In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God said, make a man who will make the glorious Temple Operating System come to life, as a way to communicate with thou holy spirits

The Anti-Sal
I've been playing the same game of Civ II for 10 years. Though long outdated, I grew fascinated with this particular game because by the time Civ III was released, I was already well into the distant future. I then thought that it might be interesting to see just how far into the future I could get and see what the ramifications would be. Naturally I play other games and have a life, but I often return to this game when I'm not doing anything and carry on. The results are as follows.
The world is a hellish nightmare of suffering and devastation.
There are 3 remaining super nations in the year 3991 A.D, each competing for the scant resources left on the planet after dozens of nuclear wars have rendered vast swaths of the world uninhabitable wastelands.
-The ice caps have melted over 20 times (somehow) due primarily to the many nuclear wars. As a result, every inch of land in the world that isn't a mountain is inundated swamp land, useless to farming. Most of which is irradiated anyway.
-As a result, big cities are a thing of the distant past. Roughly 90% of the worlds population (at it's peak 2000 years ago) has died either from nuclear annihilation or famine caused by the global warming that has left absolutely zero arable land to farm. Engineers (late game worker units) are always busy continuously building roads so that new armies can reach the front lines. Roads that are destroyed the very next turn when the enemy goes. So there isn't any time to clear swamps or clean up the nuclear fallout.
-Only 3 super massive nations are left. The Celts (me), The Vikings, And the Americans. Between the three of us, we have conquered all the other nations that have ever existed and assimilated them into our respective empires.
-You've heard of the 100 year war? Try the 1700 year war. The three remaining nations have been locked in an eternal death struggle for almost 2000 years. Peace seems to be impossible. Every time a cease fire is signed, the Vikings will surprise attack me or the Americans the very next turn, often with nuclear weapons. Even when the U.N forces a peace treaty. So I can only assume that peace will come only when they're wiped out. It is this that perpetuates the war ad infinitum. Have any of you old Civ II players out there ever had this problem in the post-late game?
-Because of SDI, ICBMS are usually only used against armies outside of cities. Instead, cities are constantly attacked by spies who plant nuclear devices which then detonate (something I greatly miss from later civ games). Usually the down side to this is that every nation in the world declares war on you. But this is already the case so its no longer a deterrent to anyone. My self included.
-The only governments left are two theocracies and myself, a communist state. I wanted to stay a democracy, but the Senate would always over-rule me when I wanted to declare war before the Vikings did. This would delay my attack and render my turn and often my plans useless. And of course the Vikings would then break the cease fire like clockwork the very next turn. Something I also miss in later civ games is a little internal politics. Anyway, I was forced to do away with democracy roughly a thousand years ago because it was endangering my empire. But of course the people hate me now and every few years since then, there are massive guerrilla (late game barbarians) uprisings in the heart of my empire that I have to deal with which saps resources from the war effort.
-The military stalemate is air tight. The post-late game in civ II is perfectly balanced because all remaining nations already have all the technologies so there is no advantage. And there are so many units at once on the map that you could lose 20 tank units and not have your lines dented because you have a constant stream moving to the front. This also means that cities are not only tiny towns full of starving people, but that you can never improve the city. "So you want a granary so you can eat? Sorry; I have to build another tank instead. Maybe next time."
-My goal for the next few years is to try and end the war and thus use the engineers to clear swamps and fallout so that farming may resume. I want to rebuild the world. But I'm not sure how. If any of you old Civ II players have any advice, I'm listening.
Edit: -Wow guys. Thanks for all your support. I had no idea this post would get this kind of response. -I'll be sure to keep you guys updated on my efforts. Whether here on Reddit, or a blog, or both. -Turns out a whole subreddit has been dedicated to ending this war. It's at /r/theeternalwar

Got into an argument with an idiot. Went on about how technology is slowing down and all that crap. No it's not. Here, I will give some examples of recent tech to prove it.
-
Unreal engine 5 photorealisitc graphics game engine
-
Military drones becoming common use
-
New generation of tanks is out with added stealth and drone attachments
-
We are on the cusp of finishing development of the first fully reusable space craft that should get costs per pound down to less than a 100$ for launch into space
-
Supercomputers keep getting better every year
-
While chips and smartphone upgrades might feel a bit shaky, that growth has instead shifted to automation of industries and AI development.
-
GPT -3 and DALL-E 2 came out just a few years ago. GPT- 4 will likely be out in another year or two.
-
Digital payment methods became a big thing with e-wallets
-
Lab grown food and meats have been getting exponentially cheaper
-
We got that new big butt deep space telescope out in space right now
-
Moon base setup initial phases should be done with by the end of this decade
-
Germany automated enough to get out of the 2008 economic hole, same for South Korea and maybe even Japan.
-
Renewables have been growing at an insane rate. Will definitely phase out coal and oil within our lifetimes.
-
Israel is leading in reforestation tech. It got it's forest cover in a desert land to 7% from less than 1% 30 years ago.
-
You got movie grade CGI from the 2000's high budget movies in TV shows now.
-
Facebook is working on the metaverse
-
Electric cars keep getting cheaper
-
Car automation although progressing at a slow rate is still progressing. We are pretty much halfway to full self driving cars.
-
You are seeing enough progress in technology that what would be considered luxury tech at one point in time becomes accessible to the middle class within 5-7 years at most. On the human advancements scale that's an insane rate. Your kids tech access and experience will be completely disconnected from your own.
-
One decade has enough tech upgrades that it shifts how you live your life or your expectations from your products completely.
-
Upgrades in language models and social AI.
-
Loads of European infrastructure has cross country interconnections now.
-
China is developing an insane amount of infrastructure in the developing world.
-
We already have limited application of robots in the military. Such as the bomb squad mule.
-
Advancements in 3D printed organs
-
Robots with human like skin
-
The Iron Dome works
-
Military grade night vision tech is as good as looking at things during the day.
-
Agriculture is highly automated and continues to automate further.
-
We can construct artificial islands now.
What more proof do you need that we are still advancing and moving forward? Stop following /r/collapse like it's the gospel they are all dumb death worshipers who don't realize it.

I’am familiar with a lot of concepts and have done a small amount of intro level shit, but how would I go about actually learning applicable/hobby level coding without taking classes?
Edit: I have decided to learn assembly

As previously disclosed in 2019, it is possible to use web-accessible resources to check for installed extensions and generate a fingerprint of a visitor's browser based on the combination of found extensions.
To prevent detection, z0ccc says that some extensions use a secret token that is required to access a web resource. However, the researcher discovered a 'Resource timing comparison' method that can still be be used to detect if the extension is installed.
"Resources of protected extensions will take longer to fetch than resources of extensions that are not installed. By comparing the timing differences you can accurately determine if the protected extensions are installed," explained z0ccc on the project's GitHub page.[/quote]
tldr: There was an old way to fingerprint based on installed extensions on chromium web browsers . Some extension makers took steps to mitigate this. The mitigation has a flaw. I have no idea wether the secret token thing is real or not because I'm only like, 20% computer nerd. So he could be fooling me (not hard) and this is just the old method
Test it yourself
https://z0ccc.github.io/extension-fingerprints/
I got 0.006% of users share the same extension
This is based on just 3 extension !

I wanted to post something but I didn't know what to post so I figured I would show off the fact that I'm:
-
Removing Bootstrap CSS (branch called "debootstrap")
- rDrama is so far out from Bootstrap that we really don't need it anymore.
-
Removing Popper.js (Needed by Bootstrap)
-
Removing jQuery (Needed by Popper.js and bootstrap)
A lot of the rewrite involves removing all the ugly p-5
, flexbox
, text-align-center
, flexbox-grow-1
, p-1
, a-b-e-4-6-center-margin-text-align-distribute
looking bullshit our HTML, which means Theming rDrama should be easier and less hacky
Quite a bigger change than it seems so will take a few days or maybe weeks
Will involve hole CSS modifications and User profile CSS modifications once it gets merged into production, sorry

I despise those guys. It's not spiritually healthy but sometimes you have to know you know how to recognize evil.
It's not malicious intent towards another human, it's just the delusions of people who sell get rich quick schemes.
They should be stripped of all of their possessions and made to sit in the stockades for the rest of their lives.
