Maybe it’s time to disengage from Lemmy if it’s impacting your mental health so much. Take care, comrade.

I’m basically okay with that? The average age where people first have sex has been rising, but it’s still less than 18.

It’s partially because she doesn’t feel that she has the right to tell people how to live their lives. She’s a vegetarian mostly for environmental reasons, rather than for animal rights.

She’s also conflict averse, and the “individual choice” philosophy does tend to de-escalate conversations with meat eaters, who are often hostile to vegetarians.

The Palestinian genocide is produced by the policies of an American who has been an academic for 40 years? 🤔

Garber said that “a great deal” of what had initially been labeled antisemitism was ultimately anti-Israeli bias, which he called “insidious and maybe more corrosive of University life.”

The Israeli government deliberately confounds anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish sentiments. They do it to make criticizing their actions more difficult, but ultimately they put Jewish safety at risk because all Jews become targets, regardless of whether they support Zionism or not. 😞

I was visiting the head office of a California-based company that I worked for, and my colleagues (mostly left-leaning) were moaning about a proposal to make it illegal to hit children. After 15 minutes I couldn’t keep my mouth shut and said, “I think a society should protect those least able to protect themselves.” There was a lot of backpedaling, but also a few people explaining how it was totally necessary that they hit their children for reasons.

I didn’t have children at the time, but my step-daughter (now 20) and son (now 17) were never punished with violence, so it is possible for sure.

Now, my ancestors were horse thieves, and not particularly religious.

I mean, some people think that pineapple on pizza is morally wrong. 😉

My wife, who is a vegetarian, doesn’t consider eating meat immoral. She thinks that it is a personal decision. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It matters if you consider the suffering of non-human animals important.

I’m sure the responses to “Is taxation theft?” would not improve the picture. 😉

implicit in these questions is that the death penalty is being applied to very bad people who totally deserve to die and burn in hell, and that suicide is when good people reject God’s gift of life. So they are not the same for religious people at least. 😉

The current right wing thinking in the USA is that Europe only cares about renewables since it has no fossil fuels. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The right wing in America kept trying to pass anti-abortion laws for decades even though they were obviously unconstitutional, and here we are…

Kubernetes storage is the reason I was looking at Minio in the past.

Not the death panels I was expecting, but somehow still unsurprising.

As a programmer I mostly hate AI written software.

But I do think it’s great that non-programmers can do a lot of things that they never could before.

There’s a bit about those on the Wikipedia:

There used to be restrictions on a hostname.

These had to start with and end with a letter or number, and have only letters, numbers, or a dash. (I heard that originally hostnames had to start with a letter, but 3M got that changed. This might be an urban legend.)

That’s a common restriction for a name still.

Things get funky when you want non-ASCII names - like if you want a cyrillic or Greek name - as registries often limit the allowed characters to limit “isomorphic attacks”. That’s where you use symbols that look the same to trick people into thinking they’re going to another site, like using a 0 instead of an O, or a l instead of an I.

None of this will apply to the XYZ domains that give you a number.

One other issue that might impact you is if you try to connect using only a numeric name. Some tools will interpret such a name as an IPv4 address. Easily solved by using the full name, but weird and confusing if it happens to you unexpectedly. 😅

I believe that the prosecution cannot call witnesses not on the list, but that the defense has more leeway?
