What is your favourite open source software that you discovered in the past year, that you can no longer live without?
  • Proton

    Mullvad is good like the other guy said but Proton has port forwarding, which if you don't wanna be a HnR jerk you wanna do

  • Or they can block your community and talk shit about vegans on every other thread after having an experience that validated what they've heard about those communities

    Which is what happens most, if not all, of the time

    So thanks for that, we don't like reading that spam either you know

    Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?
  • They could have a community center or a library. Sure funds are hard to come by but what kind of political party would even consider that?

    Funny enough here in the rural parts of CA I've seen Raleys and Holiday Markets putting in large community areas with amenities like cheap (sometimes free) printers, office space, children's areas, etc.

    They're not perfect or anything but its wild to see capitalist behemoths pull off something actually close to what the ideal would be, even if it's likely to manipulate people somehow

    Make it law that communities with a dollar general or fuck it any grocery store we all have to eat have a community center of halfway decent quality in it like those places have done willingly and you'll have an improvement, guaranteed

    This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • The first floor of a building is usually on a foundation, raising it above ground level

    We call the thing you stand on outside ground and inside we call them floors, "ground floor" is silly

    TIL: males have 25% more neurons in the visual cortex than females
  • I've seen multiple people suggest hunting and get correctly told thats inaccurate

    But would war fighting, or just fighting in general what with our aggression n shit help explain it?

    The only times I've noticed this discrepancy in life are when hunting with women of playing competitive FPS games with my wife watching. I'll regularly see and react to things they don't, and are shocked when I shoot the sniper out of the tree on the other side of the map because yes, I did see him and I'm not crazy when I say I see shit flicker gdi

    Aliasing also bothers me more than any woman I know, and everyone I know who hates it as much as me is a man

    This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • 0 is nothing, non-existent, etc., so it represents not being in the building, where there is no floor (we call it ground)

    It's the first floor that you encounter of a building, not the zeroeth floor you encounter

    Normal human convention is to count physical existing items from 1, I wouldn't say I'm wearing 0 shirts right now at work for example, or that I'm wearing 1 shoe

    This is a bigger culture shock than the metric vs imperial system to me.
  • In order to get symmetry, floor 0 should be the ground floor

    Floor 0 is "not in the building", nobody calls first/ground "0" in reality

    Then, we apply your own logic of adding a floor on going up to include "going in" and vice versa for "going out" and we get why the US does it the way we do

    Black mold growing on the dispensers at my local McDonald's
  • When I worked at subway.... Fuck me 10 years ago this month...

    We pulled them nipples and the inserts off every night and rinsed them in hot water, then left em overnight in sanitizer solution, and I (being 6'4") had to clean the ice holder every 2 weeks to a month, never got told bad in there thanks to that

    There was a picture our boss would show you of what happens when you don't that convinced everybody to clean it religiously. We got free drinks from the machine, after all, we'd only be killing ourselves faster with that shit being dirty

    Woman who was denied a liver transplant, after review highlighted alcohol use, has died
  • This woman died only because she was honest with her doctor about her alcohol use

    No, and it even says so in the article

    She quit about 5 months before her death when transplants require 6-12 months of sobriety. She was drinking regularly with the fucked up liver before that diagnosis, and liver damage isn't something that just suddenly appears.

    She kept drinking despite what would have been intense cramping pain and a slow death, thats why she was denied (addiction) and ultimately died

    Note that the article says her partner was a compatible donor but the system refused to accept him because she used alcohol

    And as the article also says it's incredibly dangerous for someone to get a live-donor transplant when they're in bad shape like she was, as failure of that means they'll need to let her die on-table or transplant a good dead one into her (which she was denied for, due to her drinking)

    It's sad, but this woman died to alcohol abuse, pure and simple

    Andrew Tate ‘raped and strangled us’ - women tell BBC
  • That has never in the entire history of the human race being an individual who looks more guilty than he does. He gives off rapist energy

    Completely agree. Too bad that's not proof of anything, we're supposed to learn that in grade school

    how can you possibly be defending him?

    They didn't, they simply reminded everyone that accusations are not in and of themselves proof even if we dislike the person immensely

    Dad & Dungeons & Dragons [Admiral Wonderboat]
  • I carefully got what I expected my party to get through for their first few sessions as maps into Roll20, fog of war so that they can only see what they'd reasonably have seen so far themselves, mood music set to play when going to the appropriate screens, snacks, and a big ass black cloak and evil laugh. Really went all out with it.

    The people I first did it for ghosted me and when I went by their house later that night (parents lived down the street) everyone's cars were there

    I still do whenever I get groups that want to play, but it always makes me feel like I'm wasting my time now :(

    Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills
  • To me it seems like you have done many entry level positions which yes, most require a lot of typing.

    I've done a lot of office positions, which require a lot of typing. The level of the job isn't nearly as important as the field

    I know it’s hard to imagine but there are a lot of blue collar jobs that use computers but don’t care if you type fast

    Cool with the condescension, you're nowhere near in the right enough for it. Speed isn't the only skill in typing, as well
