Instead of minutia, I’m just going to mention the few reasons that really sold me on containers.

• Security: Being able to host external services that only have access to the folders I map to it.

• Compartmentalization: I can specify exactly what resources I want to limit/control for each individual service. I.E. stacking a VPN on top of services for a 100% guaranteed Killswitch.

• Automation: Docker is an incredible tool for automatically restarting services whenever they hit a snag and keeping your services up to date with the latest version.

I think you’re forgetting that the supernatural is but another theory, put forth by humans, to explain our existence. It doesn’t earn bonus points for being unobservable. I’ve seen 0 evidence supporting it, contrary to how many questions particle physics has solved.

I’ve simply stated that we can’t draw statistics about things for which we have no evidence - which you now seem to be agreeing with.

I’ve posited quite the opposite of this. If there are two opposing theories, with one substantiated and one not, then the substantiated one is more likely. For example: you wouldn’t say that a chicken’s offspring being implanted in an egg by cosmic rays is just as likely as the egg being fertilized before it was laid because the latter is substantiated while the former has yet to have any observable truth.

I’d say 99% is a completely fair probability as the ratio of something to nothing approaches infinity.

we don’t yet have evidence pertaining to any hypothesis for how it was created

I just gave you some? I don’t know about you, but humans being able to replicate the exact particle that originated matter is a profound bit of evidence towards the universe not being a product of some higher power to me.

They aren’t immeasurable. The reason you think I’m making a different argument to your point is that you’re asking for every negative proof. This is never going to provide an answer, as it would be a competition to dispel the imagination.

Hypotheses and positive proofs are slowly answering the question of why we’re here. We know that evolution is likely, DNA is irrefutable evidence. We know that it’s likely our known universe began with a singularity because of the background microwave radiation accelerating away from a point of origin. We know the field and corresponding particle that gave matter its properties from the particle acceleration tests by CERN.

It becomes a much different question when one is not only seeking answers that fit their beliefs.

Considering that the overwhelming majority of religions out there are creationists, yes we are.

The mere fact that humans are 1% removed from apes serves to undermine creationism in general.

Eh, we can prove that human DNA is 99% primate and that there was no great flood. Seems unlikely to me.

I completely agree that’s what this basically boils down too. ST was an interesting concept I read about once and only briefly recalled twice since. Nothing more. This could be a valid criticism of individuals putting more stock into the idea but for anyone else it’s a reach.

The belief system built around God affects me every single day of my life. I have family that are hardcore Christians that pester me about it regularly. Approximately half of the political ideologies being pushed in my country center around Christian dogma.

Honorable mentions: Foreign and domestic terrorism threat and future wars being incited.

I’d say so

• plucked from poverty and slavery, despite his mother remaining helpless, by a Jedi that was a part of an order that ultimately saw him as an unscrupulous means to an end of maintaining their power

• he felt as though he could make a bigger difference than he was allowed if stated order relinquished their attempt at controlling him

• this feeling was vindicated by his mother’s torture and subsequent death

• had his previously instilled beliefs challenged by two men he respected

• incredibly strong motivation to go against the Jedi’s wishes to save the one person he valued more than life itself

JFC that joke went over my head like a B-2. Whoops 🤦

Edit: I deserve that downvote for not getting the joke lol

I find this both humourous and troubling D:

Brother, we’re on the same team. There’s a Debian distro on nearly all of my computers. I was just trying to add a bit of nuance to the conversation and bridge the divide. We don’t have to be enemies.

Edit: I’ve been had. Bamboozled, even.

That’s very true! I would’ve loved this option in my formative years back before developing all the bad habits lol

I must forget everything I know about computing. 🥋

I feel like I’m going to get flak for taking a position that’s not completely anti-Windows, but please try to hear me out before casting judgment. I use both OS and think they both have merit. Linux- for the reasons listed in the meme, and windows- for those without the technical know-how, patience, or time for the better alternative.

That being said, if anyone thinks like how this Ed, Edd, N’ Eddy looking mofo in the meme does I’ll be the first to say that’s a horribly bad take lol

Of course it is. There’s 0 reason to come after anyone for choosing Linux as any, if at all, of the extra effort incurred is only going to affect them personally.

Edit: Not even a single flak in the comments, the happiest I’ve ever been to stand corrected. We’ve done it, world peace achieved.

I guess I disagree that an office, or someone’s home office is considered a public space.

(15) Public official

The term “public official” means any elected official, appointed official, or employee of- (A) a Federal, State, or local unit of government in the United States other than- (i) a college or university; (ii) a government-sponsored enterprise (as defined in section 622(8) of this title);

I’m not intending this as a ‘gotchya’, I’m arguing that these are public servants that handle matters of public interest. The location is not important to me, and other than this fringe ‘remote’ case we’re talking about public, tax-funded buildings.

State employees aren’t actively gunning people down in the streets, unless they are cops. I think it’s a very big difference. I think you need the accountability that a body cam provides on someone who can literally end lives in seconds.

And I believe that you need accountability for people that can withhold records that could potentially save you from a life of false imprisonment. To me this is not a significant enough of a difference for me to feel the need to justify it.

I’m not sure violating privacy rights is the way to go about restoring civil rights.

violating the privacy rights of office workers

This is where our disagreement won’t be reconciled. There is no expectation of privacy in public. Until the Supreme Court overturns their decision this is not the public’s problem.

Body cams are because police have authority and are interacting with the public.

State employees at any level have authority to abuse, it’s just a very large range.

For example, there have been known cases of county clerk employees refusing to file FOIA requests on completely fabricated precedent. If I’m being charged with something, there should not be any barrier between me and the public records that exonerate me.

This example is just the tip of the iceberg.

Edit: Also just because I failed to bring this up, I wanna add something about this:

Office workers working on information that is often likely PII, thus violating the privacy right of citizens too,

When you FOIA request records, they’re always going to have a chance to censor private information. This comes up all the time with license plates and address on IDs in bodycam footage. It’s the same thing.

I get the concern, believe me. If it weren’t absolutely necessary (IMO) I wouldn’t be suggesting it.

But doesn’t it feel ethically wrong that people are having their civil rights violated by corrupt city officials and their cohorts?

Think about what a difference body cams made for police conduct. It’s more difficult to abuse any power you hold when you can be held accountable for it

Alrighty there bud. You have yourself a terrific day. Try not to forget to breathe. 😁

Just so we’re clear BTW:

The law does not require retail or food service companies that make food to order to give ingredient lists or allergy warnings to customers. That means any restaurant, cafe or food cart that makes food to order does not need to give you the ingredients list

Source: Any.

Past, present, or future- it doesn’t matter. People need to eat. Suggesting that people just don’t go to restaurants is as helpful as suggesting people just don’t go to grocery stores. That’s why this fact:

restaurants hardly ever list their recipe as it is proprietary.

is doing a great job of convincing me that it is actually impossible, and if I’m honest you’ve said nothing to convince me otherwise. I think that’s the disconnect.

I’m not going to stop going to restaurants. Don’t get me wrong, I hate Nestle as much as the next lemming, but restaurants are not something I’m ever going to be able to cut out of my life completely. And I’m willing to bet my life on this being true for a lot of people.

0/3

Positing a claim =! positing a source. That’s 0/2.
