You'd still need ridiculous amounts of energy to simulate even a small fraction of our world, on the level of thousands of galaxies' energy per second. Dr. Blitz is a literal astrophysicist who addresses this matter: https://www.youtube.com/@blitzphd

We cannot be living in a simulation because the amount of energy to simulate and calculate all the possible atoms, quarks, and other particles and all their simultaneous interactions every fraction of a millisecond would far exceed an exponent of zillions upon zillions of all the possible energy that could ever exist. We wouldn't even begin to be able to comprehend anything.

"Well... the forerunners' physics operate differently, duh!"

Uh... if you were to believe that delusion, then I wouldn't know what to tell you; then you could just rig whatever answer you want to anything. And even if that were true, then the "real" world must be so vastly different from anything we could possibly connect with or perceive that it wouldn't be relatable anyway and would therefore be worthless or just academic to think about. I guess you don't want to hear it but this is unfortunately our actual life and that guy was just weird. Ask him if you can buy any potions from him next time or something.

Doesn’t matter if you show 100 ads.

The average person has less self-control than you, sadly.

Yes, they're terrible because you can't navigate through their settings without a mouse. Tab only goes so far in KDE. I couldn't stand it.

You are correct; they have unfortunately also become risky. I literally, unironically minimize veggie intake because of these issues and eat spirulina powder. Algae is the future of food. JOIN ME!

Huh? Is that "AII" or "All" or what?

Yeah, we can no longer msg other participants without paying. I guess they've picked up on it having dating potential since it has a "Single" designation so it may get added to Match's ever-growing portfolio down the years, haha.

That would be Reddit admins just passing info over to the DHS, not the DHS hacking Reddit itself and gaining access. I thought we were discussing the latter, but I may be wrong.

Yeah, I was about to say that I thought this was already considered old news. Probably all chocolate is infected. Good thing I wouldn't care if it went extinct.

No, but I used to be more active until I saw that they started to increasingly prevent you from talking to other participants, and even seeing who other people are (can't even tell gender or anything) unless you paid for their higher tier. I literally saw it get added out of the blue after years of no such restrictions, and they've only dug deeper and deeper. I couldn't even connect with someone with whom I met just because I didn't attempt to get their number immediately on the spot.

I see nothing in the original post about them reading PMs, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I hope they eventually crumple from hiring stupider and stupider team leads, then.

Good thing none of us have iPhones here, right, guys? Right?

It's just platform-milking, just like Meetup.com's latest antics; there isn't deep analysis needed to everything, haha. "Capitalism" is totally a legitimate answer despite being just one word.

Hilarious and crushing...

I agree with all of these points. Aliens is awesome, and I think Wreck-It Ralph is actually another great example of a tightly written movie.

I cannot place AntennaPod's long widget on my S21 FE running Android 12 and One UI 4.0, either, though the 1x1 widget is fine. It really cannot handle widgets well which is almost a deal-breaker if it wasn't open-source (I don't know anywhere near enough to program the fix myself, unfortunately).

2023? Man, this article is ancient. It's not gold any more as it's been discovered to not be scarce:

lol, I just now saw the metal on her head.

I think you should mention the Lemmy browser as well; I had no problem using Summit + Waterfox just now.
