@Rottcodd@kbin.social avatar

It's not simply that people believe specific things, but that they define themselves in terms of what they believe.

And in fact, it's often the case that people invest in specific beliefs not because they've reasoned their way to that conclusion, but simply because they've effectively picked it off the rack of possible beliefs as the one that most clearly represents whatever image of themselves they wish to promote - it's the position held by smart people or enlightened people or trendy people or moral people or strong people or whatever.

So if you try to argue against their belief, you face two immediate and generally insurmountable obstacles.

First, they're psychologically invested in the belief, so if you call it into question, you're not just threatening the belief - you're threatening their self-image. Anything that casts doubt on the belief by extension casts doubt on their self-affirming presumption that holding the belief demonstrates their intelligence/morality/whatever.

And second, since it's likely the case that they didn't reason their way to the position in the first place, they can't becreasoned away from it anyway. So itvinevitably shifts back to their psychological investment in the position, and your attempts at reason are a distraction at best.

Could you add the source of a media outlet that I trust to support your claims?

Homeschooled316 , to gaming in Games like Marvel:Midnight Suns?

It’s a novel hybrid of two genres, so the recommendations are all going to be split between them. The best (western) turn based tactics game is likely XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. The best deckbuilder card game is likely Slay the Spire.

If you want a tactics game that retains the social/character aspects, you’re looking for Fire Emblem: Three Houses, but that’s on the switch.

Showroom7561 , to selfhosted in What are you using for photo storage and organization?

Synology Moments, which is their older version of their photo app. I still use the older version because it supports object recognition. I just wish it had a map view.

gadgetzombie ,

Fwiw I read that object recognition is coming back with 7.2

There’s a DSM docker that enables the use of Synology Photos without having to buy a Diskstation as well if others are scrolling through this

Woah! I’ll need to check that out!

Jumper775 , to nostupidquestions in Why people can't handle the truth?

Confirmation bias is strong with some.

ErwinLottemann , to selfhosted in What are you using for photo storage and organization?

I sync them to out local fileserver using syncthing and recently started using immich (since it supports custom libraries now)

somedaysoon , (edited )
@somedaysoon@lemmy.world avatar

It sounds like we have similar setups. I do the same with syncthing, works great, and not only backs up my photos but everything else on my phone like custom ringtones, notifications, exported backups from many different apps along with full neo-backup exports… basically all the common /sdcard/ directories like: Audio, Backups, DCIM, Downloads, Pictures, Documents, Screenshots etc.

I’m interested in immich for it’s multiuser sharing so I can easily share photos with others in the house. I have a huge directory of images, all sorted in folders, so until I can add that read only, immich isn’t an option for me. I tried setting it up with the monolithic docker image, and it didn’t import the directory the way I wanted it to, and seemingly made full copies of all the images into it’s own upload directory when I tried importing with the cli-tool. I was looking at it recently and the read only mode seems early stages. How do you like it so far?

Immich seems like it’s aim is to be firstly a phone photo backup solution… and that is not what I want… I already have a backup solution. All I really want is a mobile friendly way to look at all the photos I have already. PhotoPrism works exactly how I want but the one feature it lacks that I would really like is multiuser. I have seen there is a workaround for sharing with PhotoPrism where you can run individual instances for each user and then share a common directory… and right now that is preferable to immich for me unless they sort out the read only feature.

scrpy is still better than any other alternative

voidMainVoid , to nostupidquestions in Why people can't handle the truth?

Most people’s values and beliefs are all wrapped up with their sense of self, so if those beliefs get attacked, they feel like they’re being attacked.

Avoiding this is very tricky and counter-intuitive, but there are techniques. Look up “street epistemology” if you’d like to know more. There’s a guy on YouTube who goes to college campuses and has discussions with passersby regarding their beliefs. Basically, it’s asking people “What do you believe?” and “Why do you believe that?” Like I said, though, it’s tricky and takes a lot of practice, and it’s really easy to fall back into old patterns again.

Hello_there , to showerthoughts in "A Boy Named Sue" is the greatest song about accepting your struggles, while also refusing to pass that trauma onto your children.

Only I some versions. In some the singer decided to name their child sue as well, perpetuating the trauma

thisbenzingring ,

gotta make sure that boy is tough!

Ragnell ,
@Ragnell@kbin.social avatar

This is known as "ruining the song."

fidodo ,

Wait, why? The reason the first father named him sue was because he abandoned him, so is the other version saying that they’re also going to abandon them?

rikudou , to linux in What is you backup tool of choice?

Git for projects, NAS for 3D printing stuff, mods for games and unofficial game translations, Google Photos for photos (looking to migrate away from that when I have time). I don’t much care about anything else.

ErwinLottemann ,

Git as backup?! Ok…

bellsDoSing ,

Git for projects

I assume the original comment meant code based projects, for which git, if repo is pushed to a remote, is a very sane choice.

andruid ,

Yeah, git without LFS isn’t optimal for non-text files.

rikudou ,

Yep, that’s what I meant. If it’s a public project, it’s on my GitHub, if it’s a private one, it’s on my private GitLab instance.

BaconIsAVeg ,

Meaning that as long as you’re regularly committing your work to Github/Gitlab/wherever, you don’t need to backup your source directory.

stephenc , to selfhosted in What are you using for photo storage and organization?

I just use a folder of photos and then use digiKam to manage them. But it’s just me, I don’t need to share photos with anyone else. I like digiKam but it doesn’t play great with concurrent users out of the box. I think there’s a way to use a shared database though.

kelvie , to linux in Should I bother learning Podman?

Depending on what you’re using it for. For companies it feels like the tide is shifting toward using k8s and not caring what actually runs your containers.

m3adow ,
@m3adow@feddit.de avatar

That’s been the case for years now. No sane company runs production workloads on Docker or Docker compose. There’s niche solutions like Hashicorps Nomad or Docker Swarm, but most will probably either use a Hyperscalers container offering and/or use Kubernetes.

They do, and then they write blog posts about how the complexity is killing their teams productivity.

erwan ,

That’s for production, in dev Docker (or podman) is very much used.

Sanctus , to android in What are your power user/advanced use cases for your phone?
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

My phone is setup to pretty much do my IT job from it if I have to. I can remote into my work computer/servers and accomplish pretty much any task I need to. Its extremely handy having a foldable for the extra screen space when I need it.

giant_smeeg OP ,

Yeah I bet it is! I don’t like any extra fat on my phone but I have an S8 tablet that I load with shit so might look at setting up some workstuff on mine.

They are BYOD, so I have to install the MS management crap…

Sanctus ,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m the one who does the management shit at my work so guess who doesn’t abide by any of it themselves?

kratoz29 ,

What tools do you use to access it?

Sanctus ,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Android Studio. If you’re on windows you’ll want to navigate to the folder with abd.exe in it and run it using the command line. This guide explains it far better than I could. Here is a list of bloatware that is safe to remove. Look over those packages, I didn’t remove them all cause I wanted GPay and stuff still.

kratoz29 ,

Huh, I think you wrote the wrong response mate.

Sanctus ,

Wow two different android threads has done a number on me. I use strongSWAN VPN and RD Client to access it through our firewall. Apologies lol

ShadowZone , to android in What are your power user/advanced use cases for your phone?
@ShadowZone@lemmy.world avatar

I used my Pixel 5 as a mobile recording rig. Plugged in my audio interface via USB-C (which powered it as well), two wireless XLR receivers and used the app n-track to record an interview with an astronaut at an ESA event (lav mic on myself and the astronaut).

In that moment, I felt like a pro.

Unfortunately, the interview didn’t get a lot of views on my YouTube channel haha

Looks like a great channel! Subbed and I’ll watch the video later.

rhubb , to android in Discussion: What Android devices are you using?

Pixel 6a

Likes: As it’s my first pixel phone I was shocked to see how smooth the OS (13) is, the haptic feedback being everywhere makes the device feel abit more snappier, double tapping the back of the phone as a gesture (it’s kind of niche but it’s nice to have)

Dislike: It gets toasty lmao (I’m not on 5g of anything so I’m kinda of confused why :(( ), ugly default contact app, so-so battery life
