Did you mean 0.7-0.8g of protein per kg instead of lb? That’s what the article states is the standard guideline. Per pound would require more than twice as much protein as per kg.
Thanks for the link. It says nothing about making them unconscious before slaughter. They’re just saying that the slaughter should be quick and not subject the animals to additional suffering beforehand:
No method of slaughtering or handling in connection with slaughtering shall be deemed to comply with the public policy of the United States unless it is humane. Either of the following two methods of slaughtering and handling are hereby found to be humane:
(a) in the case of cattle, calves, horses, mules, sheep, swine, and other livestock, all animals are rendered insensible to pain by a single blow or gunshot or an electrical, chemical or other means that is rapid and effective, before being shackled, hoisted, thrown, cast, or cut; or
(b) by slaughtering in accordance with the ritual requirements of the Jewish faith or any other religious faith that prescribes a method of slaughter whereby the animal suffers loss of consciousness by anemia of the brain caused by the simultaneous and instantaneous severance of the carotid arteries with a sharp instrument and handling in connection with such slaughtering.
So I went a little further by reading parts of the actual regulations, i.e., the implementation and enforcement of the act, because I’m genuinely curious to learn about this. It seems that they’re defining stunning as basically destroying the brain of the animal before killing the body. For instance: “Unconsciousness is produced immediately by physical brain destruction and a combination of changes in intracranial pressure and acceleration concussion.” It seems like a distinction without a difference, since they’re essentially killing the animal by “stunning” it or making it “unconscious”.
I realize that Mastodon is specifically intended not to have any sort of algorithm, and I understand and appreciate that, but it’s not what I want, personally. I want to have the posts in my feed sorted by the ones with the most “engagement” as those are likely the most interesting ones.
Mastodon has an “Explore” section, that lists the most popular posts today. It also has subsections for trending news, hashtags, and “for you” which seems to be suggested accounts to follow.
Ah, I see what you mean now. Yes, that sounds like it would probably be useful, but I hope that they are very careful with slowly adding features that change the network/social dynamics of the place.
I’ve heard that there are some Mastodon apps that have their own algorithms, but unfortunately don’t remember any details. Perhaps that would be something to look into.
Yeah, about that… let’s talk about a conspiracy theory. I remember reading, I think on Twitter, either just before, or maybe it was a retweet after the fact, someone local to DC saying that the security that had been established around town (or maybe around the capitol specifically) that day in preparation for the demonstrations was weaker than they had ever seen for any run of the mill event there. This would seem very strange because word was very much out that something was going to go down that day, so one would have expected a much higher level of security to have been established. Although I didn’t look very closely into what happened that day and the days surrounding it, it still seems strange that I’ve never heard this discussed since I read it.
Conspiracy fact. I watched on video as cops moved barricades to let rioters in, took selfies with rioters, then literally held the hands of rioters as they walked down the capitol stairs.
Thanks, but that’s not what I meant though. What that person described was that an unusually low, insufficient level of security had been established before the event, in comparison to any other run of the mill event that had taken place in that area in the past. The exact opposite should have been done, since everyone expected there to be trouble.
In terms of conspiracy theory, there are two possibilities I can think of: a) someone in power under-secured the event in the expectation that the riot would succeed and become a coup, or b) someone in power under-secured the event in the expectation that the riot would not succeed but would be enough of a spectacle that it could then be used against the people who were involved with facilitating and encouraging it. However, this all hinges on that observer’s evaluation being accurate that the event had indeed been unusually under-secured.
My list is pretty similar to yours, with major exceptions that I include all the giant multinational oil companies (i.e., BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell - I get gas from Arco). I also substitute Google in place of Apple. I avoid Amazon like the plague, unless there is absolutely nowhere else I can buy something. I also have all the US mega banks on my list. Kroger’s grocery stores. Probably a few more things I can’t think of right now.
The few conversations I’ve had there have been unproductive and inflammatory. While even in other instances when I’ve said something someone disagreed with they would at least support their statement. Also no one would tell me why the “Confused Unga Bunga” meme is racist but they keep accusing me of it. I’m all for...
Interesting, I haven’t personally had any run ins with Hexbears, but everything I’ve read from them in non-Hexbear communities has generally looked fine to me. Sure, they argue hard and in detail when it comes to anything political and they can also be a little edgy, but I haven’t seen any of them be assholes, abusive, argue in bad faith, etc. So far I have appreciated their contributions. It probably helps that I generally agree with (many of?) them politically as far as I can tell, but despite that, if I saw them being assholes I would make notice because I don’t believe in defending the people in your team even when they’re doing wrong. I would be more likely to call them for taking the wrong approach instead. Do you have any example threads that demonstrate what you’re describing?
I’m not trying to cause an argument but when Reddit pulled it’s bs - I said that’s enough. I gave up my Reddit addiction and didn’t open it or visit the site for over 30 days....
No, I haven’t logged into my main Reddit account that I had subscribed to all the subs that I was interested in pretty much since after the API debacle. I have kept logging into a secondary account only to help other people make the move to Lemmy, Mastodon, and the Fediverse in general. That account is only subscribed to r/redditalternatives, r/fediverse, r/lemmy, and r/mastodon, and I make it a point to not look at anything else. While I miss the niche communities that I had enjoyed there, I figure that they will eventually build here too. I can wait and avoid supporting Reddit and getting sucked back into it. For the time being I can spend my time enjoying what is already here, which is quite a bit.

It’s really remarkable. I’ve noticed what seems to be a similar dynamic on some official corporate tech support forums like Microsoft, HP, etc. I’ve seen people who spend a lot of time providing volunteer tech support (based on their reputation scores). I just don’t get the idea of volunteering for a for-profit corporation.
That’s fine and I applaud that aspect of their actions; however, they could instead at least do this on independent, 3rd-party communities, or help people with open-source technologies. Providing large amounts of free labor to HP in a place convenient to HP like this is undercutting HP tech support employees’ jobs, for example.
It’s not just style. From what I understand (I’ve never used any of the generative AI tools), they supposedly can and do output chunks of text verbatim from copyrighted works.
I saw a comment, probably on Mastodon, from an author saying that (I believe) ChatGPT had plagiarized some of his work verbatim. I don’t recall if it was a work of fiction or not, although for the purpose of copyright it doesn’t matter.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s trained on works of fiction just as much as non-fiction though. I think that from what I’ve heard, you can ask ChatGPT to write something in the style of particular writers? If it’s possible to give a very specific prompt for it to write something with the same plot points as a Stephen King story in the style of Stephen King, I wonder just how close it would look like the original?
That few countries take a person’s wealth and income into account when fining them for breaking laws. I see examples like these and wish this were the norm everywhere.
From what I recall, the places that do this usually do it in the form of days of income. I’m not sure how they determine that if someone’s money comes from investments, etc.
True. So I wonder how is it that some European countries that do this got around that obstacle. I guess that’s what happens when you have an equitable society in place?
I want to try this. I even downloaded the apps to do it a little while back and opened them, but I realized that I need to do some reading up on it before I start knocking about. I just need to take the time to learn this. I’ve joined the OpenStreetMap community on Lemmy too.
You’re welcome! I should have added that it’s at least the translation from Brazilian Portuguese, since it seems like yours is Portuguese Portuguese. I hope it translates the same.

I agree that the coastal elitism is terrible, but please realize that that’s not something “the left” does. It’s something that liberals do. The Bernie-type left generally doesn’t do that type of thing, and has suffered similar kinds of attacks from Clinton/Obama liberals for it (ex: being called “Bernie-bros”). They very much understand that racism and misogyny accusations are wielded as weapons by liberals when given the slightest opportunity. As far as I know, this has been an internal rift within “the left” that has severely hobbled it since the 60s/70s, promoting capitalist and elitist liberals instead.

Awesome, thanks for your answers! I’m considering switching mostly to linux on the desktop at home and one of the sticking points for me has been finding a good video editor. This is very helpful in that regard.
I have an issue with some servers at work where I have been unable to determine the best course of action to address it based on pre-existing knowledge within my team or web searches. Does anyone have suggestions for the best place to ask RHEL-specific questions? I don’t want to presume that it’s OK to post such nitty-gritty...
Thanks! Yes, I have access to their community. I wasn’t sure if that was the best place to ask though. Their community software is a bit clunky, and sometimes official forums are not always the best place to ask.
Here’s my question, if anyone reading this post knows the answer: the simple version is… is it safe to enable the rhel-7-server-rhceph-4-tools-rpms repository?
To give a little more detail: old versions of modules that come from the Ceph package got flagged by our security scan. It appears that Ceph is installed by default on RHEL 7, but the repository above which I believe will update these modules, is not enabled by default. This seems odd to me, and the documentation for Ceph mentions that the EPEL repository should be disabled. It doesn’t appear that this repository is enabled, but this still made me concerned about why the Ceph repository isn’t enabled by default, hence my question.
Edit: I will try to contact Red Hat support to confirm the best course of action, like some have suggested on this thread. Thank you everyone for your help.
Edit 2: I figured out a course of action to take. The vulnerabilities were flagged for the librados2 and librbd1 packages. I used the command "rpm -q --whatrequires " to navigate the dependencies of these two packages to end at libvirt. Using the same command with libvirt, I was able to determine that no other package is dependent on it. Thus, it appears to me that I can address the issue by uninstalling all 3 packages. This seems safer and more secure than addressing the issue by enabling a new repository on the server. To be safe, I will take a snapshot of the VM before making the changes. I’ll post another update afterward.
You might want to check the errata for the packages your scanning tools complained about. Rhel will keep stable versions at the same release version, but backport security fixes in.
Thanks. I had verified that there is an errata before posting here. I presume that it hasn’t been installed due to that repository being disabled, but maybe I’m mistaken?
Many security scanners are stupid about this.
Indeed. In the process of researching this I found a related KB article from Red Hat that basically said that the security scanner is not supposed to flag this.
Since it is rhel, you have a support contract, right? What do they say?
I’m positive we have a support contract, but I’ve never had to use it, so I’m not familiar with the process. I’m not one of the main linux admins here. If I can’t find the answer either here or from my own research, I’ll look into the process to open a case.
I checked, and the versions of those modules that are currently installed are way behind what’s provided in the listed Red Hat patch, so it does seem that the updates for this just haven’t been installed. I will try to double-check with Red Hat support to be sure that enabling the Ceph repository is the correct course of action to take. Thank you once again for your help.
Final update on this issue. I found out about the "rpm -q --whatrequires " command and used that to navigate the dependency chain for the modules in question. I was able to determine that those modules were ultimately not being used for anything. Once I confirmed that, I removed the modules. So far so good. It didn’t cause any issues to the services on that server. I will find out if it resolved the vulnerability that had been flagged by the security scanner next time it runs, probably at the end of the month.
Yes, pulses like peanuts, beans, lentils, as well as rice and other grains (and a variety of other vegetable sources) are alternative sources of protein. As far as development, the only thing aside from plant-based meat substitutes are the new lab-grown meats that are being developed. Those are actual meat, but grown in a lab instead of on an animal’s body.
Cool idea, but only a small minority of people will adopt something like this given that electric bikes seem to be all the rage right now. I can maybe imagine touring cyclists getting into this, but that’s it. This would make cycling even more complicated*(!) for most people.
*Probably three quarters of the people I see riding bikes don’t even know how to set the proper height for their saddles. They also don’t know which roads are appropriate to ride their bikes on, or to follow the direction of traffic, or to not ride on sidewalks. Oh, and no lights at night either. It’s no wonder that the US has a high rate of cycling fatalities.
