Unpopular opinion but wine.
From my experience majority of people can’t distinguish between 5€ wine and 500€ wine. And even if they do, they say it tastes “a bit better”, not worth the 495€ difference. Pick one that tastes good to you and don’t be ashamed if it’s cheap.
I’m not a US citizen but I’d say if you don’t like US overthrowing governments all around the world, then you should be double concerned it happening to your country. Those data are really powerfull tool for such thing and they have been used for it in case of Brexit. It’s quite shocking to compare a foreign superpower with an advertising company and put it on the same level.
It’s NOT Lupus
A classmate of mine from elementary school is a professional voleyball player. She traveled the world, played for teams in Europe, Middle east and Asia. Eventually she settled in the exact same village as me on the completely oposite side of the country from where we grew up. I didn’t even know until my wife told me that one of our neighbours was born in the same town as me
There’s a new trend with immutable distros and they have some pros and cons. OP’s stance apparently is that they’re the future
When it comes to Christmas movies my most favorite ones are:
I’m with you but I get it that sometimes it’s convenient. My wife likes what we call “cup recipes” in baking where everything is measured in cups/glasses (this was a new thing couple of years ago where I live). It’s very fast and convenient.
But yes, it gets out of hand. I mean “a cup of celery”? … How? Why?
9gag, they also have 816. Is this where the screenshot is from?
Citroen Saxo, everything was SO cheap. I remember I had to replace a side mirror and a new one was like … 30€? And I was able to do it myself.
Replacing a side mirror on my Octavia was almost 500€!
I mean, probably not equally but isn’t it sort of true?
Wait, oh no. No, no no no no no Lemmy no! I can explain! No! Don’t hurt downvote me!
True Unpopular opinion, I respect that.
But … eh yes, I just disagree. I know it’s like 2 days after your post but I just need to spill this out.
So I’m not a software architect but I’m interrested in software architecture. And the thing is, very rarely I’ve seen the blockchain being used during a system design. And the reason I’d say is, it doesn’t have that many benefits. Actually I can think of just one - the data ownership. The fact that no one owns the data (i.e. they have no single dedicated storage) is actually nice. But the thing is … this isn’t really needed in vast majority of scenarios. And on the other hand, it introduces several very crucial disadvantages. Like
So I take all those arguments and when I hear “Medical records could be on blockchain!” and I’m like who the fuck would want this?! I absolutely do not want that anyone could access my medical records as long as they know my medical record ID. I can imagine that those records could be encrypted by f.e. AES. But at that point I could store those data anywhere. I could store it on server of evil-corporation-101 and even they couldn’t decrypt it.
So that leads me to the conclusion who really needs a blockchain? And what’s the benefit of it against f.e. a huge MongoDB cluster? I mean really, if you’re about data integrity and security, just fork some NOSQL database and add what you need. Or am I completely out of touch here? I’m open to learn and I’m definitely open to better understand the benefits of blockchain because that’s a puzzle for me for years
Hi, first of all sorry for all the downvotes and people not telling you why - c/asklemmy is meant for more generic, openended questions. If you need help, then try one of the programming communities or maybe stackoverflow.com. Not sure how many such communities we have on Lemmy but I’m sure we can find some
Edit - to people downvoting, don’t be dicks, we aren’t on reddit anymore 🙂 We’re relatively small group of people here, try to be helpful instead and suggest the right communities 👍
Yeah, well maybe you should put this into your graph as a choice. You might not like it but Ubuntu still has a major support for anything Linux related. Any manufacturer or software development - if they support Linux, there is a high chance that they mean basically Ubuntu, quite often they tested it just there. This is a HUGE advantage for any beginner.
Beginners don’t care about behind the curtain stuff, they just want things to work. And you might not like Canonical but Ubuntu does this
Counted calories, ate less, reduced sugar, flour and potato consumption. No exercise.
Exercising has a lot of health benefits and helps with loosing weight but food consumption is the most important.
Eventually I started running but this was after I lost weight. If exercising demotivates you, don’t force it
Can someone list those piracy subscription services so we can avoid them as responsible citizens?
I’m just going to comment on work life - the truth is, the older I get the less I care about things like appearance. Depends on the profession of course but for f.e. office work - people don’t care. Especially not if it’s for medicall purpose (they could even have a problem with HR). I meam look at the older colleagues, they themselves look like shit, they don’t care.
But I remember my mid 20s and I was exactly the same, now I look back and it’s a bit funny. It’l be good, go for the braces :)
That’s ok u/TacoButtPlug
I’m into genealogy so my idea always was that before I go, I’d like to left something about me on some genealogy website like familysearch.org . Now bear in mind that the website is owned by some Mormon church but it’s huge. Afaik you can put quite a lot in there (not just birth date) although I personally never executed my plan of putting that much info in there (I’m a bit afraid that my info will be missused or cause problems for me or my children but once I’m gone it won’t matter that much). I don’t know if it’s right for you but there is this option. Maybe someone somewhere will make a family tree and say, hey, there was this distant relative of mine and this is their story
I just use stove glass cleaner
So true, put this on a tea cup!
