Then FIPPA has to be changed. Right now the act allows for cabinet deliberations to be kept confidential:

Maybe that makes sense. Maybe it doesn't. But that's the law as written today and the court decided that these letters fall under that carve-out.

Played that for the first time... two years ago? despite being a teenager when it came out. I'm not typically a JRPG fan but Chrono Trigger is outstanding. Enjoy the journey!

Oh yeah it'll take a generation to undo a generation's worth of bad zoning and urban planning. But it's the only real long term solution. No high population urban area on the planet sustains itself with a high level of sprawl (without truly outlandish taxes to pay for the necessary infrastructure -- looking at you New Jersey).

Which also means it's a density issue. The solution can't be a sprawl of more single family homes, either.

Given those corporations are, you know, renting those units, I'm not sure what your comment has to do with a rental unit supply issue (which is, you know, what this article is about).

Until one of these AIs just starts selling other people’s work as its own, and no I don’t mean derivative work I mean the copyrighted material, nobody is breaking the rules here.

Except of course that's not how copyright law works in general.

Of course the questions are 1) is training a model fair use and 2) are the resulting outputs derivative works. That's for the courts to decide.

But in general, just because I publish content on my website, does not give anyone else license or permission to republish that content or create derivative works, whether for free or for profit, unless I explicitly license that content accordingly.

That's why things like Creative Commons exists.

But surely you already knew that.

Oh, well, you've clearly done the kind of deep and thoughtful analysis that would allow you to determine the general opinions of all Lemmy users. My mistake. Carry on.

You do realize that there may in fact be different, distinct groups of Lemmy users with differing, potentially non-overlapping beliefs, yeah?

How do you define grind? I went from zero to sixty hours in Rimworld in the span of a few weeks and IMO it plays quite well on the deck (not perfect, but surprisingly well for a traditionally M&K PC game).

Honestly the issue here may be a lack of familiarity with how bare repos work? If that's right, it could be worth experimenting with them if only to learn something new and fun, even if you never plan to use them. If anything it's a good way to learn about git internals!

Anyway, apologies for the pissy coda at the end, I've deleted it as it was unnecessary. Keep on having fun!

Even basic home care for someone with mobility issues is well beyond what can be expected from untrained amateurs forced into caregiving. Seemingly simple things like cleaning up after soiling, shower assist, lift assist, etc, require skill and physical fitness. Non-professionals should be neither trusted nor expected to do that kind of critical care work, nor should our elders be satisfied with those forms of basic dignity a couple times a week.

While spending their time in power cutting social programs like the good neoliberals they are. Hoisted by their own petard, except the rest of us now get to pay the price as usual.

My only hope is that by the time I might need these services in 30-ish years (fingers crossed), necessary investments will have been made, likely after a series of avoidable tragedies...

Meanwhile, I pray my own elder family members don't end up with a severe cognitive impairment as, having seen the decline of my own grandmother, the idea of caring full time for an elder is terrifying and the long-term care environments that do exist are not healthy places to live out the remainder of one's life.

With the NDP coalition that's not as true in Canada. Between the national dental care plan that's coming and subsidized childcare, among other things, real left-ish progress is being made. But as usual a) the media isn't always telling a balanced story, b) government comms are shit, and c) the Liberals keep fucking up in visible, spectacular, and stupid ways, which distracts from genuine victories.

Which, come to think of it, does echo the Biden administration over the last four years...

No. It's strictly more complexity.

Right now I have a NAS. I have to upgrade and maintain my NAS. That's table stakes already. But that alone is sufficient to use bare git repos.

If I add Gitea or whatever, I have to maintain my NAS, and a container running some additional software, and some sort of web proxy to access it. And in a disaster recovery scenario I'm now no longer just restoring some files on disk, I have to rebuild an entire service, restore it's config and whatever backing store it uses, etc.

Even if you don't already have a NAS, setting up a server with some storage running SSH is already necessary before you layer in an additional service like Gitea, whereas it's all you need to store and interact with bare git repos. Put the other way, Gitea (for example) requires me to deploy all the things I need to host bare repos plus a bunch of addition complexity. It's a strict (and non-trivial) superset.

Absolutely. Every service you run, whether containerized or not, is software you have to upgrade, maintain, and back up. Containers don't magically alleviate the need for basic software/service maintenance.

Agreed, which is why you'll find in a subsequent comment I allow for the fact that in a multi-user scenario, a support service on top of Git makes real sense.

Given this post is joking about being ashamed of their code, I can only surmise that, like I'm betting most self-hosters, they're not dealing with a multi-user use case.

Well, that or they want to limit their shame to their close friends and/or colleagues...

This post is about "self-hosting" a service, not using GitHub. That's what I'm responding to.

I'm not saying GitHub isn't valuable. I use it myself. And in any situation involving multiple collaborators I'd probably recommend that kind of tool--whether GitHub or some self-hosted option--for ease of user administration, familiar PR workflows, issue tracking, etc.

But if you're a solo developer storing your code locally with no intention to share or collaborate, and you don't want to use GitHub (as, again, is the case with this post) a self-hosted service adds a ton of complexity for only incremental value.

I suspect a ton of folks simply don't realize that you don't need anything more than ssh and git to push/pull remote git repositories because they largely cargo cult their way through source control.

The idea of "self-hosting" git is so incredibly weird to me. Somehow GitHub managed to convince everyone that Git requires some kind of backend service. Meanwhile, I just push private code to bare repositories on my NAS via SSH.
