  • So basically,

    I want other people to work hard, get in trouble, and all that, so that I can just enjoy my own life not having to worry about those stuffs.

    Works great, until everyone starts thinking the same, and then noone works towards making your life better. It just gets worse and worse, because only people focusing on politics are doing it for their benefits. And then you start blaming anyone and everyone except yourself for making it worse for you.


  • I’m not that knowledgeable about the events. But did he name the cult?

    If someone else named the cult, and someone else wrote the Bible. And the book did not exist in his time. Then even if he was a real person that wanted good in the world, he was never a part of the religion/cult that was started in his name, right?




  • Tiff is for science. Like for actual values that need more than 0-255 level of precision.

    For example we use Tiff (or GeoTiff because it has coordinates) for storing elevation, temperature, slope, etc variables of an area for processing. It can also have a lot of bands not just RGB.

    For example, satellites record RGB, infrared 1, infrared 2, and many other bands and even if we can’t see them it’s useful to get that information for processing. That helps for example to recognize river from forest even if both look green to our eyes.




  • Extensions are just suggestions to your OS on how to open the files.

    I use it to know the filetype for binary files, or what is the purpose/format of the text inside is for text files. But you can just save anything as anything. You can open PDF in text editor and edit things inside too if you know what you’re doing.


  • I learned English reading so many books that I just pronounced how it’s spelled in my head. Combine that with general non-social tendencies I didn’t really heard or had to say a lot of those words.

    I had to spell out words to people because of that. Then I came to US, and now I can’t even spell the words because the alphabets are pronounced differently lol.



  • I mean if you believe in God knowing everything and everything is happening because of his will, then that gives you the ability to rationalize everything, doesn’t it?

    Oh you have cancer? God gave it to you, if you didn’t deserve it he’d have cured it. Done, use that everywhere: poor, homeless, immigrant, race, sick, traffic, lightening, flood, airplane crash, school shooting, …

    That’s why blind faith is dangerous. And the idea of afterlife because they just do whatever now.




  • You can’t use phone calls or texting when your family lives in the other side of the globe. Many parents are not tech savvy for them to be able to use something else if you aren’t there to set it up. Lot’s of them got into Facebook, and their friends are there, and we need to be there for them to reach us. It’s the network effect.

    Also for many parents, internet = Facebook. They don’t even use emails, or any other services for that matter, maybe news websites that are bookmarked in their browser years ago by their children.




  • I don’t use ios. And I’m not that into my phone customization.

    But the main reason I love using computers over phone is this. I don’t use chatgpt either, but for things I do use, I can easily add options to run what I want (right click, shortcuts, custom scripts that can read selection/clipboard).

    Why don’t phones have something like that? Maybe an app you can install that can give you quick way to run small scripts systemwide. And you can just make things.
