Keepa which gives a chart on every Amazon page or camelcamelcamel

It’s making fun of the popularity of pumkin spice stuff in certain demographics.

Reliant1087,

That’s good old Canada.

Walking to a supermarket in some random country you are traveling to and getting a sim worth 10$ to go.

Reliant1087,

I mean if you’re going fast enough with a pointy train, you could chop up people pretty easy. You just need to make sure that each person is a tire width apart to make sure the wheels don’t lose traction. Assuming a person is roughly half a metre across and a tire is 75cm in diameter, we get 1.25m per person, so a track of 1250km for a million people. Not very long at all.

Reliant1087,

Let’s also start removing phrases with white, yellow and brown as those are used to refer to people’s skin colour as well.

The only reason I would even contemplate not using blacklist or white washing is if an actual person of that skin colour says that it is not okay for them, or there’s an actual consensus among people of that community that it isn’t acceptable.

I can tell you as a person with brown skin, with brownie or whatever used as a derogatory name, almost everyone I know isn’t even concerned with terms like brown out or brown note.

Online outrages or articles aren’t an accurate depiction of reality.

Even more dangerously, shit like this drives outrage and diverts attention from actual, real issues faced by people of different races. Like not having stuff to eat or indoor plumbing or mental health infrastructure or access to health care.

Reliant1087,

That’s your take reading a post talking explicitly about how a person won’t be outraged about something without actually taking into consideration how the people who the issues is about feel or act?

Maybe you should stop for a moment, think over what you’ve said and read, and consider that many of these discrimated groups can actually think for ourselves and doesn’t need to be told what to be outraged over?

Why stop there, why not defedrate from all NSFW communities because they could post questionable content in the future?

Edit : /s

Reliant1087,

They have from some instances with questionable content but not many others without questionable content. The question is do you persecute someone because you think you would be badly affected if they commit a crime in the future, even though they haven’t so far and doesn’t seem to be on the path to either?

Reliant1087,

You see later that she was a blood purist and tortured only those who she thought of as blood traitors or whatever. That’s par on course with people who sided with voldemort. After the quidditch world cup the death eaters tried to torture a muggle family, including the children I think.

Reliant1087,

I’m perfectly willing to pay what I pay for the actual news paper for the subscription. The subscription turns out to be about 10x.

Reliant1087,

Try to not be reactive. Take appropriate action whenever needed but choose to act after a delay so that you aren’t responding impulsively. In my experience 90% of conversations that were problematic could have been avoided if either party chose to walk away or take a break.

Reliant1087,

But you can reframe it. People don’t have equal mobility but everyone has an equal right to access a place, so you have stairs and ramps. You can’t make everything a ramp or stair to create equality.

Reliant1087,

The revolutionary solution, not necessarily communist. Like Boston tea party and what followed

Reliant1087,

You’re missing the larger point. It isn’t about individuals.

If your parents and grandparents were from an ethnic/social/other group that did not have access to resources, then there’s less chance that you grow up in a household that values education or have resources like food, time with parents and caring adults, emotional support and, financial security and so on. These affect your academic success irrespective of how talented or smart you might be.

Providing better access to higher education for people from such groups is a way to make sure that their children don’t grow up in the same environment and the problem is solved over generations.

Such measures of equity are always stop gap measures to address problems until you find grass root level solutions. Right now say protected groups might be first Nations or African Americans. In the future that might change to immigrants from Ukraine or Honduras.

Reliant1087,

That’s exactly the kind of people who run ml sadly.

Reliant1087,

Now I want to see a prestige style movie with this premise.

Reliant1087,

Multi client test seems better honestly. I end up running 3-4 iperfs from different clients to a wired server to see how the bandwidth chokes. I wonder how it will be if one of the clients are running the iperf server as well.

Real life workloads like 4k and VoIP with multiple clients seem much more realistic and representative.

Reliant1087,

Seconding your opinion about lemmy :) Do you think you could write up that you did? I would be interested in reading. Found this article on ars as well:

arstechnica.com/…/how-ars-tests-wi-fi-gear-and-yo…

I’ll be checking out netburn.

Reliant1087,

Sure :)

[Music News] Beyoncé is selling $157 “listening only” tickets for her Renaissance tour. The seats are behind the stage, so you can’t see the concert, any of the set, or dancing. (finance.yahoo.com)

Summary: “Beyoncé is selling “listening only” tickets for her Renaissance tour. The seats are behind the stage, so you can’t see any of the set or dancing, but they only cost $157 compared to the ~$900 fans have been paying for regular US tickets.”...

Reliant1087,

How much is a regular ticket?

Reliant1087,

I found Fair email to be more consistent than K9. I used both for 2 years or so before finally switching.

Reliant1087,

The only use I’ve found for cloud printing is how it would identify all the printers on the uni network and allow me to print on them with no hassle compared to manually adding the printer with the correct driver and IP.

Your thoughts on The Orville? (lemmy.world)

When I first started this show I found it to be a really awkward mix of comedy and seriousness. It had some jokes thrown it at the most inopportune times as some kind of comic relief from a really serious situation. Perhaps the first half of the first season was actually a bit rough or maybe the show just grew on me, but by...

Reliant1087,

I did not know that. Though what you said by itself doesn’t imply causality. That hiring/firing was motivated by sleeping together.

Reliant1087,

Incompleteness doesn’t come as a huge surprise when your learn math in an axiomatic way rather than computationally. For me the treacherous part is actually knowing whether something is unprovable because of incompleteness or because no one has found a proof yet.

Reliant1087,

Geometric interpretation of integration is really fun, it’s the analytic interpretation that most people (and I) find harder to understand.

If you work in numerically solving integrals using computers, you realise that it’s all just adding tiny areas.

I finally understand what divergent integrals are intuitively when I encountered one while trying to do a calculation on a computer.

Reliant1087,

Oh fuck you. I’m going to insert this in place of 20 in some formula and see people have breakdowns.

Reliant1087,

Agree. Uncountable infinities are much more mind blowing. It was an interesting journey realising first that everything like time and distance are continuous when learning math the then realising they’re not when learning physics.

Reliant1087,

Your map made me think how interesting US would be if there were 4 major political parties. Maybe no one will win the presidential election 🤔

Reliant1087,

I think there’s some non-symbolic effort going on in ungoogled-chromium.

Reliant1087,

Yeah I’ve been annoyed with how many sites are using protections that blanket block VPNs.

Reliant1087,

Yeah :) This is the issue: github.com/ungoogled-software/…/2432

Reliant1087,

I was surprised the first time I bought a Hershey’s bar and it tasted a bit like vomit.

Reliant1087,

Same. Cadbury is pretty okay.

Reliant1087,

That’s kind of fucked up. Especially since chocolate isn’t an essential food.

Reliant1087,

I would be happy to receive an invite :)

Reliant1087,

Well Stuart Semple is someone who has generally been quite reliable in what he does and a fairly prominent artist, so he presumably understands how the Adobe tools work. He probably doesn’t have the technical know-how on how to build it. The article mentions that it’s a team of sixteen people right now without the funding presumably.

I mean the worst case is they pick an existing project like gimp, krita, darktable or inkscape and brings in enough features to Adobe parity. That isn’t a bad outcome at all.

Reliant1087,

I am not a fan of closed source either. They’re planning to sell lifetime license of the whole suite around 150 USD. From reading the FAQ, it seems like they want to at least make the components open source.

Reliant1087,

I don’t know about inkscape but with GIMP I get the feeling that the devs are happy with how it is. Someone will probably will need to fork for a significant paradigm shift to happen

Reliant1087,

I’ve read quite a lot of positive things about kagi. Unfortunately the query/price is too high to be affordable to me right now.

Reliant1087,

Not really, you can use rootless docker or podman but the seedbox owners need to add you to the correct groups and they’re not willing to do that.

Reliant1087,

I was sad when I couldn’t get ranger to work. I’m fine with just having vi and screen instead of vim and tmux, but I truly miss ranger.

Reliant1087,

Looks like their offering is pretty similar. I think the hbd people are collaborating with swizzin devs because they share same scripts etc.

Reliant1087,

This is awesome :) I’m going to try this tomorrow.

Reliant1087,

The list is pretty similar to hbd. Hbd doesn’t have transmission and syncthing, and prowlarr is semi-official but instead they have Medusa, autobrr, filebrowser and resiliosync.

Will check out the wiki :) If you have ssh enabled in your box, I would suggest looking up SSH keys. I have some public stuff I run for my work and I get at least a hundred brute force attacks on port 22 when I use a password.

How is there customer support infrastructure? With hbd I can raise tickets or talk on discord where they answer pretty fast.

Reliant1087,

That’s really cool :) Thank you. I will probably stick with wireguard.

Reliant1087,

I have my own local set up with qbitorrent, transmission, deluge, cross seed, all the arrs and the whole lot :) I use it to watch things at home.

This seedbox is for sharing with my family who lives in different parts of the world. With my internet, it isn’t feasible to share stuff from my home.

Reliant1087,

That’s amazing :) I am definitely going to try them if I am sticking around.

The prompt for me to switch was the fact that Netflix, Hulu and prime increasing their prices which made many members of my family stop using them. If they can adapt to Plex/jellyfin, then I’ll probably keep it around and maybe even upgrade.
