RosemarySolomon@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Anti-China Rhetoric Is Off the Charts in Western Media19·2 years agoDoes…that make all those things okay then?
RosemarySolomon@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Which FOSS software is essential to small businesses and better than their proprietary counterpart?6·2 years agoPersonal experience:
Argo workflows and Argocd (vs. something like Harness) - Requires a handful of customizations to get it parity, but it’s really useful out-of-the-box I think. Good ol’ Jenkins works too, I suppose.
Soon, OpenTofu - unfortunately Hashicorp is going IPO which means bad news. OpenTofu is the fork of terraform.
Podman - Docker alternative. It’s really close, especially with Podman Desktop. I had a few issues that I ran into, but there are probably workarounds.
Vscode / codium - yeah it’s Microsoft, and has tracking. But it’s popular for a reason.
America’s Test Kitchen recommended Misen as an alternative for the Dutch oven: https://misen.com/products/dutch-oven
I got it, it works well, and I like it. I think we made bread in it a few times before. Small disclaimer though, we’re pretty casual cooks and had a World Market brand Dutch oven for several years before this one.
Outside of that we got a knife block and their scissors but I haven’t tried anything else of theirs (Misen).

Welcome back! ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪
Week is going alright. Found out I’ll be moving ahead with an interview to the tech stage, after that it’s a full panel then the decision. Got a few other options but admittedly this one seems the best so far in terms of benefits and pay. I’m gonna try to crash course myself and refresh my knowledge.
Outside of that, I’ll be “enjoying” a Pacific NW heatwave this week. At least I have AC, though.
RosemarySolomon@beehaw.orgto Politics@beehaw.org•Kids' Cartoon From Conservative University Claims That Slavery Was 'No Big Deal'English0·2 years agoAnother fun quote: “Being taken as a slave is better than being killed, no?”. Plenty to grab from that quote, but there are reports the indigenous people got so
depressedexcited to enter the kingdom of heaven they essentially did nothing for as long as they could, simply waiting to die.Also I watched this full video, because I feel like it’s important to get full context of these things. I learned some other stuff:
- Muslims blocked the route to China, India, etc. and Muslims were at war with Spain. No particular country, just “Muslims”.
- The indigenous population ate people, and sure Europe wasn’t great but at least they didn’t EAT people. Plus, they worshiped false gods and not the GOD, so while the folks Columbus met were pretty nice the rest of them were pretty terrible. Still, he had to spread Christianity to the tribes he met too.
- Surprisingly, the tribes Columbus met were actually intelligent, and could even do stuff like copy the sounds/words Columbus made! Amazing what these primitive people could accomplish! It’s like they’re almost human.
- Everything needs context of their time. For example, slavery has been around forever so we can’t really judge from our 500 years future perspective. We also can’t use other people’s opinions on Columbus at the time because they were competitors of Columbus. Thus, any criticism of Columbus (and perhaps, anyone in history) is just people not understanding that events in the past can’t be judged from our lens of the present.
Columbus, slavery = forgiven!
There’s a good 3-part Behind the Bastards episodes on Columbus. If anyone hasn’t had a listen it’s a great overview of what Columbus really was: a bastard.
RosemarySolomon@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Alphabet illegally ended contract employment for Google staffers as they tried to unionize, organizers say in a complaint to US labor board0·2 years agoBeehaw disables downvotes - so it may be that it shows from the instance, but technically it has “zero” downvotes.
RosemarySolomon@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•What non-FOSS software are you using that you wish you could replace?0·2 years agoIntuit software, specifically TurboTax. This also may become obsolete to replace if the IRS will give out free software as rumored for next year, but I’m surprised nothing as intuitive ^pun ^heh or user-friendly has popped up. Maybe I need to do more research, not sure.
RosemarySolomon@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•Hamburg: Climate activists let air out of tyres of 33 cars (mainly SUVs!) again0·2 years agoIf you deflate the tires, doesn’t that reduce the mpg of the vehicle?
Yup, and besides it’s part of the namesake from the code: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy#whys-it-called-lemmy
RosemarySolomon@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Who is your go-to character in Mario Kart?English0·2 years agoMy son and I play Mario kart 8, so it’s up to him usually 🤷 but I tend to be Luigi 9 times out of 10, he loves Luigi. Otherwise backup is Mario.
I do also like Koopa Troopa…
RosemarySolomon@beehaw.orgto Beehaw Support@beehaw.org•the hopefully final June 2023 financial update for Beehaw (lol)English0·2 years agoGreat! If there’s any way to help via code or something else please let us know, I’m sure a lot of the people here would love to help out.
I wonder if fargate etc. vs. DO would be cheaper/better. If it isn’t broken and traffic is steady no need to change providers, but would be curious to see.
RosemarySolomon@beehaw.orgto Nature and Gardening@beehaw.org•I grew a strawberry!English0·2 years agoFantastic! I too, have been growing some strawberries. We got a elevated planter from Costco a bit ago, and a handful of strawberries from a local nursery and Home Depot.
