You cannot permaban a cheater for the saame reason you shouldn’t have death penalty, people need to be able to challenge the decision which should trigger a process

As a piece of software, I highly doubt there isn’t a single bug in VAC that would cause a false-positive

Oh, I see That sounds interesting, perhaps I’ll look into it sometime

Wait, do you guys have editors specifically for recipes?

I write mine in an .epub (using Calibre) and send it to my 7" e-reader

Awwww man, why would you rebuke my argument before I even make it?

Are the echos in the chamber that predictable?

I usually try to sing well (even though I’m bad at it) However I also like to choose satiric songs which

So a bit of both worlds for me, I suppose

This isn’t a flex in any way

Is this a chad/wojak situation where they are both chads?

Ahh, fair enough, I always can tell when somebody picked up because the timely beeps stop (and also somehow I know that the silence from the background is different from the silence before it)

Anything from !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org

I do because in general one of the following scenarios happen:

1. A person is on the other side and when they notice the call went through they say hello (at which point I always reply regaedless of being scam/unexpected call/etc)
2. A robot is on the other side and automatically starts blabbering gibberish (usually it is instant hang-up when I hear this)
3. A robot is on the other side and waits for a signal, hanging up in around 3-5 seconds (since I was silent)

But to be fair if it was ever a human in scenario 3 and I missed an important call, I wouldn’t know (however I don’t think that ever happened)

Also, the burden of initiating conversation should be on the active caller side, not on the passice receiver

And lastly, I heard thar if you answer the robots, your number gets flagged as real (instead of other robot), making the scammers call you more often (I’m agnostic in regards to this statement)

Well Europe had the benefit of full sovereignty over the entire continent, instead of investing in infrastructure it was all just plundered in the name of profits for the honeland

I mean, don’t get me wrong I know that China is not doing anything of pure benevolency, still having China as a partner is better than being a colony I guess

I believe that a better counterargument would be: “well when Europe was relevant to the african continent electricity wasn’t even deployed in all of Europe”

Which I’m sure some of them are, but not in the capacity that anyone wants them to be.

I laughed, then I cried :_(

Philosophy memes are also awesome, though I rarely see them around

Math memes (and science memes in general, when I can understand them)

I do believe my experience in this regard is not representative of everyone, I probably failed to untick some checkbox (regarding communications) and the “too many ad emails” are a handful (in 3 months), which to me is a handful too much (having to untick a box should not be necessary)

I get your point, though Tailscale specifically crosses a line for me in this sense:

• Using code created/maintained by businesses: ok
• Relying in infrastructure maintained by businesses: not ok

I am not that big of an enthusiast, but the way I see it, if a company goes rogue and you’re using their open source code, it’s just a matter of forking it (I’m thinking about Emby/Jellyfin as an example) If you rely on their infrastructure (such as Tailscale servers) then you are at the mercy of the companies

To that end: I’d say that OP is prettt on point by suggesting Headscale, you’re still “using Tailscale” in a sense, but without chaining yourself to the business

Yup, I don’t know if that is OP’s intention, but I would agree myself with the complaint that “Tailscale is a business”

The way I see it, if it’s a business it must generate revenue (either now or down the road), and that is enough to have me worried. I do have a Tailscale registration, and the way they approach email communication is already a yellow flag to me (too many ad emails)

Not that much, really I moved from Brazil to Portugal and I was surprised by both the culture similarity and the number of brazillians around

Still, when I arrived the closest people I knew were 2000km away hhaahaha, so even small changes can be challenging at times

I’m also in my late 20s, and I’m an immigrant (changed continents)

When I meet new people, ai usually have a hard time coming up with something to talk about, so I had (still have) a hard time making new friends.

What helped me was to have continuous contact with people in a focused environment, for example: with around 6 months of office attendance I started warming up to my new colleagues (which eventually became friends), even though we were usually talking about work back then, we started to talk about it less and less up to a point where we don’t even work together anymore, but keep in touch

I found another of such environments in sports practices as well: don’t want to talk about anything? Fine, let’s just keep this ball rolling back and forth" but then eventually (again after a few months of continuous contact with the same group of people) things started to warm up a little

So to sum it up I’d say: patience is key, it usually takes a while before prople start to get along well

Interesting, I don’t know this one, would you have a link?
