some right-wingers are not comfortable with lemmy funder being openly communists

You don’t have to be a right winger to be uncomfortable with tankies

Isn’t face recognition just going to be inherently rly less reliable on darker skinned people? Their features would certainly have less contrast on darker skin, no?

I wouldn’t be on this subreddit if I didn’t know that.

But I would also buy a lot more media if I could buy it in the way I want

I would need even more. Let me buy it digitally. Not streamed, not with some draconian DRM. Just let me buy the MKV files straight from HBO, and I won’t pirate them.

They have to be aware of how easy it is to rip a blu-ray, yet those are still for sale. So let’s just skip the middleman and give me legal remuxes.

Drop was awesome for custom keyboards, cool audiophile shit, and just random bespoke cool shit

So absolutely no overlap with Corsair. I don’t like this at all.

You misunderstood. I’m not talking about scaling the DB horizontally, I’m talking about scaling the application using the DB horizontally.

The fucked up part isn’t that AI work is replacing human work, it’s that we’re at a place as a society where this is a problem.

More automation and less humans working should be a good thing, not something to fear.

Meh, I pay for YouTube Premium since it’s included in YouTube Music, and I feel good knowing that creators I watch get more from me than they would if I enabled ads just on their channels.

Please teach me how to configure my containers so SQLite can scale horizontally.

If you don’t care about persistence, why are you even using a DB in the first place?

I’m a devops engineer, so I understand Linux well. I actually used exclusively Linux all throughout university.

Linux works just as good as windows for 98% of my uses cases. And for the 2% that it doesnt, I can probably figure out how to get it to work or an alternative.

But honestly, I usually just don’t want to anymore. After working 8 hours, I’m very seldom in the mood to do more debugging, so I switch to Windows more and more frequently.

If this is my experience as someone who understands it, most normies will just fuck off the moment the first program they want to run doesn’t.

In a world of containers and stateless applications, fuck SQLite.

I’m on Kubernetes with ArgoCD gitops.

I use sealedsecrets, so all my secrets are in git encrypted. The encryption key is in my keepass vault.

If you set up a torrent for them, I’ll be happy to perma-seed them from my gigabit dedicated server

I swear sometimes it feels like capitalism is the boogeyman behind everything with some people.

This has nothing to do with late stage capitalism and everything to do with how cheap compute is becoming. Fact is that it’s just much more convenient to have everything in a managed cloud. You don’t need to manage your own servers, take care of maintenance, upgrades, etc. This removes a fuckton of overhead from your organization.

I’ve been part of on prem to cloud transitions at 3 different companies, and I saw the benefits firsthand. You can replace entire departments, and the contract your signing means you’re protected against pretty much any fuckup from the provider’s side.

Not to mention, I guarantee Microsoft’s cloud is more secure than 99.9% of the server rooms it replaced.

One of these days, I plan to build up a neat blog with some static site generator like Nikola. Or maybe host documentation about everything I do with bookstack or wiki.js.

For now, it just redirects to a rickroll.

What I meant was that during my debating years here in Canada, I didn’t see that much “stage performances” or “rhetorical tricks.”

I did 4 years of Canadian National Debate Format and 3 years of British Parliamentary debate, and is was overall a very pleasant experience.

It’s the wrong use of a meme template

It’s a low effort meme in a general linux community

I did debate club in highschool and early college, but it was parliamentary style debate. I didn’t observe that much bullshit, so I’m guessing the US debate style is different

Ubuntu ~2005/2006. I was introduced to Linux by my friend’s older brother in highschool, then proceeded to nuke the windows install on my parents’ PC.

That’s when they decided to buy me a laptop, which I dualbooted ubuntu on. Now almost two decades later, I’m a devops engineer working professionally with Linux
