it sounds great, sure. but it's entirely pointless. at best you're wasting fractions of a penny of the advertisers money. you're not "poisoning" your data. if you click on every ad they show you, it becomes obvious what you're attempting and they just start showing you generic ads based on your gender and demographic.

many of these advertisers brag about having thousands of data points on every person. they won't be fooled by tricks like these.

with the amount of information they collect on their customers, it better be damn good. honestly, the only reason it's not a huge privacy problem is because they zealously guard that data to protect their near monopoly on PC gaming.

Gabe has been pandering to gamers and mostly giving us what we want, but when he dies, we better hope the next dude in charge isn't some corporate suit that only cares about maximizing profits in every way that they can, or the enshitification of Steam is going to really fucking hurt. imagine if Valve was run like Microsoft. for example, the next guy might cut a deal with Microsoft to stop supporting Proton.

A whole nation of genocidal maniacs. Just as racist and murderous as the Nazis.

I think Americans would elect a woman, if it was someone like AOC. harris lost because the voters want progressive candidates, and the democrats refuse to do anything that jeopardizes their fundraising via special interests. they just don't really care about winning elections, because they can still make bank when they lose as long as they stick to their donors.

idk, but later they posit the minimum size of the spin station should be no less than 25m radius to achieve gravity without making the astronauts have to deal with motion sickness.

Stop putting words in my mouth dummy.

I quoted you.

At body motions or centrifuge rotation rates that are small in magnitude, the effects of the Coriolis force are negligible, as on Earth. However, in a centrifuge rotating at several rpm, there can be disconcerting effects. Simple movements become complex and eye-head movements can be altered: turning the head can make stationary objects appear to rotate and continue to move once the head has stopped. This is because Coriolis forces also create cross-coupled angular accelerations in the semicircular canals of the inner ear (see Figure 4-01) when the head is turned out of the plane of rotation. Consequently, motion sickness can result even at low rotation rates (<3 rpm), although people can eventually adapt to higher rates after incremented, prolonged exposure (see Chapter 3, Section 3.1).

You said force of rotation but the chart is talking about RPM.

yes, you have forgotten to take into account the Coriolis force and the effect it would have on your astronauts.

in other words, the higher the RPM needed to generate 1g, the worse the effect of the Coriolis force on the astronauts.

Why? It’s still just 1G.

no, but the force of the rotation squeezing most of your blood into your head or feet might be a problem for you

Anarchism is libertarian socialism. You're an idiot who doesn't know what the words you're using mean.

That's called self defense. And if you weren't some hand-wringing liberal lickspittle, maybe you would have the backbone to stand up against fascists as well.

But you don't, so you'll die a nobody, just another in the long line of bootlicking centrists who followed orders and marched themselves into the noose the fascists eventually put around your neck. And as you're about to die, your last thought will be a plaintive cry for a leftist is to come and save you.

 

Can a feature be added to respect the federation settings of votes when on Piefed? I have my votes set not to federate on Piefed, but Mlem on iOS federates votes, making my voting activity public on sites like Lemvotes.
