I don’t think he is proposing another dimension, but rather another scale. As you already said, we already filter the information that reaches us.

He seems to take this idea of filtering/censorship to an extreme. Where I see filtering mostly as a matter of convenience, he portrays information as a threat that people need to be protected from. He implies that being presented with information that challenges your world view is something bad, and I disagree with that.

I am not saying that filtering is bad. I too have blocked some communities here on Lemmy. I am saying that it is important not to put yourself in a bubble, where every opinion you see is one you agree with, and every news article confirms your beliefs.

I think the right approach would be to learn to deal with any kind of information, rather than to censor anything we might not like hearing.

I’d say an ally is someone you have an alliance with, so someone with who you have agreed to pursue a common goal. So yeah, I’d say if you are someone’s ally, they are also yours.

That differs somewhat from how it’s used in the LGBT+ community, where it refers to non-LGBT+ supporters of LGBT+ rights.

Don’t try to point out why they are wrong, but rather why you believe what you believe. And when they tell you why they believe what they do, no matter how ridiculous it might seem, respect their opinion and explain which points exactly you disagree with and why.

I think the idea of trying to convince the other is flawed in itself. It implies that you are right and they are wrong. Approach any conversation with that mindset, and neither their nor your opinion will change.

Instead, try to see a discussion as a way to exchange perspectives with the goal of finding the truth. Only if you are open to the idea of changing your mind can you hope to change that of your conversation partner.

I really enjoyed Watch_Dogs, despite the shit it got at the time.

Not exactly like the ones you oncluded, but I really like this one: Challenger - Lemmino

Writing to an SSD damages the SSD, however things saved to an SSD are persistent, meaning the data isn’t lost when the SSD doesn’t get any power. Writing to RAM doesn’t damage it and it is also quicker. However, data saved on RAM is not persistent, meaning that all data is lost as soon as the RAM is not connected to a power source. Also, RAM is a lot more expensive than SSD storage.

RAMs are already used to avoid writing to (or reading from) the SSD or HDD when possible, the concept is called “Caching”
