The problem is that in america, the oppressors they are trying to overthrow own literally all of the means. A select few people and corporations own virtually all of the media, virtually all agriculture (and seed producers have all farmers in a stranglehold of corruption, that is a huge rabbit hole), a very large surveillance system, virtually all popular means of organizing and communication, a majority of politicians (I consider giving public bribes to politicians directly correlating with votes on policies bought politicians), and the entire police force (see: luigi resources used vs every single other shooting every day, a special emergency line for the rich, protection of corporations like amazon in strike breaking, and the long history of the police killing union members and strikers for literally >150 years). Not to mention that now, technology has reached the point where it is engineered to be so addictive as to be detrimental to in-person communities that throughout history have done the vast majority of reform and revolution organization. Now they literally don't even have to provide for the basic needs of people because a very small group of people control and have very deep insights into every single part of peoples' lives.

If you look at extremely influential and corrupt entities in the EU such as deutchebank, ING, nestle, and other special interest groups in europe, they have struck a much better balance of providing for the peoples' basic needs while still owning and controlling absolutely massive amounts of influence, laundering money, implementing governing policies directly benefiting them, etc... while not upsetting the balance enough to spark a movement. Part of this is due to the fact that compared to america, the police states in europe don't have near the control and freedom over the general population, but that is even changing in some places here. Even then, look at the difference of nice orderly law-abiding, unintrusive protests in the EU vs the US. If people's needs are cared for, you can pick their pockets and they will not be nearly desperate or angry enough to organize against you. Unions are being gutted all over the EU, and union membership is falling sharply while wealth inequality is again starting to rise in many places which was exactly the thing that started america down their path.

And ladies and gentlemen, that is part of the reason for the gender gap lol

He also couldn't get hired at McDonalds for real.

They don't hire convicted felons IIRC.

Who cares? How about efficiency. Work done per watt?

We don't need a mobile phone as powerful as a laptop. We need a phone that lasts for longer with normal tasks.

I live in Belgium. I think I count on 2 hands how many people I have seen with an iPhone, and I have a quite young workplace.

Surprising that apple is top. Literally every public place where you are where a phone rings or an alarm goes off, there is a 90% chance it is the default Samsung tone/alarm and almost everyone in the room immediately checks if it was theirs lol.

Oh boy, one of these... Someone just trying to justify foods that they like.

Antioxidant people are ridiculous. Studies have shown marginal results at best for anti oxidant rich diets IIRC. A nice benefit, but not something to base a lifestyle around...

Peanut butter is NOT a good source of protein unless you are trying to bulk or have a high fat diet. If you sort foods by protein per 100 calories or similar, nut butters drop off the list. Wheat bread literally has more protein than peanut butter. Beans and lentils have the same protein at a fraction of the calories. Not to mention that many peanut butters are made with palm oil with high saturated fat to keep costs down.

100g of Almonds literally have the same amount of fiber as 120g of black beans with more than 3x the calories and significant cost difference.

By this person's reasoning, why is Tofu, wheat bread, raspberries (the food with the highest fiber per calorie of any food I have found), tempeh, etc... Not on the list while tomatoes, oranges, lemons, and watermelon, which is literally sugar water. Don't get me wrong, I love and eat all of them, but it is not a health super food to "eat every day." They are fine, but they aren't pinnacles of nutrition... They add flavor, texture, and acid to dishes to round them out, and because they are good sources of flavor, you don't need a ton of them to build a meal. They aren't a source of nutrition. You aren't going to eat 10 large tomatoes in a sitting to get less protein and fiber than a small bowl of legumes...

When you list 35 foods, you are just listing a broad portion of foods you like. What is the point of this besides half of it being pseudoscience "miracle compounds" inside chosen foods like this crap:

which, among other useful traits, may stimulate collagen synthesis to keep skin looking supple.

Just eat lots of all sorts of vegetables, berry fruit, eggs, and beans and lentils, and try a bunch of different recipes from different cultures and you will be healthy and have a wide variety of flavors to not bore you. It is not complicated and you don't have to follow blog lists...

This. This is a hole in the market I think.

Windows used to have a similar hidden feature that my friend used all the time to tracking his work projects, but they removed it some time ago.

This is a good idea. It could even be later expanded to a sort of "digital wellbeing" type use case with time limits or reminders on certain apps, etc...

What is Futo? Their website says absolutely nothing besides their "company values."

What is their business model?

Who is running it?

How do they earn money to give out?

What do they ask in return besides hoarding the trademarks?

Flat fee is always good, but I am always skeptical about these sort of completely opaque, altruistic companies that often turn into not-so-altruistic companies after they see more profit capabilities.

Compatibility and storage.

Do you want only 2 devices of the 10 your family possibly owns to work?

Do you want your family to complain that jellyfin "isn't as good as Netflix/Disney+/etc.." Because it constantly stops to buffer and a can't keep up the framerate?

It is completely fine if you are single and have 1-2 devices that work with AV1 and h.265 client side and that is all you need, then you don't have to bother with transcoding at all. When you start letting other people into it, compatibility becomes an issue.

As for storing it beforehand, the entire point of AV1 and HEVC is to significantly reduce the size on disk. If you have to store 10 versions or each file, 5 resolutions each, half h.264, then you are taking up about 20x the space per file compared to 1 copy of HEVC or AV1.

A transcode GPU like the A380 or new QSV compatible CPU is MUCH cheaper than a new good quality 12TB drive lol

Sorry for the long text, it pretty much depends on the living situation.

This is standard, but often unwanted, behavior of docker.

Docker creates a bunch of chain rules, but IIRC, doesn't modify actual incoming rules (at least it doesn't for me) it just will make a chain rule for every internal docker network item to make sure all of the services can contact each other.

Yes it is a security risk, but if you don't have all ports forwarded, someone would still have to breach your internal network IIRC, so you would have many many more problems than docker.

I think from the dev's point of view (not that it is right or wrong), this is intended behavior simply because if docker didn't do this, they would get 1,000 issues opened per day of people saying containers don't work when they forgot to add a firewall rules for a new container.

Option to disable this behavior would be 100x better then current, but what do I know lol

I have gotten a job through glassdoor. My first actually.

It's just a job posting site and most tech jobs go through an internal portal anyway.

90% of any "easyapply" services on any job finding platform will do nothing at all

As far as a company reviewer, it is a shitshow. I was looking for a job last year, tons of 2-4 star companies with fully mixed/negative feedback I was browsing again a few weeks ago and a lot of those companies have positions open. Almost every one of them were now "unreviewed" companies with 0 reviews. All of those reviews were purged.

There are no companies (that I have been coming across in my field) in my country now that have below 3.5 stars. A company that I KNOW had 2.5 stars when I was looking for a job 2 years ago. They are a contracting company with a lot of temporary employees, mediocre salary, no progression, etc... All of the sudden it is 4 stars now.

Not to mention that now in the app, clicking the "rating" tab no longer brings up company rating and reviews. It brings up the exact same information page as the company puts as their "about us" with founded, size, headquarters, etc...

Glassdoor is not a company review site anymore. It is a mediocre job posting board.
