While actions speak louder than words, gatekeeping the term ally will do us very dirty. The easiest way to turn someone away from a good cause, is focusing on the individual instead of the system and setting high standards.
"How can you be against climate change and still drive that big car?"
"You are against racism? How many black friends do you have?"
Being an ally is about your intention to accept and support queer people around you. A Billion of them will change the world in ways a ten thousand activists never could.
I recently read that the age expectancy gap is just about 10 months (instead of multiple years) when accounting for lifestyle (drinking, smoking, diet...).
So not being toxic and self destructive is almost the whole deal, (which I guess is also true for being trans)
WTF a dishwasher is much better than a washing machine. Unload it whenever you want, no sorting colors, even really baked in stuff gets dealt with.
If your dishwasher sucks, there's probably something wrong with it, or the way you use it. (Look up technology connections for a comprehensive guide on how to use your dishwasher)
No one did anything to deserve a growing up safely, being healthy, inheriting money, having white skin or even growing up in a certain nation. No one starts from zero, and it's just an obvious lie if you say otherwise.
We as a society, should work on making these differences less relevant, when it comes to success and life satisfaction, wheather that's through public education, social benefits or reducing racism and prejudice.
I agree. Privilege definitely exist, but it's kind of a burned word.
If you call someone privileged, you've made sure, that the person gets defensive and will not think about in any way.
I think it's more accurate to speak of resources. Everyone has some of them, but other people don't. Inherited money, having good relationships to your parents, having a stable upbringing, living in a good neighborhood and not being homeless, being perceived as competent, being physically or mentally healthy, are all valuable resources and everyone should try to see what resources they benefit from, where others can't. Sadly prejudice and racism/sexism/... exists, so your skin color is also a resource, making it easier to be perceived as trustworthy/competent/... which is a huge benefit.
I really appreciate this perspective (it's something I hadn’t considered before)
Standing up for equal rights doesn’t mean we need to glorify or unconditionally defend a group, no matter who they are. For example, opposing police racism doesn’t require me to justify the actions of every Black criminal or attribute every single crime solely to systemic factors. (Though, of course, they often play a significant role.)
People are people. We all have the best and worst human traits somewhere inside of us, and we deserve human rights not despite of that, but because of that.
Thank you for your super detailed response. That's a lot of information 😅 Talking about codecs is only applicable to torrenting, right? (I've never seen a streaming site talk about the codecs they use).
I don't really mind paying a bit (and hopefully supporting the creation of new media), but it's unbelievable that Disney+ butchers a lot of the most memorable Pixar scenes, with terrible compression. (When a lot of snow, confetti or other particles are on screen).
PS: I live in the EU, so I'm not signing away my right to live by subscribing to a streaming service. WTF is going on on the other side of the atlantic. I can't even believe what a capitalist nightmare some call the United States of America.

As an artist I'm very happy to see my work archived in there. Any suggestions where I can submit my music directly to archives.

Well that's more than enough to feel major effects on your mental health

That's an even better deal (◕દ◕) Sign me up
How did it taste?
Equal rights and no stigma = more confident (and maybe even dommy) tgirls

Thanks for this very detailed description. Setting this up sounds a bit much to me, but still interesting
Thanks for the recommendation. What hardware are you running docker on?
Google payed billions in fines for making chrome default on android and now has to ask which browser you want when you setup a device.
Microsoft on the other hand actively hinders the installation of other browsers. This is a huge lawsuit just waiting there.
I actually spoke with some who said talking about problems specific to men, is somehow anti feminist, because it puts men into a victim role.
Wow. This is another level of doomscrolling. Very educational though
Please DM me, I need to know
Old Laptop actually sounds interesting to me, very nice form factor for my "inside the bookshelf" approach, but probably a lot of tinkering.
How do thin clients compare to a pi 4? I've heard most of them are worse in computing power and efficiency in comparison to the Pi.
Thanks for your detailed response. I thought about an old office PC, but I guess they're not even close to <10W idle.
Another quick newbie question: What do you need PCI Slots for? Many SATA ports for Drives makes sense to me, but why PCI
