I really really hate this narrative. Time and time again people tell me they would love to come to Australia but it's too dangerous.

This isn't a dangerous place, most of our wildlife is harmless and/or actively avoids people. It makes me so damn sad every time another friend tells me how deadly my home is, and even worse they refuse to listen to people who actually live here because they've been told Australia is dangerous their whole life.

Eat shit Albo, fucking biggest disappointment ever. So much potential from the supposedly left faction of Labor and we still cop shit like this.

That's fair, I just like windows and that's really all there is to it. I've had a few Linux installs in the past, but never really found an advantage to anything except compiling this one specific python library, but these days I can do that very easily running WSL, VS code SSH'd to my server or more recently a jupyter server that I can connect to from any device with a web browser.

Now macOS on the other hand, I absolutely despise. It was one of the first OS's I learnt to use back in primary school, and now that I have to use it for work I have absolutely no nice things to say. Unintuitive, missing basic features and slow to navigate, and I can assure you that none of this is due to unfamiliarity...

Other than messing around with the beta for half an hour, I thankfully never had to use it.

Unpopular opinion that I have no justification for: I don't mind windows 11 all that much

Maybe we should stage a harmless but seemingly extreme act, to point out this hypocrisy and to bring attention to the cause 🤔

Just pirate, it's better than paying these companies to rip off artists. Support your favourite artists directly, streams are basically worthless compared to other forms of income like merch.

Maybe it's obvious, but I'm realising now that libs are just tankies who love the west and capitalism, hence the stupid takes on NATO we constantly see...

Thanks for this, that's a fantastic way to phrase it.

Best video you'll ever see on the topic imo (and very short)

Except it actually is reality?

Anarchist collectives in Spain are the biggest example of anarcho-syndicalism existing and thriving in history, hell the CNT even exists today. I'd recommend reading the anarchist collectives by Sam Dolgoff if it's something you're curious about, it's a fantastic read.

More general anarchism exists today in the Zapatistas, and probably other groups I'm not aware of. If you extend that to just anarchist collectives then I can rattle off a list of them just in one suburb of my city.

The huge caveat here is assuming gravity is quantised in the same way as the other forces, gravitons don't need to exist for gravity to exist. This is just the beauty argument of string theory with a new name, it's cool and I love this type of stuff because it's amazingly satisfying, but that's not enough to make it reality.

Don't get me wrong, this is still useful work but I kinda hate the way quanta reports on a lot of physics...
