  • That's your take reading a post talking explicitly about how a person won't be outraged about something without actually taking into consideration how the people who the issues is about feel or act?

    Maybe you should stop for a moment, think over what you've said and read, and consider that many of these discrimated groups can actually think for ourselves and doesn't need to be told what to be outraged over?

  • I mean if you're going fast enough with a pointy train, you could chop up people pretty easy. You just need to make sure that each person is a tire width apart to make sure the wheels don't lose traction. Assuming a person is roughly half a metre across and a tire is 75cm in diameter, we get 1.25m per person, so a track of 1250km for a million people. Not very long at all.

  • Let's also start removing phrases with white, yellow and brown as those are used to refer to people's skin colour as well.

    The only reason I would even contemplate not using blacklist or white washing is if an actual person of that skin colour says that it is not okay for them, or there's an actual consensus among people of that community that it isn't acceptable.

    I can tell you as a person with brown skin, with brownie or whatever used as a derogatory name, almost everyone I know isn't even concerned with terms like brown out or brown note.

    Online outrages or articles aren't an accurate depiction of reality.

    Even more dangerously, shit like this drives outrage and diverts attention from actual, real issues faced by people of different races. Like not having stuff to eat or indoor plumbing or mental health infrastructure or access to health care.

  • It would be cool if each buyer has a unique hash and elements of the art are AI generated (like the background or texture) using some chaotic process with the hash as the seed, so that everyone gets a unique version. I would pay maybe a couple of bucks for something like that.

    lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmy
  • They have from some instances with questionable content but not many others without questionable content. The question is do you persecute someone because you think you would be badly affected if they commit a crime in the future, even though they haven't so far and doesn't seem to be on the path to either?

    lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmy
  • That's not what the poster is talking about. Whether the piracy subreddit or the lemmy community, there are strict rules about sharing copyrighted content, asking for it or posting links to it. These communities are about discussing different technologies around BitTorrent, usenet or debrid and how to leverage them to share content.

    All of the above can be used for perfectly legal reasons such as sharing Linux ISOs or public domain media.

    If you use those to pirate copyrighted content that's your decision.

    Calling these communities illegal and blocking them is akin to schools not permitting students to use backpacks or lockers because they could be used to hide guns.

  • You see later that she was a blood purist and tortured only those who she thought of as blood traitors or whatever. That's par on course with people who sided with voldemort. After the quidditch world cup the death eaters tried to torture a muggle family, including the children I think.

    Sometimes there is a better choice than Javascript
  • That isn't the fault of the language though. It does what it was designed to well. Maybe it is I'll suited to achieve things it wasn't designed to do?

    I could absolutely write code to do data analytics with C and gnuplot, does that mean they're the appropriate tools for doing that when pandas, SPSS, Julia or matlab exists? Probably not.

  • Try to not be reactive. Take appropriate action whenever needed but choose to act after a delay so that you aren't responding impulsively. In my experience 90% of conversations that were problematic could have been avoided if either party chose to walk away or take a break.

    which linux distro do you NOT like, and why?
  • Yast. I love zypper and opi but yast is super weird. Like if you want to do things that you can do with yast, you probably know how to do it on terminal.

  • Really? I find that css is pretty much the ugly part of html. Html is no worse than markdown or latex. If you just wrote plain HTML and were okay with how it rendered, you would have nicely structured code.

  • With Netflix and other streaming platforms increasing price, I finally decided to get a seedbox for my family members' needs with Plex/jellyfin.

    My budget is 10-15 USD per month. I'm currently on the 11$ hostingby.design plan with 4TB storage and 9TB traffic, 10gbit connection. I've been mostly happy but,

    • Their app selection feels small though I've found most of the mainstream stuff.
    • I'm missing things like cross-seed, jellystat, jellyfin-vue, transmission and audiobookshelf.
    • Not happy with how apps installed by the GitHub scripts are not available on HTTPS.
    • Can't disable ssh password login for public key, which is making me really uncomfortable.
    • Their wiki seems quite sparse.

    The other options I'm thinking of are:

    • 13$ HDD plan at seedhost.eu - 4TB/9TB but only 1gbps, downgrade in specs but seems to have more apps.
    • 14$ plan at ultra.cc with 3TB/8TB but 20gps (which feels like an overkill honestly). Also a downgrade but their wiki/app support looks top notch.

    I really wish there was a way I could manage docker containers on my own on a similar shared setup without paying for a dedicated vps but haven't found something like that so far.

    Any advice regarding the other providers, experience or otherwise would be greatly appreciated :)
