Is this a joke? If not what would be the point of this, seriously? Reminds me of drones writing the name of a Pharmaceutical product into the blue sky of Toronto, a few years back.
I have my dofiles script on github that I run on remote machines I frequently connect to and it installs zsh with my .zshrc, .bashrc in case I switch to bash and all the other dotfiles I got accustomed to. It has been definitely worth the extra trouble. Of course I still use bash for scripting and zsh is not really in the way.
I was just saying this to someone. ~4% Control ~95% of all bitcoin. Could anyone explain to me how this is acceptable? Why buy a currency that is worthless without electricity and where the wealth is so unevenly distributed? I’m curious. To me that’s already two good reasons to stay away. Am I missing something?
I've been with apple since 1995, but it seems to me that the fruit has been rotting from the inside out for some time now and it is starting to become very obvious. I hope they get their act together, because a real alternative that "just works" does not yet exist.
I can assure you that the highly processed health foods I ate back then, were not loaded with sugar, because I consciously tried to eat as little sugar as necessary.
You are quick to judge, calling me a "paranoiac" that doesn not know what he's talking about, based on a handful of sentences I wrote. I studied nutrition and I have experienced my body on many different diets. What I can say for myself, is that there is one important factor, that matters way more than the food taken in.
> Instead of trying to replicate an omnivorous diet by substituting all the meat you ate with substitutes, you should try branching out into an actual primarily vegetarian diet instead. Instead of substitute beef in your hamburger, try a portobello mushroom instead.
Ehm. So you are writing this as a response to me saying, that replicating an omnivorous diet with some secret mixture which resembles real meat so closely that it is difficult to distinguish from it, might be a bad idea? Maybe should have told me 10 years ago when it mattered and not after I just said the same thing.
No, nothing other than my personal experience (and of my partner) while eating a vegetarian and later exclusively vegan diet for almost 2 years. We ate a lot of fake foods, highly processed "health foods", most of them soy based and looking back at that time I can't say that we felt very good and healthy.
I believe we, as humans, do best with foods, which ingredients we can pronounce and source ourselves and put together without a lab and complicated checmical processes.
If you are ok with consuming foods of questionable "nature" because nobody could yet prove to you that they can be bad for human health, go for it. But I am going with my guts here, because that works for me.
Great. So someone figured out how to make a product that looks like and tastes like meat, and it likely is hydrolized soy protein with a nice mixture of artificial flavors and colors. Yeah, why not harm humans instead of animals.
I think a better approach to the problems that come with our “out of control meat consumption” is to drastically reduce meat consumption and eat it consciously. Much better than getting lost in the artificial flavors of frankenfoods .. No one really needs to eat meat more than once or twice a week.
So I reset my forgotten password with this method and now cannot set a new password. Every time I get
> The password you entered to protect your iPhone backup could not be set. Please try again.
What happens then is: the password i set is actually active, becuse to back up i have to enter that password - but as soon as i unplug the iPhone and plug it back in, I can/have to set e new password.
I updated iTunes to the newest version, restarted the iPhone, reset the iPhone settings multiple times, but I cannot encrypt the backup anymore. Weird.
edit: (the solutions to this problem that google offers did not solve the problem)
Haha, this is too funny. I have an iPhone 5s that I encrypted years ago with a password that I have unfortunately forgotten. Had to start from scratch with my iPhone 6s, because of this. I stopped updating the 5s, hoping that one day there will be an exploit that makes it possible to break in and pull the data. Who would have thought that instead I will be happily upgrading to iOS 11, because apple made it a feature.
I know this is bad, but for me it is awesome right now.
> From our nice position 14 years later it is amazing how much power draw we had to tolerate back then.
I find it incredible how indifferent and uneducated I was back then, about how much power it uses and what the consequences are on a larger scale. I remember keeping it powerd on 24/7 (of course with periods in which it slept). Nowadays I am (hyper)aware of the power consumption of pretty much every device in the house.
I just checked and if you include the Power Usage of the Apple Cinema Display, my machine idles at just over 180W
It's a pity, because it runs quite well - always has. I have 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 on there and favor Tiger.
I have been trying to sell it, but obviously nobody wants it. On the other hand, i still have Ableton Live 7 and Logic installed with all my plugins, GB's of Samples and loops on it and I am having a hard time letting go the ability to open my old tracks...I know I will never need to, but I think I'll always keep it for that reason.
Librem 5, the phone that focuses on security by design and privacy protection by default. Running Free/Libre and Open Source software and a GNU+Linux Operating System designed to create an open development utopia, rather than the walled gardens from all other phone providers.
It's ridiculous that I am getting downvoted for having a moral compass. For people who are having any questions about this issue or doubt its validity please watch the Documentary "Death by Design".
I guess that’s as good as you can make the iPhone X appear, without having to be embarrassed about what you are writing. I am tired of seeing one iPhone release after the other, the marketing machinery desperately trying to get people excited to buy buy buy more, while nobody really needs this. I am saying this from an environmental activists perspective and it is very frustrating and upsetting to see so many large corporations completely ignore their catastrophic impact on the environment and people’s lives.. this ultimately costs us our planet, clean air, clean water, dignity ... is it worth it? Do we really need all these gadgets?
There is potential for healing, yes. But what comes up needs to be integrated and dealt with appropriately .. if not, it can mess up things quite a bit.
Well, could’t You say the same thing about experiences of any nature? For example: our thoughts always affect our body/mind .. if I take a drug or in the case of ayahuasca an entheogen, it creates a non ordinary state of consciousness, which -if strong enough- can permanently change the way I feel and act. The same you could achieve by meditating on a regular basis or going on a long trip, having a traumatic experience etc .. our brains are being modified constantly by our experiences, not just by drugs. And yeah, a belief is a belief - if it’s a conscious belief you could say ‘I believe in having this belief’ and if it’s unconscious it’s just a belief I am not consciously aware of. But both have the same
Effect on my body and mind
Having had frequent ceremonies over the course of several months I stopped drinking the tea, because I find it is not helping being pulled from one extreme into another. Our western way of life makes it very difficult to integrate the profound experiences that one can get through this medicine and it requires major commitments to change..and it requires good helpers and facilitators. We, as westerners, are often times not equipped to integrate this lost wisdom into our lives. I know it is said it is not addictive but I know enough people that at least appear dependent on it and swear by it being the solution.
I personally believe that meditation and journeying inward without drugs brings about insights of a similar magnitude in a pace that we can cope with and integrate what we learn without jojo’ing between bliss and depression.
Ayahuasca has its place. It definitely helped us experience that there is much more to life than the material. But in my opinion I t’s a sledge Hammer that helps crack hard nuts or sets a direction. The work has to be done by oneself and the risk with ayahuasca is that one just keeps drinking the tea, thinking that that is enough.
Apart from that it is quite dangerous nowadays to do ceremonies with traveling “shamans”, because a lot of them don’t even brew the tea themselves and oftentimes facilitate in a way that it is bound to go wrong at some point.
