Thanks!!!!

I misremembered my internet class. Sucks that it made ya feel bad.

Edit: and you can put whatever you want as your source IP at the IP level. Though idk how modern security deals with that. I know I was taught that that was a way to DoS attack, so I imagine it's protected against.

Oh yeah. Forgot about that.

You can fake your IP. There isnt really any authentication at the IP level. Just make a packet and overwite the IP field.

Edit: I was corrected. The TCP handshake requires you to have a valid IP you can respond from. So even though you can fake your IP, you can't use that to talk to most websites.

Haven't heard the term fugly in ages

How many times do I need to keep blocking you old man (don't worry about responding i won't see it)

I think you're projecting the deliberate choice part. It think a lot of folks can get reasonably caught up in their own lives and not look into things too deep. It's effort to overhaul your information intake. Lots of folks have very little effort left over after work, and Its is reasonable to assume nothing has convinced them that their news is bad.

I think its easier than ever to get the info, but that still doesn't mean its easy enough that everyone and their mom automatically knows what they should be paying attention to.

Making these things about personal failings feels very unproductive. There is a lot to focus on in life. It seems better to try and make the subject approachable and comfortable.

Yeah I'm amd and vaapi works for me

Thanks for saying the name of the org. Much easier to join up that way.

I designate all folks as good folks. Even with the whole 'every action is inherently selfish' worldview that I have. I think most anyone close to me, and anyone nearby with free time would rush me to the hospital.

Though, I think leaving me to die is fair and wouldn't make someone a bad person. I am only the center of my universe.

I'd imagine that that point of designating good and bad people is to decide where to put your effort. Who to try and support. Maybe to decide who to keep in your life. I'd say that can be done just fine without labeling folks as "bad people".

I worry folks will dehumanize and become a bit too negligent of the experiences of "bad people". "Bad people" just means "contradictory and offensive culture" in most cases.

In my highschool physics was optional. You had multiple options for science credits and could get through without taking it.
