This comunity is so beyond saving. Even if we turned the world into a utopia tomorrow, i wouldn't want any of these psychopaths anywhere close to me. You are part of the problem if you celebrate deaths.

You don't have to have strong opinions and put them on the internet, you know?

Some friends and I started a community workshop 5years ago. what started as a purely functional arrangement has become a proper third place now: meet for conversation, no expectation to spend money, there's always someone already there.

Ofc getting enough ppl as critical mass is challenging, but I can only encourage you to create your own third place.

as someone who has been doing it for more than ten years, definitely try out bouldering. It's a great activity with very nice people.

however I'm not sure I would consider it a third place. it is usually quite expensive, and the people are there still primarily for climbing, not for conversation, at least not as main activity.

At this time of year! At this time of day! In this part of the country! Localized entirely within your kitchen?!?

oh stop your outrage, saying that it was a contractor is just context, not an excuse.

Thats what I am saying :) wifi scans are cheap compared to booting up GPS.

ITT people not understanding that non-de-googled android phones use that method for localization by default, falling back to GPS only when WiFi trilateration fails.

It is a smart robust way for localization and beacondb breaks the data monopoly.

Power consumption is way lower and satellite acquisition takes time (or you keep your GPS running and warm/hot-start, but that draws even more power)

But that is what the whole discussion is about. Many scenarios aren't just gambling because they have a degree of predictability to it: poker, stock market, betting on the day when the US starts WW3.

Probably only quantum processes are truly random, but for this argument, processes are practically random if the governing variables are not human-knowable. A dice throw, roulette, lottery numbers drawn from a bowl. They are deep down deterministic, but not predictable to any degree.

how did you come to this conclusion? betting on scenarios that are purely random are just gambling.

I mean, it is both?
