There seems to be a pretty universal consensus view in leftist spaces that pejoratives based on marginalized groups are a form of microaggression and/or discrimination towards that group and should therefore be avoided. I'm wondering if you disagree with that general principle,

Yeah I guess so. No need to walk on egg shells just to live a little.

or do you just have a problem with the word "retarded" being included in the set of problematic pejoratives?

Both?

Way out of line dude. Stop imposing your morality as the gospel. And you again misinterpret what I said. Who is gonna be the arbiter of what words are harmful? That line can be a slippery slope.

And the use of retarded was directed at something, not someone, in case you missed that.

I feel like you have the impression I lean towards a radical view of free speech, but I have not alluded to that. So hold your horses. I simply stated I was hesitant to donate to an instance that banned users based on the use of the r-word. I wasn't looking for an alternative, I simply talked about an idea I have had.

That's not the kind of filter I'm talking about. I mean that all content in still there and accessible (to everyone) but only hidden depending on user's settings/preference. This should not require manual labor, if filter is functional enough. That way it's not outright removed, preventing said consequences of potential biased censorship.

I'm not saying said filter is easily implementable but theoretically it'd be the best solution I think.

Perhaps a filter on the user side is better than to outright censor things. Then you preserve the free flow of ideas and opinion, while limiting unwanted exposure to uninterested people. That way you eliminate the biases of what is deemed permissible and what not. I think that is a good solution for both sides

Sure, I just don't agree with the approach. I think it will backfire in the long run. But this is not a place to debate these things, I know...

It's tempting to donate but I was banned for using the r-word (against things, not people). I'm not sure if I want to support censorship though. But that's just my two cents... Idk

Will Firefox die for good if Google is forced to sell off Chrome? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

Currently, Google pays Firefox's bill by having them set their default search engine to Google.

This will no longer be when Chrome is in the hands of another party. DOJ is currently advocating for this forced sellout.

So will Firefox be no more after that?

What to do with glassware that is impossible to clean (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

General waste bin or glass recycle bin or neither?

I have some decade old, gruesome tall thin glasses infested with mold and food residue, cloaked in a grotesque and sticky film of decaying death that... are in no easy way to clean. What to do with them?

I think it might be dangerous to workers when put in the general waste.

why can't I connect to my ssh server UNLESS I enter eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" first? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have my own ssh server (on raspberry pi 5, Ubuntu Server 23) but when I try to connect from my PC using key authentication (having password disabled), I get a blank screen. A blinking cursor.

However, once I enter the command eval "$(ssh-agent -s)" and try ssh again, I successfully login after entering my passphrase. I don't want to issue this command every time. Is that possible?

This does not occur when I have password enabled on the ssh server. Also, ideally, I want to enter my passphrase EVERYTIME I connect to my server, so ideally I don't want it to be stored in cache or something. I want the passphrase to be a lil' password so that other people can't accidentally connect to my server when they use my PC.

Who/what are racists according to UK protests? Why are they protesting? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I don't know shit about politics. All I know is that in the UK the Labour party won, and the Conservative party lost.

I read some protestors are protesting against racism. What is this about? Protesting against new party that just won? I thought the Labour party was left-wing, meaning they are more on the social-equality side? I'm lost.

I can access the SITE, but not the stream? On Caddy to my DVR (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Locally, everything works fine on HTTP (http://192.168.1.222).

Externally, however, only PARTIALLY on HTTPS (https://mydomain:8344) through Caddy. I can connect to the site (first picture), but streams won't start.

Any idea why this is the case? My theory is that the RTSP port (554) is for streaming and that when I go to the local address (that is on 80), the site ITSELF initiates a connection to port 554 in the background. However, this apparently does not happen when I connect remotely.

EDIT: In the same Caddyfile, I reverse proxy my Jellyfin server that only uses a single port, and that works fine. The Caddy server runs on my Ubuntu Server 23 on Raspberry pi 5.

Is there a way to legally obtain a copy of Minecraft to join "offline" servers with? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I host my own Minecraft server and have online-mode set to false in serer.properties.

Now, I want others to join but I don't expect them to buy a legitimate copy of Minecraft. Isn't that why we use this setting online-mode?

In the ol' days (1.8 and post), I remember using some copy of Minecraft where I could just change my username on every start of this client, and join my server. Period. Done. I want the same again. Is this possible? In a non-illegal way? What about grey-area? I don't care about security or impersonation (partly).

about 1/5 times when I double click the flame icon in the junk mail folder, the message just completely disappears. The other 4/5 times, it gets transferred into my inbox. What?!? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As title says. about 1/5 times, the message (e-mail) is just gone. Nowhere to be found. Not in Deleted folder. Only way I can access this e-mail is logging into hotmail.com (because I have a hotmail account), then I find it in the junk folder. So it's not gone from the server, just gone in Thunderbird.

Restarting Thunderbird has no effect.

Has anyone the same experience? Should I submit this as a bug?

Am I ruining my liver? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I often take painkillers (acetaminophen aka paracetamol), but I've noticed that it's much more effective if I take them TOGETHER with my ADHD medication (ritalin aka methylphenidate) + my morning coffee. If I don't take them AT the same time, the painkiller is far less effective.

I do not exceed the maximum dosage of painkiller (1gram per intake, mornings), but alone this would barely suffice to kill my morning headache.

My hypothesis is that since the LIVER has to convert all three, I am effectively overdosing on either substance (painkiller or ADHD meds), and damaging my liver in the process.

how come there is no "appearance" button on the English wikipedia? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

The "appearance" button seen on Dutch wikipedia is able to change the SIZE of the font (text) and the width of the article. This is extremely nice to have, but it's not there on any English article...

this changes the width of the article (resembling the old style a little bit), as well as the SIZE of the text, which is very different from your browser changing the size of the page. Very convenient.

Only seen on the Dutch wikipedia

Why are only SOME communities inaccessible on lemmy.world? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I can access c/world on lemmy.world without problem:

lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/[email protected]

But I cannot access c/whatstheword:

lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/[email protected]

It seems unlikely that this specific and innocent community is blocked on either instance.

What's going on here?
