When you have a few inches flat at the end, fold it over and tape it. Repeat as needed.

Is there ever any explanation for that style of armour that so many people in DBZ wear?

Doll_Tow_Jet-ski ,

It has a single origin. Sayayin culture. Remember Vegeta was a sayayin, and he and his friends introduced that type of armor when they landed on earth for the first time.

*Saiya-jin or Saiyan, if you prefer the english version. The word Saiya is supposed to be a pun on the japanese word Yasai (野菜), meaning vegetable.

loaExMachina ,

But Frieza’s troops also wear them, and so does Frieza himself (in his weakest form, before he breaks it) despite looking down on the Saiyajin. So are you sure it was the Saiyajin who introduced it to Frieza’s empire, and not the other way around?

jol ,

I believe sayans used it because they were under Friza’s rule.

STOP USING AMAZON YOU FUCKING DONKEYS

Then what do I use as an alternative?

Walmart? Ooo so much better lmfao

“Shop local”? Are you gonna subsidize my bank account for the 2x-4x premium it would cost me to “shop local”

Mr_Blott ,

Are you suggesting there are no other websites where you can buy what you need, or are you saying they cost a little bit more and have slightly longer delivery times, and that inconveniences you, so you’d rather not support smaller companies?

Thanks for that

cm0002 ,

There are plenty of websites for the things I want and won’t mind shopping around for a few weeks, the things I need however, is a different story. My choices for something like toilet paper is 15 at Amazon, 15-17 at Walmart, or 20+ at a local store.

I and many others, can’t afford to shop local, we can’t afford it and Walmart is just as bad as Amazon soo Amazon it is

It’s bad enough keeping up with brands to boycott, now people want others to boycott whole retail channels. Boycotting gets expensive.

Push for regulations, vote with your vote not your wallet

EBay, Walmart, newegg and others. I’ve never used Walmart online so I can’t say how good of an experience that is.

For most things I just go to a store in person.

cm0002 ,

eBay is great for some things

Walmart is just slapping lipstick on a pig and calling it a chicken

Newegg can go fuck off, enshittification came for them LONG ago

You just need to be a good shopper. That’s why online is always going to be problematic.

joeldebruijn OP , to linux in /run/user/1000: What to do with it?

Thanks everybody, I learned a ton these 2 days. Like a ’ jump’ in understanding. Not only the specific answer to my concrete question but also on a conceptual level as well.

The thing that makes Linux next level for me now is the extra ‘abstraction layer’.

Thing is, for me, digital files always were as tangible as the analog object they represent. A digital document is as ‘real’ as a paper document. An email as real as a letter. But untill now files where ‘real’ digital artefacts. And thats … a bit different with ‘virtual’ files, sort of.

Anyway, new concepts to explore which is great!

BananaTrifleViolin , (edited ) to linux in /run/user/1000: What to do with it?

I think others have answered what the folder should do.

FSearch is great, but I wouldn’t index the entire file system. There isn’t much point in indexing things you won’t be using such as all the system files and the representations of hardware processes. It’s a bit like on Windows indexing c:\windows - you just don’t need all that clogging up your search results. But the Linux filesystem encompasses much more so you’d get even more stuff.

On my system I index my home folder (where all your own files will be kept) and my mount points (for me a series of drives I mount under /mnt/). You could also index /media (or variants) as that is where USB drives, and CDs etc would mount to - but I don’t tend to index USB sticks etc.

I can see circumstances where you might want to index other locations depending on how you use fsearch and Linux, but I think for most users it’d just be unnecessary indexing and results.

Edit: I saw someone else mention /etc too. That can be useful if you want to find system config files. They also mentioned /usr/share/docs which contains a lot of the Linux manual/distro docs amongst others. If you want to access that then it’s not a bad idea to index it, although most people are online all the time now on multiple devices so it may be a bit redundant for most users day to day; I tend to just search online documentation.

NotJustForMe , to reddit in ...

So what, give the CEO half and pay the rest to the mods? Like 1300 bucks per year without tax and fees. What would be left? 50 bucks per month? Reddit has like 75000 moderators. Some for huge Subreddits, some for small ones. Equal pay? Or what?

Someone has to organize all that paying, many are in different countries, different tax laws. In the end, there would be like 20 bucks per month for each. You then would also require extra heavy checks for moderation quality to ensure they are worth their pay. You’d need systems to prevent abuse. If there’s money involved, people become extra greedy. Just pay some of them? Only the ones working a few hours per day? Pay per moderating action? What?

Or you just do double pay for the CEO. Seems like a no-brainer.

“Our business model sucks and we don’t want to do the work to pay the people who perform labor for us. Therefore, our CEO deserves a hundred million dollars.”

Yeah, makes sense. Carry on.

He is being paid $300k-ish. The rest is options that may turn out to be worthless or worth a lot less than currently valued.

@Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net avatar

But if we actually pay the moderators we have to double and triple check to make sure they earned it.

Tankiedesantski ,

We’re high IQ tech bros who deserve to be paid millions, but you can’t expect us to work out basic management and payroll techniques literally every industry has implemented!

NuraShiny ,

Yes to all of this, except for paying the CEO more. The CEO should get nothing. Running the company should be its own reward.

KeenFlame ,

It is a no brainier in the complete opposite direction you proposed

chocosoldier ,

“paying people who create value for your company is too complicated to worry about” is a weird justification

If there’s money involved, people become extra greedy. Guess whos greedy in this scenario.

Syrc ,

…or you invest the money in actually making your platform decent and adding features mods have been asking for years. But then big number doesn’t go up so it’s a bad idea I guess.

NotJustForMe ,

I guess I would also answer that with controversial opinion.

They don’t want a better platform. Reddit does exactly what they want it to do. To generate tons of discussions about the same things, over and over again. To generate loads of different feelings and situations. To create a very diverse pool of data.

They might have started out with a good ideology, but then success came.

I like to compare it with Quora. It could have been the best site of its kind. But it served its purpose, being a feed-bucket for an AI, and now it’s not even moderated anymore. And they did pay their users and mods, but it didn’t work out, too many tiny transactions, only like a handful of people got anything, and those abused it like crazy.

Just my take on it. Such payment models won’t work. A few giants will earn the majority, and they will cheat and fight for it, the rest will still get nothing. They could have taken three thirds of that CEO money to create a few resident jobs. But why bother, Reddit is exactly how they want it to be. Most users just don’t realize the pseudo-scam, believing it’s their favorite discussion platform that they can influence, while the creators have a content-generator with free labor in mind.
