Cosmos Server, Yunohost, CasaOS, Tipi, TrueNAS. There's projects like this that have 'app stores' that are just an interface for you to enter parameters for a Docker compose file (or something similar) like the default username and password, etc. They aren't flawless but flawless is an unrealistic standard for things with so many config options.

Really pleased with this new development strategy of releasing whatever is done at regular intervals instead of holding it all for a huge release every X months.

I'd like to offer this pretty recent article as evidence he has not changed his opinion and that any org that has him involved or is still pushing him as a figurehead has been poisoned.

They've gotten several schools to reduce or sever their relationships to companies that directly fund and supply Israel. Its not going to have an immediate impact like withholding a cheque, but it does affect them.

Its very telling that you're comparing the Palestinian genocide with painted libraries as if everyone else but you is mindless and can't tell the difference between compromising on something completely serious and harmful to people versus something that's nonsense or less of a priority.

With what weapons?

If a gun shop saw somebody come in and they made comments about shooting a school, but the gun shop sold it to them anyway, they would be held responsible in the same way, yes. It isn't an "oopsie we totally didn't know what they were going to use them for" plausible deniability scenario.

Edit: I'm tired of people being pedants on this. I'll call him a genocide enabler if it works better for you.

Inui ,

Cool. I'm assuming you linked this to say what Biden is doing isn't any different than past policy. That isn't an argument for keeping the policy. It just means past presidents were also enablers (and many of them war criminals for other reasons).

TIL Brigading is when you see posts on your front page and comment on them.

I'm cis, so am happy to be corrected. But deadnaming is using the name of a trans person they no longer go by. This is sometimes done accidentally as people are getting used to the new identity of their relatives or friends, but is also done intentionally to deny trans people their identity and insist they use the name and pronouns they were assigned at birth. In the context of Caitlyn Jenner, people will sometimes deadname as an insult and insist they only do it in this specific case because Caitlyn is not a very good person. But using a person's deadname in this way is still insulting to trans people, as it weaponizes their identity and implies they should only be respected if they conform to certain societal expectations.

Uncommitted voters are not apathetic. The Democratic party is ( www.theguardian.com )

What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

Funny you say this when you all refuse to accept your complicity in the murder of thousands right now.

You should check out Bazzite. Based on Fedora, works much the same way as SteamOS since its meant as a replacement, and there's a version for non-Steamdecks. https://bazzite.gg/

How and why is this not admission of animal cruelty? They can't 'prove' it in that they can't dig up the dead dog, but they very likely could find the crew workers that were nearby. Even still, the book is being sold and marketed as factual and she's not a known satirist, so her words should be enough. Don't want to get in trouble, don't admit to horrific crimes, or don't make them up either.

Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

I'm looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?...

I'm on board if businesses are first forced to sell property that is unused for a significant length of time. There are commercial buildings around me that have been closed and boarded up for 5 years after the last business left. Good for anyone who makes use of it instead of letting it rot.

Inui ,

What are you using now? I don't use any other Proton services because they either don't work (Linux) or are a waste of resources (Proton Pass). As far as I can tell, any service that claims to be privacy-oriented is hosted somewhere where privacy isn't a concern at all, like Fastmail in Australia. I understand email isn't a private protocol in the first place, but I'd prefer not to just move to Gmail-lite as far as who I'm giving my information to.

This Stallman? https://drewdevault.com/2023/11/25/2023-11-26-RMS-on-sex.html

Inui ,

Sure.But if someone wants to say "X has done the most good because they fed 1 million people" but you don't mention that X also killed 900,000 people, you're being disingenuous. No, I'm not saying Stallman is a mass murderer. But normalizing pedophilia is a gross counterbalance to whatever good work he's done.

I didn't mention Trump at all. He's an idiot. But it's really disingenuous when people that I usually presume are Americans (with how much they talk about American politics) go around calling everyone tankies and Russian bots for criticizing the leaders of a country that has caused death and destruction in many other nations. Especially when the person they are advocating for continues to support it. It's ignorance or intellectual dishonesty to handwave these things away. If knowing them makes people no longer want to support their candidate, their candidate shouldn't be participating in such action.

Inui ,

I agree but people like the ones posting in this thread are in for a hard lesson if all they're going to do is cry wolf and blame everyone else for Biden's (potential) loss instead of doing any sort of self-reflection as to why people don't like him or his party.

Inui ,

Try looking inside the house for once.

Inui ,

They don't 'defend Russia'. They recognize that the US is in many ways just as bad for the other countries they stick their noses in (look up the many coups they've funded in other countries) and that its better to have a counterbalance in geopolitics. That just so happens to be Russia (and China), but if you actually read the posts there (which I doubt most people have), nobody is actually a fan of Putin or his policies.

Edit: Russia is a capitalist nation that oppresses LGBTQ+ folks and has reactionary anti-communist policies. Just as I guessed, downvoters haven't actually read any Hexbear posts or they'd realize why thinking a communist instance supports Russia in a general sense is complete nonsense.

Inui ,

I agree with you. What I meant to convey is that users may support Russia in specific situations that run counter to the goals of the United States and other Western nations, but as a whole, Russia is not an ally of leftists or something that users represent as an ideal. Neither is the United States. Political nuance tends to not do well in instances like .world though. They prefer to brush off anything as "Russian trolls" rather than practice introspection as to why someone would want to resist their goals in the first place.

Inui ,

I downvote people who describe these things because the only time 99% of people mention plant communication, they're doing it as some sort of 'gotcha' against vegans to justify their own lack of morals, not because they actually care about plants (or animals).

Inui ,

It doesn't matter if they're true. I also never said I was angry. I just find it disingenuous.

This specific post is obviously about plants, which is neat, but your reply was in response to the very thing I was talking about, an unfunny and reddit-tier joke about vegans that misunderstands their position.

I'm explaining why I would downvote a comment like yours in that specific context. Why would you bring up the complex lives of plants in response to a vegan poster (who then presumably downvotes you)? Are you trying to genuinely and compassionately suggest that vegans should consider the morals of their diet in the context of plant feelings? Just sharing cool facts? If so, you're atypical.

You think its uncharitable, but if you spend enough time on the internet, you'd see that most people are not doing this. They're suggesting that vegans are no better then carnists. That plants feel pain the same way animals do, therefore its fine to slaughter animals, and people don't have to think about the harm they're causing because they've now established that everyone is doing just as much harm as they are. Its a cope to absolve people of any responsibility and allow them to strengthen their position against a group they already dislike.

The takeaway should be 'then we should find out how to minimize plant suffering too'.

Given that, out of the blue comments about how 'plants have feeling' in a discussion about eating animals serves as a distraction and can be interpreted like this even if you mean it genuinely.

What racial slurs?

(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?

I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit...

Inui ,

Just to share my experience, I used the archinstall script so I have btrfs snapshots and didnt have to put together everything myself. I almost update every day because it gives me a dopamine hit and nothing has broken in the last year and a half since I switched off Windows. I've had fewer issues than when I tried to Fedora with the Nvidia card I already owned. It could definitely be a case of 'works on my machine' but I think reports of Arch breakages are overblown.

I had to hold off on updating my Debian 12 server due to a severe bug just a month or two ago.

I swore this article was from like 8 years ago, but instead its just cops continuing to be cops.

I think it's important to consider in many situations why someone uses half measures and what it actually accomplishes in the end. In many cases, half measures by government are used to appease a portion of the populace and proclaim an issue has been solved, but in reality the action doesn't solve the underlying problem and isn't part of a long term goal to doing so.

Even in these cases, people here will tell you that the action is objectively good if it benefits the people, but it's still worthy of intense criticism and that's what you'll mostly see.

In personal life, many people will resort to half measures because they don't want to be inconvenienced. I don't want to start an argument in this thread, but I'm vegan. A vegetarian reducing the amount of meat they consume is an objectively good thing from my point of view. However, dairy still exploits animals, so the common reason of "I like pizza too much to stop eating cheese" comes off as vapid, and the persons support of the cause to be superficial, especially if they've been vegetarian for like 10 years and have made no attempt to remove dairy.

In other words, can they be counted on when the moment comes that vegans in their community start protesting to shut down dairy farms? Or will they ally with the oppressors in this scenario? You can see similar relationships in many other social activist groups who support LGBTQ+ people, BLM, etc. Peoplr will suppport the cause vocally, but deride these groups as soon as they take any sort of real action, like protesting. Which is why you will see personal criticisms along with those against governments and organizations.

The reader includes extensions that allow you to download manga from various unofficial sources. So their justification is that it facilitates piracy. It's still the best manga reader (imo), but there's dozens of other options for local media without that feature. There's no world in which I buy physical manga or subscribe to 12 different services to get access to the ones I want to read, so I don't know how much the company is 'winning' with this move.

Reposting a comment of mine to another user in a similar thread:

Why should I share with you if you won't share back? 99% of people do not upload anything to public or private trackers and a significant percentage don't seed. Without those private tracker communities developing tools and working together to fulfill specific niches, none of that would trickle down to public trackers and anything but the most popular media would not be available to you. They ensure better quality and curation and I can have something I need uploaded through a request within a day a day or two because the members are motivated to share since they know it will be reciprocated. Anything I upload usually gets uploaded to public trackers by someone else, but I don't feel any obligation to share things I've hand scanned and fixed the formatting on with random people on Pirate Bay.

Tldr, quality/curation is better, retention is better, and reciprocity ensures quicker access to things that are not already available.
