there are definitely arguments to regulate against it, i'm not here to make those arguments, or argue against it, i'm just here to argue that you as an individual person have a right to hold yourself responsible for the media you consume, it's not difficult, it's taught to you in high school, assuming you can read and write, if you went to college, great, you literally do that the entire time you're there, that's the one thing you should be doing.

If you don't and you work in a blue collar job, it probably requires similar attention from you in the same manner, just apply it universally.

You really don’t have to consciously consume it. You can literally leave auto-play on YouTube and it will steadily pull you down the rabbit hole. These people aren’t logging in to nazi.com and ravenously looking for content (at least most aren’t).

maybe if you have degenerative brain damage, or are asleep, otherwise yes, you are making the conscious choice to watch nazis talk about nazi things for 3 hours, that's literally something you consciously engage with simply by listening to, or even looking at.

This is why it's so important to be conscious of the media you're consuming, in the same way it's important to be conscious about the products you're buying and the services you're using.

I’ll give them a mulligan.

look bro, all i'm saying is that you don't accidentally become a nazi, if i gave you a knife, and told you to murder somebody, and walked away, you wouldn't do that, you would probably call the police on me because that's really fucking weird.

on the server side, sure, on the development side, sure, on the desktop side? Not very much, it's usable, thanks to the core of dedicated users, but to be "perfected" it needs a larger userbase.

This kind of thinking - that your generation is somehow uniquely equipped like no other prior human beings before - is complete delusion

to be completely devils advocate here, the human mind is not a static blob of inputs and outputs, it's a variable soup of neurons with connections between different neurons as they try and establish patterns and reasons between things. People who have grown up today, compared to people who grew up 200 years ago, are quite literally fundamentally different. Every generation is raised differently to the previous, it's why every generation behaves differently to the previous generations. It's just that the difference is less significant than most would think.

The entire reason why "post truth society" is even a thing now is because of this fundamental operation of human psychology, shit changes, and we change with the shit.

People don’t want to hear the truth. Look at the sales on fiction vs. non-fiction.

This is an unfair comparison, it's like taking university textbook sales and comparing it to the bible and going "clearly people don't want science and data!"

To be fair, it is probably a true statement, if you were to analyze the content and media that people consume, it's likely to be very low in "hard facts" so i will give you that one, i just think it's an unreasonable comparison to be making.

A lot of the big sales in non-fiction (at least the heavily fact valued ones) are going to be books about like, psychology, sociology, math, science, biology, the one weird guy who wrote 20 books on trains because he has an extremely bizarre knowledge based on like three specific trains in general, probably a book about a plane as well, because why not. And a handful of other boring educational books, shit like cookbooks, machining, manufacturing, etc...

I'm not sure how much "based on a true story" bleeds into non-fiction, but i'm basing on a strict separator so.

To those raised on this content, what’s on social media is reality.

and to be fair, that's because it literally is, modern social life has moved to social media, people are lonelier than ever, there's a reason for it.

thank god, but you've definitely just willed one into existence, and i'm sure there will be one in a few years time.

there's definitely an interesting way to do it, i just don't think it would be something i want, though i'm always up for some theory crafting, so who knows, maybe there is a good way of doing it.

Maybe the trick is just doing like 1 AC outlet per wall, and then using DC outlets for most other receptacles, since most devices are going to be low draw.

I planned and sharing that third drive between Windows and Linux so I don’t require duplicating data.

you should definitely be able to do this, i've done it before and even played gtav off of it, i'm not sure if it has significant performance penalties, it might slow down game loading, or cause micro stuttering, weird stuff like that, but it will definitely work, it's just something you should use in the meantime while you work towards moving away from it in the future.

A home server/NAS is also in the works, and I’ll be looking into Samba.

there are other options, but im pretty sure every other option is based on the SMB protocol in some way, samba is just the most barebones way of doing it, if you like tinkering and just want a file sharing server on your local network, it'll work great, just be sure to enable that weird renaming flag that allows you to translate the character set, since windows has a very weird restriction character set for naming, while linux pretty much only prevents you from using / (directory separator)

truenas is one of the industry staples, but that's more involved, has a lot of config and flexibility as well,

It’s just been a bit enlightening finding out all the unicorns and rainbows on the Linux side of the fence are equines of indeterminate parentage with paper cones glued to their foreheads and RGB light strips soldered together with a “trust me” sticker on them.

it's both the worst, and the best part lol. It's great because everything is so standardized and well implemented half the time it feels like using an open ecosystem, which is truly the best. The other half of the time you have so many options you have no idea what to use, in which case i usually like to select by popularity and it's minimalism.

Microsoft is still a ghetto, and Apple is a WASP country club where the HOA president lives next door and is “retired”. Computers are both at an all-time high for choice and in some of the worst states it’s been in.

linux is quite literally whatever you want it to be, and that's why its the best. Can be anything from NYC to a suburb, to a hippie commune if you so choose, just depends on what you want lmao.

it requires you to put in your address to locate your lat and long so it can properly calculate your energy production, especially throughout the year. It may still do some tracking on that, but it's unlikely to be anything significant unless you have an account and money tied to it somehow.

But yes, a place close by you will work just as fine. Though you can expect some level of inaccuracy, it's probably not that significant if you're reasonably close.

this isn't cancel culture though, this is culling culture.

maybe if you explain to him the cause of the great depression being isolationist economic policy hitting everyone really hard, meanwhile japan with its keynesian policy managed to do pretty well, even in the face of global economic downturn.

Some people find facts more reasonable, ironically, even if they will cognitively dissonant themselves from them.

im pretty sure that's the exact implication being made lol

wait until everything gets a lot more expensive, and then ask him what happened lmao

TFE was a breaking point for the cult of the insane, it did some good, but they're all clearly insane.

I hold fast with my position in extremist satire that anyone who thinks this way should simply be terminated for the good of our species, call it eugenics if you want, i call it culling the catastrophe. (again, this is satire)

They just want to complain that Democrats ‘don’t do anything good when they have power, and wont even try when they know they cant win’ - handwaving away reality.

it's literally the meme of

lemmy: "you're not doing anything"

GOV: "i am literally doing everything"

lemmy: "you're not doing good enough"

GOV: "i'm literally the best in my field trying the best i can with good results"

lemmy: "well it's still not good enough"

GOV: "find me a better solution then."

this might actually work if this goes through the states in the midterms, might be a little bit too early for that to happen, but i guess we'll have to see. I would entirely expect this to be 100% possible to get passed, it just needs support.

immediately get rid of the gerontocracy (Schumer, Pelosi), regroup, find a leader with some balls and declare open warfare on Republicans.

to be fair, this is probably exactly what republicans want to be able to pull the entire curtain down.

finally something actually based, this would be such a good amendment.

Big thing I’m prying at is whether there would be a legitimate purpose to have duplicated SSNs in the database

formally, changing the identity of someone would have a very explicit reason to keep a "duplicate" ssn entry, if purely for historical reasons for example. I'm sure there are a myriad of technical reasons to be doing this.

it seems that nobody really cares about the word retard anymore, it's quite funny how it went from super common language, to being less common, to people just saying it again now.

I'm curious how many people actually consider the word a slur, and how many people even care these days.
