apotheotic (she/her)

I think passing judgement on people who are trying to get mental health assistance within their means makes you far more of a fucking loser.

Because for years it has been pitched and enforced as a field for men. Women who do it are derided or seen as other, and women who want to do it are discouraged or seen as misguided. This is shifting, but the biases will need to drop long before the actual balance will shift to equal.

Its nice to support women creators in an industry which is mostly male dominated

They still require you to have an account and its running an embedded version of the launcher anyway. Surely peoples issues with the launcher isn’t mainly “I don’t want to have to have another application installed” and is more “I dont want to make an account with yet another company and have them harvesting my data”

I had a different problem with breaking bad, but it killed my watching at around the same point: I just couldn’t stomach what a terrible human being Walter is. I dropped it after he (almost?) sexually assaulted his wife, and then years later someone managed to convince me to pick it up again and I dropped it once more when he allowed Jesse’s girlfriend to die as he watched

I know the point is that Walter is the bad guy, despite how many chuds idolize him and his Heisenberg persona, but fuck.

All good, glad we smoothed that over :)

There is a dedicated section for “pasture/range” which is the grazing space you’re talking about. I am not talking about that. I’m talking about the section for “livestock feed” which is crop growth.

Ugh, I accidentally deleted my previous comment when trying to edit, sorry for the double reply.

Original reply:

You think that the amount of land being dedicated to making food for livestock dwarfing the amount of land dedicated to feeding people is not a legitimate complaint?

Edit: eyeballing it, we use twice as much land (and as a result, water, energy, etc used in the farming process) making food for livestock (ie, food for what will become food) as we do making food for us

You think that the amount of land being dedicated to making food for livestock dwarfing the amount of land dedicated to feeding people is not a legitimate complaint?

And people will still say that the meat/dairy industry aren’t a plague

I think if you were nicer and explained what you believe instead of having a goal of being contrarian or playing devils advocate (which, when you do so, you advocate for the devil), people would not think you are a troll. They might think other negative things about you, but probably not that you’re a troll.

Aaaaah I totally misunderstood why you were taking 2n. You were taking 2n in case the truncated string was the same as one you already had. Makes more sense now.

Looks nice - though I don’t feel great about the 2n solution to apostrophes. You could just as well end up with 2n words with apostrophes, no? Its not particularly robust.

With n=6, and only grabbing n words, you have a roughly 88.24% chance of getting at least one word with an apostrophe (ie, you can’t generate a valid passphrase) With n=6, and grabbing 2n words, you have a roughly 3.86% chance of getting at least 7 words with an apostrophe (ie, you can’t generate a valid passphrase). That’s more than 1 in 30 fail!

If every apostrophed word has a non-apostrophe pair, as you say, then perhaps better practice would be to keep the dictionary in order and generate a (somewhat) random number as an index to grab. If it has an apostrophe, grab the next/previous word (ie, its pair).

Might be trickier to fit into exactly 27 lines, but at least it would be robust?

Edit: in hindsight, if the dictionary is required for this to function in the first place, you could just pre-prune it to remove apostrophe words

Hi its me, and I condemn it here too and will be taking direct action where possible.

I don’t think anyone expected them to seed on purpose but its not inconceivable that they’d accidentally let some seeding through, or not consider it in the first place.

With the utmost respect - if your music reaches enough people its going to end up on YouTube like it or not, especially under a CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0. But I respect not wanting to endorse the platform yourself.

No arguments here

Yeah, last year, 2024. Stupid way of intentionally phrasing it.

I wouldn’t, and I don’t think most people would, consider being in hibernation mode or sleep mode as “on”. Sure, it will add to your uptime, but like its a demonstrably different power state.

Mm, fair if you are running some task while you’re not “actively” using the PC. Although given the general sentiment of people in the replies, the leading reason is “I’m lazy” or “its convenient”.
