This might be philosophical, but I think a lot of people make a mistake, when they assume that just because something is made up, it somehow makes that thing less real, and less of an obstacle to overcome. The quality of being made up says something about a thing's origin, not about its level of realness.

As stated, that notion might be philosophical, but following it's own rules, that doesn't impact the degree to which it, as with any other idea, exists as a thing that has the quality of realness (distinct from truth value) to it.

Yes, that's the issue.

While I was still on Windows, the killer feature that kept WinRar installed, instead of only using 7zip, was the simple fact that its file explorer supported hotkeys like Ctrl+C, and that you could seamlessly copy files to and from Windows' file explorer.

I didn't hear or see. Do you have a link, or care to elaborate?

ISPs give special preference to speedtest.net, so that their metrics will look better. Which means it rarely reflects actual reality. Theres a good chance this test is closer to the actual speeds you're getting everywhere but on speedtest.net.

Okay, but I wasn't discussing or quoting you on anything relating to war material. Just your assertion about cargo in general!

Also...

The large cargo ships famously need large amounts of water.

Sounds like you haven't heard about viking cargo ships on logs!

Railways are actually super important though. They can transport more cargo than any other means.

Cargo ships would like to have a word with you.

I was using Winamp right up until I made the switch to Linux last year.

Fortunately, Audacious can use Winamp skins, too, so I've still got that Winamp 2.x classic look going.

If you were a teenager, back when online porn were all pay sites, and so you were using Kazaa/Limewire instead, then you know.

TF2 lawyers, it would seem.
Their legal Offense has evidently been workgrouped by Scout, Soldier and Pyro, judging by this particular legal argument. To think the Mercenaries would turn on their creator... Well, they're mercenaries!

Absolutely, but the chain of trust, in a way, doesn't start with the admin - only the explicit chain does. Implicitly, the chain of trust starts with all of us. We collectively decide if any given chain is trustworthy or not, and abuse of power will undoubtedly be very hard to keep hidden for long. If it becomes apparent that any given chain have become untrustworthy, we will cast off those chains. We can broke new bonds of trust, to replace chains that have broken entirely.

It's a good system, because started a new chain should be incredibly easy. It's really just a refined version of the web rings of old, presented in a catalogue form. It's pretty great!

(Don’t tell anyone but I’m also procrastinating my work.)

This is getting out of hand! Now there's two of us!

Joining Lemmy... it's a ^productivity^ trap!

Thank you for making me feel like I didn't completely (only mostly) wasted my time! ;)
That's a lovely infographic, by the way. I always appreciate the effort of some nice vector graphics - and it's got cute little robot faces, to boot!
