If you were a rich man... What would you do?
  • I'd ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum.

  • BACK IT UP
  • I think the implications here is that the reasons it gets legalized can have an impact on the specifics of the policy.

    Could you elaborate on what you mean?

  • Elon Musk Admits X is Throttling Links — Effectively Limiting People From Reading News
  • Just write a description in the main post and put the link in the reply. This just stops lazy linking.

    I agree with Elon's sentiment in this (though sticking a link in a reply is kind've inelegant — imo, Lemmy would be better for this, as it has a separate title and body). This is something that bothers me on Lemmy; I'm not super fond of the practice of simply copy-pasting articles from news sites into posts; it feels very lazy and spammy. Lemmy is under no obligation to repeat the clickbait and misinformation that a news site may be compelled to use. When an article is shared, I think that it should, in general, be used as a source to back up a claim rather than the entire post itself. Posts should be human oriented rather than just an outlet for news spam.

  • Trudeau government to send $250 cheques to most people, slash GST on some goods
  • In principle, I agree with removal of a VAT; though, I would want it to be removed permanently (or, at least, permanently exempting more goods, eg food and other necessities) rather than temporarily. I personally see little benefit to the citizen from a VAT. The only real positive, and it's really quite a low bar imo, is that it can help account for tax-loopholes [1].

    The roll out of this announcement was very poorly done, imo. It seems that the federal government didn't consult with any of the premiers beforehand (many of whom are now complaining, and rightly so, imo, of lost revenues due to the HST) [2]. And it seems to be causing more of a headache to shop owners [3][4] which may offset any possible increase in profits over such a short period.

    I disagree with the $250 payout. While I think that it will help some people in the short term, it is far from an actual solution, and only serves to increase Canada's national debt — this is likely also compounded by the fact that Canada is temporarily lowering its tax revenue.

        A VAT Closes Tax Loopholes: Proponents argue that a VAT would not only greatly simplify the complex federal tax code and increase the efficiency of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) but also make it much more difficult to avoid paying taxes. A VAT would collect revenue on all goods sold in the United States, including online purchases.

  • Lemmings, how good or bad would you decribe your ability to remember things?
  • Recently, my life feels like a blur, like I dont really remember what happened even in the past 2 weeks, and this has cause me some anxiety. […] How much of your life do you remember, like do you only remember major events in your life, or do you remember like what you have been doing for the past 2 weeks. […]

    I experience the same sort of feelings. What I find helps me a little bit is to journal at the end of the night and document what I did during the day and what happened during the day. This helps me reflect and ground myself on what goes on around me. Instead of me just existing with events passively happening around me, it forces me to sort of anchor events to my life. Having this sort of stuff documented also allows me to reflect on it in the future.

  • Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right?
  • It's really unclear, to me, what these tables are even saying. What's each column?

  • BACK IT UP
  • And parents are held responsible if they give it to kids

    Imo, only if it can be proven that the parent is being willfully negligent regarding the safety the child.

    Also, if a product that claimed to be safe, but actually wasn't, was purchased and given to the child, then this responsibility should fall on the producer only.

  • Someone's going to learn about this the hard way
  • I’m not sure how one could fail to understand how an employer won’t do anything they’re not compelled to do by law (As evidenced by the very existence of OSHA, for one.) which would include good faith negotiation with a union.

    As long as the market is competitive and the agents involved are well-informed. Things like OSHA come in to play when the second requirement fails; if it is not possible for a consumer to make a well-informed purchase, then there should be reasonable protections in place for that consumer to make up for the deficiency.

  • Someone's going to learn about this the hard way
  • My point was concise and abundantly clear.

    I wasn't asking for your opinion of the clarity of your own post. All that's important in this conversation is that your point wasn't clear to me. If one is interested in continuing a conversation in good faith, then they would want to make sure that all parties involved are accurately following what's being said.

  • BACK IT UP
  • Yes, but it shouldn’t be legalized for the wrong reasons.

    This is kind of an interesting thought, imo. If one agrees with the resultant policy, does the rationale used to get there matter? Perhaps it does in principle, but I wonder if it matters in practice. The end result is the same.

  • Someone's going to learn about this the hard way
  • All people who display both a Gadsden flag and pro-union decals are necessarily idiots […]

    What's your rationale?

  • Someone's going to learn about this the hard way
  • All people who display both a Gadsden flag and pro-union decals are necessarily idiots

    So you aren't making a point about the Gadsden flag on its own?

  • Someone's going to learn about this the hard way
  • Either you're not answering the question, or I am entirely misunderstanding this entire thread. You said:

    I hate to say this but they’re tradesmen and not necessarily critical thinkers.

    To me, this comes off as extremely condescending — it reads like you are saying that people who are tradesmen are incapable of complex thought (ie critical thinking). I'm simply asking for you to explicitly clarify that statement. If my reading is incorrect, then how would you word it to make it more clear? How you reword it might clarify your intent and explain your following replies.


    They’re skilled workers who specialize in some very difficult jobs and had the good sense to unionize to prevent getting fucked too hard by owners and the management class.

    Is this statement clarifying the people that you think "aren't critical thinkers"?

  • Someone's going to learn about this the hard way
  • Are you saying that all people who display Gadsden flag are "resistant to learning"? If so, what is your rationale?

  • Someone's going to learn about this the hard way
  • I’m saying these tradesmen don’t stop to think that they’re voting against their best interest every time they suffer a major setback from a union busting Republican.

    What exactly do you mean by "these tradesman", though? I'm trying to determine if I correctly understood the intent behind your wording as being condescending towards tradesmen.

  • Someone's going to learn about this the hard way
  • I'm not sure I understand your point exactly. What exactly does the libertarian philosophy say about unions? A union is essentially just people who choose to associate with eachother and act as a single entity under an employer; in a free market, their bargaining power would be proportional to their size ­— its growth would impact the pool of potential employees that could be hired outside of the union. There could be, for example, laws in place which prevent a company from firing a union, which a libertarian would generally oppose, but a libertarian needn't necessarily oppose the concept of unions, imo.

  • These were found in Cascadia in mid-November. What are they?

    They were found in mid-november in the Salish Coast region of Cascadia. They were growing out of woodchips composed of a mixture of western hemlock (majority), and western red cedar.

    My initial thought was that they were Psilocybe cyanescens, but that's pretty much completely been confirmed as incorrect [1][2][3][4][5]. The current running theory is that they are Hypholoma dispersum[2][3]. What do you think they are?

    CMM: One should be allowed to put their own king into check, and one should be allowed to make moves that leave their king in check

    It would function simply: If a player puts their king into check on their own move, if the opponent sees it, they can capture the king on their turn either by physically taking out the king or announcing checkmate on their turn. If the opponent doesn’t see it, the game continues as normal. Likewise, if the opponent puts the king into check, both players can respond on their turn if they notice it, or it's simply a blundered opportunity.

    The classical checkmate ending can be seen as an honorable ending, wherein the player effectively resigns/surrenders, or the player can be dishonorable by drawing out the game by making one more move. I understand the redundancy of this type of ending, but it would add more personable nuance to the game.

    This idea can also be extended to stalemates: The only true stalemate would be one where a capturing of the king will not occur in a finite number of moves, e.g. move repetitions, or two sole kings on the board. A stalemate by trapping the king, ie the king has no alternative moves that wouldn’t put it into checkmate, should be a victory rather than a draw — the king would be forced to make a move into check, then the opponent would capture the king on their move if they notice the possibility.

    What is your skincare routine?

    I would like to know what your routine is in general, but I'm also specifically curious about what products you use, if you use them, and what the rationale is behind each product.

    My routine:

    Morning

    1. Rinse face with warm water.
    2. Scrub face and neck with warm, wet washcloth.
    3. Apply facial moisturizer with SPF (I use CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30) to face, neck, and hands.

    Evening

    1. Shower.
      • While in shower, scrub entire body with an exfoliating mitt (ie this one).
    2. Apply a retinol (I use Retin-A (tretinoin 0.05%)) to face, neck, and hands.
    3. Apply facial moisturizer (I use CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion) to face, neck, and hands
    4. Apply body lotion (I use CeraVe Moisturizing Cream) to whole body, excluding hands and face.

    I have used, and considered continuing using a BHA (also AHA?) liquid exfoliant (I have read that it shouldn't be used at the same time as retinol due to PH requirements, ie use it in the morning and retinol in the evening) (I previously used Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, but I no longer because I have lost trust in Paula's Choice overall due to their borderline false advertising regarding their retinol product [1]), but I am unsure of what a good product would be, and the rationale behind it. I have also heard about Vitamin E, though I've never used it.

    Do you have any advice for digitizing VHS tapes?

    I have a bunch of old VHS tapes that I want to digitize. I have never digitized VHS tapes before. I picked up a generic HDMI capture card, and a generic composite to HDMI converter. Using both of those, I was planning on hooking a VCR up to a computer running OBS. Overall, I'm rather ignorant of the process. The main questions that I currently have are as follows:

    • What are the best practices for reducing the risk of damaging the tapes?
    • Are there any good steps to take to maximize video quality?
    • Is a TBC required (can it be done in software after digitization)?
    • Should I clean the VCR after every tape?
    • Should I clean every tape before digitization?
    • Should I have a separate VCR for the specific purpose of cleaning tapes?

    Please let me know if you have any extra advice or recommendations at all beyond what I have mentioned. Any information at all is a big help.

    This is a bug in KDE Plasma [1.1][2]. It appears that it might be fixed in KDE Plasma v6.2 [1.2][3].

    Original Post

    I have noticed this behavior with Element and Signal while playing Deadlock. The game will have a pretty severe stutter, ie the frame-rate will substantially dip, for half a second or so at the exact moment that a message is received. It seems to happen with every message. Do note that these are only messages that would result in a system notification. All other messages that are silent, ie they have no pop-up notification, do not result in any stutter.

    • OS: Arch Linux, Kernel: v6.6.49-1-lts
    • DE: KDE Plasma v6.1.4
    • WM: Wayland
    • CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k
    • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600

    Updates

    • I have tried disabling this setting in Deadlock: !
    • I have tried windowed-borderless
    • I have noticed that the moment that the stutter occurs, my CPU spikes maybe 20% and my GPU drops to 0%.

There's a new API in 6.2 that effects can use though, https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/6203, which blocks direct scanout only when really necessary. It's implemented for all built in effects, and external javascript effects automatically make use of this API too.

    Do Creative Commons licenses require one to reference the license when citing a licensed work if one is quoting content from that work?

    Solution

    It turns out that quotes fall under "fair-use" [4][5], so technically one isn't required to even give attribution to the source of the quote; however, in practical purposes, this means that there are simply no restrictions on how one cites a quote.

    Original Post

    Creative Commons licenses require that credit be given to creator of a work [1]. This is stated as: > Attribution — You must give appropriate credit , provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made . You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use. [2]

    "Appropriate credit" is defined as: > appropriate credit — If supplied, you must provide the name of the creator and attribution parties, a copyright notice, a license notice, a disclaimer notice, and a link to the material. CC licenses prior to Version 4.0 also require you to provide the title of the material if supplied, and may have other slight differences. [2]

    This seems to be stating that if you, say, quote content from a CC licensed work, when you cite it, say, with MLA or APA, you'll have to also include a copyright notice, a license notice, and a disclaimer notice. This seems like way too much for a simple citation. MLA claims that you don't need to include the license [3], so I'm not entirely sure what is legally expected.
