  • Why are tech company's so interested in my boring ass data?

    Jump

  • Cool. Now I can subtly influence you to pay for your free use MILF porn. Or use MILF models in your ads to make you more likely to buy shit.

    Even if you don't think you can be influenced by that stuff it still likely to change your behaviour just enough, even just 5% more spending which makes it worthwhile to them.

    But honestly your data barely matters on its own. But once it's merged with everyone else's....that's when it's valuable.

  • Is RAID still needed?

    Jump

  • Maybe maybe MAYBE for a prosumer desktop situation it's less necessary than it used to be. But it's absolutely still needed, your friend is dumb and reckless with their data.

    Drives fail all the time, not just sectors.

  • To those with 2+ monitors on your machine: What's your use case, and how much does it actually boost your productivity?

    Jump

  • Two and a half monitors here. Two connected to my desktop (one normal one vertical) and my laptop below them.

    My laptop is for Teams calls, and the occasional reference page or video, but is mostly ignored until I need it. The main large monitor for editors and email. The vertical one for references and notes.

    I would love a third monitor for the desktop but my desk is too narrow for that to be realistic.

  • Movie industry demands US law requiring ISPs to block piracy websites

    Jump

  • Cool. Now all of Google Drive is blocked because one guy hosted a movie there for a few days.

  • What's the most interesting traditional or formal politeness behaviour or table manners in your culture? Or for any service personnel, in your restaurant?

    Jump

  • Is it supposed to be salted? Is there already enough salt for how that dish is supposed to be? How dare you assume you know better than the chef!!

  • Can someone demystify computer Ports for me? Please? Blocking, unblocking, opening, allowing, VPNs and their effect, what ports are and what they do, step by step, when you have to interact with them?

    Jump

  • To take this further, if the office mailroom is the router, opening a port is like telling them "we just hired Jeff, so accept mail with ATTN Jeff" and closing a port is like "we just fired Sam, burn all mail addressed to Sam".

  • Why stand in line to board an airplane?

    Jump

  • I rarely sit when waiting for a plane (at least not for maybe an hour before). I'm about to sit for hours, so I don't want to start now.

  • I don't enjoy it when people compliment me. Why could it be?

    Jump

  • I wonder if it has to do with the specific traits they are commenting on. Do you value being different? Maybe compliments make you feel like you're fitting in and insults tell you that you're your own person.

    Anyway, fuck you, have a nice day asshole :)

  • Do you believe in Aliens?

    Jump

  • In general, yes. In the expanse of space there must be life somewhere.

    For fun I let myself believe they've visited earth, and that at least some UFOs were alien, but that's more of a fun "what if..." belief than anything and it doesn't impact anything beyond my imagination.

  • Honestly though, in a five star restaurant you don't modify your food**. Trust the chef to make something good.

    **Except for allergies or ARFID or something

  • What can you expect? You presupposed the food wasn't salty enough, do you'd CLEARLY be a terrible employee. Isnt it obvious!

  • Release v4.6.0: The end · pivpn/pivpn · GitHub

    Jump

  • How long are folks planning to wait before migrating to something new? I suspect this is still safe for at least a few months before things fall out of date, right?

    Or I guess it allows wire guard to update freely so it's probably safe until something specifically breaks.

  • Don't salt your food before tasting it, it's insulting to the chef/cook since it looks like you don't trust their cooking.

    There's a popular story of someone being taken to a restaurant for an interview with their potential boss and the candidate being rejected because they salted their food before tasting it. The interviewer took it to mean the candidate wasn't trusting, was opinionated, and didn't respect the food or the chef and they didn't get the job.

  • Is it more respectful to use more current photos of people who have died? Or is it better to use photos from their "prime"?

    Jump

  • We had this challenge with my grandmother. I had some really memorable moments with her late in her life, but she looked a lot sicker and run down in any pictures from that time, but that's how I remember her (at least that's part of how I remember her). My mom didn't want to share as many pictures from that phase of her mom's life though because she remembered her younger and more active, so it made putting a memories collage together complicated. Especially since all the early pictures were still in albums spread across the country with her children.

    Personally I want people to use pictures of me that let them remember me the best. Not the best of me, but the best of our relationship, even if that's me as an ugly old fart.

  • Vatican calls gender fluidity and surrogacy threats to human dignity

    Jump

  • That's amazing, I'm glad your coworker was able to find someone and get to be a parent.

    I'm sorry if I came across as advocating against surrogacy. I don't nearly know enough to have that strong of an opinion on it in either direction. All I wanted to get across was that making sure there's no coercion is hard. Not impossible, but hard. There were some really sweeping statements under this post that felt like they were oversimplifications and I wanted to consider the nuance.

  • Vatican calls gender fluidity and surrogacy threats to human dignity

    Jump

  • Separate from any discussion about surrogacy, that's fucked and our adoption system should be way more accepting of gay couples than it is. There's no reason it should be so hard.

  • Vatican calls gender fluidity and surrogacy threats to human dignity

    Jump

  • Absolutely! And more to cover other expenses like maternity clothing, any comfort items to manage the pregnancy, additional dietary needs, and probably some more to help account for how traumatic a pregnancy can be and the body changes it causes.

    I'm absolutely not advocating that a surrogate shouldn't get paid. Just that it's hard to separate payment from coercion in even the best situations.

  • Vatican calls gender fluidity and surrogacy threats to human dignity

    Jump

  • Im not sure I can be so confident just because the surrogate knows the couple. If anything that would make me more worried about coercion. That could easily add MORE pressure for a surrogate to take on the pregnancy if that surrogate knows how important it is to the couple.
