They really should have robbed him for $1 less.
It’s a bit ridiculous to me why you’d think that we’d be the last humans to exist. Habitable zones will keep existing after climate change kills 99% of the population. Even full-scale nuclear war will leave most dead, but not all.
The remainder will probably keep reproducing and survive. Even 0.001% of our current population would likely mean humanity would continue.
What else do you think would make humanity 100% extinct?
There is no other reason to do it like this in a Lemmy post other than you want to publicly discredit the devs somehow. This is quite obviously a mistake and not a way to harvest admin passwords. Just fixing it and not trying to stir up shit would have been the right thing to do.
OP managed to find the bug. He knows how to fix it. Obviously he’d know how to make an issue about it, and probably even know how to contribute his fix that he already made in the official way to the open source project.
You do not possess these skills so obviously you’re not the one who should make the issue.
Yet he decided to somehow create this public post highlighting something that could be sketchy to try to publicly discredit the devs. There is no other reason to do it like this.
Why make a Lemmy post about this and not just a GitHub issue?
What I mean with “you’re not the only one” is that you’ll be (probably easily) able to find people that are good for you. Didn’t mean to put light on the fact it’s a societal issue; might be, might not be, but it’s irrelevant. Just meant to say that enough good people are out there.
If you’re like what you say you are, “staying with people in the hopes they might change for the better”, what I’ve noticed in my time on Earth is that “people like you” actually do find these problematic people specifically and spend their time with them. You want to improve the world and that means the people within them, and so you think your time is well spent like this.
However, this is unfortunately almost totally wrong. Instead of achieving your goal, the problematic people just mostly stay like they are, and because of that all that happens is that you become miserable because you don’t see any improvement, and don’t have any meaningful relationships.
If I may suggest an alternative, what I’ve found is that you actually have to find people that are already mostly good and have a proven track record of improving themselves. These are mostly good people. They have no big problems and no toxic behaviors. I assume you are such a person. So in other words, you have to find someone like you. If you do that, you can both improve together and help each other, instead of this one-sided thing you probably mostly had going on.
And yeah, like you said, “not setting yourself on fire to keep others warm”, this means you have to stop spending time with the people that just drain you, even though it may sometimes be painful.
Anyway, hope you have a wonderful time, because this is actually all really fun once you prioritize your own happiness while dealing with others :D
See how many people here share your troubles? There’s no shortage of people like you. The thing is, like you say, you have to stop putting up with people’s bullshit. When you notice bullshit, confront them with it, and if there’s no way of reconciliation, move on immediately, don’t try to “put up” with anything. From what you said it seems like you hold on to toxic people too long.
Also, have you ever thought about that you might also have “BS” that other people would have to deal with when they want to create a deep connection with you? Do you think that’s absolutely impossible?
It’s just much more profitable for record labels to have a few superstars than thousands of mini-stars. A usual person won’t follow and buy from 100 music artists. They’ll buy from 1 to 10 or whatever. Having large fandoms allows you to sell more tertiary things like plush toys and shit like that, it wouldn’t be feasible to do that for thousands of artists.
Large fandoms also make people feel like they belong, when there’s a Swiftie fanclub in any small town with dozens of people there’s a community, if only 1 person in a town were a fan of a specific artist, even if there’s 1 in every town, the networking effect would just be basically nonexistent.
And in general there’s just too many amazing musicians. People love making music and as such there’s an oversupply. In addition to the above points that’s just capitalist supply and demand in play.
Just don’t use repacks like this, the original package is fine. Bandwidth is often free if you get a torrent, no need to save a few hundred MBs with ridiculously CPU intensive compression algorithms.
Well, it’s not “growing” per se, but we produce fertilizers which are “plant food”, so you could say we grow food for our food even for plants.
I just don’t see the point of complaining and trying to change your current partner. People should be who they are and not change majorly for anyone else.
Die Sache ist dass die ersten zwei Dinge nur minimal in deiner Kontrolle sind, und die dritte komplett in deiner Kontrolle. Insofern ergibt diese Dinge zu vergleichen überhaupt keinen Sinn, das einzige was du machen kannst ist sagen “yay ich bin wunderbar”
You should do something with your life.
Counterpoint: this word “should” and this whole expectation is very toxic. There is no need to “do something with your life”. If you’re fine where you are now and how your life is going, then you should keep doing that. Many people want to somehow instill a yearning in you to “get more”, but there must be a limit sometime right? You can’t always have more? Maybe this is just your point to stop, and you should have a partner who’s also fine with this and doesn’t suddenly want you to change.
But is he stopping her from growing, having dreams, goals, excitement? He just said so far that he doesn’t want to earn more money. That has literally nothing to do with what you just said.
I think expecting to get these things from your partner instead of working towards them yourself is very toxic.
I would indeed say nobody is the asshole here, but your girlfriend is very immature and lacks self-awareness.
People in general want status and wealth. Both are useful things to have in life, status gives you people to help you do what you want and wealth gives you resources to do what you want.
Your girlfriend wants those things and she doesn’t feel like she got them, even though objectively, if you can sustain yourself without working, you’re very wealthy. But it doesn’t feel like that because you can probably barely sustain yourself, i.e. you can’t go on cruises every 2 months and buy sports cars.
This is obviously a very materialistic and imo toxic worldview/desire, even though it’s very pervasive throughout our society.
But the more specific thing imo here is how women’s attraction works. This is not a universal thing, but most women are very attracted by ambition or drive, because it is a signal that you will be able to provide for a family. This is not a rational attraction, i.e. it doesn’t matter if you’re already rich and could potentially provide, the attraction for even more ambition as a character trait is still there.
Then what many women also want is a man to “follow”. Maybe daddy issues. They want a man to look up to, one that is strong, smart, good, confident, ambitious, a leader. Most often more than themselves. That’s why she says she can’t work when you don’t work. She wants you to remain in this “superior” attractive position, which wouldn’t be the case if she worked and you didn’t.
So in my opinion, she’s essentially trying to make you more attractive to her so she can stay with you, because she likes you and how her life is set up. But she’s unaware how toxic that is. She’s unaware how her attraction works. She’s extremely materialistic. She seems very entitled imo. I would say she’s the asshole, but at the same time I can’t quite blame her either, because all these things are very often what society tells you is good or happen very naturally, and you have to be exposed to certain ideas and do a lot of self-reflection to get away from this thinking.
It’s up to you to figure out what to do here. I probably would tell her all these things and see how she reacts. I certainly wouldn’t change anything I’m doing if I was in your position.
Neither sexism nor racism needs to be active hate towards someone. If you just absentmindedly select a white person for a job, you might not even be aware you did it nor do you need to hate the black applicant. Some biases are stealthily part of our psyche.
Eventually, yes. If everyone’s needs are provided for, there is no requirement anymore to extract value from art, one can just make it and share it freely.
Copyright should be abolished.
Why is no one mentioning here that the business model shouldn’t exist? If a copy can be made basically for free, there is no reason not to make it basically free. We should be providing everyone with the means to live regardless of their ability to sell stuff. If everyone was free to do whatever they please because their existence was provided for, people would still make media, because people love making things like that.
Of course that might mean that in the short term, while we don’t do this, pirating might mean that some things stop existing. I’d be completely fine if all Hollywood movies and other shit disappeared overnight. Maybe then people would finally come to the understanding that our current model of doing things sucks.
Not quite true… by default it goes to the previous/next tab in the list, but if you accidentally clicked somewhere else entirely in the list then going back/forward from that point does not get you to the tab you previously had selected.
Afaik there is a setting for it, but you have to have it enabled beforehand so it builds the history.
