonus that Russia has plausible deniability.

 

Is it a good idea to crank up the settings in Argon2id to max (20 iterations, 100 length, salted) for applications? I'm new to the cybersecurity subject, but I assume keeping the hashing as slow as possible (and a longer hash length = fewer chances of collusion) helps fight against brute-forcing. Is that correct?

Also, what is the security of having a password logging in system that: 1: Uses the max Argon2id settings, to make the authentication slow 2: Makes it take 1–2 seconds (in a circle loading style) for it to either fail, or succeed 3: Adds a 1-second cooldown, increasing by 0.5s by every failed attempt (any successful attempt in that cooldown is ignored, it just says that it's on cooldown nevertheless)

I'm open to suggestions! (I'm not implementing everything, but thought experiments are a good place to start, IMO)

 

As the title goes. This would involve turning the tax levels / brackets into an exponential mathematical curve. One of the benefits off of the top of my head, is that people wouldn't be scared of their salary increasing just enough, to actually lower their clean income. Another one would be that you can lower even further the tax rate for middle / low class, because you (the government) would receive more from taxes. Any opinions/ideas for this?

 

As the title goes - I think it's a good solution for some of the Western World's problems, like politicians not following their campaign promises. On the other hand, conflicting politics are a big possibility, which would create further problems. Any ideas?
