<p>> Then it forces me to thumbs down the music, which also isn't what I want to do, because I have no idea what effect it's having on my recommendations.<p>I feel this. Social media algorithms can be so complex and opaque now that I have to consciously consider what repercussions my interactions have. I have so little idea what interactions affect recommendations on e.g. Instagram that it almost feels random.</p>

<p>Most social media has been has been utterly untenable forever, but Twitter and Discord are the most troublesome in my experience. It's so hard to create and use a new account on those sites without the rigmarole of captcha (due to suspicious activity) -> banned (due to suspicious activity) -> captcha (due to suspicious activity) -> verify email (due to suspicious activity) -> banned (due to suspicious activity) -> verify phone number (due to suspicious activity). Then, want to follow someone, or join a guild? Hmm.. your account reputation is too low. Try again in a week?<p>I don't know how people do it. I can only figure it's my fault for running Linux or Firefox or not Signing in with Google™, upsetting the data harvesting overlords.</p>

<p>I struggle to believe you don't understand what they mean. There is many a homophobe in the world. GP isn't saying homophobia is good, simply that espousing a pro-LGBT viewpoint may upset people. Maybe they deserve to be upset, but that doesn't change that it may become your problem.</p>

<p>I tried Podman on my messing around VPS but quickly reverted to rootless Docker.<p>The straw that broke the camels back was a bug in `podman compose` that funnily enough was fixed two hours ago[1]; if `service1` has a `depends_on` on `service2`, bringing down `service1` will unconditionally bring down `service2`, even if other services also depend on it. So if two separate services depend on a database, killing one of them will kill the database too.<p>Another incompatibility with Docker I experienced was raised in 2020 and fixed a few months ago[2]; you couldn't pass URLs to `build:` to automatically pull and build images. The patch for this turned out to be a few lines long.<p>I'm sure Podman will be great once all of these bugs are ironed out, but for me, it's not quite there yet.<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/pull/1283" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/pull/1283</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/issues/127" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/issues/127</a></p>

<p>> even if cash is legal tender and they, by law, _have_ to accept cash<p>this is not true as it is not what "legal tender" means.

<p>I'm not a psychologist but some of these extrapolations seem <i>insane</i> to me.<p>> Using Czech police records, American and Czech researchers compared rape rates in the Czech Republic for the 17 years before porn was legalized with rates during the 18 years after. Rapes decreased from 800 a year to 500. More porn, less rape.<p>> In addition, the legalization of porn was associated with a decrease in another despicable sex crime, child sexual abuse. Under Communism, arrests for child sex abuse averaged 2,000 a year. After porn became legal, the figure dropped by more than half to fewer than 1,000. More porn, fewer sex crimes.<p>The country's entire foundation shifted from underneath it; an empire collapsed around it. How could they possibly isolate the legalisation of pornography <i>specifically</i> as the cause of decreased rape? Why not the legalisation of private enterprise? Is it not feasible that living in a repressive, controlled, surveilled society caused men unrest?<p>Perhaps the studies cited went into more detail, but "Lots of rape in 1985, less rape in 2005. Porn was legalised between then, ergo porn caused this." does NOT convince me.</p>

<p>> Taking an extra two hours per passenger on average, that’s 1.725 billion hours, or $83 billion cost to the economy just for extra time wasted for domestic passengers.<p>That seems really wrong to me?<p>1. Business flyers are getting paid for the day, wherever they are. Whether they spend an extra hour in the office or at an airport is orthogonal to them getting paid. They may be producing less output which in turn decreases GDP, but that's its own can of worms and also not what this is trying to calculate anyway.<p>2. Leisure flyers, naturally, fly when either their business is closed or they've taken time off. So again, whether they leave at 2AM or 4AM, they're not getting paid for that day.<p>I don't think the layman would end up with any more money in their pocket were they to leave 2 hours later for their flights.</p>
