Humans are part of nature too, and we have our animal instincts same as any other animal. Only thing that differs is our capacity to self-reflect and exercise agency over our place in the ecosystem. What matters is that we have respect for life and don't take it for granted. I agree that factory farms, hunting for sport or luxury goods like furs, etc. is wrong, but I don't see a problem with a small farm raising some animals as long as they're treated with respect and given a comfortable life. All animals - including us - are dependent on others for survival.

It's a bad argument anyway, since street-blocking protest crowds almost always part to allow an ambulance through. If an ambulance is stopped, it's usually the cops blocking it.

Reminds me of this:

Not sure if this is real, but you know you've won at life when you can submit something looking like this and still get hired.

All LLMs should be FOSS. They are created from everyone's data, and should therefore be free for everyone.

Pantheon season 1 is being added to Netflix tomorrow, but season 2 is not (and might never be). Both seasons are on Prime Video but it is region-locked, though I'm not sure which regions it is available in.

Pantheon is a fantastic sci-fi show with really smart themes that has been completely screwed over by streaming services. The writing is incredible and contains some very intelligent satire and critiques of big tech corporations, and even dips its toes into geopolitics (not even kidding, the Israel-Palestine conflict becomes a plot point in season 2, and this was written prior to Oct. 7).

If you want to watch the series in its entirety then piracy is a must for the vast majority. Needless to say, I highly recommend watching.

The reality is even worse. They're going to "learn" all the wrong lessons. They will shift further to the right, like they always do.

I'm looking for software for making small-scale maps / designs. Say for example I wanted to map out a small-ish plot of land with various markers indicating features of the site. Another requirement is that is must have the capability to depict elevation. Others have recommended map-making software for dungeons and dragons, but of the ones I can find they are either paid / subscription models or they strictly adhere to a grid system that makes it impossible to use for my purposes.

Does anyone have some good recommendations?

Edit: It doesn't have to be a single piece of software necessarily. If anyone has recommendations for a particular workflow (like for example if you know some good open source drawing software I could use to draw over the top of a topographic map) I'm interested in that as well.

historically humans aren't usually burning down libraries on purpose.

How on earth have you come to this conclusion.

The corporations that took control of the Internet don't want us to remember.

When I was young growing up Southern Baptist there was one time where the pastor preached about this verse, and the whiplash I felt when I heard family members bad-mouthing immigrants the moment they stepped outside is partly what led me to read the Bible myself, which led to me losing my faith.

As an anarchist this is me on a good day. I more often find myself in the middle getting shit on from both directions.

This is not terrorism, it's industrial sabotage, which in the context of the coal industry is based.

Science is just the method by which technological advancements are achieved, it doesn't decide the priorities. That privilege falls to capital, and by extension, capitalists.

I would suspect this is an intentional dark pattern. They're probably hoping most people will get tired of waiting and click cancel, which sets it back to the default of allowing all cookies.

Edit: For those who stumble across this with the same issue, I eventually got it working by adding “default-runtime”: “nvidia”, to /etc/docker/daemon.json then restarting the docker service and Jellyfin container.

I am in the process of setting up a new media server on an old PC using Ubuntu Server and CasaOS and have run into my first major roadblock.

To give some background, I formerly had my media server running on my main gaming PC on Windows using Plex and the *arr suite. I’m now trying to do things the right way and set everything back up from scratch on some spare hardware with Jellyfin and all the rest in dockerized containers. I chose CasaOS because I’m not overly familiar with Linux and thought that would be a good way to ease into things.

Everything was going well until I tried to get hardware acceleration enabled in Jellyfin. For the life of me I cannot seem to get the Nvidia drivers properly installed, much less give Jellyfin access to the device. I’m using a GTX 960.

I’m not sure exactly what additional info I need to give here, but here’s something I hope helps:

*****@home-server:/$ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

If there’s anything important I’m leaving out - and I probably am - let me know. Also if there’s anywhere else you recommend I post this let me know that as well.
