I can’t tell if you’re agreeing or disagreeing with me

It’s wild that OP would think these two things are equivalent.
Pronouns are a thing that harms nobody, and the people frothing at the mouth are going out of their way to hurt people who did nothing wrong.
AI (in its most common meaning at this time in pop culture) at the minimum is wasting electricity (and it’s associated climate impact), and has the potential to totally decimate the job market and usher in an era of inequality that we haven’t seen for hundreds of years, while simultaneously stealing from artists. The people frothing at the mouth aren’t hurting anyone.
To use a bit of hyperbole, it’s kinda like if you said:
Some of y’all see “white power” and freak out without processing anything that’s being said, like a conservative who sees a mixed race couple.
Like pretty clearly people have a good reason for freaking out when they see that, and the other side of the equation are just bad people.

But would that really constitute “the vast majority of humans won’t [survive]?”
I don’t necessarily disagree, but I don’t understand what OP means by that claim.
- Comment on The nursery rhyme "monkeys jumping on the bed" gives children the impression that you can just call your family doctor who will pick up immediately. 4 days ago:
called up the dr and the dr said The next availability is the 27th of next month. We’re open from 12pm to 4pm Tuesday to Thursday, please feel free to call back during open hours. If this is an emergency, please hang up and dial 911. If you’d prefer to leave a message, please do so after the beep. After you’re done, you can hang up, or press # for more options.
- Comment on Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't. 4 days ago:
The majority of humans won’t survive the next 100 years, because almost nobody lives to be 100.
Do you mean that the majority of people currently alive will die due to climate change.
Do you mean that humanity’s population will drop by over 50% and will not recover?
Do you mean that in the future, the majority of deaths will be due to climate change, even in 200 years from now when the new (much hotter) equilibrium will be all anyone has ever known? - Submitted 5 days ago to [deleted] | 3 comments

I agree.
I believe it’s up to the devs to decide if they want to, or to not include it as a statement.
But I don’t think that there should be any kind of stigma with having (or using) difficulty options. - Comment on Why is it called eating ass if you don't actually eat it? 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Custom remote backup 2 weeks ago:
Ah, ok then, never mind my answer. I greatly misjudged what you were really looking for
- Comment on Custom remote backup 2 weeks ago:
What are you using for your main backup? It probably has a feature for doing remote backup / duplication. You’re best off using that.
If you don’t, then I think that’s probably your first order of business. There are a bunch of good COTS NAS devices that support remote backup to a similar device or to the cloud. Synology generally seems to be the easiest to use based on reviews, but recently they’ve been getting picky about hard drive support.
If you’d rather DIY then there are some FOSS software options to let you build your own NAS and then back it up to the cloud or to a remote device running the same software. These can get pretty complicated from what I can tell (I’m in the process of doing something similar, been researching). Options include OpenMediaVault, and TrueNAS. TrueNAS seems to be “better” but more complicated and easy to fuck up.
Unraid is also very popular, but it costs money to get a software license. Users swear by it, though.
And on the outside HexOS - a fork (or maybe alternative front end?) of TrueNAS, by some former Unraid devs, with the goal of making TrueNAS as easy to use as Unraid. But it’s both paid and beta, so probably not a good choice yet.These will all allow remote backup to cloud or to a remote device running the same software. They also typically support some kind of virtualization with an app store, so you can use your NAS to host other servers like a media server or immich or home assistant, etc (although app ecosystem abundance will vary).
