fact: taste is subjective. You may or may not like pickles, and your personal preference is valid
fact: pickles have a strong flavor and it is detectable even in minute qualities
fact: pickles imply pickle juice, which soaks into all of the food.
therefore: if you don't like pickles, any food which has ever been in contact with pickles is ruined for you
Therefore pickles objectively suck
@julia@efdn.club @xj9 the thing is that they don’t actually know, which is why tax fraud is a thing. They have to audit you to figure out how much you owe, which is an expensive process for them. Some people’s taxes are pretty easy and yeah the government should just tell you. But people who have complicated situations usually have information about what they owe that the government doesn’t so it’s pretty much relying on you being honest and not wanting to risk the chance of getting caught in an audit.
@kragen@nerdculture.de @kick It’s relevant to Jon Blow but it’s not relevant to his Wikipedia article. There’s a policy on Wikipedia that articles on living persons should have “only material relevant to the person's notability, focusing on high-quality secondary sources” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons). Is Jon Blow notable for his height?
@ky0ko how important is the quality of the scripting language? Write your own?
@kick @kragen@nerdculture.de I just removed this information from his page as both unsourced and irrelevant so he can provide a citation if he really wants it there
@toffee imagine looking at a cat sitting comfortably on a field of grass. Flowers shifting gently in the wind. You go outside and pet the cat.
This has nothing to do with 3D graphics but I hope it helps
@sir @newt I agree with your principle, but that’s... not true? There’s a lot that entered the public domain this year - see “Entering the public domain in the United States” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_in_public_domain
@newt maybe you shouldn't be questioning the abolishment of copyright on the grounds that it's a necessary means for people to make a living, and instead question why people need copyright to _make a living_. Why is the human needs for food and shelter contingent on having a viable business model? Should we infringe upon the individual rights to share information for the sake of making that business model more viable - or should we maybe make sure that people's basic meets are met, period?
So yes, don’t automate your voting systems. You’re trading a little extra work for a loss of accountability, security, and confidence in the democratic process. Plus it might not even work.
@sir I won’t be at FOSDEM but I’d pay you for some srht stickers
Help finding depictions of positive masculinity in media, Please boost
Hey, so it's not too difficult to find games, movies, comics, etc that specifically depict powerful female protagonists and/or trans women because these works tend to specifically be labeled as such.
I have a friend, who is a trans man, that's trying to find works that depict inspiring male role models. He's trying to find works to better help him understand positive masculinity. Does anyone have any ideas?
