you can’t sign away consumer rights in a EULA… they might try and out them in there, but if it were law then they wouldn’t be able to enforce it

also true, but as other have said, mississippi doesn’t really get snow so given the massive difference between them and vic, i don’t think snow is really a particularly big contributor

from existing in a car in the US on a few occasions and living in australia i’d wager a HUGE amount of the difference is attitude… holy SHIT do yall speed like crazy! 15-20mph over the limit just seems to be standard… 15kph over the limit here in aus you literally watch them pass every other car and call them a dickhead - and they’ll almost certainly get a speeding fine

over COVID, the company i worked for did the best possible thing: they called an all hands and said they didn’t want to let anyone go, but would likely need to unless everyone took a voluntary 20% pay cut for a bit… they expressed that not everyone is in the position to do that, and if you can’t you shouldn’t feel bad… executives and leadership making the decision took a 40% pay cut for the same period, and any profit that the company made went to reimburse people’s salaries in proportion to the amount they lost. because they were honest, and sacrificed more themselves the buy in was something like 95%, they didn’t have to fire anyone, and we ended up getting about half of it back…

i’d consider that all a good thing, but i can also see how it’s more work

they’re supposed to be stateless because it’s easier to manage, upgrade, etc… if you don’t want that, you can just use load/save/commit (or import/export: can’t remember off the top of my head which is which) and ignore volumes: it amounts to the same thing… there’s also buildpack rebase so you can swap out the base container and keep your top level changes for quick version upgrades that are super simple to roll back

misconfiguration here i think is a dangerous way to phrase it… it implies that there is a secure way to run jellyfin on its own. jellyfin, by itself, should never be exposed to the www. it is, no matter the configuration, insecure. to run jellyfin on the www you must put a VPN or other reverse proxy with auth over the top of it

swiftfin is mostly there but doesn’t support media segments, which is a deal breaker for me

really unfortunate since jellyfin media segments is a much better implementation of the concept than plex

i’m watching the swiftfin issue for when it gets added and i’ll be all over compiling and testing it

you can use commit, save/load, import/export for the same thing as VM snapshots

It’s not about willingness. We’ve seen what people are willing to do.

having worked in government, it takes sometimes years to even do minor things… most people are “willing” in that they’ll spend a few weekends… few people are willing to spend years of their life for a result that’s “well i guess that’s better than nothing”

people are willing as long as they see quick results otherwise they get bored and move on to another cause…

we can see exactly this all over the fediverse: people up in arms and then when some minor court victory happens or some report gets issued everyone is up in arms that we didn’t move straight to arresting people… i’m not saying that there doesn’t need to be some kind of emergency intervention right now to combat the extralegal shit that’s happening, but it shows that if results aren’t immediate, people kinda just argue that a step in the process isn’t good enough

government should never achieve quick results because quick results means courts and citizens can’t keep up and push back… slow government is a feature (though stalled government as the US seems to have most of the time is certainly not)

process and precedent help to patch the holes so these things don’t happen again

… that URL slug is quite a thing

Democracy has a problem that nobody actually wants to serve… I do a lot of work with community orgs and it’s exactly the same: plenty of people “want to help” but when it comes to committee/board elections nobody is willing to step up

I’d wager the exact same is true for the various elected police positions in the US, and to a similar degree politics… so you’re just left with sham elections among people that nobody actually wants

Australia

• for non-urgent regular things book with my GP in an app (pretty sure that’s the case for most GPs too). usually an appointment within a few days; sometimes he’s booked out for a couple of weeks, but if i don’t feel like waiting i can book anywhere else. when i go to my appointment, tests etc are all free. i go to a private clinic so i pay $75AUD (~$50USD) and the govt reimburses me $45 of that - public clinics are free but i go to a speciality clinic
• for non-urgent sick things (or anything really - scripts etc too; i just use it when i don’t want to go to my GP) we have home doctor service: you book in an app and a doctor will come to your house the same day - free
• for specialists the waiting period can depend on what it is, but i have had a 3mo wait for a specialist before :(… usually you go to your GP, get a referral, see a specialist, then perhaps have surgery if necessary. it can be a months long wait for surgeries which is not great, buuuuut it’s also great to go in for day surgery in the morning, and just leave later that day without paying a cent
• for emergency, unfortunately you can be waiting for a few hours… they triage you so i’m sure if it’s a real issue you wouldn’t keep you waiting but for things like potentially broken bones you can be waiting for up to 3hr… it’s all free
• for ambulance it differs per state but in my state (victoria) they aren’t - it’s ~$1400 for an emergency trip. you can also buy ambulance membership for $53/y and it’s free

pretty much anything where i’ve talked about costs or free you give them your medicare (federal health system for everyone - not just low income etc) details and they bill the govt a set amount for time and materials used. GP clinics etc store it on file so sometimes you can just walk out without talking to anyone

and on top of that, 5G afaik is specifically made so that if you need more density, you can turn down the cell power and install more cell sites rather than take more spectrum

it was designed for venues like sports stadiums so you could keep installing more and more cell towers inside stadiums etc to accommodate huge crowds

imo there’s VERY little difference to a lot of tailwind and style=“…”. you gain a few minor abstractions, but you lose so much

in australia we have (limited) free mental health services (i wanna say 8 free sessions with a therapist?)… this still holds true

it’s not only about money

or a sushi train, tapas

i don’t understand how companies don’t just… provide milk tbh… milk, cheap coffee and tea… it’s such an incredibly cheap way to make people feel slightly less like garbage

existing copyright law covers exactly this. if you were to do the same, it would also not be fair use or transformative

also weirdly significantly increasing your fiber intake in a short time (going from 0 to 30g - 100% RDI - of psyllium husk for example) can actually cause diarrhoea

and if you go from 0 to 100% RDI instantly you get constant diarrhoea

fibre really covers the full spectrum of brown shades
