While I agree that we have the technology to wildly decreas emissions by just cutting down on inefficient production, I do want to point out people did infact starve due to covid/lockdowns. Many lost jobs, big corps took the opportunity to run mom and pop shops out of buissness, prices skyrocketed. My family wen't from scrapping by to relying on food drives

If your truely going the endevour route, here some tips on recoving from a broken state:

• The archwiki is your friend, read the relevant pages before asking on forums
• Install arch manually (no archinstall) and thoroughly read the wiki to understand how your system is put together. Then install endevour, just from doing a manual arch install you should have the knowlage to fix like 90% of issues
• Learn the basics of systemD, will also help you on 99% of mainstream distros
• Keep your /home directory on a seperate partition, useful for doing a system rescue and for distrohopping

For me at least it is 100% a hobby. Sure when I'm actually working I'm either running plasma or riverwm basically stock, but it's genuinly really fun to see how "hollywood hacker" based I can get my desktop to look. It also helps me learn more about interacting with the inner workings of linux since I like to modify things myself instead of using other peoples dots. I even made a shitty terminal application launcher using pure fish cause I wanted to see if I could, and it taught me a ton about .desktop files and binary locations and flags. That information I now use daily building my own applications

Personally go: Flatpak (I like easily controlling an apps premissions) -> flatpak version is broken... Try system package -> distrobox -> compiling -> appimage -> not installing a package

Distrobox/containerd is so nice since a lot of the niche tools I use require Debian or Ubuntu dependency versions, but I'd be lying if I said everything "just works"

Breaking news: Xenia lost her glasses, asks local lesbians for help

Oh wow did now expect a year and half old post to still be receiving comments LOL

Thank you for the input and I have already come a very long way in the hobby and this question almost seems silly now

I mean thats the thing with any word. If someone tells you their uncomfortable with the useage of it ill either stop using that word around them or remove myself from the conversarion. However I don't think its right to ban a word completely that has evolved into a simple meaning of "looks over or at the cost of preformance"

Well with how often they use the word freely themselves, I'd assume they like the word. But I did ask and yes they like the word, and were very confused why I needed to ask LMAO

Reading through your responses it seems you really dont give a fuck about actually having discussion. Your view is right and everyone else is wrong, because of the simple fact "racism bad"

Theres no reason to ever redirect a racist phrase into something positive and completely seperated from its racist past, dispite the community at large already doing that. Words cannot change or evolve, and any word with even an inkling of negativity should be banned from ever being spoken (/s). I specifically called out that rice can be used in a racist and as a borderline slur, but that the modern useage of the word is painfully obviously removed from that connotation: considering the massive amount of people under this post also claiming they have never used, or even knew, the word could at all relate to degrading asians.

Oh and since you've responded often rejecting opinions just because "its a white person claiming its not racist" let me ask you, how many Japanese people (since the old meaning of the word was specifically targeted at the japanese) do you know take genuine offence to the word? Because funnily enough my Japanese friends in the car scene love calling things riced out

Calling the term "rice" in connection to focusing on aesthetics over preformance racist just seems insane to me. There are objectly racist uses of the word rice to harm Asians. However when 99% of the community never even correlated this useage of the word to anything derogatory twords asians, and even use it positivly when someone genuinely likes JDM or overbuilt cars, the word stops being racist

You cant claim racist undertones to a word when people don't corelate that word whatsoever to anything derogatory twords Asians. The modern use of the word spoke about a car that looked like a racecar but didn't have the preformance of one, making it "ugly", and then branched to become a positive term when talking about putting lots of efforts into the aesthetic of something

The evolution of the word is not a moral failing but a redirection from a derogatory borderline slur to a word that captures the idea of "looks over preformance"

Not sure what your exact requirements are, but these three should work great as simple upload and share embed link type servers :0

Lychee: My personal choice even for my entire photo library since I just like things to be simple

Pellicola: Self discribed as "Pastebin for your photos"

Media Goblin: Lets you view more then just photos, might replace my lychee for non-photography use

Cant say since I fucking hate milk lol. The staff did have meal suppliment drinks on hand for us. But after the initial not dying of an eating disorder calories wernt the importaint part, it was getting us to be able to eat "fear" foods without a breakdown. We had actual nutritionists there that actually broke down and taught us how food reacts in your body and actual science of needing energy from food

I loved the staff there and my group but unfortunately the staff was temporary due to covid. I learn from a friend the place went back too being "therapist bullies you for being mentally ill and then your released being more scared of sugar" :'(

Recovered anorexic who did inpatient: 100% + your body will straight up reject food at a certain point. The only way to recover is literally to force feed yourself even if you throw it up, you basically reteach your body how much it needs to consume

Hey so the thing is like 99% of what people use the internet for can be self hosted (including AI), meaning we already have the means to it. Gen AI is also pretty fucking useless outside of a chat bot

Also if you need facts on something you can, yknow, do what ypur supposed to do and check sources, authors, institutions, backgrounds of the funding, etc? These are things were supposed to be doing anyway for critical information and AI doesn't change that into "welp guess everythings fake news." People were lying on the internet long before AI

Related to the anime girl: Shelter by Porter Robinson and A1 pictures is such a good fucking music video and his music also just generally hits too

Anything 8th gen or newer is going to run everything you need and then some. Ive seen people using that mini-pc as a full gigabit router even!

The previous comment talking about price to preformance of mini PCs is somewhat correct if were talking anout buying new, but absolutly wrong about buying used/refurbed. Regular PCs are widly more popular meaning they hold onto their price better. For selfhosting a used/refurbed mini-pc is probably the best form factor you can get when starting out

Hospitals are only required to give you life saving medical attention, nothing more, which I already referenced twice. And your not simply allowed to go "thanks for putting my arm back on, bye!" If you refuse to tell the hospital who you are after the fact they can and will call the police since your attempting fraud (refusing to pay), if you provide a false ID (name and address etc) then whoever is handling the billing will call the police for fraud

Write POSIX scripts for portability*, maintainability doesn't depend much on the shell

POSIX for the system, Fish for the interaction is how I like my OS :3

hospitals in america are required to provide care in emergencies

Yes thats why I stated anything further then life saving procedures

Your not getting ICE called

While not called, ICE has arrested/deported hospital patients

you're not required to privide an ID

Yes you are? At the very least you must provide contact information and who you are. Hospitals are looking to make money off of you lol, not paying is a crime

And when I slammed into a mountainside in my car the hospital I stayed at was very pissed I couldn't remember my phone number (I just got a new one) and ran an entire background check on me

The only thing hospitals aren't gonna do is share your medical information with 3rd parties due to HIPPA, they themselves are still gonna collect it tho
