It’s very lightweight, any toaster could run a single user searxng instance.

It’s not appropriate. But don’t take it personal.

I am sensitive to noises, so I can empathize very well with people who suffer when noisy/kids people are around. It can be really debilitating and stressful. And frustrating, as there’s usually no control over that situation. So it’s usual for people to vent the extreme frustration generated by shit talking.

Maybe they have a neighbor with noisy kids and they are suffering every day because of it (as it is my case for instance). So being rude to strangers who may not have special concerns if kids/people are noisy or not is a way to vent. Not a good way, but it’s natural in most people to vent their frustration with people they assume (correctly or not) are related to their suffering.

What I mean is that noise sensibility can be a very serious issue to some people. Empathy and compassion is needed in this cases when defending anything related with noisemaking.

Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never believe he is the character I always see an actor trying to portrait a character. Like with other actores I can believe I am seeing something that happened. With DiCaprio I’m always aware that I’m watching an actor doing a performance.

I don’t know if that makes a lot of sense. But it’s one of the few “good” actor that makes me feel this way.

I’m not paying for my self hosted searxng and I have more control over my search than any kagi user.

Of course. I stand on high moral ground when I chose to pirate.

Economy is broken and anti-consumer. Piracy if the only way I know to balance things of. If I wouldn’t be pirating I would just be letting those economic bullies take advantage of me.

And specially with cultural products there’s another big reason, as I think human culture is to be shared, not sold. I do actually think is inmoral to prevent other humans to freely access anything that could be considered cultural.

Windows or linux?

On linux I know that could cause lots of issues.

On windows I’m not aware of any reason not to keep the graphic drivers updated with nvidia.

Not going to argue about the general kid stance. Just about the “shitty parent” bit, which is also de main complain.

There are two tiers of good/bad parent. There’s the objective one, are the kids being hurt? No, then you are a good parent. Pretty easy.

But there’s a more complex one. Are your education as a parent helping to produce an adult with a series of determined characteristics? This is a lot more complex. As there’s no universal agree on what a good adult is so there cannot be a good agree on which parenting is good because it produces these type of adults.

I’d would assume that when people say “you are a shitty parent” they would me mostly saying “your education will produce an adult that I do not consider desirable in my idea of a society”. That’s subjective. Some people prefer some traits and other prefer others.

As in this general example if someone sees a kids making a lot of noise and their parents not correcting them they may say “that’s a shitty parent”. Do they think they are hurting the kids? No. They’ll just probably think that those kids will grow up to be noisy adults and they don’t like noisy adults, so they think that’s not a desirable education for a kid in their society. Nothing more. I wouldn’t take those “you are a shitty parent” in any other way.

“Big sponge” have us all in their pocket.

My toothbrush head actually starts developing black patches overtime of what I asume is my own bacteria setting in in the brush. Mostly in cavities hard to reach for a normal cleaning.

For me boiling easily removes those dark patches. It is true that they come back faster than the time they took to appear the first time. Put it peaces my mind and I’m still alive after all this time.

Funnily enough I stopped using washing sponges in the shower and start washing myself only with my hand because someone told me that sponges were bacterial paradise. And to be true I found out that I really don’t need a sponge to clean myself.

This is like Nostradamus for me. I don’t want to update and deal with potential breaks.

What do you do for them to break so soon?

I’ve had two electric toothbrushes in my life. The first one lasted for maybe 10 years. The breaking point was plastic degradation which occluded the internal electronics and destroyed de button to turn it on.

I think could have been repaired with the right materials. The repairability of the brand I buy is pretty good.

For anyone curious the brand is:

The electric toothbrushes are nice but the head replacements are too expensive and I’ve not find a suitable offbrand replacement. So I end up boiling the toothbrush heads several times to extend their lifetime.

The other day I saw someone on lemmy calling some other user a nazi because he didn’t want to support .ml

And they suggested that if they don’t want to support lemmy developers they should “go back to stormfront”.

There surely is an abundance of people calling other nazis just because they disagree with them.

Now I have a interesting moral question.

What’s if the nazi baker is the only in town or it’s the only who make bread at a price you can afford?

There’s certainly a threshold where morals outweigh the desire for a product or service.

It would depend on many factors, I don’t think is as black/white as it may seen.

No one can predict the future. One way or the other.

The best way to not be let behind is to be flexible about whatever may come.

Here’s a forum post talking about it 10 years ago.

https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-do-i-remove-the-1px-border-from-impress-in-full-screen-mode/12096

At least bug report was filled on 2021. It’s possible that other bug reports about this have been opened and closed through the years, bug still there.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142832

Still unsolved. Creator of the bug report states that it has been around for years. Which I can verify, as it has happened to me for more than a decade too.

It’s not. Installed and tried last month. A bug that’s older that many people here with Fullscreen is still present.

I think in the eu we have some legislation about it. I have the feeling of reading about a law like that before. Subscription buttons needing to be as clear as unsubscribe.

Center spain. Until 6pm we didn’t had internet or electricity. But most TPV still worked.

Here is an article explaining why: https://www.xataka.com/servicios/resolviendo-grandes-incognitas-apagon-que-algunos-datafonos-funcionaban-red-otros-no

Basically there’s two ways. The SAI of the supermarkets keep them going. Or they had the advanced models that accepted offline transactions.

In Spain credit cards still worked during the outage.

And the proposal for digital Euro already contemplate an offline mode for transactions.

As long as the power loss doesn’t last days and batteries die out there would not be a problem with that.

And outage of days will bring so many problems that cashless society might be the less of them.

We can return to a primitive society to avoid dependence on electricity, but do we want that?

I think the best option is just people be prepared with food medicines and offline entertainment for a week in case of a big power loss.

That’s what I mean. That’s an ideology for sure. But it is not socialism imho. It’s not about controlling the means of production and the technology to give us the advantages that the capitalists have now.

This other ideology is about returning to simpler times, I think. And I’m not about that.

I’m about controlling the factories, not returning to artisans.

Most of those claims could be applied to factories, though, or to most technologies.

I don’t like this trend because it’s a conservative approach IMHO. A little primitivist even.

Think of a chair factory. It took jobs away from artisans. It allowed fewer capitalist to further exploit workers and concentrate wealth. It hurt the environment way more than artisan chair making…

But those factories and their workers are the base of the socialist movement. Giving the control of those means of production to the workers. Not destroying them.

If we are talking about destroying the means of production instead of taking control of them in my opinion we are talking about other thing, not socialism.

I worries me because it tilts the objectives that I think have the socialist movement. And it stirs towards other port that I don’t know if I’m comfortable arriving.
