I believe there is still an open issue on Github for this, but no one was interested to help implement and test it. So use the search function and contribute!

LainTrain , to piracy in Pirated copy of Photoshop getting shut down on its own?

I had the same issue just last week with a more recent copy of premiere I got. Just block all internet access in your firewall to Photoshop and it will go away.

Drusas , to asklemmy in Can anyone name some mysteries in stories where the answer ended up delivering and was better than the mystery itself?

A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul G. Tremblay comes to mind.

I don't know that the payoff is necessarily better than the mystery, but the show Dark is a great mystery story as well.

ApollosArrow OP ,

This is one hard to say. Dark is one of my favorite shows, but I do think the journey is better, the journey is kind of the process for the acceptance of the finale, so it does make sense.

Thank you!

I did it, a few times. I just hold on to the cigarette for my life.

__init__ , to selfhosted in Open-source and self-hosted enterprise?

At home vs. for work are very different. At home, I self host as much as I can. At work, I use as many managed services as I can. Especially databases.

matcha_addict ,

To each their own I guess, databases are ridiculously expensive when managed and I always self host.

Grumpy , to memes in Capitalism: expectation vs reality

Reality has all of them. But the quality competitors are expensive and this keeps it to a niche audience. Then you have the race to the bottom competition that does business in quantity over quality and likely the one you grab since you’re also likely to value price over everything else.

ArbitraryValue ,

always chooses the cheapest option

quality isn’t great

Capitalism is to blame!

rando895 ,

I mean, private ownership by those who don’t do the work or consume the product, yet get to make the decisions is to blame, yes. And that is capitalism by definition so… Capitalism is to blame…

They usually cut costs in unnoticeable for regular consumer way. Like include some chemistry that easy to produce and makes it tasty, but bad for health.

MossyFeathers , to science_memes in Things that we hate

What’s worse is when you have an idea, don’t have any idea how to pursue it because you’re not a professional [career] and don’t have experience making whatever it is; and then you see a successful paper or product months or years later about that exact same idea, made by someone who actually knows what they’re doing.

It’s frustrating yet validating. Frustrating because, “that could have been me”, validating because “I thought of the idea before it’d been developed too! I’m so smart.”

I should start keeping a list of times when that happens. If I had a nickel for every time it happened, I’d have 2~3 nickels; which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened two or three times now.

chatokun ,

Studies generally take time, so if it were months later they likely had it before you. The years later is a maybe, but also possible because it takes time to get grants to do studies as well. Exceptions tend to be more urgent stuff like the pandemic, but even then we had SARS outbreaks decades ago and they’ve been studying it for a while, even if it wasn’t specific SARS-COV-2.

Sometimes I wish just being an “idea-person” would be a paid job.

flora_explora ,

I don’t want to take away from your joy and validation. You sound like a generally curious person who is frequently churning out ideas.

But that’s not how ideas (for doing experiments/doing research) work. Especially not in a scientific context. You have to have intimate knowledge of any matter to sift through a huge amount of various ideas and pluck out the ones that are feasible, that make sense and that are promising. That takes time and effort. Curiosity is obviously key, but actually pursuing any idea means a lot of work. It’s much more frustrating than one might think, especially because it usually doesn’t work the way you initially imagine it will. And most of these ideas need many years, or even decades to develop and study.

MossyFeathers ,

Yes, I’m very aware of everything you just said. Doesn’t mean it isn’t frustrating to find out that an idea you had was a good idea, but you couldn’t study it because you don’t know enough about the subject. I love science and engineering, but I didn’t find that out until after I graduated and I don’t have the money to “respec”.

Actually, Pavlov WAS the dog. Pavlov’s dogs were his friends, who accompanied him on his adventure to find a bell and drool on it.

I recently learned vanillian has over 200 ingredients. I realize demand for natural vanilla is probably bad for the habitat, but I've no idea what those chemicals do, ingested singly, let alone how they may interact together, with digestive liquids.

We have sold the same glass of lemonade back and forth between eachother 8 million times so somehow we both have negative tax rates now!

Grumpy ,

This comment seems to have a negative understanding of how accounting and taxes work.

You’d lose money if you do this. And your tax rate is unaffected since revenue and cost go up identically.

PP_BOY_ , to nostupidquestions in I have been to jail in the US. How come they always offer a bible instead of offering you different religious books like a quran?
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Probably sponsored by a local Church. I’m sure that prisons in areas with large Jewish, Muslim, etc. populations have similar programs.

Talking out of my ass here, I can’t imagine it would be that difficult for someone to get a holy book from a different religion, though

xmunk , to nostupidquestions in I have been to jail in the US. How come they always offer a bible instead of offering you different religious books like a quran?

Because the separation of church and state in America is constantly under attack and there’s a large political movement to make America officially Christian.

Chozo ,

Just to add an extra dystopian layer: the separation of church and state doesn't apply, because the prisons are all privately-owned and operated.

TheRedSpade ,

In another comment, OP said it was county jail which would be local government-operated.

Twitches ,

That is called Christian nationalism.
