I guess they meant "beyond repair if you don't have access to a live boot USB or the means to create one". Gotta remember who this warning is meant for. For those kind of users, "beyond repair" might technically be true.

Dude, you are in a million years battle with other organisms trying to exploit and kill you, and you're fucking winning. I would call that a blazing success. The other organisms are trying their literal best, their survival depends on it, and you just KEEP. ON. WINNING.

Would be my question as well. It seems quite obvious that if you participate in publicly viewable discussion, that the stuff you do is publicly viewable.

If you don't want it associated to your physical person, use a VPN and unidentifiable account name.

(And the statement "at least reddit is safe" seems absolutely ridiculous to me.)

What I guess I don't get with this advice is, if you have the ability to save $X per week, why do you need to know about your headphones, why don't you just save $X a week?

I understand that people seem to generally use up their expendable income immediately, but for me, I simply saved whenever I didn't need to buy something. So in the background, without even thinking about it, money just accumulates. And then, when my headphones break, I just use some of that money that accumulated for headphones.

That obviously only works if you have expendable income. But that's what the original advice requires anyway, it requires this ability of $2 savings per week, so the expendable income is already obviously there.

I just feel like it's so much work to do this for every single thing, when instead you could just simply save whatever is "over" your survival needs, and then draw from that fund whenever necessary without thinking about each item individually.

I think the best way to get better at programming is to

  1. Write programs that you actually want to make
  2. Whenever you run into a hard part, first try to do it yourself
    1. Once you succeed or fail, research the problem and see how others solved it
    2. Always look up words/concepts you don't understand while researching and don't stop until you understand
  3. Repeat

If you like, you can also just read some books or scour some programming related communities for general info, without some specific goal. However, most people don't have the motivation to do that, because they don't know what that information is good for yet. That's why, for most people in my opinion, it's better to just try to do something and then learn (better) ways of doing what you want, because then you actually immediately get what it's good for and why you'd need it.

As a formerly insecure person, just offer to teach them if they want, and then never mention it again. Once they're ready to get over their insecurity, they will contact you, or not.

It kinda depends how you define "a day". The usual standard colloquial definition we use would be a "solar day", i.e. how long it takes for it to go dark and light once each, i.e. noon to noon.

The definition you're using in this post though is a "sidereal day", which if you just say "a day" no one would mean, thus this post is misleading. A sidereal day is how long a planet needs to spin around itself.

A Venus "solar (normal) day" (like we normally use the phrase "day") is 116.75 earth days, while a Venus year is 224.7 earth days. The "sidereal day" that you're talking about here is 243 earth days long. So a day on Venus is actually shorter than a year on Venus, at least if you use our usual definition of "day".

Since Venus itself spins opposite to its orbit around the sun, its own spin together with its orbiting around the sun add up together to make the "solar (normal) day" shorter.

An Earth sidereal day is 23 hours 56 minutes while its solar day is 24 hours long. Here, the sidereal day is shorter than the solar day, because the Earth spins in the same direction as its orbit.

This all stems from a fundamental misunderstanding that no one seems to be interested in clearing up.

The original post that brought the allegations of feddit being zionist to more people is this one, and the one that originated the allegations is this one.

The feddit.org admin inside explicitly states that the removal of the comment being talked about by the original thread is not about pro-zionism or anti-semitism.

Now what does the person claim it is about? That seems to be majorly ignored. Let me rephrase it in my own words.

In Germany, after national socialism, we have very strict rules on how you are allowed to talk about it, because there were unfortunately a lot of people still denying it or not believing it. One of those rules is that no statement may be made that makes national socialism seem better than it was. So something you can't say for example is "Trump's ICE is national socialism!". This seems extremely weird from an outside (the person saying it's) perspective, because obviously, yes, the tactics Trump uses are directly borrowed from national socialism.

However, if you look at national socialism as a whole, it was much worse than just ICE. Millions were killed etc.

Now, the person who makes the statement "Trump's ICE is national socialism!" is obviously using it to express that ICE is terrible. But if you want to look at it from a certain way (which German law likes to do) it's also saying that they're roughly equal, which, since Trump and ICE is currently not quite at the level of full national socialism, would minimize the severity of national socialism by bringing it "down" to the same level as the Trump regime and ICE.

Obviously, from a perspective of a person today, this seems ridiculous, because the current threat is ICE and not national socialism, so who cares about "how national socialism is talked about exactly"?! Isn't it much more important to make sure that ICE is taken appropriately seriously? And you would of course be right. But the stance is that the ends do not justify the means, and it is very much possible to fight against ICE without comparing it to the whole of national socialism.

This is what is being talked about by the mods/admins. It has nothing to do with either anti-semitism or anti-zionism.

Now, if you say something like "Trump's ICE resembles early national socialism!", that is a completely fine statement to make in the eyes of the law. You are actually comparing ICE to what it actually is, "early [stages of] national socialism", and not "national socialism [in general]".

Feelings are running high, even as I type these words, I can imagine it. But please try to think about this stance for a moment and try to see that it is not Trump ICE apologist, or trying to minimize what ICE is doing. It is simply trying to pay heed to two important issues at the same time, of which one has much more immediacy and current real impact on people's lives than the other.

I used this ICE example on purpose because it is even nearer than the genocide in Gaza. And because it is farther away from "full national socialism style genocide". I hope I could make the thinking in this example clear, and I hope at least a modicum of rationality can be attributed to this.

And now let's go back to the original zionist accusations. The original comment was removed because of the last part of it, which said "Providing material support to Israel is no different from providing material support to Nazi Germany". As much as people don't want to see it, the situation in Gaza is actually different than the situation in Nazi Germany. The Jewish population in Nazi Germany never launched rockets at Germans, in fact, jewish people in Nazi Germany were exceptionally peaceful. In Gaza, there is genocide happening, there is a power differential, and Palestinians need to fight back, but there is simply no rational denying that it's not the same as the genocide in Nazi Germany.

Obviously what is happening in Gaza is terrible and Israel needs to be condemned, but what they're doing is still not on the same level of evil as Nazi Germany. And thus you could argue that comparing the situation in Gaza to national socialism is minimizing the severity of national socialism. And thus the same kind of argument applies as in the previous example with ICE, it just is even less understandable for a person who didn't know/understand/agree with this argument.

I'm basically sure I'll be condemned as a zionist now, or whatever, go ahead.

Don't do shit like "lemmy etiquette". Just follow human etiquette and be a pleasant human and everything will be fine.

Also stop worrying so much about "doing anything bad". Sometimes you fuck up, sometimes you upset people, it's no big deal.

The logic chain is not that simple and stops where you say. Why get income? Why would there be a need for "income"? What is income? Why does it need to be "a job" for 8 hours? And so on.

If you completely illuminate the issue, you'll likely find that no, you don't really understand the logic of "doing job for 8 hrs = get income".

I mean to be fair, that's how prison is supposed to work. Rehabilitate the person so after, they're fit to become a normal member of society again.

Of course, that's only the theory of a few enlightened people...
