That’s about right. It’s also stuck in time, a decade behind SL.

But they’ve figured out how to do federated grids, which is cool.

That’s fair.

And not that I’m doubting your claim, but this is the first I hear of it; Do you have any sources for SL content being p2p? It would explain why it so regularly breaks.

Second Life? Everything is hosted locally and created by the players.

Did you mean OpenGrid OpenSim? Second Life is not hosted by anyone but Linden Lab.

There is a whole network of conservative fediverse instances and you’re free to go to them. They also allow CSAM and outward racism, which is why this side of the fediverse doesn’t federate with them. Hope that helps :)

what?

The misunderstanding seems to be between software and hardware. It is good to reboot Windows and some other operating systems because they accumulate errors and quirks. It is not good to powercycle your hardware, though. It increases wear.

I’m not on an OS that needs to be rebooted, I count my uptime in months.

I don’t want you to pick up a new anxiety about rebooting your PC, though. Components are built to last, generally speaking. Even if you powercycled your PC 5 times daily you’d most likely upgrade your hardware long before it wears out.

Powercycling is not healthy lol

To me, the appeal is that my workflow depends less on my computer and more on my ability to connect to a server that handles everything for me. Workstation, laptop or phone? Doesn’t matter, just connect to the right IPs and get working. Linux is, of course, the holy grail of interoperability, and I’m all Linux. With a little bit of set up, I can make a lot of things talk to each other seamlessly. SMB on Windows is a nightmare but on Linux if I set up SSH keys then I can just open a file manager and type sftp://<hostname> and now I’m browsing that machine as if it was a local folder. I can do a lot of work from my genuinely-trash laptop because it’s the server that’s doing the heavy lifting

TL;DR -

My workflow becomes “client agnostic” and I value that a lot

Why?

My list in order of desperation, lowest first

• Soulseek
• Public torrent trackers
• Private torrent trackers
• Spotify rippers (they come and go like waves on a beach)
• yt-dlp youtube rip (please god have mercy on my bit-crushed soul)

I know where you’re getting that from but I think it’s a stretch.

The inevitable collapse of the west is going to come as complete shock to people like you.

It’s not, but I’m sure that’s hard to believe when you need to hate me because I disagreed with you on a point of factual statistics.

The writing is on the wall but you are just to smug and self assured to even contemplate it.

I don’t know what this has to be with the F35 failure rate

ultimately you’ve been hoodwinked by a very effective propaganda machine that is going to feed you into a mulcher to prolong the failing Western hegemony.

We’re being fed to the same mulcher, man. You’re not owning class, we’re both gonna die in World War 3.

It seems like you have a lot of assumptions about me and what I believe

oh sorry its a tankie instance I’ll be on my way

carry on

is this supposed to be a dunk on the F35? Did you read the article?
