Not really.

1. Emission is uncontrollable, which is actually bad as central banks lose control over inflation
2. Crypto can be easily obscured and moved everywhere, which means bad actors could easily convert their crypto to, say, Monero and move it out without raising alarms
3. Deflationary crypto heavily disincentivizes any spending, bringing economy to a halt
4. You can’t reverse crypto transactions, which is often necessary

I think you should not be allowed to breed someone into existence when you have the date of their murder already in your calendar.

Well, that’s how we differ. All emotionally charged language aside, I’d rather see animals see some life than no life at all.

Besides, with the way you put it, this looks less and less like a genuine wish to unpack my views and more like an attempt to debate it.

I believe that we can and should make farming practices better, making a better life for these animals. And I think that, even with the views you have, you will agree it would at least be better than what we currently see.

Sure!

First off, it’s not that these animals would live otherwise. They can’t survive in the wild, the only reason they exist at all at this scale is because there is an economic incentive to keep them - namely, meat, eggs, milk etc. Would you rather have them live a short live or not even be born because their parents died in the wild?

Second, perfect is the enemy of the good. Most people won’t stop eating meat no matter what you tell them, so, regardless of your stance, a push for more ethical farming is beneficial.

A question: can you modify the site (edit its content etc.) once it’s published?

Because the uses for a never-changing site are quite limited.

What we know for certain is that plants don’t have centralized decision making place or a nervous system. Their reactions are autonomous on the level of specific tissues.

They don’t feel any pain, either. They can react to damage, but it’s just a mechanical automation.

Plants are not conscious.

At the very least, we can start by not putting them into terrible crammed conditions and not using the most brutal slaughter practices.

Doing all that doesn’t actually increase the price more than 30% - but this difference makes farmers go crazy doing all sorts of disgusting things.

Besides, a price bump could reduce the meat consumption somewhat.

Add that to the dangers of oligopolies. They can really just do whatever they want at this point.

yt-dlp is amazing, but not everyone likes to use CLI tools (and, looking down the thread, not everyone prefers native packets as they may cause dependency issues and need extra tools for permissions control).

Even in a geeky Linux space, many people just want to push a button in a nice interface and get what they want. This app provides just that.

Abandon elitism, embrace variety. And use the tools you prefer - after all, plenty of Linux video/music downloaders have yt-dlp under the hood, and I use it on a regular.

I feel like this debate over whether it’s fascism or not misses a big point:

It’s an oppressive nationalist state with practically unchecked presidential power. It is responsible for numerous war crimes. It instates hardline policies targeting everyday Americans. It puts people in detention camps. It is fueled by exceptionalism on all levels, from foreign policy to religion. And at the same time, it doesn’t provide for its people, cutting all forms of social support.

It also erodes democratic institutions in an attempt to cement itself, so that other powers couldn’t change course.

You can call it fascism. You can call it authoritarianism. What matters is that America is turned into an angry shithole hostile to both others and it’s own people. Isn’t that a reason good enough to stand strongly against it? Why do people wait for a “fascist” label, like it’s some sort of red cloth, and would it change much if tomorrow Trump would plead allegiance to Hitler?

Anna’s Archive is the world’s largest collection of pirated books, scientific papers and more. Recently they turned to pirating music as well, starting by dumping 86 million tracks from Spotify.

All of the scraped content is available in the form of BitTorrent shares, so you can always download parts of it and spread them further.

The OP wants a convenient way to access this collection and play music from it.

Ready to be killed, I guess

When you post from standard Lemmy interface and add a picture, it adds it as a link that may overwrite the URL you have entered. Annoying, but it is what it is.

Add a picture first, and then replace the URL with what you link to.

Most people don’t care as long as it’s not 100 GiB

The ease of installation, management, and removal is a higher priority for most. Hence, Flatpak is superior for an average Joe.

Doesn’t hurt to use native options if you like them.

No worries, answer anytime :)

Since LXC works on top of the Linux kernel, anything that works with it can be easily used as an image. For example, you can just throw any distribution .iso into it, and it will handle it as a container image. Proxmox does all the interim magic.

Say, you want to make a container with programs running on Debian. You take the regular Debian .iso, the one you use to install Debian on bare metal or VM, feed it to Proxmox and tell it to make an LXC container out of it. You specify various parameters (for example, RAM quotas) and boom, you got a Debian LXC container.

Then you operate this container as a regular Debian installation: you can SSH/VNC into it and go from there. After you’ve done setting everything up, you can just use it, or export it and use somewhere else as well.

Quickly checking eBay, they now cost around $120-150 for SATA and around $100-130 for SAS in the US

In my country I got used 10tb for $150. Don’t know situation in your place.
