Serinus,

And vice versa. It’s known as the most complicated political quagmire of centuries. If you’re rooting for strictly one side or the other, you’re probably wrong.

Yes, it’s perfectly reasonable to want the war to stop. Once you start going farther than that…

Don’t allow people to push you to an extreme because you want to view your argument as a team sport.

Serinus,

I’d only do that if you want independent news.

Serinus,

Jesus Christ, no. It’s almost like you’re trying to sow distrust in the news and facts.

The NYT isn’t perfect, but it’s some of the most reliable news the world has.

As of March 2023, The New York Times Company employs 5,800 individuals,[101] including 1,700 journalists according to deputy managing editor Sam Dolnick.[122] Journalists for The New York Times may not run for public office, provide financial support to political candidates or causes, endorse candidates, or demonstrate public support for causes or movements.[123] Journalists are subject to the guidelines established in “Ethical Journalism” and “Guidelines on Integrity”.[124] According to the former, Times journalists must abstain from using sources with a personal relationship to them and must not accept reimbursements or inducements from individuals who may be written about in The New York Times, with exceptions for gifts of nominal value.[125] The latter requires attribution and exact quotations, though exceptions are made for linguistic anomalies. Staff writers are expected to ensure the veracity of all written claims, but may delegate researching obscure facts to the research desk.[126] In March 2021, the Times established a committee to avoid journalistic conflicts of interest with work written for The New York Times, following columnist David Brooks’s resignation from the Aspen Institute for his undisclosed work on the initiative Weave.[127]

Serinus,

Pay for news if you want it to be independent, and not beholden to sponsors.

I’d go as far as to say that paying for news (if you have the means to do so comfortably), is your duty as a commitment to democracy.

Serinus,

First, clean your microwave. If things are picking up flavors from your microwave, that’s a you thing, not a microwave thing.

Second, just cover things that you put into the microwave. You can get reusable covers, or you can often use a paper towel.

Third, a kettle is still better than a microwave for water.

Serinus,

If you drink tea or coffee, even irregularly, a kettle is worth having.

And a pour over is better than Keurig crap. I’d recommend using paper filters as well. Most of the time I just rinse the pour over when finished.

Generally I grind 2-3 servings of beans at a time and store the rest in a glass container in the fridge.

In the end, the effort is pretty comparable to a Keurig machine, but better quality, more flexibility, and you don’t have to deal with/buy pods or a machine.

Serinus,

Probably not worth the PR hit. There’s at least tens of thousands, if not millions of dollars of development work in Jellyfin. (Sorry my order of magnitude isn’t more precise.) Getting $2500 out of a developer budget may not be worth the accusations of being paid in hardware.

Not that I would complain, but I can see the logic. Imagine donating $200,000 worth of developer time and then being accused of doing it for the money because you got a $2100 laptop out of it.

I do wonder what the $300 was for. It’s gotta be some kind of specific hardware component testing.

Serinus,

It’s their philosophy, not mine. I think the Lemmy devs get a meager salary, and I’m perfectly okay with that.

But if you’re gonna stick to no pay, it makes sense to go all the way with it.

Serinus,

That still sounds like a Nazi problem to me.

Serinus,

If you didn’t, I was about to. California is anti-gun because one time black people had guns and Reagan didn’t like it.

Serinus,

If you don’t kick the Nazis out immediately, you’re a Nazi bar.

Nazi bar story

Serinus,

If there’s an LCS watch party around me I’ll certainly try to go.

Serinus,

It’s not like we drive our kids to the bus stop and then sit in the car until they get on the bus.

Serinus,

Back in my day, if the bus didn’t come eventually we’d just walk back home.

Serinus,

I was semi-related to a guy who would drag his oxygen tank to the kitchen so he could smoke by the window.

Serinus,

OR we can keep one fairly easily attainable, ubiquitous job that pays decently.

I’d rather make sure everyone gets healthcare than take away their tips.

Serinus,

If you get them healthcare and $30/hr (by the time we accomplish it), then yeah, take their tips.

Serinus,

100%

Serinus,

They always miss this part. It’s (part of) why the Republicans wanting to be Russian-style oligarchs is so insane. And ignoring good faith government and their disregard for the rule of law.

Do they KNOW what happens to Russian oligarchs? Why do they think they’re immune to that part of it? Do they really want the cutthroat politics of places like Russia and Africa, where they constantly have to watch their backs?

These people already have money. Their aims, if achieved, will not make their lives better.

Many years ago the people who ruled this country figured out that the best thing for them was to spread power and have most civilians in good health. Government by committee and good faith government is less about ethical treatment of citizens (though I appreciate the side effect) and more about protecting the committee and/or the would be dictator.

Serinus,

We’ve heard this bullshit so many times. You know what happens? They do it anyway.

Serinus,

This isn’t a real thing. There aren’t many softwares devs making 700k salary. I’d be surprised if that number reached dozens.
