  • What would be a more privacy respecting service instead of Amazon?

    Jump

  • For most of the US, true. Though I think it's fuzzier if you work it into a commute or other errands. I've moved a lot and favor places that have grocery stores, libraries, parks, etc within walking distance. Get groceries and a brisk walk. Win win.

  • Open Food Facts 2025 Roadmap

  • Open Prices is something that's crossed my mind many times. Excited to see it exists and is associated with open food facts.

  • This happened to me at least 3 times.

  • Stumbled across a game that teaches the command line as you play it. Seems like a good place to share https://gitlab.com/slackermedia/bashcrawl

    personally, writing and saving simple scripts - IE project based learning - is how i got time in the saddle.

  • The content is free but the cost is not...

    Jump

  • Understandable. FWIW members (15 USD/month at this time) get a discount and the option to use one of the credits you get each month. So Dune can be had for 14.99. I get the pricey books with credits, others I use the discount for. It's a bit odd and I don't love memberships, but I do want to support ownership models where they still exist.

    If you share access with friends and family using a self-hosted audiobook server then the value really sky-rockets.

  • instead of giving money to a Bezos/Amazon owned service, you can support services like libro.fm that let you download/own the audiobook mp3 outright.

  • the subliminal messaging

  • What nonsense? Look it up in a thesaurus.

    Yes, people want skilled professionals. Who says they shouldn't? They should also care about a system that favors a dominant class largely because of historic access to (stolen) capital. After all, that would reduce competition and competency.

    What's being implied by bringing up "merit" as antithetical to DEI is that you can't trust people outside of the dominant class to do the work competently. If that were the case, the problem is not DEI, it's upstream: fair access to education and opportunities, but I don't hear DEI opponents crying about that.

  • It shouldn't be. Unfortunately, afaik, no lawsuits have been settled yet. Seems like Anderson v. Stability Ai is the one to watch with regard to OP.

  • ‘Net zero hero’ myth unfairly shifts burden of solving climate crisis on to individuals, study finds

  • If the regulators are made up of selfish individuals who are captured by industry (lobbyists, campaign contributions, etc) then what? Please don't say elect new officials, unless you have a solution to misinformation and the massive financing necessary to get elected.

    It seems we're stuck and we're all just waiting for the selfish person to do the right thing. What if the selfish person is us? Perhaps the best way to navigate an unjust system is to participate as little as possible. And with that extra time we can organize and apply political pressure.

  • Do you encrypt your drives and why or why not?

    Jump

  • Yes. I encrypt because theft. I know PopOS and Mint make it 1-click ez. ...unless of course you want home and root on a separate drives. That scales difficulty real fast. There's plenty of tutorials, and I managed, but I had to patch together different ones to get a basic setup-- Never mind understanding exactly what I did and repeating it (the latest challenge I've been dragging my feet on). I do hope this is an area that sees more development in the near future.
