I see!

Nah, no shame, it’s just that Jellyfin as a noncommercial solution is less mainstream, so if someone isn’t a permanent Lemmy resident, they may genuinely not know of its existence.

If Plex works for you, yay!

Plex

Plex has its own slew of issues and is known for enshittification. May I suggest Jellyfin instead?

Otherwise, listening in as well.

Similar idea was already mentioned in this thread and got disagreed with and downvoted into oblivion, so I assume this is controversial

See P.P.S and P.P.P.S

I see, so on top of that, it’s extra confusing because everyone means different things. I see the angle many trans people take, and that’s what I assumed initially.

Thanks for sharing!

someone politically progressive who happens to be a cishetero-passing white male, so it’s like everything I say is constantly under a microscope

Y E S.

An extremely toxic angle to a lot of progressives and especially the discriminated folks is automatically assuming everything to be evil once it comes out of cishet male’s mouth. Like, I get it, quite some people actually are discriminatory, but verifying the person’s intent before lashing out shouldn’t be too hard. Many, many times the person really didn’t mean anything bad.

Sometimes I genuinely wonder how much this toxicity contributes to the development of reactionary right-wing types, and the way they portray the left and progressives as a screaming crowd in search of another scapegoat.

Yeah, I see. I did get called out for using it as an adjective, though, which seemed particularly weird.

Generally, my rule of thumb is: if you can say “male” and it isn’t wrong/weird, you should be able to say “female” to the same effect. But practice shows it isn’t true.

Alright, as a non-native English speaker, I missed the part about “male” and “female” being strictly about AGAB.

The more I know!

(And no, I’m not a transphobe. If anything, this comes as an illustration that people may be less knowledgeable, not more evil)

Men are male

Women are female

Whoever complicated things by somehow making a perfectly normal term offensive is a giant asshole

P.S. but seriously, don’t just assume everyone using the word “female” and its derivatives is a jerk. People may not be aware of this odd shitstorm, and just use the word in its completely literal meaning, wishing no offence.

P.P.S. I stand corrected by the commenter below who mentioned terms “male” and “female” are related to AGAB, not gender. In terms of trans individuals and those whose gender is unknown, it makes sense to avoid their misuse.

P.P.P.S. Apparently, that too is debatable. I start to see why it makes sense to drop the words altogether, because it’s going to fire wrong either way.

Communism tends to not know what is actually needed to produce

It can know, the issue is delay. It’s trivial to make statistics of units sold and make predictions for what should be produced next. But any change in people’s needs will take a while to propagate to statisticians, and then to production. Having a more direct feedback from people is very handy.

Communism has problem on incentives

Yes. But also, communism is considered to be the end goal for a society that has been grown, through socialism, in the respect for labor and understanding what makes it essential. Basically, the idea is to carry, through the generations, the idea that everything around you was made by people and you need to take part as well. It’s probably not possible in the short term, but it’s not the goal to go straight to communism. It’s sort of the beacon, and idea of what society can transform to over long time. Socialism is the first step, and it does work.

Cucumbers were spiky, I assume

Basically, wait and see

If Dems actually get into action and go full Mamdani - exciting and inspiring, finally a massive hit to the authoritarian evil.

If they keep on giving up every bit of ground - not so much.

Speaks a lot about quality and necessity of research when AI already has all the answers.

Also I wonder if these people can be reasonably called scholars if they don’t have the actual knowledge.

Like, I know this doesn’t sit well with many Lemmy folks, but LLMs do have reasonable use in science. For example, they’re amazing at contextual search, they can find what I’m looking for even if it’s buried into walls of text of an obscure 2003 article as a sidenote. Combined with traditional search, this allows me as a junior scientist to better check what’s already been discovered, and identify real gaps of knowledge, not what I personally didn’t find.

They can also be useful when brainstorming concepts from the fields I had little experience with. Finding proper literature, breaking down jargon, and otherwise streamlining the study process. This allows to spend less time researching the widely known things on the subject, and dedicate more time to actual science, and also helps immensely with interdisciplinary research.

But that’s just that - finding well-known, long discovered things that you could miss. Any meaningful steps beyond it require strong grasp on the subject, and this only comes with processing everything through the actual brain. Miss that - and you’re just a machine parrot.

If I understand correctly, IMAP and email encryption are incompatible, so it’s one or the other. That’s why Proton needs Bridge in the first place.

Listening to people’s suggestions, too.

To the same vein: I can catch mosquitoes with one hand. Like, just grab them in my fist in the air.

I can, too!

This is actually very useful!

Amazon position might be right up your alley :)

Minecraft is also among the easiest games to pirate.
