It’s making fun of the popularity of pumkin spice stuff in certain demographics.

That’s your take reading a post talking explicitly about how a person won’t be outraged about something without actually taking into consideration how the people who the issues is about feel or act?

Maybe you should stop for a moment, think over what you’ve said and read, and consider that many of these discrimated groups can actually think for ourselves and doesn’t need to be told what to be outraged over?

That’s the spirit 🤣 The challenge is building a team with both technical and artistic know-how to build something like this.

I mean if you’re going fast enough with a pointy train, you could chop up people pretty easy. You just need to make sure that each person is a tire width apart to make sure the wheels don’t lose traction. Assuming a person is roughly half a metre across and a tire is 75cm in diameter, we get 1.25m per person, so a track of 1250km for a million people. Not very long at all.

Let’s also start removing phrases with white, yellow and brown as those are used to refer to people’s skin colour as well.

The only reason I would even contemplate not using blacklist or white washing is if an actual person of that skin colour says that it is not okay for them, or there’s an actual consensus among people of that community that it isn’t acceptable.

I can tell you as a person with brown skin, with brownie or whatever used as a derogatory name, almost everyone I know isn’t even concerned with terms like brown out or brown note.

Online outrages or articles aren’t an accurate depiction of reality.

Even more dangerously, shit like this drives outrage and diverts attention from actual, real issues faced by people of different races. Like not having stuff to eat or indoor plumbing or mental health infrastructure or access to health care.

It would be cool if each buyer has a unique hash and elements of the art are AI generated (like the background or texture) using some chaotic process with the hash as the seed, so that everyone gets a unique version. I would pay maybe a couple of bucks for something like that.

You see later that she was a blood purist and tortured only those who she thought of as blood traitors or whatever. That’s par on course with people who sided with voldemort. After the quidditch world cup the death eaters tried to torture a muggle family, including the children I think.

That isn’t the fault of the language though. It does what it was designed to well. Maybe it is I’ll suited to achieve things it wasn’t designed to do?

I could absolutely write code to do data analytics with C and gnuplot, does that mean they’re the appropriate tools for doing that when pandas, SPSS, Julia or matlab exists? Probably not.

Ooof. I was so excited when I first saw the paper and realised how easy it was to make.

Try to not be reactive. Take appropriate action whenever needed but choose to act after a delay so that you aren’t responding impulsively. In my experience 90% of conversations that were problematic could have been avoided if either party chose to walk away or take a break.

Yast. I love zypper and opi but yast is super weird. Like if you want to do things that you can do with yast, you probably know how to do it on terminal.

Really? I find that css is pretty much the ugly part of html. Html is no worse than markdown or latex. If you just wrote plain HTML and were okay with how it rendered, you would have nicely structured code.

I mean semantic html seems like a pretty okay markup language.

Sure :)

Interesting. I have waydroid on my laptop and it has been pretty smooth. What’s the deal with the battery drain? On my laptop battery life is comparable between Linux and windows. Is it driver issue?

It’s a word play that many people find funny. It’s also a call back to something you might have done as a newbie when messing around that people find funny, like talking about that time you thought tried to wash okra after chopping or mixed coloured and white clothes in the laundry. A horrifying experience when it happens but something that you usually find funny later on in retrospect.

Apart from that sudo in Linux comes with enough warning labels to say that it should only be used when you know what you’re doing. Running unknown commands on terminal is dangerous, like trying to play with the stuff under the hood in a car. Both of these facts are abundantly made clear with big red warning signs in every single reputable source you look up for any popular distro.

That’s exactly the kind of people who run ml sadly.

Would book sales of a book you have written years ago be an ethical violation?

You aren’t accepting gifts or even making your public speaking or whatever contingent on book sales.

Even if someone did that, say a federal employee who wrote a novel on the side said I can come to a book signing only if you sell 2k books for it to be break even for me and did so during their off hours, what is illegal or unethical about it?

It is also not like you are abusing your power as a federal employee to get people to ask you to speak.

How usable is waydroid?
