went there and down-voted everything

Thanks for the citations!

What I was trying to say above is there’s a level of physical violence animals exercise and are used to that humans can never achieve. A super angry house cat would already make me not want to be around it and I am a relatively big dude.

Another example, I saw a video of a small monkey in India (I guess) removing the scalp of a human in a really fast attack (it will not hard to find the video). That for me is the problem with fighting an animal, even really small ones. They are too violent.

Humans aren’t physically violent enough to survive a much smaller creature (30-50kg), let alone fighting something just as violent but 10 times bigger.

I would really pay to watch that fight.

I agree with this. What would make people jump from an evil corporation abusing its users and creators to another evil corporation abusing its users and creators.

It s a good start ngl.

What about taking a different route altogether and not be greedy? what about charging a flat fee (your costs plus some profits to run the infrastructure like yearly or monthly). What about not being evil?

There is a huge business opportunity IMO to do just that. Have a store, charge a flat fee, add whatever percentage wire transfers take (1-3%). You make money, you out-compete everyone and you are the good guy.

I think there are better places to discuss what science says about fasting and how applicable all of that to Ramadan. Neither my comment nor OP question are about that so yeah. Peace.

I was having trial fasting (ramadan) days when I was a kid and another kid offered me some almonds, I ate them in a heartbeat and forgot entirely about the fasting. It was really early in the day. So yeah, healthy and delicious food gets me even when I am deeply committed to something.

“Polls show that 99.9% of people like to take polls”

That’s true. Scrapping is a gold mine for the people that don’t know. I worked for a place which crawls the internet and beyond (fetches some internal dumps we pay for). There is no chance a zip bomb would crash the workers as there are strict timeouts and smell tests (even if a does it will crash an ECS task at worst and we will be alerted to fix that within a short time). We were as honest as it gets though, following GDPR, honoring the robots file, no spiders or scanners allowed, only home page to extract some insights.

I am aware of some big name EU non-software companies very interested in keeping an eye on some key things that are only possible with scraping.

I remember the millionaire who wanted to prove that he could rebuild his wealth if he started from scratch again. He cheated a little bit because he used his friend apartment for free.

Fast forward, he gave up after a couple of months and understood what the rest of us knew for ages.

Wealthy people are delusional and no amount of reasoning will work with them.

You are not wrong. But there are things you can do to make a point. Make Reddit as a 2nd class citizen and drive people to lemmy, mastodon and the others. Like add posts with no comments, just relay bot, … Make it clear.

Same with GitHub, it’s mirror to my Gitea instance. You can see stuff but you have to move somewhere else to contribute and report issues. Not a terrible thing to use these proprietary services and yet make them 2nd class citizens.

I came here to say at least it’s not discord then I saw your comment. Yes, there s mattermost, matrix, IRC, … I am not installing Discord, I am not opening an account. I mean what s next? host your community in Skype?

I am curious why not docker? it s pretty convenient in my setup (docker compose + traefik). If I need to migrate it s really simple, if I am to nuke a service just bring it down and delete the path.

I give haircuts to myself and the shaving device I got recently was like 40-50 EUR and it s expected to last a couple years like the one before it.

My reasons for not going to the proper place is:

1. I am always on the move (I might not speak the language of the current country)
2. I am lazy and prefer to do things at home rather than arrange an appointment or go wait there
3. professionals make the haircut look way better but it will last for a couple days / couple showers

Mine looks plain, in the beginning they look even worse then you start getting it. The advice I would give others wanting to try that: dont shave too much so the small imperfections will not be too obvious.

My pleasure! These people have been doing volunteering work for more than 10 years and deserve a lot of love. They had some meal plans also. They are great people and they need a lot of support.

Louis part alone needs to be extracted out as a separate one. Interesting.

I see Lunduke and I pass. He said too many ragebaity ridiculous things that he discredited himself already.

Why the switch when you can have the steam deck? I am confused

Gave up on gym membership already. Switched to home workouts (check darebee website and youtube) I feel way better with this compared to the gym. You cant have noodle arms also, so get reasonable dumbbells to grow your arm muscles (they are effective and easy to store also)

It s 40min at most daily from home workouts so you need less mental energy to get to it (compared to: prepare backpack, go to gym, interact with people, go back). I am on the Avatar Upgrade program.

I add early morning walks and occasional hikes to spice things up.
