I think we both agree that there are locations and states where it does truly matter. I think where I'd disagree is that it's not applicable for every state. Sometimes it's already decided on where you live. It's better not to shame third party voters in situations like that. The only way to get a third party one day is by starting in locations like that. Though coming from a situation like that, I also understand it's a less stressful election than one that you have a chance of winning. Just not worth shaming others who don't have the option of winning and vote third party for president for their conscious. Still voting blue for everything else though.

The same reality that thinking voting for Biden in a rural deep conservative state is going to swing the vote. You can convince every person in the cities to vote democratic and still lose to the country side that state. Voting doesn't work the same for every state, don't shame people for voting their conscious. It's always okay to shame voting for Trump, but don't shame people for voting third party.

It's a trap and not worth it. I'm currently 72TB deep and the rabbit hole does not stop. You buy one drive and the next thing you know you're trying to convince your wife to keep a server rack in the living room. One 4TB drive is a slippery slope my friend. Send help.

Look, at some point the democratic party can take some damn responsibility for running a candidate that has been losing to generic democrats in recent polling. Instead of blaming the voter for voting third party, blame the party for not letting us choose anyone else. If Biden loses, it will be soely the fault of him and the party, not the voter. It's definitely a better option than the other primary party, but you can only run on the platform "we're not them" for so long. No shame in voting for third party and your conscious.

Thank God I'm not the only one, I have not been able to access archive.is in a long time. I get stuck in a loop on their captcha. Disabled AdGuard, disabled Ublock, nothing.

I think the man is asking for a DBAN 7 pass

Pretty common in tech layoffs altogether. Been through several waves over the years and typically the CEO goes "we don't need this team, what do they do anyways?" before firing them and finding out exactly what that team did. I've always told coworkers to tell them hell no.

It's the best way to think about it because if you're always doing the calculation in your head you still always think in Fahrenheit first. Just get the feeling for Celcius instead of trying to shoehorn a worse system in (as a user of said worse system myself).

Glad someone mentioned their anti-piracy and, in turn, anti-consumer practices. Metallica makes great music, but fights like hell for their music rights and money suing pirates and platforms. I prefered Iron Maiden's approach. Instead of suing pirates, there was a time when they set up live concerts in areas where their music was pirated to make money on the live performance. Different ways of interacting with an audience I guess.

The only thing I still like Fahrenheit for is temperature. There's a wider range for the human livable temperature, so you get more persision. For everything else metric all the way.

And yes, it's 100% my American brain can't figure it out in Celcius no matter how hard I try lmao. 10's are chill, 20's are nice, 30's sind heiß. But in the end, I end up thinking Fahrenheit and going from there every time.

On Google Images in your search you can click "Tools", "Color", then select "Transparent" to automatically filter these 😉

I think more than anything, this has shown the insecurity of ActivityPub for me. The whole point of federation is to get everyone on a decentralized platform that is aimed at 'copying' data. But there's no reason that data needs to be unencrypted in plaintext. We should theoretically be very open to wanting to federate with a large new community, but the issue lies with ActivityPub. Because we can't trust ActivityPub, we can't trust Meta. So are we implying that we imperially trust the services we currently use? I think this should be opening a conversation about ActivityPub security, not 'how quickly can we defederate from Meta to avoid the security issues', we should be looking at options for resolving those security issues. End to end encryption is in absolute must. We should want to add and federate more users into the ecosystem without fear of where they're data is coming from and where our is going to. So I'm not 'for' federation of Threads, I'm against defederation for 'security purposes' when everything is already so insecure. Fix the root problem, not these work around solutions.
