I bring a book and pace around in the water while I read.

As a security professional, what finally got me to move from Apache to NGINX was OpenResty.

I sometimes still put Apache behind it, depending on my goals.

wolf , to piracy in I used to love Android but I want to move, and I don't know if it's the right thing.

there is no android phone that I am passionate about,

Not what you asked for:

A phone is a tool which should enable you to do stuff. Be passionate about friends, hobbies, art, not a piece of plastic.

Being forced to use iOS (work phone) and Android (Samsung, also work), both suck IMHO but Android sucks less.

My next Android will be a Pixel, as others suggested custom roms are the way to go, but even vanilla Android is more functional/open/practical for my needs than iOS.

I would never buy Apples shit with my own money: Dumped down, locked down and in the end you are renting a device from Apple to pay fees for their Appstore and Cloud offerings and vendor lock in. No thanks.

prole ,

I will add that, after getting my first Pixel as my previous phone, I’ve found the Google vanilla Android experience is better than Android on other carriers that fill the phone with bloat that you can’t get rid of without rooting.

fjord_monkey , to fediverse in Move to defederate *.ml, hexbear, lemmygrad, etc.

Just link to support websites to do with solvent abuse (paint/glue huffing) whenever you see a hexbear / lemmygrad post. Push the narrative that they all huff paint and eventually they’ll isolate themselves.

cordlesslamp , to asklemmy in What isn't illegal but should be?

Lies and exaggerated advertising.

No, it’s not “best in the world” or “lightning fast”, it’s an entry level $200 GPU!

No, it doesn’t have “crystal clear high-res screen”, it’s just a budget phone!

No, that tampon will not change my lifestyle!

No, that perfume will not make guys drooling over me!

I’m ok with “it’s decent quality with an affordable price”.

I’m ok with “it’s the best budget-friendly option”.

I’m ok with “it’s not the best in the world, but it’s definitely worth a try”.

@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

I personally think the “how good is it” part of “advertising” should literally just be a percentage value of “how many existing customers say it was worth it”.

But even that would get gamed the way 5/5 amazon reviews can be bought today already.

So maybe it should really just be “it’s a insert thing made out of insert material produced in insert country by insert labour conditions and it costs insert price”.

Duke_Nukem_1990 , (edited ) to asklemmy in What isn't illegal but should be?

Killing animals for pleasure.

Edit: I love how the voting discrepancy here shows the hypocrisy lol

Trail ,

This is generally illegal and heavily fined as well. Depends on where you live, I guess.

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

Taste pleasure.

Mothra ,

Also depends on which animals

IoSapsai ,

It’s generally legal and heavily subsidised. See also animal agriculture.

otp ,

Sustenance is different from pleasure

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

So you agree that if it isn’t for sustenance, in the case where you can just simply eat something else, it should be illegal?

otp ,

Sustenance doesn’t mean “the only thing available”.

Look, I’m excited for lab-grown meat. I’ve reduced my meat consumption significantly over the last year or two. I may not be “in your camp” exactly, but I’m an ally. And it’s probably better to earn and keep allies than to argue semantics in an adversarial way. Win more flies with honey and all that.

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

I assume you agree o the general statement “Animals shouldn’t be killed for pleasure.”

If you then have two options for food, one including animal meat and one without, all other things being equal, even nutrition wise, then how is it not “for pleasure” to chose the option with meat?

otp ,

Killing for pleasure implies hunting for sport.

Chopping up a cow so that tons of people can buy its meat is different than someone hunting bears for sport and leaving the corpse where it lands.

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

Killing for pleasure implies hunting for sport.

??? lmao no it doesn’t.

otp ,

Sorry that your metaphor didn’t land with everyone.

AnarchistsForKamala ,

for most people making taht decision does not involve killing anything. both options have already been harvested and presented.

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

“Harvested” xD nice euphemism

AnarchistsForKamala ,

how else do you describe gathering farmed food?

AnarchistsForKamala ,

no one said that. you’re making a leap of logic.

Duke_Nukem_1990 ,

It was a question. I said that.

AnarchistsForKamala ,

that’s not killing for pleasure.

Kit ,

Does your country not allow hunting?

stoy ,

Hunting isn’t purely done for fun, it is also done to harvest meat

AnarchistsForKamala ,

and ecological conservation

stoy ,

Absolutely, the biggest nature lovers in my family are all hunters, they enjoy being in the woods, they enjoy seeing animals, they follow the rules to only harvest as much they are allowed and only during the season permitted.

Cryophilia ,

In my country it’s mostly done for fun.

stoy ,

So people go out, shoot a deer and just leave it there?

Seems like an extreme waste to me…

Cryophilia ,

It’s usually not that much extra effort to take the carcass and bring it to a butcher, so they do that sometimes. But yeah. Often, just leave it.

It’s actually not all that bad because we have a lack of natural predators (because we already hunted them almost to extinction) so hunting keeps the deer population from exploding.

stoy ,

Ok, so they also do make a good deed in adition to just hunting.

Cryophilia ,

More like helping fix a problem they caused in the first place, but yeah.

swordgeek ,

Trophy hunting, after all this time, is still legal and big business.

Mango , to nostupidquestions in Would I get banned here for being over active? I got banned from reddit because they thought I was a bot. And don't want to repeat the same mistake here. Thank you ahead of time.

aniki , to fediverse in Move to defederate *.ml, hexbear, lemmygrad, etc.

Why not just call out their tankie bullshit? It’s fun, entertaining, and rewarding.

Is this defederation bullshit going to be the next post that every newbie makes? You can do it yourself – don’t tell me what to do.

SupraMario ,

Because they just ban you and delete the post. There is no way to call them out if you’re unable to respond to their tankie bullshit.

MyOpinion ,

1000% agree that is exactly what happens. These hexbear snowflakes are terrible.

meldrik ,

Then don’t participate in communities on those instances?

SupraMario ,

Yea I don’t, but just like nazis I’d rather not have them allowed a voice here on lemmy. It’s poison.

Makhno ,

Learn to shut up and move on? Your opinion isn’t always necessary?

Don’t waste time arguing with tankies

SupraMario ,

The fuck? I was answering why it’s better to remove .ml than to argue with them. Just like Nazis, communist authoritarian shits should be stamped out. Both ideologies are posion to humans.

Your opinion wasn’t needed here either but you gave it champ.

intensely_human ,

Sometimes you can stomp the ideology out of a person without having to stomp the person.

SupraMario ,

So you’re willing to work with Nazis to change their mind then?

intensely_human ,

You find me a Nazi and I’ll give it a shot. My hunch is you haven’t been within a hundred miles of a Nazi in your life.

SupraMario ,

Lol I live in the south and part of my family is from eastern Europe…you have no clue who I am.

intensely_human ,

So send me a picture, that you took, of a nazi that you saw.

Or if it never crossed your mind to take such a picture, next time you see a nazi, get a photo.

Simple as that. Show me evidence that you have nazis in your world, because I don’t believe you.

SupraMario ,

ROFL you’re either blind or ignorant if you think the south doesn’t have neo-nazis and white nationalist.

intensely_human ,

I don’t post on the tankie instances. I just call them out in the comments.

So far they haven’t banned me. So far as I know I’m only banned from one community, which is something about climate change.

The tankies, to their miserable credit, seem ready for a fight. I respect that.

SupraMario ,

You’re lucky then, cause every time I’ve said something its ban and post removal. same thing when i see someone else comment.

ArmokGoB ,

I got a two week instance ban on .ml for calling out their tankie bullshit. No respectable instance should federate with them unless they replace their admins, at the very least.

Etterra , to science_memes in the final boss after you clear Donald Knuth

Isn’t algebra just an Englishized Arabic for “the math?”

Damage ,

From this dude’s wiki page:

His popularizing treatise on algebra, compiled between 813–33 as Al-Jabr (The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing), […] The English term algebra comes from the short-hand title of his aforementioned treatise (الجبر Al-Jabr, transl. “completion” or “rejoining”).

Etterra ,

Oh okay, there we go. Thanks.

Mothra , to asklemmy in What isn't illegal but should be?

Supermarkets and businesses throwing food away and not allowing people to take it for free. (“If I can’t sell it nobody can have it”).

Cryophilia ,

Would only work if you also made them immune from lawsuits due to people getting sick from eating expired food.

wewbull ,

The food would presumably “last moment before expiry” i.e. we can’t sell this tomorrow so we give it away tonight.

Zak ,
@Zak@lemmy.world avatar

Expiration dates on packaged food are almost always about how enjoyable the food is to eat, not safety. Donating expired packaged food with legal protection from liability would be good for the world.

eldavi ,

they already are under the good samaritan laws; they use lawsuits as an excuse for their shitty behavior.

Cryophilia ,

Depends on your location. Good Samaritan laws vary widely.

dwindling7373 , to asklemmy in What isn't illegal but should be?

Gambling, overtime working.

Mothra , to asklemmy in What creative project have you long wanted to start but never have?

A novel. First because I’m not sure on some key aspects of the plot, second because I’m not an amazing writer

pugsnroses77 ,

you wont get any better at writing by avoiding it. start writing out your current key plot points and see if your pen can guide you towards some others

grrgyle ,

What the other person said: practice in public. You’ll learn faster and actually get stuff done. It’ll feel like walking down Main Street with no clothes on, but you’ll actually make progress.

I started a writing club on here specifically because I’m such trash at holding myself accountable to creative stuff. And it’s not like I’m Isaac Asimov now, but I’m definitely making more stuff than if I hadn’t tried.

Anyway, I know it’s easier said than done, and actual execution can feel so uncomfortable, but I recommend it.

grrgyle ,

Also maybe check out the “snowball” outlining method. There’s no secret sauce, except whatever actually gets you writing
