Why do so many of us have cats?

I can only speak for myself. I thought I was a dog person but a cat that needed a home came into my life and over the next 8 years she became one of my favorite buddies. Completely turned me into a cat person. They can be just as sweet in their own way. Plus they have less upkeep compared to a dog. Also I can still leave them for a weekend and just have family stop by to feed them.

We got another boy cat a year ago and he is a little cuttle bug. Free lap/hand warmer.

Love my Unraid tons of built in features that make it easy to use as a home server. Not that you can't manually do everything yourself without it but it makes things a whole lot simpler. I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to save time and effort if one wants.

For example they have an app store for docker containers. But what if they are missing something? Oh you can still just write and run yaml and it'll work just fine.

Genuinely curious what would people recommend for a home server that is less of a do it all yourself processes and more of a do some of it yourself processes.

So what did this guy get wrong?

Made it about halfway through. The long and shot of it is their steel man of the fuckcars position is violence against car owners and a 0 car world. I think that's pretty disingenuous. So you're asking me to point out what's wrong with an argument made about ghosts. What's wrong would be the premise.

I don't think anyone here is pushing for a 0 car world or pushing to use violence to do so. If there are I would assume they are in the vast minority. Some people with disabilities need cars and such. I do think that in the USA at very least that public transportation is so bad outside of our top 10 city's that it's not even worth considering. I do think that's a problem, don't you agree? In the video they often talk about freedom what about the freedom of not needing a car to do XYZ?

If you still use reddit, do you feel bad for doing so?

The only reddit community I've yet to find a home for on Lemmy is /r/fountainpens. I don't post there though. As a lefty getting into underwriting and fountain pens was really good for my penmanship. This in turn was good for my journaling and mental health. I don't feel bad about it.

IRRC there was a Lemmy channel for it but it was really small.

I'd agree with that but who thinks reporting is the final step or the end all be all? Might be the final step for a reporter in the role of a reporter, but not in the role of a voter or revolutionary etc.

I don't expect a reporter to also solve all problems they are reporting on (if the comic is making fun of the reporter). I also don't think people consuming the reporting think that they have solved the problem by consuming the reporting (if the comic is making fun of them).

If people think negatively reporting someone would take them down. It's only because they think that a majority of people would in fact agree that the behavior is egregious enough to take them down. However, I think we all understand that the reporting is just an important step in the process and not the final goal. I think that people saying that reporting will take someone down are simply acknowledging that the first step (a necessary step) in the process has been taken.

In my opinion if the comic wanted to pick on someone it should be the people who don't believe the obvious and blatantly truthful reporting. Notably missing from the above comic.

Yeah I'm still confused about the comment and the comic. How should people know bad person is bad without knowing they did or do bad things?

I get that at some point it's unnecessary as everyone who cares to pay attention already knows. However I still think a fill historical log is valuable.
