OP is asking about an accident and responsibility, not a trolley problem.
You pretend AVs can’t make mistakes just face difficult choices. That’s false.
You also pretend AVs are safer than human drivers. Nobody knows if that’s true so let’s not pretend it is.

Moving to a new country is a big change in so many ways. You probably shouldn’t do it for the lulz. Do you have a good reason to move to a specific place? Is there a unique career opportunity, a unique natural resource or community for one of your hobbies, a very important friend or family member living there? Those could be good reasons.
If you have your reasons, bite the bullet, rent a container, and take your stuff with you. Even better if your new employer covers relocation expenses.

It would be important for people to understand that what separates good people from bad people is decency and basic human kindness, not political ideology. In reality, the good people are in the center, and the bad people are on the extremes. Yet, due to the polarization of public discourse, a left leaning person may be convinced that the good people are to the left, and the bad people are to the right from them. If they keep drifting towards the extreme, and keep thinking that everyone to the right is a bad person, eventually they will hate all the decent people in the center, while everyone still to the left from them is an actual monster. Needless to say, the same goes for people who start right leaning and keep drifting to the right. I wish more people realized that the enemies are the crazies on either side, not the moderates on the other side.

Who said this is a forum for the working class? I have not seen this mentioned anywhere. Read the sidebar: this is a generic forum for everyone. I’m inclined to think you are making this up.

Why do you want people with extreme views (left or right) in your community?

thanks, I found it now. fwiw, I asked Perplexity if I can block instances and was told it can only be done by the admin defederating with them. can’t always trust that thing!

I see your point, and I did spend some time searching for the topics I enjoy, but let’s be honest, there’s not so much traffic. A bunch of niche communities have posts every 1-2 months. So naturally, however you sort, some of the more mainstream content (ie political communities, or political content injected in popular non-political communities) will show up in the feed. Which is not a bad thing in itself, but I just can’t keep reading if the majority of comments are toxic.

got it, thanks for the explanation. I know nothing about the content and the general crowd over there, but some accounts registered there were definitely brigading political posts over .world, and not in a tasteful way. I don’t have screenshots or names because I blocked them. I’m not saying this is the instance’s fault.

That’s what I did, because I didn’t know anything about how it works when I signed up. I guess the big ones near the top of the instance list are more random than smaller ones (reversion to the mean), but even there, mander.xyz users tone seems different to me.

Wow, thanks, such a helpful response! I’ll try the web interface for instance blocking. Another sus instance I saw today was blahaj.zone. To clarify, I also didn’t see fascist stuff, I just mentioned it because I felt it important to point out that I also don’t want to see that kind of content. I guess I saw one too many “so you are not a fan of Stalin, you must be fascist” comment today.

Thanks for the link, this was a good read. OP’s title still sucks.

I still think there are different standards for filler words during conversations and titles in writing. In this case, the post title is simply a lie. For example:

Title: Florida Man Actually has Three Legs.
Content: guy’s got such a big dick, he’s practically a tripod.

In this case, that’s a misleading title.

Edit: I also wanted to add that a title is parsed on its own, without context. Of course, “literally” can mean “not literally”, but one needs context to figure that out. In this title, such context is not there.

I don’t think OP knows what literally means. The wsj did not ask the question in the title. It asked a different question.

They don’t simply work because each application needs to be explicitly whitelisted by the admin.

Same goes of course for graph.

Cool, thanks! What do you use for RSS?

Yes, there are plenty of technologies that would work for email, but those are all blocked by the MS tenant, except outlook, which is not released for Linux. Spoofing the From: field is probably not good practice either…

I don’t know the answer, just commenting because I’m curious. Can you just create a second tailnet and add your server but not your own devices to it?

It’s good to see your perspective. I can’t help but think that you view things through your lens as faculty, and are a bit dismissive about the students point of view. For example, maybe you get all the relevant information about events in email, but maybe students don’t - it is true that student organizations frequently use a specific social media platform exclusively for certain communications, and if a good university message board existed, this could be different.

You also seem to dismiss OPs points about faculty involvement in developing university infrastructure. I completely understand that you don’t have the resources, it’s not in your job description, and it’s not a realistic expectation from you. That doesn’t mean there’s no place for discussion about what should or shouldn’t be in faculty’s job description. Same for “there’s no funding for this “.

I am faculty in a private medical school, and I don’t do undergraduate teaching, so my opinion about how the latter should be done in an ideal world is irrelevant. But I have to say, I agree with OPs sentiment that universities shouldn’t let their role as sanctuaries of independent thought slip away in the name of cost efficiency. I hate, for example, that my college only enables the use of Outlook through EWS as an email client, and Office 365 web as a web client. I do understand the need for cybersecurity and their desire to control access to company communications. But I use my college email in a ton of professional contexts that are my independent academic contributions, not college business. Peer reviewing, service in professional societies, letters of support for trainees, grant review for the federal government or nonprofits, contributions to books, etc. And I can’t have an email client on a Linux computer to read and write those emails? I hate it. But I also don’t want to be one of those who reply from a personal email to professional stuff.

I also can’t connect servers or vms that we host for my lab to the university network. If I want a server, it has to be fully managed by IT. There is only one network and it has hospital grade cybersecurity requirements, which I fully understand, but why can’t there be another network where labs can host their own databases, file servers, compute servers, and can connect their own PCs? I used to build pcs for dirt cheap for stuff like controlling instruments, now I have to buy from a short list of pre-defined configs from Dell or Apple, and have IT install Windows or Mac, add it to AD, and fully control everything on it. They do create an environment where trainees don’t even see that you can build and manage your own devices to meet your needs from a small budget and using free open source software. All they encounter is using their domain login to see a bloated Windows 11 desktop with stock market tickers and political news, and commercial software with proprietary algorithms and GUIs that hide what they do under the hood. They learn how to click around to get what they need, not to think about how the task should be done and what’s a good way to implement that.
Anyways, this is just one small aspect of university life but one that is not going in the right direction.

Ffs if birth rates went up in the third reich then people should be thankful for fascism and hitler? Was west germany a poor amd depressing dictatorship and east germany a free and prosperous country, or the other way around? Blocking.

Ok there is too much crazy stuff there for me to take you seriously. If you’re a person and this is your genuine position, that makes me sad. People learn nothing from history.
