Abortion should be legal in all cases

The thread replying to the parent comment is a good example of how restricting abortion access requires people to arbitrarily decide definitions of when a fetus “becomes human.”

It’s best to leave that decision up to the pregnant person in consultation with their medical providers.

but a fetus becomes a unique individual when there is clear, identifiable, brainwave activity.

If there’s no brainwave activity, it’s not a life, no matter how many weeks old pre-birth or how many years old after birth.

This is another arbitrary definition of personhood. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong. But there are other (equally arbitrary) definitions that are reasonable too. (And there are a bunch of unreasonable definitions, but we don’t need to go into those.)

Which isn’t to say there can’t be leftist antisemites. But it does seem like a lot of anti genocide people are unjustly treated as antisemitic.

It’s hard to prove the blanket statement, “there are no good reasons to have a private jet.” But it’s easy to prove, “one overpaid person taking a private jet to commute 1000 miles is frivolous.”

I started using restic for backups.

Pro:

• Encryption
• Deduplication
• Flexible backup location
• Data integrity checks

Con:

• No good GUI

What if I like ellipses…

No. As a general rule with all software, you purchase a license to use the software, not the actual software itself. That being said, GOG and Itch.io can’t yank games that you’ve already downloaded. I don’t know if Steam does or not, but it probably can.

Here’s another plug for gitea. It’s lightweight, but still has a nice feature set.

I tried hosting GitLab a number of years back, but it was more resource hungry than my host machine could handle well.

Yes. I’ve used it to batch convert PNG and jpg to webp.

Check out mogrify. I think it’s installed standard with ImageMagick, and it does wildcard conversions.

Anything Zigbee or Z-Wave.

Do you have a write-up or anything if someone wanted to start building their own?

For organizing and searching the files, I’m using paperless-ngx. It’s worked pretty well for these and for scanned documents.

My issue is getting the PDFs without having to spend time every month manually downloading them.

All solutions that integrate with banking sites I’ve ever encountered were nothing more but ugly hacks, IMHO.

Yup. That’s basically what FileThis provided. A maintained set of ugly hacks to pull the files for you automatically :D.

Sounds like a great design direction to me. I’m excited to see how it turns out.

Honestly, I figured it was one of those things people didn’t talk about because it was useless.

I assumed that was something everyone could do 🤯

The only option I can think of is some sort of privacy-preserving cryptocurrency or physically mailing cash. Every other method I can think of would have your real name attached to it.

It took some digging, but here’s a link to the actual paper: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2304318120

Yeah, I’m wondering the same. Maybe it’s helpful for containerized apps or something?

Anyone else have any insight on this?
