Your submission “Does anyone know a free Playboy TV piracy stream on the web that actually shows the same thing the adult cable channel Playboy TV airs on cable and not just half of what Playboy TV shows on cable?” in !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com was removed because: Removing for violating Rule 3…

What I can’t stand is when platforms don’t take no for an answer.

Every fucking visit to Dropbox: “Upgrade to Standard!”

Every check out on Amazon: "Upgrade to Prime!

Every time I open Walmart: “Upgrade to Walmart+”

I fucking can’t stand it.

Tell me you don’t understand how GPL works without telling me how GPL works.

GPL has been battle tested in court and has the most precedence than any other license. Hell I’d even include proprietary licenses.

Core Android and ChromeOS are FOSS because they have to be. But because Linus Torvalds didn’t want to move Linux to GPL3, we have proprietary bootloaders with free software.

THAT’S how we have corporations profiting from GPL. Not because GPL allows anyone to use it.

I’m rewatching it and always forget how funny the show is.

Right back at you!

You’re getting down voted right now and I think it’s important to understand why because I had a similar reaction not too long ago. I was curious to understand my own biases and what I think it’s important to share what I learned as a cis male in IT.

Women just want to be women. Some want to wear nail polish and “look pretty” while others want to just rock a T-shirt and jeans. Like men who wear full tux and debug code at 6pm on a Friday (because they aren’t farmers), they want to be what they want to be.

Men have the luxury to wear whatever they want (for the most part) and not get shit for it. Women have to do everything that men do and do it with maturity while handing the shit that men throw their way.

I learned this lesson when I was the sole male STEM counselor at an all girls camp. It was a volunteer gig that my company put together. They had last minute cancellations and I had time on my calendar and so I volunteered. I did not know it was all girls and I certainly did not know I’d be the only guy.

I stayed curious and helped where I could. My job was to be a project manager, help teams understand how to win their competition that had set requirements. So I walked them through all that and looked over their code. There as a dedicated “make up hour” where the girls were encouraged to make their presentations “pretty” with make up, glitter, etc. I personally found it pointless given how far behind we were but I kept my mouth shut.

And I observed.

The fact that these girls could do this and do IT was immensely powerful. You could see their spirits lifted. It rocked my world and made me check my own beliefs. Why not allow them to be pretty? Why not let them take an hour to put glitter and stickers on their board if it made them happy?

Did we win? No. But they enjoyed it.

In my 20+ years in tech, we need more women because they bring perspective in ways I don’t. Not because they want to be pretty because they provide insight in ways I don’t expect. Anything I can do to help make that happen I’ll gladly do.

I added a cross brace across the back as well as a cross brace on either side of the desk, with a 6" extension. The desk immediately became sturdy with just one brace but I added the second. It held my 200lbs ass on the front without issue.

I think I could have done just 3" and it would have been fine. But now I’m confident that I can have sex on it which is a side benefit to just the standing desk mount.

Actually this is my exact plan. It occurred to me that the tipping over could be fixed by extending the base out to move the center of gravity back. I’ll post an update once I make the change. It won’t be until tomorrow due to life.

Omg you explained this very well. I didn’t take into account that moving the legs back would move the center of gravity.

God damn it. Physics! You bitch!

I think the triangle approach is not possible. I am beginning to wonder if my approach (e.g. table with an apron) is the wrong approach.

You are correct: with nothing on it, the table is fine. But with the weight of the monitor stand near the front, pulling my chair causes the table to tip.

Based on comments and other drawings I’ve seen so far, I’m thinking you’re right. I’m going add a crossbeam across the legs (the two sides and in the back).

My goal was to build the desk with subpar wood so there are some twists and cupping in the wood. So getting every square is a challenge.

I would prefer not to. I could but it would only be on one side of the table.

The dimensions are w: 25" x l: 48" x h: 30"

The legs move slightly when pulled (it could be sturdier and the brace would certainly help with that) but the whole table shifts. If I pull with the monitor stand on it, the table would fall over.

It’s not that people hate facts and science.

They hate facts and science that disagrees with their pre established beliefs.

They will happy spout whatever half truths that support their arguments but they will firmly reject anything that doesn’t.

It’s rare that you can actually see him try to suppress the demon within him.

I’d think it’d be more ethical to do the exact opposite.

Inspect Element and be the change you want to see in the world.

As much as I would like to agree with you, permissive licenses are killing open source software as a whole since corporations absolutely abuse the software, provide very little value back to the code in return, and often DEMAND the authors patch their vulnerabilities.

Open source props up the world and the least that corporations could do is throw 0.0001% of their revenue their way. But they can’t even be bothered to do that.

Warp me!
