1) This is horrifying and shouldn't happen to anybody.

2) You have to be an idiot to visit currently. The rule of law is now nothing more than guidelines and Trump and his ilk have publicly stated they alone can decide what's right or wrong.

Edit: Somebody fucking explain. She tried to cross the border on the 25th, 5 days after Trump's presidency started and after he started rounding up and deporting people.


3) Read the article


Be specific. I did read the article. She's stuck with ICE and nobody in charge gives a shit. Did you read the article? Tell me the part of the article that changes the fact that going to the US today is moronic. You realize she tried to cross the border on the 25th? 5 days after Trump's presidency started and 4 days after Trump started rounding up and deporting illegal immigrants. Or is that too difficult for you to understand?


"Grab her by the pussy" Trump and "childless cat ladies" JD Vance aren't really people to listen to on what statements are inappropriate.


Many people have been helped and are helped by SSRIs today. I wouldn't be here today without SSRIs. And while CBT was a huge factor in why I'm largely a healthy, productive adult now, CBT wouldn't have done anything for me without an SSRI to help regulate my emotions first.

It's easy to look at studies and say "this shit doesn't work" (despite there being plenty of studies that show they're clearly effective and they're one of the best treatments we have). But when you talk to people taking it, clearly there are way too many that benefit from them to just say we need to stop prescribing them. That's just deciding due to your own biases that countless people need to suffer unnecessarily. Why? Why would you want to do this to people? Or do you not actually care about the suffering or wellbeing of the people affected and you just have this vague idea of "SSRIs bad"?

I spent a lot of time reading studies before going on SSRIs to decide whether it was worth it. The literature unambiguously said that SSRIs are absolutely a valid form of treatment that can help (even though it won't help everybody). Who are you to say they're horseshit?


I don't know how to degoogle at this point. 90% of my registered accounts across the internet are with my Gmail account because I didn't want them tied to my private email.


One at a time.

If you have the time and are interacting with the account, take the second to change it away from gMail. Insisting on doing them all immediately is setting up a Herculean task that'll almost certainly leave you demoralized. This gets your most-used (and presumably most important) accounts first,and feels much smaller and more manageable.

After 6 (or 18, whenever) months of this you can summon some motivation to change over the last 20 accounts and be done with it.


You should probably spend some time on changing that. The only thing keeping me inside the Google ecosystem is my university and I hate that since they are paying for it anyway, so it makes absolutely no sense if not for it being the lazy way of doing things. Why choose to be lazy when it's clearly doing more harm than good? I managed to install android with microg and it has worked flawlessly for 4 years now. There are many options to do this of course, but they all require a lot of time to set up. Still a better alternative than being locked up under Google.


Years ago, when I saw the invitation "Sign in with your Google account" popping up on every site, I suspected it was a trap to hold users hostage. Take a private email address and move away from Gmail one service at time.


There's an entire subreddit dedicated to helping people degoogle. One of the hardest things to get rid of is Google Maps as there's no real alternative that's as good.

I haven’t touched Google maps in ages - I use Apple Maps which is decent these days (not the dumpster fire it was at launch - and even so, I used it back then, if only to de google a bit).

If the point is to avoid US companies this won’t be useful, but if the point is to avoid Google specifically, it is an option.


Open Street Map has come a long way. It's no Google Maps, but it's serviceable.


I think increase in userbase and donations will eventually make it better. We just have to show up for them.


My family has <ourlastname>.com that we registered in 1996, but for email, I mostly use my own mail-related domain name (<word>mail.com), which I use for all pseudonymous accounts.


It's more that it's perfectly happy sending all 600w over a single wire if the resistance on the other wires is high enough. Since there's a single point of connection to the card and a single shunt, there's no way to do load balancing like when there used to be two or even three 8 pin cables.


The most useful part of Jellyfin is on-the fly transcoding to whatever bit rate I want at any particular time, no matter where I might be. I've watched stuff off my server on a train with terrible connectivity by setting it to 360p. If you only watch at home, then it's probably not that useful to you. I also like all the library features and tracking my per episode watch history for shows.


I'm not sure why it wouldn't work with the apps? I have my jellyfin server behind a CF tunnel and I can access it in the Android app by my domain.


Oh I see. I confused Cloudflare Tunnel with Cloudflare Access.

Yes Cloudflare Tunnel can work with Jellyfin apps, but: 1) this exposed your Jellyfin to the world, and you are one vulnerable away to get owned, and 2) like other sibling posts mentioned, this is against their ToS to host streaming service on free plan on their platform.


Why would the state pay to fund FAIR? It's just a pool of insurers required to provide fire insurance and it's paid for by insurance customers. Even if the state had $100 billion surplus, why would it be justifiable to use it on FAIR as opposed to the countless other ways the money could be used to help Californian residents? It would effectively be like taxing Californians to pay for homeowner fire insurance. Is that fair?


I think a lot of people are sort of missing the benefit of something like this.

How do you read a book effectively? You skim the table of contents. You skim the contents of each chapter and mark interesting paragraphs. Then you go through the book another 1-2 times, each time getting deeper into the text and cross-referencing information between different parts of the book.

What tools like this will do is allow us to apply this same workflow to videos, which can greatly enhance our understanding of videos we're interested in and help us contextualise it with the rest of our knowledge.

I've already been doing this and it's helped me expand my knowledge and understanding in ways that wouldn't have been possible without an unreasonable investment of time and effort.


Meanwhile, Google gets hit with the anti-competitive judgment and Apple gets off by way of being more anti-competitive. Wild, isn't it?
