The poster explicitly calls out Facebook and the risk of getting pulled into a life-ruining web of conspiracy theorists as a reason for not pressing charges:

> A recognition that doing so would be putting a target on me, my family, my colleagues and my hospital for all of the violent Q-Anon people. The arrest would be local and possibly national news. It would subject these children to deep pain. Worse, though, it would hit Facebook, and within no time, my name, my kids' names, and my wife's name would be all over their sites. All of us would be threatened. These people are unpredictable, but seem to crave violence. I don't want to be responsible for one of my colleagues being shot in the parking lot because I became a national symbol of Q-Anon hospital violence.

> Is it possible you have some very specific requirements that no one else does?

No. Recording meetings may be a form of procrastination for you, but recordings can be valuable for a bunch of reasons. Tools like Otter and Gong make it trivial to transcribe and scan meetings, and to jump to associated audio if need be.

> They just pay attention and take notes the first time through.

Some of us are running those meetings, are focused on the conversation instead of note-taking, and don't have extra staff for note-taking.
People used to throw chicken pox parties to infect their kids at a young age because, while there is some risk to the young, it's much more dangerous to get chicken pox as an older person.

Do you know any other diseases where there's virtually no risk to young children but very high risk to the elderly?
> Your use case seems to be unusual, an old FAQ entry suggests that i3wm users prefer text-based file managers:

This is an old NAS that I don't really use much.

It's true though, I've mostly stopped using GUI apps on my primary workstation except Firefox because of how messy the situation is with GUIs on Linux. GTK wants to enforce its decisions on me and KDE Qt apps don't work well on my Wayland window manager.

> I've also had KDE apps break quite badly with certain themes so I don't really know what you mean they work fine.

I meant to say that, unlike GNOME apps, they allow me to use my own themes and don't enforce their decisions and choices on me when I use their apps. I'm not using Android or iOS so I don't expect to be treated like an idiot.

> You can try to get them to work in something else like i3wm but it's always been on users of those other window managers to figure out how to integrate it.

It's not the uphill battle you're trying to project to make KDE apps work on non-KDE environment. Sure, some themes aren't built well but some are and all I have to do is install Kvantum+qt5ct to make the app look how I want it to. This isn't possible with GNOME and elementary apps because they chose to become their own isolated silos.

> It's worth noting that blog is one developer's opinion.

Is it? The opinions on that article are almost always shared by all the core GNOME developers I've seen commenting on issue trackers. Even the stopthemingmyapp guys resonate those opinions.

Doesn't sound like "one developer's opinion" to me.

> No, I think it would be worse if there would be no extensions.

Judging by the general disdain towards extensions by GNOME developers and many users, I doubt that's the case.

Just curious - what is your opinion of non-technical managers that, upon arriving back to work from a conference, order their teams to implement a buzzword bingo soup, without being able to articulate why their life-critical aerospace software suddenly needs to support SOAP over REST backed by HADOOP, all implemented in Golang monads.
> expired

Was curious about this, as it's something of an open question as to the actual safe "absolutely-by" date (vs the standard date).

Turns out, they've been tested to degrade at a rate proportional to temperature.

The listed date (3 years?) is essentially 3 years at max temperature. Decrease the temperature (i.e. outside anywhere but the desert), and it stretches significantly. Actually store it somewhere cool (e.g. root cellar) and it goes even longer.

Honestly, what has been exceedingly scary to me in the past couple years is how tribalism in the US has gotten to such extremes that people are now willing to actually die instead of admit they were wrong.

I mean, sure, the ease with which people have decided they can argue against easily demonstrable facts over the past 5-10 years has been unsettling, but I thought when push came to shove, and their lives and their loved ones' lives were on the lines, people would come around. But a sizable portion of the country is now in a full-on death cult.

And to be clear, I can understand there are plenty of things about the pandemic and the pandemic response that can be debated, but a huge portion of the country is miles off the deep end into full on crazyville. Even Trump was loudly booed recently when he said he got a booster.

Gah, I'm finally giving OSMC another try this year (tuned downstream distro of Kodi).

Honestly, the biggest problem is I probably need to organize my NFS so the dang indexing works. That was always the biggest problem I had in the past (and buffering/encoding stuttering, but that was from WiFi/weak RaspberryPi processing).
>I have seen people struggling to breathe through lungs that have hardened to near uselessness, begging us in their ignorance to give them the vaccine now.

I really have trouble believing that this isn't just a propaganda meme. What proportion of the population actually believes that a vaccine will cure them post infection? More importantly, how are all of these people uttering vaccine requests when their lungs are failing? Isn't it a little hard to talk when you're in the end stage of a severe lung infection?

Linking these unvaccinated deaths to qanon conspiracists in the second sentence further makes me doubt that this is an actual doctor reporting on their experience. This is reddit, after all, a heavily astroturfed (and opaquely controlled) propaganda machine.
There aren't any poor people working hard just to get by in your country?
The data you posted shows that the average person was able to maintain about 7lbs of weight loss without surgery, so it's definitely more than 5%*.

Also, who is saying we are calling patients weak willed losers? Should we not tell patients to stop smoking, or to quit heroin, because they might think that we think of them as "weak willed losers"?

*edit for ambiguous wording: By this I mean it seems to work for at least 50% of people, with the average being 3% weight loss.
Kind of sad none of the responses really answered the question in detail.

What I would like to know:

1. What features does Plex have that Kodi doesn't?

2. What features does Kodi have that Plex doesn't?

I get that at this point it is somewhat an apples/oranges comparison, but still: As a Plex/Kodi user, what am I not getting that the other provides?

I know Kodi has a lot of plugins, but I'd like to hear of specific examples of plugins and how people use them in a way that you can't with Plex.

Edit: One somewhat useful Reddit comment:

>Okay, this sounds completely made up now. Someone's trying to score some Reddit upvotes with this ridiculous story.

I guess you haven't been to the rural US recently. Not only is that plausible but its very likely. Check some of the social media posts on r/hermancainaward
The moralizing about food and diet is similar to the moralizing about drugs and addiction: "Just lock up all the homeless drug addicts in rehab for 3 months, and they'll get clean. Problem solved!"

Right, except they'll still be homeless, poor, mentally unstable, or all of the above. Drug use is often the symptom, not the root cause.

It's similar with food. For many people, food becomes the primary source of joy in life. And just like with drugs, the joy shrinks, the high gets shorter, and the health side effects soon start outweighing the benefits. But it's still quite hard to go cold turkey, and just like a recovering addict, even years after establishing a healthy diet it becomes really easy to fall off the wagon.

We can moralize about how starving children in africa have things much worse, but human happiness is contextual to the reality we know. And life in modern western society has a lot of pitfalls, anxiety, and depression. Obesity is in many ways a side effect of people's lived experience.
Sadly accurate. I have a condition common enough that every doctor thinks they can treat it, but severe enough none of them will. Trips ahead to several states, possibly outside the US to address this. Local resources are too arrogant to want to look at even recent peer reviewed studies, or too busy to do so. A family member in medicine tells me what I describe is pervasive. Medicine, he says, is broken.

Consider that maybe you had some luck, good fortune, or support structures that helped you pull yourself out of your anxiety, and it didn't turn inward on you.

Anxiety is not a disorder that causes or relates to introversion or extroversion.

>my brain is conditioned to believe anything in the cloud is simply not secure

Technically untrue, but true nonetheless.

There are a lot of techniques for ensuring the security of data. Techniques where even the supplier of the service cannot access your data.

But they do not add (in the general case) to the bottom line.

In another generation (or two) users may get educated to insist on it. But for now the refrain "I have nothing to hide, why should I care about privacy?" is very common.

My reply is "you have nothing to hide, now. When you do it will be too late".

Also we don't know how much atmosphere-volume per second is needed for 1 "normal" lightning strike. (Assuming some sort of volume-based cause.)

Some UniFi APs used to come with PoE injectors. I’m not sure if they still do, but it looks like they still sell them for $8:

https://store.ui.com/products/u-poe-af

If someone is willing to spend a bit more, the 8 port managed GbE switch with 4 PoE ports is $110:
https://store.ui.com/products/unifi-switch-8-60w

That said, they’re coming out with a “UniFi Dream Router” for $80 (might be more once it goes GA, it’s in beta now via their Early Access program) that has the wifi, gateway, and management all in one device https://dongknows.com/ubiquitis-wi-fi-6-unifi-dream-router-u...

If someone is interested in going all-in on UniFi, their best solution is coming in the form of the Dream Machine Pro SE that can support their camera platform (Protect) along with Network and includes a 10Gb SFP+, 2.5GbE, and a PoE 8-port switch which should be fine for most houses (e.g. 5 wired PoE cameras + 3 PoE APs).

I’ve been into Ubiquiti ever since the OG EdgeRouter, so my current setup is a bit more complex. I’m not happy that they’ve ended support for UniFi Video that I ran for years on a NUC with Ubuntu that also hosts other small home automation stuff and Jenkins. I finally caved and got a Cloud Key 2+ to run Protect, which only runs on their hardware, even though it’s just 64-but ARM. At least it’s fast, I guess. It would be great if they had any real competition in this space, but all the other DIY and enterprise options really suck for cameras. MikroTik is fine for networking gear, and with the prices I’ve been seeing on some wifi mesh systems and even “gaming” routers, people could be getting Aruba Instant On or Ruckus Unleashed systems that would be infinitely better than the junk that they’re passing off as “gaming” routers these days.

In the examples given, there is an existing pipeline from the “raw” input (CCD or unfused sensor data) to a simpler or less idiosyncratic thing (RGB pixel grid, position in space). The point seems to be, you still have a design choice to make about whether to use the raw or processed data. The processed data is conceptually cleaner to work with, but the raw data may be cleaner in the sense of more accurate. The processed data doesn’t depend so much on the details of the sensor (such as the layout of the pixels on the CCD), but it does depend on the details of the processing (in the sense that it relies on them).

That’s not the same as having to choose or design a set of features, though, I don’t think.

PDF is indeed a very bloated format, but documents are inherently complex. I don't think you can create anything that deserves the name "tiny" but can still handle anything you might want to send to a printer (and that's a much smaller use case than "anything you want to display on a screen").
Kodi is fantastic. Nothing really comes close to how good it is.

Definitely not for your grandma though.
easyDNS.

It's obviously possible that this is a bad nowcast (as argued in Edit2 of the parent), but there are other possibilities.

I suspect the % of tests that are of asymptomatic people is much higher than a few weeks ago, because of travel plans and publicity around omicron. If omicron does produce milder symptoms (either inherently or because more omicron cases are breakthrough and mitigated by vaccination) then it could be that a higher proportion of omicron cases are now being tested (and some fraction sequenced), relative to delta, compared with a few weeks ago.

Hyperbole aside, access to mental health services isn't going to invent mental health issues for most people. There's an extremely large underserved population without access to any mental health services. And even with access it can take months to get an appointment.

The services need to be as highly regulated as offline mental health services to protect patients. Besides that, it's a many times over net positive on society if people get the help they need.

It's a net positive even if a few people need attention and get that by faking or acting out a mental health disorder.
