My pet peeve is when the go to response in those exact same forums and chat is “we have an answerflow” followed by a link. I know you have an answer flow, and its indexing and search is shit under ideal circumstances. If you don’t discuss the thing and make a modicum of effort to organize the server then answer flow is even worse and even less useful.

Veritasium was bought years ago. No editorial freedom. Never heard of SpaceTime. I have better sources for science than YouTube slop, thank you.

Climate change whitewashing for corporations with awful conflicts of interest. Others have posted the links to the videos elsewhere in this comment section.

The channel hat always been disingenuous. It’s not the first video they have where they develop a well written essay that has conclusions that make no sense with the information presented. It’s the theater of research without any of the substance. The editors just do whatever they want, under the expectations that the writing team will support their preconceived notion.

They’re an entertainment channel, not a science communication channel. They have said some awful, totally not fact supported stuff in the past.

Uh, lots of really great painters have aphantasia. It’s very prominent in the population and 100% not a medical disability. Art is a skill. There’s people without arms that paint. Deaf people who make music. There’s blind people drawing. There’s this cool japanese girl without an arm that plays the violin. There’s all sorts of people who make art, because humans can’t not make art.

Are you going to win prices and sell work for millions of dollars, or feature at the MOMA, or play at the Superbowl half time show? Or achieve any of the inane arbitrary goalpost that people like to set for calling stuff real art. Most assuredly you won’t. Because less than 0.1% of all the people in the planet will achieve any of that. But every single child has and will be born an artist. Every child draws, sings, dances and plays spontaneously. All that is art.

If you think only people born artists can make art, congratulations, you were born an artists, every human is, go do your art. If you think only specific people with extraordinary characteristics get to make art. I’m sorry you were hurt so bad to develop such bleak worldview and poor self image.

If you do art, you’ll get good at art. If you don’t do art and instead make the slop machine manufacture expensive Styrofoam for you to chew on, then you’ll never get good at art. Regardless of your biological makeup. Being shit at doing something is the first and mandatory step for becoming good at doing something. Do it poorly until you can do it decently, then do it some more. Art is the experience of doing art. Even bad art is superior to mass consumption generated pixels.

The only Microsoft’s app that I used everyday, multiple times a day in the past. Just to avoid the computer from completely crashing.

Fuck cars

If true, then OP is on the high pressure pipeline to incel manosphere.

The Bear. The show is just a bunch of people trying to process the grief of traumatic life experiences while simultaneously trying to survive the loss of a beloved person in common. All this through the power of cooking and yelling very loudly. The food is awesome though.

Part of the point of so many of Batman’s villains is that, to quote joker, it’s not about the money but about sending a message. Or holding power in many cases. Many of the most corrupt villains are not only bankrolling bribes, they are also blackmailing tons of people and many more live under threat to loved ones. Wayne just waltzing in and saying “I’ll pay you triple to be good” does nothing. Because if they don’t do the villain’s biding they will get murdered and their family will be slaughtered. Hence the need for a vigilante to disrupt the corrupt system with direct action. That’s the whole arc of Harvey Dent, for example. The system took him down in the worst possible way to shape him into another morally bankrupt psycho.

Because then you’re just describing Audacity. The concerning feature has to be intentionally activated by the user. And if you download and build it yourself then that part of the code isn’t even accessible. You have to modify the code to activate it before you build it. I’m actually glad with the way they handled it. They listen to the user base and if you follow tantacrul he regularly consults changes with the users.

Point of clarification. No protection from Geneva conventions is not lack of any protection. Geneva conventions forbade certain acts and weapons, regardless of the target. This includes torture and sexual violence. Combatant status also doesn’t preclude other protections like fundamental human rights protections. You still shouldn’t be summarily executed or tortured due to combatant status.

Using subterfuge and deception is perfectly lawful. Otherwise basic stuff like camouflage would be war crimes. But that’s not what unlawful combatant is about. Terrorism is always unlawful, for example, because the main target is civilians in order to cause, well, terror. It doesn’t matter if the terrorists were using their club’s pin badge that day or not. Similarly, if you are a civilian in civilian clothes and take up a rifle to shoot at a party in an armed conflict, congratulations, you just became a lawful combatant. You became a lawful combat target, your Hawaiian shirt notwithstanding.

You’re an unlawful combatant if you’re targeting protected classes, like civilians, wounded, prisoners, health care personnel, etc. Even if you’re clearly in your new uniform with fresh new tags. Clothing is a secondary aspect. The main defining feature is always role and behavior. Like, creating a combat unit of snipers specialized in targeting journalists, that would be a group of unlawful combatants.

Life sentences and multiple consecutive life sentences are stupid and schizoid punishments. Completely disconnected from reality in the pursuit of some ultimate revenge thirst. They have nothing to do with justice.

Most countries have accepted that there needs to be a limit on sentencing. Mostly they settle between 30 and 50 years of imprisonment.

Panic gets the best of most players. If you take time and patience to observe the patterns, you realize it is all very logical and well structured. Super predictable and the designers created clear paths that become obvious once you get it. Also, part of the message of the game is that you cannot and actually are not required to be everywhere or do everything. You can finish the game in a single loop right from start. But that’s not what the game is about.

Ok listen. That is the way governments want you to think in order to get away with erasing your right to privacy. It’s the old “I have nothing to hide” argument.

But here’s the thing. You have a butthole. I have a butthole. Everyone in the planet has a butthole. Having a butthole is nothing to be ashamed of, it is not a crime to have a butthole. No one will prosecute you for having a butthole. But that doesn’t mean it is ok for the government to see everyone’s butthole. That’s your right to privacy.

If you want to protect children, you turn to social scientists to understand the problems and identify the ways in which to catch and prosecute offenders. Weaponizing surveillance on everyone in order to catch a very tiny percentage of population who might be committing a crime is hurting everyone.

Privacy is not about empowering pedos, it is about protecting everyone’s rights. Erode one right and you erode all rights. Once the system is in place, then political surveillance to destroy democracy and install fascism is what follows.

Ironically, the global fascism is currently run by pedophiles.

Oh yes, just targeting the PC, the magical fairytale console that only has one hardware configuration that never changes and is so notoriously easy to develop for.

You were raised right. What you are describing is the “fundamental attribution error” bias. As an interesting side point, you are doing it with this post right now.

All humans tend to judge others more harshly than we judge ourselves. It is just the way our brains are wired. If it wasn’t that way, then your parents wouldn’t have needed to be so insistent on you being responsible and accountable. The fact is that, it is not a moral failure in itself. Everyone does it spontaneously and it takes a good deal of life experience and maturity to recognize it in oneself and to correct for it.

This is a different point from institutional and cultural patterns that you identify as hypocrisy or irresponsibility. Corporations are not individuals so they can’t have morals. At most they can have ethical codes and people willing to police and enforce them. This is different from individual human morals.

I’m sorry, What?

I invite you to go to the top of the thread too. The part where I made a comment to a third person, not you BTW, and then you decided to interject with aggression and insults. You tell me who is the petulant child. Because I did gave you the benefit of the doubt and attempted to deescalate this idiotic conversation being patient and reasonable. But you had to win the conversation, didn’t you?

You gave me the win? Do you think all conversations are about win or lose conditions? That’s the most immature and stupid way to go about communication in general, and specially the internet. This is precisely the kind of Manichean worldview I identified and referred to previously. I don’t need your win, not everything is win-lose, not everything is black and white.

Then you try and give me a lesson? Yes, I have downvoted the whole conversation because after the second reply or so, this whole thread has not contributed at all to Lemmy as a whole and I regret the time I have invested in trying to educate a childish doorknob. I will not be replying anymore. Have a day.

This whole post—not just this comment thread—is precisely the definition of “my ignorance is equal to your expertise”. Bunch of people spouting opinions from common understanding on things they don’t understand. It’s not the first time that common usage of groups of people is entirely off with scientific facts. Like, the whole point of OP is that they disagree with something because they don’t understand it. It’s a tale as old as time itself. If we only followed common usage you would not be using soap and treatment for fever would still be bloodletting.

Running navidrome is extremely easy and non-invasive. it takes close to no config and is very minimal. It never touches or changes your files either. It is worth to give it a try to see if Chora is right for you.
