You can get sprays to completely alleviate symptoms. And if it’s a severe case you can take injection. There’s also inmune therapy to permanently cure it.

Go with what sounds cooler to you. As they are really no different, and each person could give you a definition of the slight differences they believe they have.
I go with bi, because it sounds cooler to me and because it was the term most used when I was younger so I grew into it, but that’s it.
- Comment on Shipping costs will no longer exist if teleportation is invented. 2 days ago:
Knowing how expending machines are more expensive that buying in a shop, even if the cost are lower. I 100% know that even free teleportation would be more expensive for the user.

To be true is not that hard to pick a lock without knowing the key. If the lock have not antibump technology it’s easier to bumb it than to make a copy of the key.
- Comment on Space colonization would create so many jobs for everyone. Not great jobs but jobs. 3 days ago:
There are several places that could have actual life. Candidates are Mars, Titan, Europa and Enceladus.
NASA actually have protocols to try to avoid cross contamination to those possible environments.
I imagine there would not be a bigger tragedy that completely destroy an alien ecosystem.

AFAIK “woke” started being used by woke people as something good.
Then the right stole the term to turn it into something insulting.
- Comment on Education doesn't increase intelligence by making people memorize things, but by constantly reminding people that they might be wrong. 3 days ago:
If we define intelligence by the development of the brain’s abilities, memorization is one of those abilities. Then, great memorization would be, per se, a feat of intelligence.

It’s good to be skeptical about vaccines or a round earth. Then you investigate and find out that vaccines work and the earth is a pseudosphere.
Skeptical doesn’t have to mean that you straight up deny everything. It only means that you do not blindly believe it. That’s how science is actually suppose to mean. The best way to prove a scientific theory is trying to disprove it as hard as you can.
- Comment on Education doesn't increase intelligence by making people memorize things, but by constantly reminding people that they might be wrong. 3 days ago:
Memorization have importance. We, as a species, are as intelligent as primitive cavemen. Our brains haven’t changed that much since those times.
What allows us to be different, to have a prosper civilization, is the information we have stored. Much of that information is stored in our brains.
Critical thinking is of great importance. Of course. But let’s not dismiss the ability to store that critical information.

All the personal attacks were completely out of place. So that person is out of the debate for me.
You were polite so I will answer to you.
First. Pay per access is no-go. Art is publicly release, pay or not pay access for things that are costless to copy is unrestricted. This already happens, piracy exist and cannot made go away. It’s just its legalization.
Second. Once pay per access is abolished. It’s more important to focus in pay for work or pay for release. Focusing more on making the artist a person who is being patronize for doing their art rather than a salesperson.
Once we have this idea of patronizing, instead of private labels we could focus more on cooperative labels, taking out investors and useless middlemen. People could paid for some artist or some label (which will be exclusively conformed by artist) in order for them to keep making their thing. Some labels could be actually public labels, this already exist to some degree when some state pays for art to be made, just expanding it.
Now that we changed the model in a model were people give their money before they get to see the final product we should put some protections in place to avoid scams and then we are golden.
It’s not so complicated really. Many systems already exist. The history is the same as with everything else capitalism and rich capitalists are in a dominant position so they make any change for the better harder.

So is a world without murder. That doesn’t mean that we should defend murderers doesn’t it?
A world where gay people had equal rights surely was an utopia on the year 1800s, look how far have we come. Thanks to people that though that a better word is, indeed, possible.
Why wouldn’t we strive for a better way of doing things? Why defend faulty systems that we know they are bad just because those are the systems currently in place?
I do believe we can be better.
And if not… Piracy it is.

Any system to evaluate compensation would be better than the actual one, which is a completely mess that does not properly compensate artists for their work.
Currently marketing, frontstore presence and market dominance is far more relevant on a particular artist income than their craft.
Any system that actually would think about what people think about a particular craft, how much time and effort got put into it, how much it was enjoyed, etc, would be better. Currently is just about who can make more sales and get more ad money, the art is secondary and I’m being generous.

Because you will be paid for it?
In the current world I could torrent your music and you’ll be “losing money” and will end up investing more work in anti-piracy and advertisement than in making good music.
If instead you would be paid for the making of the music regardless of how many copies of a digital file you sold by a better system that’s not based on private property and the means of capitalism, it would mean that you could 100% focus on making music and everyone could enjoy the things you made.
Everyone will be happy, except investors and people thriving of this inefficient and unfair system.

I do believe that.
Intellectual property leads to all kind of unfairness. It should be normalized that artist would be paid for the work done, nor for property ownership.
This adds to some other believes about people shouldn’t be paid just for “property ownership”.
And once the art is done and released is part of human race, that does include terrible human beings, but it also includes absolutely everyone else.
Some other argument for this… For instance, being an artist is one of the jobs with biggest pay disparity, from the poorest of them all to some of the richest. That’s a normal output of basing income on property ownership, things snowball once you have enough property.
I don’t think there’s a way to make private property (physical or intelectual) work in a fair economy. And remember, private property is not the same as personal property, just in case.

But what about self farmed eggs?
It’s not uncommon for people in rural areas to have chicken around. Those chicken are taken care of, and roam around big spaces. Those chicken will also lay eggs on their own without any harm done to them. Most harm done is denying fertilization that would be similar to denying of reproduction to pet dogs or cats.
Situations happening in industrial farming are not universal.

- Comment on Plex got hacked. 1 week ago:
Have to point a dns to the ip, buy a domain, stablish ddns. I don’t see it happening often. If you know all that you are ought to know about getting hitm
Bot hits are not a problem for jellyfin. The main problem right now is unauthorized access to endpoints for people who know the hash that is being used in that endpoint.
It’s a targeted attack that hampers availability of the services (making it more available than it should be). It doesn’t make internet more insecure or anything.
As I said previously I haven’t actually known of any of these attacks happening on the wild. As they are kinda hard of pull of. You need to know the precisely hash used for the endpoint, the most normal way of knowing that without being an authorized user is because you used to be an authorized user and you are not anymore. That’s weird in jellyfin current ecosystem. People say that the hash could be calculated by a complete outsider, but I have never seen anyone pulling it off on the wild. You need to know a lot of things about the service you are attacking to be able to do it.
So, yes is a security vulnerability, all software have those. But I think it gets blown out of proportion often.
- Comment on Plex got hacked. 1 week ago:
Not techie people are not going to be able to open it for internet access. If you have the knowledge to set a internet available service you should have the knowledge to be able to provide basic security.
Most security issues with jellyfin are an issue only for a specific type of user. The one who is selling access to their server. The worst Jellyfin security issue makes selling access to your server a higher risk situation.
I hope someday those issues would get patched, but I get why there are other priorities for the dev team right now, about issues that bother to a bigger majority of jellyfin users.
