I think they mean not letting the ideas go unchallenged. If someone is reading through and sees a bunch of Nazis posting hate all up somewhere with no one else saying anything, they might assume that sort of behavior is just tacitly accepted and influence their perception of the community as a whole.
Yep. Even if you’re buying a product which is by meaningful standards “100% American made,” consider the invisible costs. The cost of the packaging that they use, the cost of the supplies/equipment they use in production and the upkeep required to maintain them, the cost of the infrastructure they use for logistics and operations, etc.
All these less visible dependencies affect the cost of doing business and can still be impacted by tariffs if anything comes from overseas, even if the product itself is just a bottle of maple syrup made in Vermont.
“Jesus lived in poverty and he did alright.” - A (thankfully former) coworker who disagreed with my assertion that minimum wage should be livable.
Jesus was also murdered by his government, Ian! That’s not what I’d call alright!
It doesn’t matter who the hell wants to buy TikTok if ByteDance still doesn’t want to sell.
I don’t know why we keep having these sorts of conversations when they’ve signalled they have no intent to give in to the demands of the US.
I mean, we’re here talking about it, aren’t we?
Even numbers are the purest numbers. Perfectly balanced. Most odd numbers are flawed but can be made perfect together.
Primes, though. Primes can fuck right off no matter what.
I’d like to stay optimistic and hope they did as well, though if my own experience is any indicator, there’s equal chance they fell into the pit of “Maybe climate change is real, but it’s not that bad/it’s better for me.”
“If you had just picked a better water bucket, we wouldn’t be in this mess. It’s your fault if the house burns down.”
Humans (and most other animals) see better side-to-side than up-down. Your eyes are spaced horizontally, giving us a wider horizontal field of vision. People generally prefer putting things side-to-side in work environments, maybe also reflecting how much easier it is to move and work within a horizontal plane than a vertical one. So the upper threshold for monitor width would be longer than the upper threshold for monitor height.
That being said, I know reading is best done in narrower columns, to reduce the amount of left-right movement your eyes need to do which can cause you to lose your place when skimming lines. Three columns of text on a 16:9 monitor is way more readable than one column of text that spans the entire monitor.
And then why do we make an exception for phones which are predominantly used in portrait mode? I guess maybe just for easier 1-handed use? Maybe also to give us more peripheral vision of potential hazards and other things happening in the background when using them, since they’re mobile devices.
Ending it as quickly and painlessly as possible then, I guess. I stick by the opinion that a life without agency and with no means to obtain it isn’t really living at all.
Fuck Oracle.
Good recommendations, I hadn’t even considered Zoom and we use it all the time for work.
It sounds like you have no agency either way, then, which still sounds like a bad deal to me. I’d rather die at 40 living a life of my choosing than live to 400 with essentially no free will.
I’m not sure I understand the question. If the premise is that you become physically incapable of doing any action that introduces greater risk than some alternative, which isn’t even a guarantee of “immortality” as described, then it’s basically a life not lived at all. The safest option would always be to go nowhere, do nothing, speak to no one.
Imagine living life as if everything was covered in California Prop 65 labels saying “This action can expose you to risks which are known to future you to cause premature demise or other bodily harm.” It sounds awful, I’d never take that bet.
Not the best answer because it’s not open source, but both Google Photos and Apple iCloud support automatic cloud backups of photos and videos over data. That media can also be accessed separately from a browser or another device after logging in.
Those are the only immediate solutions for the problem you describe that I can think of off the top of my head, I’m afraid, but hopefully other options are out there, too.
True, another valid point.
They probably can, even if it means spending billions more in the end to hire out private contractors to do the work they can’t find enough sycophants for. The whole point is grift.
I mean, DOGE is already an example. They’re just hiring conservative kids fresh out of college for peanuts because they believe blindly serving the Trump admin is the most alpha resume builder one could ask for. The government is basically being run like one big racist fraternity.
And if they can’t find enough people to do the actual work, they just do things like give NASA contracts to SpaceX so Elon and his billionaire bros can get richer off the taxpayer dollar.
Well first you ask, and then later you give a completely unrelated donation. After all, buying favor would be illegal, this is just free speech, which is fine as long as you don’t talk about Palestine.
