It looks like someone is on David Graeber again…

Be careful with these kinds of realizations around here… (Apparently the term ‘horseshoe theory’ can summon half of lemmy user base on the thread)

Philosophy memes are also awesome, though I rarely see them around

Math memes (and science memes in general, when I can understand them)

I do believe my experience in this regard is not representative of everyone, I probably failed to untick some checkbox (regarding communications) and the “too many ad emails” are a handful (in 3 months), which to me is a handful too much (having to untick a box should not be necessary)

I get your point, though Tailscale specifically crosses a line for me in this sense:

• Using code created/maintained by businesses: ok
• Relying in infrastructure maintained by businesses: not ok

I am not that big of an enthusiast, but the way I see it, if a company goes rogue and you’re using their open source code, it’s just a matter of forking it (I’m thinking about Emby/Jellyfin as an example) If you rely on their infrastructure (such as Tailscale servers) then you are at the mercy of the companies

To that end: I’d say that OP is prettt on point by suggesting Headscale, you’re still “using Tailscale” in a sense, but without chaining yourself to the business

Yup, I don’t know if that is OP’s intention, but I would agree myself with the complaint that “Tailscale is a business”

The way I see it, if it’s a business it must generate revenue (either now or down the road), and that is enough to have me worried. I do have a Tailscale registration, and the way they approach email communication is already a yellow flag to me (too many ad emails)

Oh, I didn’t know they do links now

In this case I’ll give you that it can be useful (mostly in reading several recipes and summarizing), but personally I’m still going to do the old school web search (if anything, just to exercise my information retrieval skill, which I believe is important)

I respectfully disagree, while you might be able to get some pointers, I would not trust LLMs with the ingredients quantities (given that replacing a number or measure unit is quite easy and would go unnoticed)

So while I could understand asking: “should I put bell peppers on this dish?”, I would never trust it’s answer to “how much bell pepper should I put in the recipe?” (Which I believe is what recipes are about)

It does if you think about how we’re teached to react, since very young we (at least that’s my experience) hear about women objetification and how it is irrational to represent every woman with an hourglass figurine

There is also a hateboner vibe coming from the incels (despite being an incel in the literal sense, I cannot explain that since I don’tidentidy with the modern ‘incel’ definition)

The key is to try to draw a line when it is too much, I don’t think it is the case here but some prudish people mihjt disagree

Not that much, really I moved from Brazil to Portugal and I was surprised by both the culture similarity and the number of brazillians around

Still, when I arrived the closest people I knew were 2000km away hhaahaha, so even small changes can be challenging at times

I’m also in my late 20s, and I’m an immigrant (changed continents)

When I meet new people, ai usually have a hard time coming up with something to talk about, so I had (still have) a hard time making new friends.

What helped me was to have continuous contact with people in a focused environment, for example: with around 6 months of office attendance I started warming up to my new colleagues (which eventually became friends), even though we were usually talking about work back then, we started to talk about it less and less up to a point where we don’t even work together anymore, but keep in touch

I found another of such environments in sports practices as well: don’t want to talk about anything? Fine, let’s just keep this ball rolling back and forth" but then eventually (again after a few months of continuous contact with the same group of people) things started to warm up a little

So to sum it up I’d say: patience is key, it usually takes a while before prople start to get along well

Yup, we are in agreement, though I might have missphrased my comments to imply that one shouldn’t believe in energy

To that end, there is a quote from Dumbledore on one of the Harry Potter films (don’t know which one) where he says: “of course this is in your head Harry, but does it make this less real?”

On the risk of looking like a lunatic philosopher, yes, I’d argue that gravity doesn’t exist.

Even if energy is not manmade, the concept of energy is, or in other words: we invented this concept in order to more easily understand phenomena around us.

I see a lot of replies saying that “energy is in all things and is immutable”, but we (at least I) can imagine a scenario where someone invents a whole new system to describe nature which might not use the concept of energy at all (or any other concept you choose, such as gravity). The nature can be the same but the way we describe it can vary wildly (more likely beyond human comprehension).

David Graeber’s “Debt” goes to some extent about this,

He traces philosophy back to a few factors such as urbanization, imperialism (i.e. Greece, India and China were great empires at that time) and the advent of coinage at the time (which allegedly was a way ro finance armies and finance more imperialism)

Interesting, I don’t know this one, would you have a link?

Shower with your dad simulator is not a bad game at all, it’s very funny and properly implementes

It still is a “trash” game though (so I thought it was worth mentioning)

• case insensitive
• rrecursive
• only show filenames

I also like to use:

• I (capital i) to skip binary files, if I’m in a folder with heavy images/videos/etc
• c 3 to show 3 lines around the matched text

Fun fact: I use “git bash shell” over windows’ cmd just because of grep
