calling these things "tanks" is not fair to the tank. An M1 tank driver has better forward visibility than the driver of many full-size pickup trucks

I don't like OGG because it has a low-pass filter but FLAC is the best (Though when I used an audio test of various codecs my favorite quality/size was FDK VBR Q4, though I'd have to re-check it)

There are some things to be catious about:
1. Your right wing is not the same as my right wing, for example: My right wing (but not the alt right) supports lgbt and trans rights*
2. Don't confuse the right with the alt right, it's the difference between conservative and regressive
And lastly, don't just block them (except the ones on the alt right, those just block), I've met some friends which are on the right but they are still good persons and support lgbt and trans rights, blocking them because of some economic dispute would be stupid.
And keep in mind that I'm someone in the left wing myself

That's not how it works xd. Though if you want to download high-quality FLACs of albums you can use Soulseek/Nicotine+

oblique strategies for programmers:
hardcode everything
do repeat yourself
you probably don’t need that
optimise early, it’s fun
try a new language feature
maybe you can do this entirely with tags and filters
try turning your program inside out
restate the problem
the naïve algorithm is probably fast enough
it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission
it is easier to correct a wrong program than to write a correct program
create a new programming language for this

I smell censorship! Our comrades should oppose this egregious assault on democracy and civil rights!

coral castle
welcome to coral castle, a chill community sailing on the fediverse. we strive to be a safe, left-leaning, queer-friendly, communitarian space for all kinds of folk. before joining, make sure to read our community guidelines.
community guidelines
- you must be over 14 years old to join. coral castle's servers are hosted in chile, and under article 19,628 of the laws of chile, we are unauthorized to collect data from people under 14.
- do not spam or raid. the fediverse is not your space to intoxicate.
- nsfw/nsfl content must be marked as sensitive. coral castle is built to be used as a casual instance, and as such should be accessible anywhere.
- hate speech, paraphilia, and harassment will get you banned. having basic human decency is key anywhere. whether it is in real life or on the internet, don't be a jerk.
- keep things legal. this includes pirated content, since we want to keep a good relationship across fediverse servers. posting CSAM is strictly forbidden and will result in legal action.
moderation policies
the sanctions for local users will be relative to the gravity of their infringements, varying from simply deleting the offending material, to warning the user through a three-strike system, to immediately banning the offending user.
if you're an instance administrator and you think your instance was sanctioned by mistake, feel free to appeal by emailing me at lux@nixgoat.me
special thanks
