  • I dunno there's probably better choices but these were what I thought of. Is there a website that has a copy of every public domain music file?

  • Works fine on Android 2.17.1 for me

  • I do this too. I would need them if I lost my phone, so bitwarden/keepass is a good place for them to be.

    I think it is less secure though since someone who somehow has the unencrypted vault without your 2FA device could get in with the codes - but if someone cracks my master password I'm screwed in a whole bunch of ways so I'm not sure it matters too much at that point.

  • Squeakeasy

  • Lackadaisy is pretty close though I think those cats act exactly like humans with no cat behaviors

  • I know it's part of the joke here, but not a bad time to mention the pyramids weren't built by enslaved workers at all. It was likely dedicated domestic laborers working 3-4 hr days.

  • If you want to be sure to catch it next year, sub to the Canvas comm on toast.ooo!

  • Anon gives back

  • Why 5 instances of Searxng? Do you get very different results with each? I pretty much always use the same one..

  • "Pipe"

  • The pipe comic with Garfield was also likely referencing a famous Magritte painting.

    The painting is a kind of play on self-reference

    Meme-ception for sure

  • Definitely a huge overlap but mostly just because these are classic and great tropes from English-language literature. I doubt Dune was a major inspiration for WOT.

    Aes Sedai - Bene - Moirai/Weird Sisters Moiraine is literally named after the Moirai

    Paul/Rand are regular chosen ones with the foreign savior theme of Lawrence/Heart of Darkness added on for good measure

  • These data are used for lots of stuff, including guaranteeing rights for protected classes, which in the US includes race.

    For example, you could use this info to prove that a redistricting is racist and illegal by showing that it unfairly groups areas of certain ethnicities into one district. Without official census data that includes race, anti-discrimination legislation would be harder to enforce in the courts.

  • The Thursday Murder Club. Very delightful writing

  • Just started this. Very nice so far

  • This is exactly my primary use for them too. Although I'm gonna start using a ski buff, see if that's even better.

  • Not_Rick has a great answer but I will add something. Your question about the quote you posted is based on a disagreement about what race is, between you and social scientists. The phrase "we can take a DNA test and get our ancestry, telling us what percentage of what races make up our overall ethnicity" already assumes that genetics = race, end of story. But this is an unfounded assumption. All the test can tell is our genetics. Not_Rick offered some good examples for the counterpoint, that genetics ≠ race. If you disagree with that basic premise then you will always be bothered by modern theories on the subject such as CRT.

    Once you see that race clearly is not just genetics, you can start asking what it truly is and what things do determine one's race. These are much more interesting questions. For example, a new question might be 'what has been the historical relationship between ethnicity and "being white" in the US'? And let's not even start on the ridiculousness that is the census form.

  • Not sure about the other but PoppinKREAM became known on Reddit during the Mueller probe for very long, very well researched and cited comments mostly related to politics. Their citation style in particular meant their comments got tons of Reddit awards and were highly visible.

  • Yeah, free tier only lets you have 3 total calendars and there is no color coding available so it's limited compared to Google which is what I was leaving. But export/import was seamless and it seems a good stepping stone to replace the one-click cloud megacorp offerings. Your stack seems perfect for when I have the time to get Nextcloud going.

  • I haven't stepped up to using Nextcloud or my own hosted server, so I'm just using Proton Calendar. The free version is pretty limited though.

    Shoutout to PixeIOrange and mokpo

    This original design has grown since the beginning of the event, mostly through placement by PixeIOrange@lemmy.world and mokpo@lemm.ee

    I just think it's been cool to watch a design grow that isn't for a fan-group or external logo or previous r/place movement.
