  • I think what you should be considering is just how horrifying a brutal rape is. I'm not going to describe that. I'm going to tell you to put on your thinking hat, and really do some thunking on this one.

  • When those are just the precursors to the horrible murder, I'd have to say yes, magnitudes worse.

    Because on one hand you get brutally murdered, and on the other you get brutally raped and brutally murdered.

    Makes perfect sense to me.

  • Piper is probably what you want for the mouse (and maybe solaar which handles unifying receiver/bolt connectivity.

    As far as Nvidia goes though, that's likely to be the sticking point right now. Maybe at some point they will clean up their act, but I wouldn't hold my breathe so I wouldn't ask you to wait.

    Windows 10 may be the better fit right now, and that's ok. Maybe Nvidia will release new drivers in a few weeks or months and you'll have more options, but for now I think Win10 may be the best fit for what you need.

    Edit: Maybe see if Mint works out? https://lemmy.world/post/15653242

  • I think you're missing my point, yes.

    Equality in the law, freedom of association, civil liberties, etc., etc. while technically in the US we "have" these freedoms, in reality we do not - we are subject to capitalism with regulatory capture, fines that unfairly punish the poor, so on. I'm on a phone, so I'm not typing out a dissertation.

    Probably the best reference would be libertarian socialism or libertarian communism. The right wing Libertarian movement (which is dominant in the US) is really anarchi-capitalism, which is the complete opposite direction of left libertarianism (which is anti-capitalist).

    Anyway, yes, there are a variety of ways freedoms are limited by simply being unable to afford things, or even being put into a position where you don't have the time to dedicate to those things. To me, that's fundamentally wrong.

  • Big L little l.

    Big L is the party - and yeah, it's just Republicans in a different T-shirt.

    Little l is the ideology, which in many ways matches up with what I think, but to get there you need so many social programs to put people on even ground that we should have but don't. Universal healthcare being only one of so, so, so many.

    Edit: And just to add, I think Rand was just a precursor to the Big L Libertarians, and little to nothing to do with the little l. You can have true individual liberty without the protections and support to enable those liberties.

  • I'm aware of them.

    Let's look at some of the most historic:

    • NY Presbyterian Hospital - with no real efforts on their end to prevent the violation of thousands of records, they got a whopping fine of.... Under $5 million.
    • AHC - lack of risk analysis, failures in procedures and policies, etc - Just over $5 million.
    • Data breaches - usually around $4-5mil, the worst case being Anthem, about 80 million people effected - $16 million in fines. A record.

    Criminal offenses? Yeah, plenty of those - with individuals, usually related to that information then being used for other purposes (scams, theft, etc).

    But a company like Microsoft, you're going to have a hard time convincing me it's going to ruin the company. The history of HIPAA violations and their fines tell a very different story.

  • My only thought there is "LOL"

    • Export violations (sanctioned countries)
    • Illegally collected personal information from children
    • Price fixing
    • Wage theft
    • Discrimination
    • Privacy violations
    • Mismanaging peoples 401ks

    There are long, long, loooooong lists of violations MS has been caught for. The penalty has always been a fine small enough that it's a cost of doing business.

  • The clothes are definitely different quality. Walmart also has alternate, lower quality versions of the same products. Literally from the manufacturer with a slightly different product code.

    Ran into that replacing a coffee maker, interestingly enough - almost exactly the same device minus a few features, advertised with the same name, but different from the previous version as well (checked the manufacturers website).

    So I would not personally say the quality is equal, but I also don't shop at them often either.

  • So a few comments...

    • I'm not a fan of Ubuntu server, in part because their distribution of docker through snap can conflict with snap from the docker repo. My preference here is either Debian or Proxmox (debian + great virtualization setup). Mint is good, though I like LMDE (Debian edition) more, in part because I prefer Debian in general.
    • You may want to check out dockge. You do need to have docker running for it, but it's a simple setup, and it has a clean interface for docker compose. Good for getting used to it imo.
    • grub has no part in docker, so it's something else hanging.
    • What are the exact errors when you enter "docker-compose up"?
    • what is in your docker-compose for each of these?
  • Biden can't fire DeJoy. It's a 9 member committee that has control.

    That committee can have only 5 members of one party. Biden also can't just remove someone from the committee, there needs to be specific cause.

    It's that committee which would need to remove DeJoy.

  • I'd second this, if only because it's super easy to run things on and OP explicitly said they don't want to tinker with it. There is a limited list, imo, of buy and forget.

    That's said, I personally think a cheap little 4th gen or higher Intel based tiny/mini/micro would do a way better job on the services side, and just store on the NAS.
