Here’s my weird perspective on it, first of all it’s not a word in my vocabulary, so I wouldn’t say it anyways, and I don’t normally listen to rap/hip-hop or other styles that use the word, so accidentally singing it also isn’t a problem for me. But I think the most important point for me is that I’m not from the USA, and besides some random movie I have never ever heard the word being used in a racist manner, so to me it doesn’t carry the same weight as it does for people who have suffered it directly.

Personally I think it’s all related to the fact that a black saying that word implicitly has no racist connotations, whereas with non-black you can’t be sure. That being said, while I understand wanting to conquer the oppressiveness of it by incorporating it into your slang, if you prevent others from using it in the same way, the oppressiveness is still there and you haven’t removed power from the word. Think on how Gay used to be offensive, and things like the Gay Pride and similar reclaimed the word, to the point where even if heterosexual people use it nowadays it’s not necessarily offensive.

That being said, like I mentioned at the start, I don’t live in a place where people use that word, nor am I black, so I can’t possibly understand what hearing that means to someone who’s actually heard it as an insult, so me saying they should be more open with non-blacks using it in a non-offensive manner as a way to diminish the power of that word in the asshole mouths might feel insensitive. And at the end of the day I don’t care because it’s not in my vocabulary so I wouldn’t use it even if blacks were okay with me using it.

Yes, from some experience even on those fields you sort of need to proof that you tried to find someone in your own country and couldn’t find one.

Just remap it to something more useful, Colemak remaps it to backspace.

Yup, my steam controller is able to wake it up, haven’t had luck with the 8bitdo yet, but I still haven’t give it a try more than just plugging it and giving it a quick check

The one in the steamdeck does, which is how it achieves the ability to be woken from a controller.

Small correction, only the OLED model has that, it’s essentially the only gripe I have with my Deck.

No where. I like America.

Fair enough

What are my other options, realistically?

Lots of them really

Britain which just banned porn?

No they didn’t, they just force age verification, which is also common in the USA. So you have the exact same “problem” there, but are missing the free healthcare, and other benefits from the UK in relation to the USA.

Australia which banned Hentai?

Yeah, Australia is weird, they also banned several games and similar stuff because they have a government that’s very focused on moral problems, much like the right wing in the USA, so I don’t think it will be long before the USA goes down this same rabbit hole of “won’t somebody please think of the children” and bans the same things.

Canada, which is just America but cold and sky high housing costs?

I don’t even know how to reply to this, the fact that you think that a country that consistently picks the complete opposite policies from the USA is the same means you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. It’s like if someone told you they don’t want to stop eating deep fried chicken because salad is just the same thing except cold and more expensive.

As a US citizen you have right to work in most of those countries.

No you don’t, you need a visa to be able to work here, depending on your area of expertise companies might sponsor your visa.

I have Jellyfin running for years too and it has never broken for me, I use Linuxserver image, so maybe they delay the updates a bit?.. Now, Immich has broken so many times that nowadays is the only docker I don’t keep at latest (and I know using latest is a bad practice, I understand the reasons, but the convenience of not worrying about the versions beats all that for me)

Can anyone who owns an 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless confirm if the back paddles and L4/R4 buttons are now remapable on Steam?

There was a post from Valve a while back, you can now remap the back pedals via Steam, so they’re now recognized as a different input button instead of having to use their software to mapping it to one of the existing buttons. At least that’s my understanding, I don’t own any 8bitdo, and this was the reason I never bought one, so that might change in the near future.

I’ve lived in multiple places, so I’ll talk about all of them.

Brazil

I lived in two places there, essentially you can choose between public or private systems.

Under the private system you would book an appointment with whatever doctor you wanted, usually one or two weeks in advance, pay them (which is relatively expensive depending on the doctor), have the consultation, they might ask for some exams (some of which are paid, others included), possibly get a prescription (that you would have to pay for yourself), possibly go back for a follow up appointment (included in the price you already paid).

On the public system you book an appointment, wait some time (months in some places, days in others), have your consultation (if the doctor is in that day), possibly get a prescription (that you would likely get for free), possibly go back for a follow up appointment.

Ireland

There’s a public system, but you have to be below a certain income level to use it, otherwise you have to go through the private system. You have to register with your GP (most of which don’t have available spots), for anything you first need to contact your GP (which usually takes a week), and pay €60, explain your problem and if they choose to forward you to and specialist (even if you go and say I need to see a cardiologist they might say “no, you do not”, although that’s unlikely), then they send an email to the specialist who only then accepts that you book with them (usually for a week or so later), then you have to pay the specialist (which is usually >€300), they might ask for some exams (which you have to book and pay on your own, some blood work I did was €700), they might give you a prescription (which is paid but there’s a €80 cap on medicine per house per month, which is the only nice part of the whole system), and if you need a follow up it’s usually €150. If you have health insurance (or at least mine was like this) they give you back 50% of all your expenses up to a certain limit.

Spain

I’m not too familiar with the options here because I have private insurance through my work and as you’ll see I’ve had no reason to look elsewhere, but I’ve been told the public system is fairly similar. Whenever I need an appointment I open my insurance app or call a doctor office and ask if they take my insurance, book an appointment (usually for a week or two in advance), go there, show my id and insurance card, go to the appointment, if they ask for some exams I do them, if they give me a prescription I take it to a pharmacy and pay it out of pocket (this is the only part I know public system exists and is somewhat better because you get the drugs for free, but since I don’t take any recurring prescriptions I haven’t bothered to check), if I need a follow up I book it and go back. Never had to pay one cent for anything other than medicine. I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop and getting billed for all of the Dr appointments, but so far it hasn’t happened hahaha

Configuration is much easier, e.g. this is the full config you need to expose nextcloud on nextcloud.example.com (assuming caddy can reach nextcloud using the hostname nextcloud)

nextcloud.example.com {
        reverse_proxy nextcloud
}

Comparing that to ngnix configs that need a template for each different service (although to be fair they’re mostly the same).

I’m currently learning Catalan, doing Duolingo until I find some class (which there should be one in a couple of months). It’s relatively easy for me since I already speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese and understand almost everything in Italian.

My point is that of those 120 probably 110 have never been compromised nor forced you to change the password due to expiration policies. The remaining 10 are the ones that require some mental gymnastics, so while the problem exists it’s not as serious as it sounds. I probably have more than 120 identities using this method since I’ve been using it for years, and I don’t think I ever had to use the counter, it’s a matter of being consistent in how you think about websites, for example if you know how you refer to a site slugify it and use that for the field, so you would use spotify, netflix, amazon-prime.

Good luck, and let me know how it goes, it should be just that really, just don’t touch the controller until you’re through

That’s weird, that’s the solution, does your controller has some drift that could cause it to still be firing some thrusters?

Nope, just extra dimensional cause for creation, no higher purpose required, for all we know whenever two rocks collide in that scenario they create a universe.

Also no, you’re completely missing the point, if God is omnipotent he could have made humans to never suffer and still be free, in theory most Christians believe that Heaven is free of suffering, do you cease being yourself when you go to heaven then? Just because you or I can’t imagine a world where humans are free but can’t hurt one another doesn’t mean that’s beyond the realm of possibilities, and if your counter argument will be that then we wouldn’t really be free, I tell you that humans can’t explode someone by looking at them, so he already imposed some limitations on the amount of harm we could cause to each other, yet you don’t see this as less freedom because you just accepted that’s the natural state, I propose there could be a natural state where humans can’t cause harm to each other and are still free.

Obvious spoiler ahead is obvious: Just let go of the controller when you enter that area, you’ll float peacefully (albeit very close to them) until the exit portal.

Yup, eventually believers reach the same stopping point but instead of saying “I don’t know” they go “God did it”, until science explains how that happened, so believers go to the next thing and say “well I don’t know how this happened, therefore God”. That is called “the God of the gaps” and it’s a terrible argument, it’s okay to admit we don’t know something.

And no, I’m not talking about Abraham, I’m talking about Jesus, the whole reason why Jesus is crucified is so that his blood can clean the sin of mankind. The basics of Christianism are the following tenets:

1. God can’t (or doesn’t want to) coexist with Sin
2. God requires blood sacrifices, usually animals, to purify Sin
3. God offered a loophole, by sacrificing an innocent person anyone can point at that sacrifice and say “I’m using this sacrifice to purify my sins”.
4. Because there are no Sinless humans he had to come down in human form to sacrifice himself so that he could charge the innocent blood price for the Sins of mankind

Otherwise why would God need to offer himself as sacrifice to purify sins? Couldn’t he just say “all sins are gone”? However you look at it he asks for a blood sacrifice, however he allows you to cash in his own blood sacrifice in its place, and if you don’t he sends you to Hell, very loving fellow.

Yeah, it’s probably a legal thing, rreading-glasses is just metadata for books, completely legal, but readarr legality is less clear, so maybe they’re trying to prevent issues.

Also I didn’t understand what is rreading-glasses and why you need it

Say you want to grab a book by Isaac Asimov, you type the name of the book in readarr search bar, readarr contacts a metadata provider to show you cover images, author, date, etc. Then when you select the book readarr uses that metadata to search for downloads and ensure you’re getting the correct book and not another random book with the same name.

The problem is that readarr uses a closed source API for it’s metadata, and it’s constantly offline, which makes it impossible to use readarr. Luckily they allow you to customize the URL for the API, and rreading-glasses is an open source implementation of that API that you can use as a drop in replacement.
