I think the concept of an ideal may be flawed. What is ideal changes based on what the current situation is.
That goes for the ideal human body as well as the ideal human philosophy. We need to evolve constantly to fit with our current situation.
People get fat because famines killed people a lot. People have sickle cell anemia because sickle cell traits protect against malaria which killed people a lot. A lot of cancers are caused by mechanisms that protect against things that kill people a lot. Different personality traits that look suboptimal exist because those strategies were successful over time. Yeah these traits look bad when that situation doesn't exist, but they're much more likely to help in the aggregate than to hurt particularly with stuff like cancers which tend to kick in after an individual has reproduced so don't have as much of an evolutionary impact.
A lot of the same goes for philosophies -- people tend to follow what works, and what works at one time doesn't work all the time -- ask gen z as they're given advice by boomers.
All this is one good reason to be wary of genetic engineering. We'll get rid of all the "bad traits" and be wiped out because some of them were there for good reasons we don't understand.
That's not really true though. You can choose between the blue uniparty and the red uniparty (and occasionally an orange or light blue or purple uniparty)
Its a false choice. You get to choose between different colors of corrupt establishment who become rich off of their time in government because it turns out when you give someone that level of money and power they'll definitely find ways to get some of it for themselves.
You're not entirely wrong, but you're not entirely right.
You can use a screwdriver to stab someone, or you can use it to fix something. It isn't about the tool itself, it's about what you're doing with it.
Some people take social media and use it to connect to others, or they use it to help build something they wouldn't have otherwise. Many people take social media and use it as a weak simulation of what they're missing from their lives. It's all about what you do with the tool.
I'm probably in a minority where I preferred tng to ds9, and I identify ds9 as the "darker grittier trek" that led to the long vacuum of trek. It was extraordinary, but like a lot of outliers, I think it gave the studios the wrong message about what people wanted.
Absolutely, extremely conservative, and it predates Christianity by hundreds of years. But are we going to say they fear and hate everything? I have a sneaking suspicion that the statement was only intended to be referring to White American religious conservatives. The world is a big big place. Broad generalizations apply broadly and can have connotations that aren't intended.
You don't need a local DNS server to set up https, but you do need a domain name. If it's something that you wanted to pick up, you can buy them at a number of different places and you'd have to set up a mechanism to make sure the IP address referenced is the correct one. You can either do that by having a static IP address or by setting up some form of dynamic DNS. Then you can use letsencrypt to set up https.
Okay so here's I think the core of your question though: the only way that someone outside of your network can access your nextcloud is if you have set up the server to be accessible from the outside world. You would have to go into your router and forward Port 80 to the local IP address of your nextcloud server. If you don't do that, then it will only be accessible to the people inside of your network. Rotors do something called Network address translation which lets many devices on your local network connect to the internet despite only having one external IP address. If you're accessing the server using a 192.168 address or a 10.x.x.x address you are already using the internal IP address and not your external Internet IP address so you're likely safe.
One neat trick because remembering IP addresses is a pain in the butt is the hosts file. On windows it's in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and you can set a hostname to immediately resolve to a certain IP address. It's particularly nice because it's free, it's fast, and once you set it you can forget it.
My websites are on the public internet, but I use the host to file to point them at the internal IP address because that way I can directly connect to my servers even when the internet is down.
Orthodox Jews and confucian Chinese are both deeply conservative because those ideologies are deeply conservative. I chose them because most people wouldn't say such a hateful thing about those two groups since they're not what you typically imagine when someone says "conservative".
The juxtaposition of attaching the original writers hateful generalization with communities with a history of being oppressed and the statement that I will try to be more open minded is supposed to be ironic, like "I'll be more open minded in the future and remember that Orthodox Jews fear everything and hate everything"
Wish I could give more than one upvote given that the balanced view you present is obviously controversial amongst a Reddit crowd.
I think the other thing that maybe people need to remember is that there's pretty much always someone further left than you, and there's a good chance they consider you a conservative. There's always another further out there idea, and in that way a lot of people who used to be lefties turned into conservatives simply by not picking up on the new thing. Then it's guilt by association, instead of just being one tick less progressive, people end up getting tired with all of the worst brushes.
Another thing that is a reality that isn't going to make a lot of people happy is virtually every culture has conservatives of some kind. There are conservatives in africa, and in asia -- there's a lot of conservatives in Asia in fact. There's conservatives amongst the Jews, there's conservatives amongst the Indians and in the Middle East. And not all of that conservatism comes from one place.
The world is a lot more complicated than people seem to think, and we're starting to see that coming to fruition because not everyone who opposes Western liberal conservatism is a western liberal.
I ANAL 😏 but in order to claim their fees are excessive, I'd expect that the plaintiffs would need to show that they are substantially higher than fees in other circumstances. I don't think 15-20% is unusual for other software stores, including the google play store which has a number of competitors on android, or steam on PC which also has a number of competitors on PC.
It would really depend on the diagnosis of a clinician, anything is definitely just conjecture.
Bipolar is often more like periods of high energy and periods of low energy as I understand it.
The swings between ideation and demonization is a trait of borderline personality disorder, however, and one that I have experienced first-hand with an ex. The way I've had it explained to me is that where sociopathy is an inability to regulate your behavior, BPD is an inability to regulate your emotions.
After realizing that it would put a bunch of black guys and a bunch of KKK members in the same space intentionally because it drives overall engagement, it became clear that's what it was. haha
Depends on the house, they're sometimes built like the rings of a tree with different materials in different parts of it. I've got a copper drain line for some reason.
The logo change has brought out a new wave of articles and tweets about it, and people go "oh no that's right I'm on twitter! Well THIS is the final straw! Thank goodness there were all these hate articles and tweets that reminded me I was supposed to be angry!"
Also, many of the people who "jump ship" are right back on Twitter within a week. mastodon.social has an entire graveyard of celebrity accounts that haven't been posted to in months because the outraged celebrities just went back to twitter.
I'm happy for Mastodon (I run a fediverse instance and the more users there are the more chances of interesting people and the like), and some of those people do realize they like the vibe more and stay, and a lot of those bumps are significant for the platform. The thing is, we're talking a few hundred thousand, maybe a million accounts of 200 million daily active users on twitter.
