Well, I’m not one of them, but I’ve heard several people around trying to produce a ‘Christkind’

Funny that so many people try to get their child at Christmas and seemingly no one (ok, not many) manages to

As said, I was young…

I was 16 and saved all my money for my own laptop.

Was looking at a MacBook Pro, which was sold on eBay as an outlet unit with minor defects (like scratches) for a third less.

Bought it and sent my money through Western Union just to never see it - or any laptop - again

16 year old me was more than heart broken…

All in all with you, just scrolled though the Manjaro page and saw that the Neo is advertised as having 2 mics

Equipped with built-in pickup and noise cancellation dual microphones, this device ensures clear and uninterrupted voice communication with teammates even in noisy environments. https://neo.manjaro.org/

Like Orcas - still not seeing their sea cities though, but they pass on knowledge and grandma stays around teaching, although she can’t produce offspring anymore

Yeah, because authoritarian systems always fail, without exception

The only real solution is to remove authority and bring society to adult level - better the other way round though.

adding that it won’t use your messages, calls, or groups to inform its ads.

I thought they used some E2E implemented for them by the Signal team.
Have they already butchered it completely?

Fuck…

An upvote wasn’t enough.
Thank you!

I have only skimmed the eureka alert article, but already on the surface it’s so much better than… whatever the fuck that originally-linked thing is.

Would make sense, I guess, yeah.

Thank you very much!

Hm…

Sounds as helpful as Japan for the Axis…

Or did I miss some major helpful contribution to each other besides pissing off enough people to get their shit handled?

Even a supply route in case of a defensive war on either side would be more than costly, as it probably can’t just be flown over countries like China.

Ok, I’m absolutely no expert here and I’m just talking out of my ass, but how is this cooperation really helpful in an actual war?

Or is this more of an political alignment?

Yeah, that’s just the cheat code to the easy way.
Spoils the whole game… ;⁠-⁠)

Yeah, that’s also the story I remember from my childhood in Austria

Anyone having a link to a more technical (detailed) description?
This is quite novice orientated and I’d be very interested on how it actually works. Is there anything already disclosed?

Edit: link at the end to the original research/more detailed explanation:
https://comsec.ethz.ch/research/microarch/branch-privilege-injection/

Trying a substance before 13 is so much out of the way drugs are used in a regulated way, that I’m not sure if this data is relevant here.

Only the dark market doesn’t care about your age…

Legalization has only positives

People who need something, to get through the day, will always seek for some kind of crutch.

When the legal range of available products (sorry, just learned, that the word “Sortiment” doesn’t have a nice English equivalent) aren’t helping ones issue, they’ll look for other sources.
But unregulated sources can bring multiple problems with it.

First off, and the thing, I care about most:
we’d/we do hurt people looking for some kind of help.
Either by directly reducing their sources of crutches to untrustable and dangerous ones, with a product that’s very probably not clean and could damage the user in unintended ways, they aren’t aware about. We need to provide a safety net for people with problems, and not stigmatize those who try to help themselves.
And I’ve never met an addict, that was just an addict for the sake of it, or the feeling of the first time was so great - ok, maybe once I did.
But in every other case, the only ones getting hooked are the ones, that finally felt good with themselves for once in their life, when they somehow introduced some drug into their system.
And that’s why many of them say, it was that feeling of the first time, they always try to reproduce.
For a normal happy person, heroin wouldn’t make much of a difference.
But if you’re feeling unloved and alone, hurt and abused, when you’re feeling lost and don’t know what to do, than end yourself.
Well then, then heroin (or whatever helps your cause) will give you a new perspective of life.
This escape from overwhelming, oppressive, suffocation problems is it, why people get hooked on drugs.

There is just nothing wrong with recreational use, as long as it’s just about boosting a good time or even better, use mind altering drugs in a ritual setting, to change your perspective on things and learn (again) that love and your lives ones are the center of your life - or discover, that there was always one thing, that you wanted to do. Doesn’t matter, if it gives you more options and happiness in life, it wasn’t bad.
Bad it is for the people who cling to it, because only on it, they feel like functioning normal.

Those people have actual drug problems, and even with crystal meth the statistics say, that only a few percent (we’re talking 1-2%) get addicted.
(At least that’s, what I saw and remember - proof me wrong) And we have to keep in mind what social stigma fucking crystal meth has!
The group of people doing it (and show up on those statistics) are mostly people, that are already looking for such experiences and have stepped over the border of social tolerance, but look for their own thing (either enjoyment or escape/help)
And there is pretty much no one, who ever just started with meth (or other hard drugs, like heroin) . In the most cases there was at least alcohol and probably cigarettes/nicotine involved - there are absolutely always exceptions, but that doesn’t change much, what needs to change in our social system.
As tragic, as those exceptions are, those usually happen in groups, where people with problematic drug use already gather.
So, solving the problem of the mass, should also help to reduce those sad exceptions.

Ok, I’ve started a bigger second point, but the only thing left I have are those few words, trying to start describing an idea:
“Then we need to look into the individual”

Well,… I hope the first point is sufficient, and if I ever remember what I wanted to say else, I’ll come back here ;⁠-⁠)
So kids, you see, don’t abuse drugs, else you won’t remember shit… - although my mother has the same problem, and never in her live did anything illicit.
So I can’t say with confidence, that we can talk about causation.

But, what hurt my mind most, were social traumata (e.g. a Burnout), and drugs (and many exercises like meditation) exceptionally helped my mental state and ability to handle life and work despite my handicap.
As I said, as long as I actively work on a problem and use drugs in a ritual state, they are helping me.
As soon as I need them just to get through the day, then I’m having a problem, I’m trying to avoid.

I know, this is mostly about me, but talking with other users, I’ve mostly seen the same mindset.
