"The History of Child Abuse" by psychohistorian Lloyd deMause in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

That was an interesting read. It had a good point, but I feel it could have made it, perhaps better, without bringing in the Freudian obsession with sex, and several wild claims which it did not provide sources for. It also seemed to imply that gay sex was abuse in and of itself, regardless of the consent of the people involved, and did not recognise nonbinary people. Soo, that's not great. But still, a very interesting read, thanks for sharing!

No, it was clever from a business decision. Unethical, but strategic. 'Stupid' would imply it was a mistake, or not considered properly.

You think it was stupid? It was obviously an intentional choice to influence people to pester their friends to get Apple devices so it will 'just work'

So what's the genetic difference? If the copy was good enough, surely they would be dire wolves? Also, what is the motivation to bring back dire wolves?

Maybe if it's something like an ender pearl stasis chamber either on a timer or on a server that needs a daily ping to not activate. Not a big bulky device.

I must have missed, which app are you using to run the models?

Please do. I don't have that much VRAM, but I do have slow RAM I can use.

I mean, words are defined based on how people use them, they don't have precise objective definitions like that. Words are messy, subjective, and the meaning is dependent on the context and culture it's being used in. I'm sure in some academic contexts that is the accurate definition, but there will also be cultures and contexts where your original intuition about the meaning was correct.

Cool! I've added it to my library, will probably have fun with it later :)

It's a metaphor for the idea that things that are hard to accomplish are often not as rewarding as we might expect.

4 types of agnosticism (lemm.ee)
 

There is no 'the answer'... or we don't know 'the answer'... or we don't know if there is a 'the answer'... or we don't know if we can know the 'the answer'? 4 kinds of agnosticism, all different.

Which famous philosopher said this before me? I'm sure I'm not the first to have thought about it this way.

Ftp mounting doesn't seem to work (lemm.ee)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/58872408

Hey,

So I've been connecting to an ftp server which I worked on with apps like GNOME Builder, and backed up the contents of with Pika Backup, connecting to it via the GNOME Files application, Nautilus, from the Network tab.

Recently, apps stopped being able to read files I opened with the file picker hosted on the ftp server, and after a lot of debugging I realised that was because Nautilus had for some reason switched from mounting the files under /run/user/1000/gvfs/ftp_address to the more abstract path ftp://ftp_address, under the virtual directory computer:///. Now apps can't read those files as they are not mounted under an actual path.

I couldn't find a way in Nautilus, FileZilla, or Dolphin to mount the ftp server files under a specified path /mnt/ftp_username, or even to put it back to the unwieldy but still working path it was under before, using a GUI.

I was recommended by an LLM assistant to use the curlftpfs command, but even with several variations of a command such as the following

sudo curlftpfs -v -o "uid=$UID,gid=$GID" ftp://username:correct%20password@ftp_address /mnt/ftp_username

it always gave the same error

Error setting curl:

I'm not sure what else to try, could I have some advice please?

The curl command worked by itself, just not with curlftpfs, but with just curl I can't mount it.

I'm not sure what else to try, could I have some advice please?

Edit: it seems the error message was a bug with a combination of using curlftpfs and curl v8.9.1

A commenter also suggested using rclone or gio, as apparently curlftpfs is unmaintained and that's why it's not working.

If you identify as a man
If you identify as a man
If you identify as a man
If you identify as a man
If you identify as a man
If you identify as a man
If you identify as a man
If you identify as a man
And you're over the age of majority in your country
If you identify as a man
Or you're over the age or adulthood in your religion
If you identify as a man
Or you're over the age of puberty
If you identify as a man
If you identify as a man
If you identify as a man
Then you’re a man, my son!

Original - If by Rudyard KiplingIf you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

As I was donning underwear
I saw a girl who wasn't there
She wasn't there again today
I wish that man would go away!

Original - Antigonish by William Hughes MearnsAs I was walking up the stair
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh how I wish he'd go away!

(This is just one version, there are several variations on the theme)

How I got this (game spoilers for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)Finished the whole story except for the last quest where I enter the inn in White Orchard, and returned back to Skellige where the Nilfgaardian ships were parked. The ships were gone, but their lanterns remained. Finishing the game properly removed them.
