but I can accept that you meant it differently than typed.

I did not mean it differently than typed. I said “to me it’s not a loss” and I mean that. To me it’s not a loss, to them it is.

ml is a self choosen label though, so people can choose not to use it.

And people can choose to treat people the same based on that label, and I can choose to think it’s immature. And at the same time I can not care if people choose to cut themselves off from ml.

You literally say it again here where you advocate for not treating everyone the same

No, I advocate for not dismissing people solely based on their chosen instance without taking into account their actual views. I do not advocate against blocking ml entirely, because I don’t view being cut off from people who make those types of assumptions as a loss for me.

You’ve spent multiple comments expressing that lack of care… which doesn’t make it seem like you don’t care, but instead makes it seem like this bugs you because you feel its unfair, and you’ve said as much here.

Only because you and other people have spent multiple comments not understanding me so I’m only repeating myself. I’m only commenting because this is the third shit stirring post by the same user, and I only chimed in to another ml user that I’m not bothered if people decide to block ml because it’s a win to me to avoid immature people and in my view a loss to others because I spend most of my time on lemmy giving tech support to others.

But you are engaging with them… I am very confused

No, I engaged with someone else on ml, and then you couldn’t resist engaging with me. I don’t see what’s confusing about this. I don’t think I’m missing anything by not being able to engage with this post. Yet it’s here, so I’m engaging with it. That doesn’t mean I value this engagement or would miss it at all. Let me again repeat that my preference is to ignore these types of posts, which is why I refrained from commenting on the other similar posts OP has made in the past. It’s kind of silly to assume that engagement means you necessarily value the content.

Do you similarly think engaging with a racist by arguing with them means you must also value their content or presence? Of course not. Chiming in to say that I would not miss them, but also disagree with their views, is not contradictory.

Anyhow, I think I’ll go back to ignoring these types of posts. I think this kind of blanket assumption about people based on their instance is a net negative to the community. That said, I don’t think it’s at all inconsistent to both view OPs attitude as immature while simultaneously not caring if they decide to block ml, precisely because being blocked by immature people is not a net negative to me.

Merry Christmas!

To me it’s not a loss

I think it’s a loss to other people

These are not mutually exclusive and not contradictory at all

That seems like you’re going out of your way to ascribe malice

Do you not see the post at the top of this thread??

You can’t think of any reasons someone might not want to block but might still complain?

Imo this is not complaining, this is shit stirring. This meme isn’t even acknowledging that there are multiple types of people on ml, but advocates for treating everyone the same. Do you not see an issue with that?

I mean here you are simultaneously advocating for not throwing out the baby with the bathwater

This is your assumption. All I’ve said here is that I don’t care, I’m only commenting because this is the 3rd shit stirring post made by this OP, and I consider it a loss to those who block ml, but not to me. I’ve glossed over multiple posts like this from OP in the past so I clearly do not care if people view ml like this, it only reinforces the fact that I’m not missing anything by not being able to engage with people who are this immature.

When I say I don’t usually engage with these types of posts, it’s because I remember several others like it that I chose to ignore. Checking OPs history, it seems they posted every other one that I remember. I don’t count it as a loss at all if people like this make their own decision to block ml because I’d rather not see this kind of drama all the time. It doesn’t matter to me if they see it as a loss or a gain, I’m still gonna be here engaging with and helping people who need help in various communities. To me it’s not a loss if someone isn’t able to receive my help if they decide that it’s not worth it to them - that’s their decision to make, and I’d rather not worry about people who are going to behave like OP.

The constant handwringing and wishing about ml users suffering more from being blocked because you don’t like certain users honestly reeks of a sore ex who wants to twist the knife. If ml bothers certain users (I’m looking at OP especially) then just block ml and stop posting about it repeatedly (looking at you OP).

I similary only print useful things and tools, and my impression was that paid models seem to be mostly decorative things, whereas the most useful functional prints seem to usually be free. I don’t think I’ve ever paid for a model, but cults has a lot of paid stuff if you want to look.

Sure, but seeing posts like this encouraging discounting other people based on the instance they signed up on doesn’t make me want to switch instances so I can spend more time with them. Posts like these make it harder to care about what I’m missing tbh.

Honestly these kinds of posts don’t bother me. I’m usually on here answering people’s tech questions or trying to provide useful resources to people. If they don’t see it because they have ml blanket blocked then that’s their loss.

The iCloud share is no longer valid, is there a mirror somewhere?

I hate when I try to load up an old game in my library only to find out that I need to log in to another launcher to which I’ve forgotten my password to.

Fuck em, but also a few measurements, plastic prototypes, and 1 shapeways order and you could have a custom stainless socket wrench bit to fit these. I’ve printed a custom shaped utility box key in 17-4 for less than $50.

It’s the wiki hosted under the same domain that you signed up for on lemmy: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/

It’s linked to in the sidebar for this community since it has lots of resources for piracy. The sidebar of this community also has a link to the genp community.

Lots of pirated programs will get reuploaded to other places with viruses added, which is why programs and games can be one of the more risky things to pirate. That said, if you use the links in the download directory section of the db0 wiki genp guide (the one labeled latest updated version), then you should be safe. That wiki is run by the same person who runs the instance you signed up on as well as this community.

Of course, if you don’t absolutely need Photoshop then it’s infinitely less risky and less complicated to just use gimp or krita.

If you actually need Photoshop’s features and can’t use gimp or krita, then genp is the way to go. If you just search genp you’ll find the dbzer0 wiki page which has all the information. I used it to get substance painter because I needed to open files made by other people.

I’m upvoting this just so more people have to see it

Hopefully forgefed (based on activity pub) helps with this - in theory you could use your codeberg account to open issues on repos hosted on other instances. I believe forgejo is working on implementing it.

Honestly that’s kinda how I view it for myself. Might recreationally get bottom surgery someday too.

I was already kinda considering HRT because I only just discovered that SERMs are a thing, which allows you to avoid certain changes from HRT. Remembering that receding hairlines are a thing that happens in your 30s might just be the thing to push me to start HRT.

It looks like it’s about helping to audo deploy docker-compose.yml updates. So you can just push updated docker-compose.yml to a repo and have all your machines update instead of needing to go into each machine or set up something custom to do the same thing.

I already have container updates handled, but something like this would be great so that the single source of truth for my docker-compose.yml can be in a single repo.

The interesting thing is that the myth of American exceptionalism works both ways - both that we can succeed when we use strategies that have failed elsewhere, and also that we’re so unique and different that we’ll fail if we try strategies that are proven successful elsewhere. Both convincing people that we should do the opposite of what’s been shown to solve problems elsewhere.

I use gluetun to connect specific docker containers to a VPN without interfering with other networking, since it’s all self contained. It also has lots of providers built in which is convenient so you can just set the provider, your password, and your preferred region instead of needing to manually enter connection details manage lists of servers (it automatically updates it’s own cached server list from your provider, through the VPN connection itself)

Another nice feature is that it supports scripts for port forwarding, which works out of the box for some providers. So it can automatically get the forwarded port and then execute a custom script to set that port in your torrent client, soulseek, or whatever.

I could just use a wireguard or openvpn container, but this also makes it easy to hop between vpn providers just by swapping the connection details regardless of whether the providers only support wg or openvpn. Just makes it a little more universal.

Waow
