baduhai , to selfhosted in Why do so many people use NGINX?

It’s pretty good, innit?

prettybunnys ,

Why is their question, so why is it pretty good?

baduhai ,

Nah, their question is why do so many people use it. And the answer is because it’s pretty good.

Very helpful

Neon ,

You want to play this game?

I can create new posts all night long

CanadaPlus , (edited ) to asklemmy in What is the Orb?

It’s the goal of the game. If you get it, and return it to the surface you win. But, it prevents you from teleporting, and once you have it Pandemonium lords will be after you, so the Orb run itself is a hard bit of gameplay.

A long time ago I would try and keep track of things with notes. It didn’t work.

I set up my personal email calendar as my schedule and put everything into it. I even linked it to my work account, my phone, tablet, etc. I’ve made it very easy to create appts in it.

It’s made my life significantly easier.

intensely_human , to showerthoughts in I wonder how many US babies have been named Donald in the last few years and may live to regret it.

Depends on how far y’all’s Trump derangement syndrome goes. Don’t tell me you’re actually considering taking it out on kids named Donald

Nuke_the_whales ,

I wouldn’t say anyone would take it out on them. But I can imagine growing up and hating your own name. I sympathize because I hate my first and middle name equally.

Matt ,

I can understand Nuke, but what do you have against The?

intensely_human ,

It’s got no Russian translation

intensely_human ,

Why do you hate your first name?

Nuke_the_whales ,

It’s just an ugly name, too ethnic for my liking too. Nobody ever pronounces it properly, or I’m constantly correcting or spelling out my name. It’s a pain in the ass. My middle name has the exact same issue.

I just wish I had a neutral and easy name if not a cool one. I made it a point to give my kid a good name because of it. I was named after parent’s relatives who I never knew. I just hate my name.

Persen ,

Well, we found the Donald Hitler.

Bullies absolutely will.

deadnames?

Like, something with AEX12? Pretty sure it doesn’t mean he has an actual dead child

Using a trans person’s original name when they’ve chosen a new one

Neon ,

Thanks for actually answering and not just downvoting like some toxic fucks in here. It seems that not even Lemmy is immune from social media’s toxicity.

masterofn001 ,

Sometimes people just assume that when someone asks a question that seems obvious to them, the person asking the question HAS to be a troll/bad person.

Also, you’re missing a flag.

Neon ,

Also, you’re missing a flag.

Yeah I know. Problem is: I am a classical liberal in the original, European sense: I don’t care, do whatever makes you happy.

I have no idea which flag supports what. And even if I did: I have heard of “infighting”, so I am scared that my “I support every single one of you” flag gets taken over by some “but not that group” group and I wouldn’t notice and then have a hate-flag on it.

So, since I can’t guarantee I will take the right flag and update it accordingly, I just won’t.

rekorse ,

To be fair your question was phrased a bit confusingly. It was hard to tell if you were asking clarification or supporting Elon in some strange way.

watersnipje ,

He has a transgender daughter, whom he still calls by her old, male name. Calling a trans person by their old name that they no longer use, is called deadnaming.

Snowclone ,

Oh boy. No he has a male to female transgender child, who he intentionally calls by their given name at birth, Also he really switched over to being conservative and anti-trans after said child came out to him. Usually parents go the other way, but he went the extreme hate direction and has seemingly said his child is dead to him.

McLoud , to asklemmy in How to deal with being bald?

I started to go bald at the age of 20, and it was a major kick in the nuts at first. After I finally accepted my fate, i now use a disposable razor in the shower almost every morning, and keep my remaining hair at almost zero length. Some girls dig a bald head, and some girls think its a turnoff. But i have come to enjoy it. It is very low maintenance and it feels great in the summer. More aerodynamic as well lol

ArmokGoB , to world in Media Bias Fact Check - Automation

Choosing one organization to be the arbiter of truth and bias gives them way too much power. I think fact checking should be the responsibility of whoever reads the article.

Carrolade ,

Yes, everyone should always do all their own work every time. Trust nothing! Formula of gravity? Newton and Einstein might be liars, and all the science textbooks could be complicit. Do your own research. Conduct your own experiments. Is the Earth flat? Grab a sailboat and find out!

/parody

thoro ,

You think this organization’s judgement is some objective algorithm and doesn’t contain its own subjective biases?

Carrolade ,

Nearly everything has various types of subjective bias. This is not a good excuse to believe nothing when bias can simply be examined and taken into account.

ArmokGoB ,

This is not a good excuse to believe nothing when bias can simply be examined and taken into account.

By your own reasoning, the examination would have its own bias. This isn’t a mathematical operation with a right answer.

Carrolade ,

Correct. Mathematical certainty is an impossible standard, and seeking it in news reporting is an unrealistic and silly objective that results in nothing useful.

So you’re telling me that when a cat chirps when it sees a bird through the window, it’s really saying “here, birdie birdie birdie” to it?

Icalasari ,

Nah, it's trying to imitate the bird and is going, "No cat here, only friend" (in terms of purpose. In reality, the cat just knows birds with y appearance come to x sound, so make x sound to make y bird maybe come, the cat doesn't understand the mechanics, just that it works)

Cats do have limited mimicry abilities - It's probably why there are so many videos of cats "speaking" human words - adapting that mostly unused mimicry skill to get the human's attention with sounds it notices humans use to get the attention of other humans

smeg ,

Meows are supposedly mimicking human baby noises, definitely works to get our attention!

I started shaving my head when my hair started thinning in my early 30’s. That was 25 years ago. I used to love my hair, but now I would not go back to having hair if I had the option. It took a few weeks to get used to for me.

philpo , to asklemmy in What is the Orb?

Jerry had the orb once and that is enough to know about it… I mean…Jerry!

I use to have long hair and a ponytail. I started to lose hair, like all men in my family, around ~25 yo. (I swear I don’t do roids or testosterone treatment)

I just jumped the gun and shaved i all.

I really enjoy being bald:

  • It feels great to be able to scrub and moisturise your scalp after every shower
  • Sometimes, I will let my beard grow for a few days, and groom it real well (shave clean the bottom half of my neck, and the top of the cheeks). I believe I look good.
