  • I’m genuinely curious, when in development do you think consciousness begins?

    For you, does this have anything to do with human life being special or sacred, or having a soul?

    I’m not looking to mock or provoke, I’m just curious because I’ve seen people place importance on the life or dna of the fetus being human or importance on when the brain forms, or when the heart starts beating. People have a wide variety of opinions on both when life starts and on when personhood starts, and the criteria they use for each. I think discussing these things objectively could help reduce internet arguments on the topic, but only if people have good faith discussion. I realize that is tough to do these days.








  • they don’t accept sources outside their local news and social circle where they accept everything as truthful and any outsider is automatically untrustworthy. I’ve run into someone utterly convinced that their local schools were forcing kids to become trans against thier will, because they heard it repeated by thier idiot republican social circle. No evidense required. Instead in thier mind burden of proof is on me for saying that’s ridiculous.

    Even when they don’t wholeheartedly believe the lies they’ve been goven they will pretend to for fear of their social circle response.



  • your first clue was the link in the next - no shipper is going to miss having its branding in the url. the second if that the url it redirects to its obviously random bs and if you do a whois you see its def not owned by usps.

    got a few of these phishing attempts myself over thanksgiving. holiday gift shopping season has begun, the scammers want to catch the less savy among us.





  • a lot of amazon sellers simply mark working pulls as “refubrished” when all they did was reformat or if you are lucky did a zero fill and check that the sectors weren’t bad.

    I don’t trust reburbs that aren’t manufacturer refurbished on any site because its a huge difference in the testing and checking being done.

    I do sometimes buy used drives, but I know what I am getting there vs “refurbished” - and there is usually a pricing difference which is why so many are dishonestly calling used drives refurbs.

    you want to look at the sellers warranty policies. if if they actually have one besides amazons, the seller is confident in their own items longevity


  • Someone linked the mod log. I read it and totally looks like echo chamber to me. You tow the line or you get removed. Did that admin open a can of worms step in doodoo and track it through the house instance making a mess? Yup. But the pot is calling the kettle black when it cries about the censorship aspect. These seem like folks that belong on reddit or their own instance because its the personal kingdom of the mods being encroached on that is their real problem.

    The rest of lemmy.world admins are now trying to navigate this mess and no matter what they chose to do a large chunk of thier userbase is going to be unhappy. As far as I can see this was the least damaging way they could move on. There simply is no good ending to this, just a least bad one.



  • They fear becoming a minority.

    They operate under the false beliefs that they already are and that “the libs” bring in foreigners to tilt the vote (which is litteraly not possible) and then “those people get free everything” to feed further into racism. The imafinery bussed in people can’t vote or get benefits but thier social circle says so and thats all they need to believe and repeat it.

    The triangle of rhetoric is appeal to authority, appeal to emotion, appeal to logic. They don’t accept any of it thay didn’t come from within thier social group so there is no convinving them and that is why Tronald Dump can say he could shoot somebody on 5th avenue and have them call it fake news despite beinh recorded.


    1. Swapping entire devices takes more time and labor than this. So does factory resetting, and all the other solutions I saw other IT people roll out. They panicked.

    2. Its a crashing os not dead machine so we do have the ability to remote access before the OS even loads, though we don’t always deploy that on smaller organizations. In those cases we walk someone through booting into recovery or send a tech to the office. We had this handled in the 1st hrs, a few hundred endpoints affected the rest were not on crowdstrike. We almost switched to it 6 mo ago…dodged a bullet.


  • Theres not fixing what ain’t broke and there is refusing to budget to move on when needed. There are a lot of ifs and assumptions in your reply trying to put me in my place here. Old software that won’t run on anything modern becomes a recipe for disaster when said hardware breaks down and can’t be replaced with anything that functions.

    Fuck it lets see if all 3 of my replies can get to negative 3 digits: none of this matters because the original problem was pretty damm easy to fix but here I am taking shit on social media for saying so.

    P.s. in medical client sitiations there are compliance laws involved, and I keep seeing hospitals and practices not meet them until they start eating fines because they want to use every machine till it literly falls apart.
