You understand that you have the freedom to....not use their services, right?

Human rights are not up to discussion or vote.

That's actually exactly how a democratic republic works.. Why you think that's not the case is a little concerning.

In a democracy you're allowed to have dissenting opinions. There are people out there that don't believe kids deserve school lunches. I personally think that's fucked up, but for me to have my freedoms, ideals and opinions, I have to concede that private citizens also have the freedom to think kids don't deserve school lunches.

That's how it works.

fd is in all of my environments.

This is such a pathetic cop-out reply it's not even funny. As if every single person with the opinion that Universities shouldn't, to the detriment of the entire student body, unilaterally decide for everyone who attends where their political beliefs should be absolutely must be privileged.

You don't have to believe that transgenderism is wrong to believe that students should be the ones to decide if they feel that it's right for genetic men to participate in women's sports. It needs to be up to the students, and not the institutions to make that a policy. The University itself has no right to make that policy without the consent of the students in the same way they shouldn't and couldn't be allowed to segregate students based on race.

I support trans rights, because I support human rights. It's not privileged to believe that a public institution has no right to decide the social zeitgeist for the student body--they have no right deciding what is or isn't acceptable.

I dont like the idea of google watching what my kids buy.

So then clearly this product isn't for you? But just because you wouldn't use it doesn't mean its a bad product, which is essentially what you're saying.

Firstly, they're not the same. Pretending that they are is beyond disingenuous. Secondly, segregation affected all institutions in a state. University, primary, public, private. Everything. This doesn't. It affects a single University and not even the direct student body--only those who participate in sports. It's also not segregate in nature--no one is saying "trans students can't attend school here" they're saying "only genetic females should count as female athletes."

You're not being lied to, people just don't know what 5G is.

Only mmW is 5G. When you see "5G" on your phone, it's Gen5 network over 4G LTE, which is not 5G. It's a nomenclature issue. No one is being lied to.

mmW is 5G. Everything else is 4G even though it's advertised on your phone as 5G--because it's a Gen5 network over 4G LTE. And if it sounds confusing, yeah. It is. Which is why they just call it 5G and 5G UWB (actual 5G). Because most people would be so fucking confused its not worth it.

Not sure if you setup the remote correctly or not, then.

 cli

    
#> rclone config
Current remotes:

Name                 Type
====                 ====
http                 http
nas                  sftp

e) Edit existing remote
n) New remote
d) Delete remote
r) Rename remote
c) Copy remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
e/n/d/r/c/s/q>

  

Setup your SFTP/FTP remote with the name you want. If it's hanging, only thing I can think of is that you didn't setup the remote correctly. This is how it looks in Windows: https://x0.at/ogeG.png

I mean, why would you not want this?

I really like the idea of my kid having the ability to use my card for things in an emergency, but me being able to control it versus them just stealing my credit card.

Seems like a pretty great feature IMO. Not sure why everyone seems to want to hate on it.

True, but someone with a developmental disability in which they mentally remain very much a child for their whole life is clearly a different thing.

Thinking and behaving like a child because of a developmental disability is the not same as being a child. Even if a person has the mentality of a child they're still an adult. They have adult rights, and adult responsibilities. The mentally infirm deserve more protections under the law (and they get them) than the average person, but you can't charge people who crime against those who have developmental disabilities as if they crimed against children. That's pure and unadulterated insanity and denies reality.

You seem to be stuck in the idea that those who think like children should be protected like children. And I don't necessarily disagree with that at face value. But it's more nuanced than you're giving it credit for and not something you can do in our legal system because even criminals have rights, and deserve to be charged with crimes appropriate to their crime--as fucked up as that sounds, its how our legal system works. Attempting rape is not the same crime as rape. Even if said criminal had every intention to actually rape, if they didn't actually rape then you can't charge them with rape.

In the same fashion, you can't charge a person who sexually assaults a person with a disability with child based sex crime simply because the person who was assaulted has the mind of a child. That's not appropriate and infringes the rights of the criminal. We already have separate laws which address the disparity in the mentally ill's inability to protect themselves within our laws--and these laws are very important. A sex crime against a woman, and a developmentally challenged woman are already two different crimes, the latter of which can be significantly worse because of the victims inability to protect themselves.

The extreme right are happily using free speech as a shield to do that literally right now and we are literally in a constitutional crisis because of it.

They're trying. Yes. But we still have the constitution. They can try all they want, that doesn't mean they'll be successful. They've been trying for decades and decades to make being gay illegal, and they haven't gotten anywhere with it. None of this is new. The issue would be giving them precedence to go off of. If they have that, they can make the case that you actually can make being gay illegal--and you're going to want to avoid that at all costs.

Sometimes, you have to do what’s right for the greater good even if you know it might hurt a few people in the process.

I also agree, however, you can't unilaterally hurt he student body regardless of their beliefs. They also have rights which need and deserve to be protected. Some students might not agree with the official stance of the University and that's a problem. In the end you're playing with their future too.

It would be different if the entirety of the student body stood up and said "We support this!" no one would have any ground to stand on. But this isn't a "majority rules" type of situation. The school cannot unilaterally make a political stance at the detriment of all students regardless of the student bodies political beliefs. It's just not appropriate for a public institution to do. They have every right and absolutely should support all of their students. And they should do that by making a non-gendered league for their trans students or any other students who want to participate, to participate in. Then no one would be able to bitch.

But you have transgender females who were born male, who had the benefit of a decade or more of testosterone to build lean muscle mass that other female athletes don't have. It's literally the same affect as doping and they don't see it as fair--and if you take the argument at face value, it's not so crack pot as to not merit discussion.

Everyone has the right to participate in sports. Male, female, lemur, panda, whatever. The question is, is do genetic men have the right to participate in female sports.

Speech to text. 🤷‍♂️

In the US and Australia, it actually is illegal to create art of children in sexual situations.

I very specifically took the time to include "grown adults doing grown adult things." Why you chose to overlook that, and post anyways as if I didn't explicitly exclude anything involving children is beyond my understanding.

Freedom is such a vague word, we shouldn’t use this word if we want to be precise about what we mean by it.

I cannot more strongly disagree as it's very explicitly defined. Libre software is not the same as open source software even though the non-initiated equate the two.

However, I do not think we should use the term open source.

This is why most people use the term FOSS now; free and open source software. Then of course there's Libre.

I'm shockingly okay with this and I didn't think I would be.

I feel like a small investment by users for support and continuing development in the broader scope of things is significantly better than developers searching for VC capital and other ways to fund their projects. That being said I don't believe it's going to work. But I would be interested in seeing data on any pilot programs they run.

In my opinion it doesn't really make sense to factor that in. A NAS is a multi-purpose device. In this specific example they would be using it as a media server but that's not its only purpose nor the only purpose it should be used for.

Additionally network attached storage can even be an old computer that you don't use anymore. It's extremely difficult to factor the price of a NAS into an anecdotal response like this and be even partially correct.

Some will be free. Some will be $5,000. Some will be $250. It really depends on your needs, what you have, and what you want out of it.

For example I already had a NAS when I set up jellyfin. I run the server on my local computer to give it access to my GPU for transcoding services and all of the files are saved on the network storage.

So anecdotally what I include the price and to what it cost me to set up jellyfin? I already had the NAS, I didn't have to invest anything... Additionally you don't need network storage you could set it up on your local PC.

It's simply a difficult question to answer.

mRNA is one of the only verifiable miracles I've ever seen in my life. And it really really really pisses me off that people don't give it the attention and awe that it deserves.

Goes to show you how much Putin respects Trump. Lol

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. ~Hanlon's Razor

While I do wholeheartedly agree that promoting fetishization of marginalized people who are vulnerable is despicable, evil, and just about any other pejorative you can think of--but it's a thought crime.

It's not illegal to create digital art (even the disgusting kind) which depicts fictitious grown adults doing grown adult things.

I would argue that if any such subclass of degenerate could exist, then they already do exist. You're not creating this subclass and any claim of expansion of such a subclass would be anecdotal at best and bullshit at worst. If they're out there they're out there. It's a chicken and egg problem. Which came first, the pornography or the degenerate?

We have a constitutionally protected right in this country to freedom of expression and that right cannot be infringed simply because you believe that it could lead to more people being taken advantage of. The right to that expression must be protected regardless of how repugnant you believe the resultant actions are. As history is shown any number of times the restriction of any right is a slippery slope in any capacity. There's a quote by Noam Chomsky which is particularly relevant here;

If you believe in freedom of speech, you believe in freedom of speech for views you don't like. Goebbels was in favor of freedom of speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you're in favor of freedom of speech, that means you're in favor of freedom of speech precisely for views you despise.

As a society we need to strongly condemn these actions, and we need to ensure that the most vulnerable among us are absolutely protected. But as soon as you start making thought crimes illegal you open the door to any number of machinations. How long before the extreme right use that precedent to start prosecuting individuals for other thought crimes? I would bet my last dollar it wouldn't take very long...
