Please don’t bring in this worn out Reddit joke

I worked in software certification under Common Criteria, and while I do know that it creates a lot of work, there were cases where security has been improved measurably - in the hardware department, it even happened that a developer / manufacturer had a breach that affected almost the whole company really badly (design files etc stolen by a probably state sponsored attacker), but not the CC certified part because the attackers used a vector of attack that was caught there and rectified.

It seemingly was not fixed everywhere for whatever reason… but it’s not that CC certification is just some academic exercise that gives you nothing but a lot of work.

Is it the right approach for every product? Probably not because of the huge overhead power certified version. But for important pillars of a security model, it makes sense in my opinion.

Though it needs to be said that the scheme under which I certified is very thorough and strict, so YMMV.

A synthetic substance similar to mescaline, less headspace and body load, more entactogen, shorter and more manageable duration. Kind of like a hedonistic version of psychs compared to LSD.

Not true, I also enjoy stuff not created by workers, like mountains, forests or the sea.

On the other hand, I hate a lot of stuff capitalism created.

Weed makes you question if you should get more snacks

I haven’t tried it in a really long time though but I didn’t really like it very much. Not that I think it’s bad, but it’s a downer and they’re just not my favorite.

Acid and 2C-B on the other hand, man. Haven’t tried other psychs unfortunately but I find them both great for their individual effects. Unfortunately, there’s the huge stigma around psychs in general plus the naturalistic crowd that makes up a proportion of psych users will only accept stuff like shrooms, peyote and ayahuasca.

Once LSD becomes approved medication for ASD, my doctor will hear about my condition very fast

For several years I hated women because subconsciously I was angry that they are allowed to express their femininity and I’m not.

Wouldn’t the equivalent rather be women being allowed to express masculine traits? Which to be fair is well-accepted nowadays.

However, I don’t give a shit if people see some of my traits as feminine. I was born male and 100% identify as male. If others see my traits as feminine, it doesn’t change my identity because I define it. Think I shouldn’t wear long hair? Who asked for your opinion? And why should be awesome traits like empathy or openness be strictly female and not human?

That would be inspiring though, not inspired

The R in LLM stand for Return on Investment

I started reading his works and while not badly written I find them uninspired and boring so far, in fact I stopped reading and felt no real desire to come back to it. OMG horrors beyond human imagination! It just gets repetitive after a while. Am I just ignorant?

Ah well. non-euclidean geometry was kind of their quantum physics: a super fancy and mysterious scientific thing that intrigued everyone but only few understood.

I, for one, would feel incredibly owned. More owned than any liberal has felt before.

It’s like another free trip, be grateful

Unfortunately, I never got one, only the ones I paid for.

play flash games,

I don’t think there’s currently any supported software running flash files that’s Windows exclusive, is there? Adobe ended support and the most mature solution is ruffle, which is open source and runs on Linux as well.

Games without launchers or not on steam

??? When has this not been possible?

Those fascists got some ‘splainin’ to do.

One can only hope so.

First off: am European, not American. So this is an outside view and I’m not directly impacted, however US policy both national and international historically has a lot of influence on us.

It’s kind of refreshing to see Biden take the gloves off against Republicans. They’re fascist clowns that don’t feel bound by any rules and conventions. Their hypocritic calls for unity went out the window as soon as Harris announced her bid for president and they felt like they can’t use the momentum of the assassination attempt anymore.

The political climate that has been building to the last 10 years - even longer behind the scenes - is unfortunately only possible because the US moderate doesn’t push back against the intolerant. The tolerance paradox in action - but you have to understand that these people lie in your face and argue in bad faith.

I don’t know Harris and Waltz’ political history well enough to predict how their term will look. However, there needs to be a move to the left. The current issues in the US stem from inequality, both in wealth and in social standing. It needs to be made clear that if you are against a peaceful and just society for all (referring to ethnicity, abilities and identity, but not ideology), you have no place in society. And that’s a long way to go. And don’t stop just because some racists are cops.

Even though stated as facts, all of these are just my opinion. I hope it makes sense, English is not my mother tongue

The goal of a banking system is to move money (possibly a lot) quickly, without physical exchange, for the maximum number of goods and services. States also want to control a currency for their fiscal policy, and they want to be able to go into debt.

Established crypto fails the maximum number, fiscal policy and debt criteria. As soon as you introduce mandatory physical exchange via previous metals, what remains?

And yes; Monero theoretically has an infinite amount of coins. However, it has reached tail emission since about two years, meaning the block reward is 0.6XMR every two minutes, which currently equates to about $65.000 per day. However, mining requires CPUs, which would need to be acquired first.

All in all, the current numbers don’t make it a feasible solution.

The amount of crypto you can theoretically mine is independent of your hashrate and only dependent on the block reward plus transaction fees… and these are minuscule compared to what a state needs.

In practice, if an actor held even slightly more than 50% hashrate, trading with him would be a major risk. Which means that’s about the upper limit of what you can actually mine.
