Moved here from lemmy.world. Long live piracy!





Well, the thing is even if you trace it back to an account, what do you do then? Only a single pirate with a bit of opsec knowledge needs to have an account with e.g. a stolen credit card or whatever, and then they can just leak everything with no consequences…
Yes, but we aren’t talking about the limit of the volume. We are talking about volume in actually infinite dimensional space.
This reasoning is pretty weird, but the conclusion is basically right. That is, there is absolutely no way to extend the conventional notion of volume to Rinfinity, which is basically what most people would imagine is the infinite equivalent of our dimensional space. Edit: what I mean by Rinfinity is a bit ambiguous, but let’s say for the purpose of a hypersphere we want something like l^2 hilbert space to ensure no vectors with infinite length appear, then we have a separable space and the proof is complete.
Yes, you are correct


False. Wires are used for many purposes, among others carrying mechanical loads or electric current. Cables, on the other hand, are bundles of wires carrying electric current for any purpose whatsoever, including supplying power to equipment and carrying data.


USB killer would be a fun thing to bring to the US and have it searched despite your claims that it is not a flash drive


Unfortunately, many have already gone “smart” in some capacity - which for me means doing anything I have not expressly allowed it to do. A relatively harmless example is my monitor sometimes deciding it needs to do “OLED protect” - and I cannot stop it from doing that sometimes. At least the idea behind that behaviour is legit (preventing burn-ins) - but ignoring the user’s wishes absolutely not. A clanker that is my property will never get to tell me what it wants to do.


Enough is enough. If I ever buy a TV, I will personally tear out anything even remotely resembling an antenna (including destroying PCB antennas).


Actual science: these are arbitrary categories of materials based on their band gaps, so these names don’t really mean anything precise
Cookies are just files stored on your computer. You just need to forbid the site from saving anything - done (all major browsers support this in some form).


Def not true about the justice system, killing you does not do them any good, they just want good prosecution statistics


Yeah, but then you can just share them with anyone. In this case, privacy always contradicts effectiveness, and that is why we need to fight the whole idea of age verification altogether.


This is so fucking stupid, you cannot stop VPNs, because things like ShadowSocks exist. When will they learn that the only way to stop VPNs is to disable the internet completely. As long as the internet exists, VPNs will too. Ask your friend Xi Jinping about that.
This diagram is way way way too conservative with the “see you on the other side” classification. To name a few: fluorine will literally make you catch fire instantly (if there’s more of it, you will basically get burned to a crisp before you can even blink), caesium will violently react with water in your mouth and produce so much hydrogen and heat, the whole mixture will instantly explode (in fact, this will not only be a usual, fire-like explosion, it will in addition to that be a so-called Coulomb explosion, which makes the situation even worse)
Well, nothing is that simple, in fact one of the biggest problems in society is that each of us has their own biological clock, with preferred activity and sleep hours, yet we are forced to align our schedules to the same universal standard. Of course, it is absolutely vital for the way our current society functions (because we, as a society, work together, take classes together, commute together, socialise together, celebrate together, and so on), but it definitely has been hurting billions of people for the past thousands of years and we should look for a way to eliminate this system as soon as possible.
Thankfully my brain erased that experience

In criminal cases. In civil suits someone always loses, so an average person cannot win more than 50% of cases.


Finally the mathematically correct answer! Thank you for typing this out
