  • Oh I see. Not sure what they mean by "pay once", that was what made me think it was about buying software.

  • Brave has been hyped as a privacy browser despite having several major privacy failures baked into it repeatedly. It's 100% hype. You get the same level of privacy on paper by installing Chromium with an ad blocker and tweaking a couple settings. Firefox has better privacy defaults and is better with an ad blocker installed. Chromium has a slight edge on security (FF needs to really push tab isolation harder) but if privacy is your main concern I would always recommend FF.

  • Money is involved because people want to make a living off of their project. Also, every major browser has been backed with huge amounts of funding because supporting a browser is very difficult.

    That said, that doesn't mean every browser project is good, either. Just that it's reasonable to see why people would want to get income from their work.

    PS the Brave CEO sucks so I'm not sympathizing with him here.

  • Crypto is the dumbest hill to die on.

    It's tens of thousands of unregistered securities hype bubbles built on half-baked tech. There is nothing of value there.

    And Brave is just Chromium with a faux privacy mask.

  • Yes you're recognizing the liberal urge to defend fascist behavior

  • If that's the kind of logic that convinces you of things, you should check out all of the other people saying the same thing as me.

    Basically your one job as a leftist when it comes to capitalist propaganda is to not unquestioningly repeat it and guess what you're doing, lib. And it's in the realm of orientalism to boot. Not exactly distinguishing yourself.

  • -600 FICO score no home for you

    Now guess which one is more real

  • Try fixing that section, which is entirely speculation, and see how quickly it gets reverted and by whom. You'll quickly run into either a power user with reactionary politics that should've been banned ages ago per Wikipedia's own policies or a series of FirstWordLastWord962578 accounts making reversions with no explanation.

    The latter is what lazy government behavior looks like. The former is the larger social structures built around the acceptability and empowerments of reactionary thought and narratives that is inherently anticommunist.

    But really, go do it. Remove the section as speculation and show/tell us what happens.

  • Wikipedia article speculation cited as fact on lemmy dot net.

    Western propaganda is a series of clowns honking each other's noses all the way down.

  • *State violence is only bad when my ruling class tells me it is

  • The term for what the hog groomer is describing is fascism. That's what fascism is and does. It's an anti-left cooption and redirection of fallout from the consequences of liberalism into a false consciousness that points fingers in the vein of moral decay and nativism.

  • Publishers generally use free labor from professors and postdocs to do peer review. The only work the publisher really does is basic editing and marketing (to foster "prestige", really just building demand to publish there).

    The issue of the actual epistemology of science in practice is much more widespread and is a wider social issue rooted in the structure of the academy, particularly the way it promotes competition and has a marriage with practice that brings pressures of capitalism to bear on it.

  • Combine grep -l to find files with the shebang and cp to copy them to your docs folder. You can one-liner pipe or save the grep results to file and iterate. If the directories are nested and some of these files have the same name, they'll conflict if you don't include most of the original path in the cp target.

    If you need them to be executable I think I'd use find first.

  • That's ideally science but you're gonna have low-impact papers if you don't do the "look at this new thing I 'proved'" song and dance. Publishing culture and self-promotion in academia make everything worse.

    Incidentally, I know someone that tried publishing a paper to explain why a very common method actually led to bad results very often. It showed methodology and had verification from another group using independent materials. The paper was rejected because, "everyone knows that method X works great you must've done something wrong".

    There's a lot of myth-making in how science works, following prescriptive announcements of "the scientific method". In reality it's just humans trying things out and using "good enough" ideas regardless of how well they are investigated. If the ideas are truly 100% wrong in a way that precludes further work, they'll get discarded. But wrong ideas can still persist for decades or more so long as they don't disrupt other things working well enough. That methodology earlier was "good enough" despite major flaws so the academy said, "it's actually 100% right" right up until they abandoned the method (which they did for unrelated reasons).

  • Use tasksel to install, then choose a different desktop on the login screen

  • Both sever and instance have multiple meanings when it comes to deploying Lemmy though.

    An instance is running Lemmy publicly, but also just running the APU creates an instance of that API. To scale, you'd probably run multiple instances of the web API.

    Same applies to server, but worse. You could also call the web API a web server. You could also call a VM a server. You could also call the physical machine a VM is on a server.

    When it comes to naming stuff, it's best to find something unambiguous if it's a core defining thing you want to tell people about. Private corps do this to build a "brand", which is still a valuable thing for open projects so that they can gain adoption.

  • High Availability stans are angry about your question.

    Basically... both options are ambiguous. Would be best if they used a more unique name. Like a burrow (many lemmings build burrows).
