It’s good in the sense that it’s the last version before it got enshittified by ads, but the now nearly-legendary v2.2.1 is also 5 years behind in security patches. It was an awesome, fast, stable client and I miss it, but I don’t think it’s worth the risk. Like you and everyone else has been saying, OP should be using Qbittorent.

I just read that README, quite sobering. Now I’m thinking of bus scenario backup plans. Like, there’s stuff that is eventually gonna stop working if left unattended too long, and you just assume you’re gonna be around to maintain it, you know?

I know, right? That is some frickin Lord Farquaad shit. What a dickhead!

Alligator. Chewier than chicken. Tasted kinda like chicken. Would try again, I guess.

Also had ostrich burgers a couple of times. I’m told I was shitfaced and enjoyed them immensely, but I couldn’t tell you for sure, for I was shitfaced.

Jesus Christ, you weren’t kidding. One of the recommended videos for me was “Why the crusades were completely justified!” Yeah, fuck that crazy shit.

It’s just the kids reading her books 20 years ago didn’t recognize all the problematic shit she wrote till they grew up.

Adult here who was an adult when the books came out and recognized all the awful racist and sexist imagery. I have nothing new to add to the conversation, I’m just gonna vent. There were quite a few of us here and there who spoke up when the books were published, but we were significantly outnumbered and immediately drowned out by the “shut up and stop complaining” crowd. Yes, all this talk of “problematic” issues in the Potter books are old observations we’ve been rehashing for two decades…the goblins who run the banks are a horrifyingly obvious Jewish caricature, Chinese character Cho Chang’s first name is actually a Korean last name, the one black guy in the whole fuckin series is named “Shacklebolt” (seriously wtf), the one Irish character goes by “Seamus Finnegan,” the main female character Hermione is constantly referred to as “bossy”…just to name a few. JFC, what a shitshow.

Ok, one more example that got a lot of attention years back but sort of faded away from public consciousness: in the first movie there’s a bigass six-pointed star on the fuckin floor of Gringotts, of all places. You know, Gringotts. The bank…where the undeniably Jew-like goblins work. No fuckin shit, it’s right there, plain as day. That one still boggles my mind. I mean, what the fuck, man. https://i.postimg.cc/Jzx2hr31/happry-potter-1-star-of-david-gringotts.png

EDIT: Hey everyone, it’s been abuot an hour now and I just want to apologize for all this negativity. I’ve given this a lot of thought, and I’ve come to realize all the anti-this and anti-that complaints are really unfair and show only one side of JK Rowling. So I feel compelled to balance this out and remind everyone that she is also pro-slavery. Especially the kind of slavery that forces its slaves to work completely naked, and no one in the book has a problem with it except for the bossy lib girl that everyone hates.

And that too.

Bandcamp’s U.S. employees, who launched a union that went public earlier this year, announced early in October that they had sent a letter to Songtradr outlining a list of demands around the sale of the company

JFC, brutal response.

They just laid off half their staff

Edit: after they got bought out. Hooray capitalism! https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/half-of-bandcamps-staff-laid-off-after-songtradr-acquisition/ar-AA1ijuTX

FFS lol, why don’t we skip the pedantry and just call it Gary already

Holy shit, good for you, lemmy.world. Was wondering if it would ever happen.

Jesus fucking christ

This is terrible, I love it.

yeah, you gotta post em if you have more

It’s insane that people defend the CCP.

They’re already here, in this thread. Guess what instance they’re from.

They’re joking. It’s the “I use Arch btw” meme

Programming I really don’t see myself doing but I do admit having some curiosity towards python, going for years, but I really don’t know where to start to approach it.

You’ll probably want to start small at first (random number generator, calculator, tic-tac-toe), but eventually you could create an app that would help you with your business. IDK, just thinking out loud, maybe inventory management or a system maintenance tool?

My background is not on STEM and I was always passed the notion that without roots in hard math I can’t go far in programming.

I made that mistake years ago and have always regretted it. I mean, I’m doing just fine now, but that fear of math really did me no favors in life. I really wish I had pursued a CS degree.

Wait. This rings a bell, was there also an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression on this mp3?

You’re telling me “graf” is standard language for published articles?

And its unabbreviated form, “nut graf.” Like, it’s a legit thing. I mean…wow. Nut graf.

For availability, yes, but RAID is not a substitute for proper backup procedures. E.g. - offsite, cloud, or automated scheduled local backups, or even regular data integrity checks.

It’s so melodramatic, it sounds like a child’s attempt at satire. Like, try saying that out loud and not cringing.
