Compliance does need to be considered. The company I work for is trying extremely hard to comply, but because of complexities and ambiguities in the law, it is difficult to find out how to comply. I don’t know all the details, but I know legal, compliance, and the data engineering teams spend a lot of time figuring out how to be compliant and there aren’t always clear answers.
That said, the solution is not to roll back protections but to be very explicit about how to comply.
It stops taking as much effort eventually. Then you can tune out the noise and think about stuff. Or it never does because everyone is different, I guess, but then you just do what you have to do.
That’s true. But finding inner quiet is an even more necessary skill in those situations. But, I’m autistic (only mildly), so I totally get if the stimulation is just too much. Though I went through a lot of discomfort to be okay in environments like that.
It’s good to enjoy quiet and not be constantly surrounding yourself with noise. It’s an important skill to be able to sit in silence and not rely on external stimulation to feel okay.
Nice. I’ve been wanting to get into baguettes. I didn’t realize initially how much baking stuff I’d end up “needing” to get lol.
Oh really? Thats wild - does it not rise too much? Do you live in a refrigerator?
Very cool. I’ve not really done poolishes before - though I’ve done focaccia so I guess that’s similar. Any particular thing you’re trying to make with the poolish? Or just trying to do different boules?
Nice. Do you have a recipe you’ve been liking?
Mine is a 1:2:3 ratio, 3hr rise on counter with a couple rounds of stretch and folds, then a 16ish hr cold fermentation cycle, then bake in a dutch oven on 260c for 30 minutes covered 20 uncovered.
I don’t have a pic, but turns out pretty good. Trying to get it more sour, though.
Did you just make that bread? If so, how’d it turn out? If not, I want bread too.
It does not. The legal system has essentially lost the ability to be a check on the power of the executive branch. Partly because of the capture of the judiciary and regulatory bodies by right-wing extremists and partly because of the speed at which the executive branch is acting illegally - it takes time to build cases and the jsutice system can’t keep up.
Very poorly. I ruminate on them for literally decades and have frequent anxiety attacks. I’m working on it, though. I’ve begun studying & practicing Buddhism and have found it very helpful.
It was… uhhh… un tas de merde fumant
Ad hominem fallacy. The person who has been exposed for various things, instead of trying to refute the argument of the accuser (e.g. “they’re misrepresenting the facts”, “I couldn’t have done that here’s an alibi”)
… they just make their own accusations to make others mistrust their accuser. All of the examples you listed were ad hominem attacks against your friend.
Man the “miracles” he “performed” to get beatified are so fucking thin its ridiculous even for the church. Some kids were supposedly cured of disease after their moms prayed to him. Like…thats it. No jesus image on toast, no statues weeping blood. Just some ladies say they prayed to this random kid and one touched his shirt and their kids happened to get better from some illnesses.
That was my first reaction. Using LLMs is a lot like being a manager. You have to describe goals/tasks and delegate them, while usually not doing any of the tasks yourself.
What I like most about Lemmy is not feeling like I’m being exploited. It’s pretty refreshing being a part of what is essentially a voluntary organization without any corporate interests trying to milk users for profit.
That’s…uhhh…why I’m here
Death’s Door on switch. It’s a cute little soulslike where you play a crow who reaps souls. It has good gameplay and a nice style.
Short answer: Many people support those governments critically or uncritically for various reasons.
Long answer:
Russia: Some people who oppose US hegemony support Russia as probably the most effective anti-US actor globally - I mean look at what they’ve managed (in part) to do to the US government over the last 10 years or so. They may also be sympathetic to Russian anti-NATO sentiment. People who support China may also critically support Russia since they are a strategic ally of China. Some people just full-throatedly support Russia uncritically - I don’t know why they’re quite so enthusiastic, but most others who have pro-Russian sentiment are still critical of Russia, but support them as a major power capable of attacking US hegemony.
China: China is the most successful communist country to have ever existed. Many left-leaning people may support China to varying degrees because they are an Actually Existing Socialist country and because their model of Communism with Chinese Characteristics seems to work quite well for them. Due to the West (broadly) attacking Socialist governments in the name of Liberalism & becoming increasingly more fascistic, China could be an important bulwark against fascism. Many people support China uncritically - they genuinely like the Chinese system of government and want their governments to be more like China’s. Other people critically support China - they believe China’s government is problematic in some way(s), but support it anyway as a bastion of socialism and a significant challenger to US economic & political hegemony.
As for support for the governments as opposed to the people: We kind of have to talk about these things at the country level, since governments are the (imperfect) embodiments of political ideologies and collectively act on behalf of the people within their borders, and “the people” aren’t monolithic. We often treat countries as avatars of political ideologies which is inaccurate but is an abstraction that unfortunately often leads to an oversimplification of the ideologies behind & effects of those governments’ actions while allowing us to create a comprehensible narrative.

take your open chip bag
fold the top of the bag down about 2cm/1in. Do this 2 more times.
take the corners of the folded part and fold them toward the middle of the rolled part at an angle
the tricky part. We are going to invert the cuff we’ve made - like flip the folded part inside out. Push those corners in and flip the folded part over them.
