Fallacy rule

Reply in thread

It is a solid diagnostic manual, however fundamentally flawed and really should be replaced with a more modern structure, with modern schools of thought.

I've been told that the text revision (2022) may have solved some terminology issues, but it has consistently, even now pathologised queer lifestyles and DSM has referred to them as mental disorders (such as being transgender, mentioned above, and the act of crossdressing), and has some extremely outdated views like those in the section on paraphilias. It also has origins in the American slave economy, with its precursors being created to categorise Black escapees with mental disorders and convince the public that incarceration is for their benefit.

I have traced the left art to this image --

-- which is likely to be from one or more encyclopaedias from Usborne Publishing, such as The Usborne Encyclopedia of World History. The illustration is consistent with the style of the Usborne historical artists.

YouTube Music Price Hike: I've had enough. Am I missing anything?

I second the existing recommendations. Unfortunately Lidarr is only partially operational. My stack consists of:

  • Music on a large storage drive
  • Slskd so it keeps my account active and supplies a WebUI for downloads (but if you try to browse users with 500K songs, the browser just dies trying to load it all in memory)
  • Beetbox beets for metadata embedding, renaming and moving into the final storage as per my naming convention. Pro tip: pipx install beets[lyrics] to include the lrclib plugin
  • Navidrome for hosting a personal streaming service. Comes with a WebUI, and is SubSonic compatible to allow any SubSonic client such as Symfonium or Tempo (available on F-droid).

For my particular use case (Proxmox-based container), I have a tutorial available. This can no doubt be adapted slightly if your system differs.

It's a good thing opinions are subjective, and individual to the person. Fwiw, my opinion differs completely. I really enjoyed it on launch, but left it after I'd built a ship, seen a few planets and completed the ten part Atlas storyline. Of course that was 100% of the features on launch. The game's features are colossal now

An amazing directory: /proc

Great tips! Although if i may 🤓 just a little for the top right, it works because what you deleted isn't the binary, it's the pointer that points to the binary's location. The data is still exactly as it was before "deletion"; the symlink is simply a copy of the original pointer's info; and I'm speculating that the existence of any pointer prevents the system from recycling those addressed bits.

ACLU of Iowa sues state over Satanic Temple event

I saw a clip of some Christian folk being asked their opinion on a nearby church place of Satanic worship and the general vibe is what you'd expect: they had no idea what Satanism is, generalised and bullshitted that it's just a performative show by the members to be visible, like a long-term publicity stunt. They try yapping shit about it but haven't bothered to learn one iota and realise that they have no argument.
