The Prime Directive is not a bad idea when it exists to minimise harm. When it gets turned into a pseudo-religious dogma, where it is considered better to allow a culture to be extinguished than to risk contaminating it, that’s when there are problems for me.
Zero tolerance policies ensure injustice in outlier cases. Yes, it’s unethical to interfere in a civilization’s development 99.9% of the time, but there are always exceptions. Ignoring outliers is pretending your system is above the fundamental laws of the universe.
A thought experiment occurred to me. What is the absolute best subject for a zero tolerance policy? Genocide is the first thought. The most horrific evil that could ever be inflicted.
But let’s say hypothetically, there was a virus that was highly-transmissible and has a 100% fatality rate. A virus killing all of mankind. And let’s say somehow this virus is sentient. We have no idea how it works, but we can confirm that it thinks, feels, etc. The virus is provably sentient for our hypothetical purposes.
If someone develops an absolute cure to the disease, it will save everyone, but it will also wipe out the sentient virus. That is technically genocide, but it saves all life from death. Should a zero tolerance policy govern? Or can we at least have a conversation about wiping out the sentient virus?
@NVariable@Benfell isn’t this an ‘us vs them’ choice for mutual genocide?
My hot take: we either (a) persuade the virus to stop our genocide or (b) kill it because we could have coexisted if only they’d been able to.
But that has a Corollary: If one deems ‘us vs them’ must be decided in favor of the organism able to coexist without annihilating another (something the virus can’t prevent itself from doing): is human-caused mass-extinction an indictment against us? Seems so.
Are the other networks you’ve tried from the same or different?
I’d start with traceroute and see how far your IPv6 traffic gets before it fails. It could very well be some peering or routing issue between some of the ISPs in between you and wherever that IPv6 address lives. If this ends up identifying where the traffic dies, a lot of the tier 1 ISPs have BGP looking glass servers so you can get an idea of what they know about that subnet.
I’ve tried from networks outside my home and I can access the server from there. Looking at a traceroute, I stop getting anything somewhere between my ISP and the datacenter the server is in.
By all means, you do you. But here is how I see it.
Reddit is now all out to get money. I don’t want them to use my content to get it. I was fine going so when they provided a service, but now that I don’t like their terms, my content will be gone.
There is next to no information I provided that is unique. If I found a solution, it’s only because I founded it elsewhere. I am not destroying information.
For that which is unique, it is merely my opinion, and see point 1.
I just want to add that it all depends on where you live. I don’t know what you mean by “most”. I would say most in cities with good bike lanes like Paris and Amsterdam would say most take the bike, or cities with great public transport like Tokyo would say most take public transport. If you live in a place like USA where it is dangerous to walk and the public transport is almost none existing then most would take the car. I think New York has ok public transport. But I don’t know, when I was there were sandy coming in so all of the subways were closed off.
The fake information reminds me of the last time I went to the grocery store. The cashier said to the woman in front of me something like “Thank you Mrs. Smith” so I assumed she was a regular and the cashier knew her. When I checked out I fished out my rewards card and the cashier scanned it and said “Thank you Mr. Richards, have a nice day.” I almost said “Thanks but who is Richards?” But then I remembered I am Richards, that is the fake name I filled out years ago but no one has ever used it (and are they supposed to?)
Honestly, I had to use podman at work due to… issues.
Its close enough to docker, that most docker commands will work just fine. You can even alias docker as podman, and things will for the most part, just work.
HOWEVER, there are some big changes and difference. First- podmon creates a systemctl for your containers, for starting them. This- is different, and if you forget to tell it to create the service- then your containers won’t start.
My personal opinion after using it for a few years? I strongly prefer docker. It gives me very few issues. I have spent too much time troubleshooting odd things podman does.
In the US, the state of public transit outside of a handful of (very expensive) cities is significantly slower and less reliable than taking a car. I would pin the reason for this on the shift of people outside of urban areas into suburban ones, and the lobbying power of the automotive industry to convince the government and citizens alike that cars were the right choice.
If public transit is the fastest option in the area, people do choose to take it! That’s the case for me too in the past couple of cities I’ve lived in. But most cities have a long way to go before they get there.
Aside from just talking about this from a convenience angle, a message that might help explain the issues with car dependency is how much more it costs! People that are more hesitant about public services might be easier to convince with a cost-based argument. This is a great video explaining the actual cost of car ownership.
I’m not familiar with the term unsers. However, there is a point for multiple communities. Lemmy is meant to be decentralized with no central authority, leading to multiple communities that are the same (or with similar topics) that have different rules and moderators.
As an example, the first one is based on posting AI generated images with no specific platform while the second one is to share tips, questions, and images created on Midjourney only. This shows the differences, but even if the topics were entirely the same, it would be important for choice and decentralization
Objectively for the US it might be the Kensington area of Philadelphia. It's the poorest neighborhood of a poor city that became known for a massive open drug and prostitution market. At any time of the day or night you can find tons of people stumbling through the streets out of their minds. People are frequently killed by violence and accidentally hit by cars. The most common drug there "tranq" is literally the horse tranquilizer Xylazine that is resistant to narcan.
I found two news headlines from days apart side by side that kind of signify how the entire situation is being viewed and addressed.
"Philadelphia neighborhood worries sinkhole will swallow their cars on Keim Street."
"30-foot sinkhole in Philadelphia swallows car." No kidding.
Speaking from a US standpoint, the public transit sucks. The main issue where I’m at is lack of bus stops, and the bus is never on time. I’d have to walk down a highway (not interstate) to get to the bus stop, then it might not even arrive on time.
Cars are faster, most of the time. However, they still suck. Traffic in dense areas is heavy at almost all times of day where anyone is active. It’s really a failure on the US government why people dont take public transit as much.
I’m not a person who’d be loyal to a brand. Yet Motorola consistently produces devices that turn out to be the best trade-offs (price to functionality) for me. And, so far, all these devices were pretty durable as well, though it’s not that I really put smartphones into lots of use. That’s all I can say.
