That’s good old Canada.

It’s making fun of the popularity of pumkin spice stuff in certain demographics.

They have from some instances with questionable content but not many others without questionable content. The question is do you persecute someone because you think you would be badly affected if they commit a crime in the future, even though they haven’t so far and doesn’t seem to be on the path to either?

Why stop there, why not defedrate from all NSFW communities because they could post questionable content in the future?

Edit : /s

That’s not what the poster is talking about. Whether the piracy subreddit or the lemmy community, there are strict rules about sharing copyrighted content, asking for it or posting links to it. These communities are about discussing different technologies around BitTorrent, usenet or debrid and how to leverage them to share content.

All of the above can be used for perfectly legal reasons such as sharing Linux ISOs or public domain media.

If you use those to pirate copyrighted content that’s your decision.

Calling these communities illegal and blocking them is akin to schools not permitting students to use backpacks or lockers because they could be used to hide guns.

You’re missing the larger point. It isn’t about individuals.

If your parents and grandparents were from an ethnic/social/other group that did not have access to resources, then there’s less chance that you grow up in a household that values education or have resources like food, time with parents and caring adults, emotional support and, financial security and so on. These affect your academic success irrespective of how talented or smart you might be.

Providing better access to higher education for people from such groups is a way to make sure that their children don’t grow up in the same environment and the problem is solved over generations.

Such measures of equity are always stop gap measures to address problems until you find grass root level solutions. Right now say protected groups might be first Nations or African Americans. In the future that might change to immigrants from Ukraine or Honduras.

The revolutionary solution, not necessarily communist. Like Boston tea party and what followed

But you can reframe it. People don’t have equal mobility but everyone has an equal right to access a place, so you have stairs and ramps. You can’t make everything a ramp or stair to create equality.

I found Fair email to be more consistent than K9. I used both for 2 years or so before finally switching.

I did not know that. Though what you said by itself doesn’t imply causality. That hiring/firing was motivated by sleeping together.

The only use I’ve found for cloud printing is how it would identify all the printers on the uni network and allow me to print on them with no hassle compared to manually adding the printer with the correct driver and IP.

Your map made me think how interesting US would be if there were 4 major political parties. Maybe no one will win the presidential election 🤔

Agree. Uncountable infinities are much more mind blowing. It was an interesting journey realising first that everything like time and distance are continuous when learning math the then realising they’re not when learning physics.

Oh fuck you. I’m going to insert this in place of 20 in some formula and see people have breakdowns.

Geometric interpretation of integration is really fun, it’s the analytic interpretation that most people (and I) find harder to understand.

If you work in numerically solving integrals using computers, you realise that it’s all just adding tiny areas.

I finally understand what divergent integrals are intuitively when I encountered one while trying to do a calculation on a computer.

Incompleteness doesn’t come as a huge surprise when your learn math in an axiomatic way rather than computationally. For me the treacherous part is actually knowing whether something is unprovable because of incompleteness or because no one has found a proof yet.

I don’t know about inkscape but with GIMP I get the feeling that the devs are happy with how it is. Someone will probably will need to fork for a significant paradigm shift to happen

I would be happy to receive an invite :)

I am not a fan of closed source either. They’re planning to sell lifetime license of the whole suite around 150 USD. From reading the FAQ, it seems like they want to at least make the components open source.
