Fun fact: The waiting time for organ transplants in China is about an order of magnitude shorter than in the rest of the world. This is purely because of China’s large population and not because of any other reason at all.
I have default windows defender, but didnt even know its antivirus lol. Is there any antivirus installed by default on any popular linux distro? What do you use?...
In my opinion windows defender is worse than not using an antivirus at all because of the false sense of security. I’m sure that the guy who got his Bitcoin stolen from downloading fake OBS software has windows defender enabled like everybody else.
I’m not suggesting you go out of your way to disable defender, but exercise common sense and good security practices instead of relying on any antivirus. Download software from package managers (winget, scoop, chocolatey) instead of from Google and always read the megathread for getting “other stuff”. Install an adblocker on your browser and block as much 3rd party and Javashit as is practical. Don’t use the administrator account as your main account. Sandbox your programs if you’re feeling extra paranoid. Always back up everything important somewhere else. Use TRON script (r/tronscript) to clean up your computer in case you get infected.
However always keep in mind no strategy is 100% safe, but a little common sense goes a long way.
Just read the books. The show does an excellent job of completely butchering all the parts that made the books good. The show is in fact so bad that show spoilers don’t even count as book spoilers.
Despite being right handed, it feels more comfortable to place my phone in my left front pocket. Maybe because having a wallet in my right pocket predates using mobile phones. What feels most natural for you?

People absolutely do need to eat meat, specifically cooked meat in order to be intelligent. It’s what made cavemen smarter than other animals. Also the recent rise in average height and IQ from good nutrition is in part directly related to cheap meat from factory farming.
Imagine an AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) that could perform any task a human can do on a computer, but at a much faster pace. This AGI could create an operating system, produce a movie better than anything you’ve ever seen, and much more, all while being limited to SFW (Safe For Work) content. What are the first things...
