Disconnecting for your stressful daily routine is therapy.

You don't need to make a 16h plane flight to achieve that.

Pathetic. I can easily overcome the gravitational pull of all the milky way just with my pinkie.

I've been thinking for years. Maybe there's a way to do a collaborative crawler and indexer. In a similar way on how collaborative science is done. And probably using p2p protocols.

Get a bunch of people together to create the perfect search engine in these dire times.

It's an experiment for the Duncan Princicle!

Not everything is improving.

These last week I had to make some questions about a topic to test myself, and to practice answering those questions.

I don't need to improve in "question writing skills" or anything like that. Even better, it's very convenient to not known what questions would I get so it's more like a real exam. So I just took an LLM inputted the topic I wanted to be asked about and told it to make me questions.

I'm very happy with the results, it was fast and help me practice answering the questions about the topic I was studying.

Same applies to AI tools. Try to make a coherent program with it without knowing how to program. Try to make a pretty picture without knowing. You'll end with very bad results.

But if you know the base of a topic any tool can enhance your efficiency at it.

To be fair I've seen the exact same treatment in mods and admins from other places. Just changing the subjects.

Just recently in a community I would not mention a mod started to straight up insulting me while pointing out how I was breaking the rules by not providing source for every word I wrote and the rules said that I must source my arguments. (Spoilers they didn't back up their claims either, and went into a breakruling name-calling streak just to top it). And it was not on .ml or anything related.

Power tripping mods be power tripping mods.

It's not about not knowing about the sea. It's about the sea not knowing about us.

I don't want periphylla periphylla to know where I live.

I don't know fully what's they are doing. But here's my workflow with watchtower.

I have a cron task that runs watchtower every day on monitor-mode and only-once one time a day. That creates a list on what containers can be uograded. They using shourrr (it's already integrated with watchtower it's just an environment variable to do this) I send myself a message to my phone informing me of what updates are available. If I see fit to upgrade everything I just run watchtower once without monitor mode to upgrade all. I have pendant to automate this last part in a way that I just answer to the bot that's informing me of the updates and should apply the command without having me ssh into the server. But as for now I have to ssh and run a script I have at hand to launch the upgrade with watchtower.

There are some problematic containers that I don't want to upgrade this way. For those I have their compose files version locked and I upgrade them manually when I want.

This. Except for a few projects that have given me headaches for an automatic update before (I'm looking at you Jellyfin). Those I have them locked to a version and only upgrade when I think it's truly stable (spoiler: stable release was not stable) and when I know I will have time to fix things that may broke.

There's several factors here.

The most important probably being the energy per square meter. Higher latitudes gets less energy per square meter than equatorial latitudes.

There's also the mentioned cloud cover and atmosphere density.

The climate it's also important. As higher latitudes tends to be more cloudy.

And sun hours, here is not about the total energy but how it's distributed. As sun hours are more estable near the equator (12 hours light 12 hours dark) while in higher latitudes you can get 4 hours light some times of the year that can't amount to nothing, and 20 hours of day other times of the year which are nice, but there's no way to store that energy for the winter lack of sunlight.

I take immature as a compliment here.

What do you want, a boring picture driven by society expectations, adulthood stress and other people's pressures. Or a fun picture idea that came from a mind still able to be creative and lighthearted?

It's immature and you should do it.

You are doing way better than I was doing at 22.

I was studying a career that I didn't like and ended up working as something completely different. I didn't have a stable job until I was almost in my 30s. You are doing great.

It fits if you know that what orangutans are doing is beyond sin. The don't partake in sin because they are the sin.

I haven't used photoshop or any other "industry standard" in more than a decade.

Still, everytime I open Gimp I have to look up for the "increase/decrease brush size" shortcut, because it's so dawn counter intuitive.

Here goes gossip from my job.

• There was this janitor guy that used to be around and we haven't seen him in a while turns out he was stealing from people's desks.
• You know our ex boss, who was suddenly degraded? Turns out he committed a crime, and he is going to jail in a few months, if you see him happy lately it's because he is full of drugs to cope with the anxiety.
• This woman who just came out from her wedding, all the office know she hooked up with the guy from accounting a few months ago.
• These two guys who used to be friends and don't talk anymore? You know the reason, this pretty new girl both of them fall for her. She had nothing with either of them, but they stopped talking regardless because both think the other one is the reason she don't hook up with them.

But you are not part of their movement, at most are a supporter. You get excluded from being part of it if you try. You need labels to be included. No labels no representation. That's why we see people collecting more and more labels each day, because without a label you are nothing in the movement.

And you may support, but you are not part of the decision making, you are not considered when decisions are being made. Solidarity is expected from you, but you should not expect nothing in return.

This may suffice for you. You may need nothing for your selfless support. But most people are not like that. More people when they feel that kind of exclusion just move out ot the movement and do their own thing. Because everyone wants their voice to be heard. This explain a lot on what has happened with politics in the later years. Thus why I advocate for the end of identity politics, and return to class politics, include everyone as equals, without some being "more equals than others" if you catch my drift.

Majorities might or might not make better or worse decisions that minorities. But democracy is the best system we know for a reason, and without including everyone, truly including them, minorities could not rule for long, and then other minority would take place and undo all that the previous minority did (as shown by recent events).

I do think progress slow down because identity politics indeed. And progress became more fragile, being easily erased by all the people who got pissed off by identity politics.

Each year I see less and less people willing to support minority issues because identity politics let them out. Without that supposed the minority, by definition, is left in a minority position. And the only way it can change things is from a minority rule, which is not the best as it pisses off a lot of people this way.

The thing about identity politics is that it's useful for majorities. I don't see the point in using identity politics for minorities, by definition they are doomed to lose. Wider interclass politics are needed for minorities to get rights in a sustainable way.

I do think that identity politics got dominant not because of their usefulness to minorities. But because their usefulness to a few politicians (politicians as a wider term not only elected officials), which allowed them to gain short term power and privileged using them. But they doesn't seem to do much to help the minorities. Isolating them from wider support to get a short lived iron claw over them feels not right to me.

I might be wrong here. Once again, this is just my particular perception, and I do not have strong evidences for this claims, just feelings and personal experiences.

As said by many, there's a hidden structure that supports everyone here. So every athlete is only supporting themselves.

If you want to see people supporting each other in a tower structure search for Catalonian Castells.

I don't see it that way. Speaking as non conforming gender bisexual.

I think I can properly defend my rights without making groups that exclude others from it.

Again, just my opinion, and something that I do not agree not in the final goal (everyone being happy and free) but in the how to achieve it.

Also as an European I think identity politics (in this context) were mostly born in USA and imported here later. But we had achieved way more liberties before identity politics than after. We were one of the first countries in the world that legalized gay marriage for instance, and we didn't need the kind of identity politics that exist today to achieve it. And since identity politics took over I feel like we haven't be able to achieve much more, because we take a conflicting approach that meets much more resistance from excluded identities than the previous approach.

At least that's my humble opinion and perception of reality.
