The decline of men approaching women functions like a political shock even when nobody frames it that way.It reshapes family formation. Fewer approaches mean fewer relationships, later marriages, lower birth rates, and accelerating demographic decline. That feeds directly into labor shortages, pension stress, immigration politics, and generational conflict. Governments can pass incentives but they cannot legislate attraction or courage.Second, it polarizes gender politics. Many women interpret non-approach as disinterest or resentment while many men experience it as rational risk avoidance shaped by social sanction, economic precarity, and fear of misreading norms. Each side builds narratives about the other and political movements harvest those grievances.Third, it weakens informal social trust. Approaching a stranger used to be a low-level civic act that trained people to tolerate rejection, ambiguity, and difference. When that disappears, people retreat into apps, algorithms, and identity-filtered spaces which harden group boundaries and reduce empathy.Fourth, it shifts power to platforms and institutions. Dating apps, HR departments, and legal frameworks mediate intimacy that used to be negotiated face to face. That concentrates cultural authority in systems optimized for liability management and profit, not human bonding.Finally, it produces downstream radicalization. Large populations of unattached men historically correlate with instability, withdrawal, or extremist politics. Most do not become violent but many disengage from civic life, work, and optimism itself which is politically corrosive.
Technology?
You don't need that.
>>107891990I don't get zig. It does the rust thing of making everything overly difficult to do. It does the c++ thing of being a dogshit language. But it also does the C thing of being riddled with memory errors? Who exactly is the audience for this language?>>107892542I as an experienced programmer happen to know it means you shouldn't touch the language with a ten foot pole. Hence why I wonder at all the people seemingly using the language.>>107892554You can "dude just remember to free when you allocate" in C. Do retards not understand why that isn't good enough?

>>107893415Don't go too hard but latency of < ~20 ms is too low for normal day to day usage. Even 100 ms is still okay for professional applications like if you are recording guitar (but this tends to be the upper limit in my experience, after this you will feel the delay).
>>107893632You can also just start each line with a # though >BBBBUTTT I'M TOO LAZY Your editor should be able to do this for you.

Finally got Gentoo with Grub2 + LUKS + Dracut + BTRFS working. Now I can move on to ZFS to get this same setup booting into a ZFS root, I'd guess it just requires minimal change to dracut configs so that root=ZFS=UUID and add zfs dracut module and remove /etc/fstab root entries and FUCK SOME OF THESE CAPTCHAS.
What am I in for?

Is this worth upgrading to Windows 11 from 10 ltsc for?Can you just turn on HDR and forget about it in 11?
>>107893790i guess there's no guarantee that the reported value is accurate either
>>107893602I don't want accuracy. I want neon flashes in retro pixel games to be eye searing.>>107893643Native in HDR mode means SDR colors are still mapped to SRGB primaries while only HDR colors are stretched.You can try www.wide-gamut.com/test in edge or chrome-likes to see how badly your SDR applications are clamped.Only if you both disable HDR and use Native mode you will get wide gamut primaries in unmanaged content.

Am I seriously meant to believe that grown men with testosterone are getting teary eyed about AI generated porn? This feels like such a psyop.

>>107892038nigga, when was the last time zucky jucky jewky had any say on anything global? 2007? thats like 20 years ago my nigga. Why do i need ot care about what some old fart has to say? in 2007 i did not care what Clint Eastwood had to say about shit and Clint Eastwood was 6 000 000 times the man this israeli is. Phones today are made in china and with chinese OSes. The west has no say in the matter. Its a castrated cat - this is what the west is.

I can't buy anything at stores because my phone broke and every bank requires you to confirm on your app before extracting money.I tried going to the webpage on my computer but it's not allowed if you don't confirm with your phone, one of my banks doesn't even let you log in without the phone, there simply isn't a way to do anything on computer.I tried running them on waydroid but my OS and graphic card don't work. I tried android studio but it lags like crazy if you run something with the playstore installed.When is convergence arriving exactly guys? I need it bad. This isn't the future I was promised when Linux on phones appeared to be the future
