the first time i built a pc i spent weeks fiddling around till it worked properly. Don’t sweat it. It’s normal to learn.
The issue for me is I had put the RAM in gently but it wasn’t actually pushed down enough. So I was being too gentle ahah. I think pretty common for beginners to be too cautious so don’t freak out it’s most likely something silly and fixable.
I hate downvote culture. I think it’s worth downvoting if someone is saying something harmful or evil or bad faith. Apart from that, if I don’t really like the post, I just ignore it.
Do archea harm other mammals? Other vertabrates? Other animals? Other eukaryotes? As far as I can tell they don’t.
Why is it a suprise they don’t harm humans?
Also this meme is a bit weird. Because eukaryotes (so animals, plants and fungi) technically evolved from Archea. So if we apply classification biology logic we are Archea. And eukayotes do cause diseases in each other ie. parasitic worms.
But in practice in english Archea excludes the eukaryotic branch.
Jellyfin is basically as easy to use as plex within the same network. I’ve set up both dueing the past 6 months. The only big difference is that Jellyfin is much more of a pain to work through port forwarding.
It’s important to separate the personal from the political here. You’re right that not every instance of genetic selection is equivalent to Nazi-style eugenics. But you say that eugenics is “not inherently bad” without really looking at proper definitions or recognising the deep social and historical baggage it carries, especially in how it’s been used to justify racism, ableism, and state violence, and that risks repeating the same logic that allowed those atrocities in the first place.
Choosing not to pass on genetic diseases through voluntary IVF and screening isn’t the same as state-led population engineering which is what eugenics often refers to politically. The key difference is consent and context.
When you talk about selecting against diseases like sickle-cell anaemia, you also have to ask: who defines what counts as a “horrible illness”? Who decides which lives are worth living? (For example, your example of sickle cell anemia comes with the caveat that this illness makes one immune to malaria, which is why it evolved in a significant chunk of the subsaharan african population. Yet Sickle cell anemia was also a favourite scapegoat by 20th century eugenicists to argue that african genes were “inferior”).
Historically, eugenics has disproportionately targeted disabled people, people of colour, poor people, communities with less power. Even modern-day genetic screening isn’t free from those power dynamics. So, no, it’s not “propaganda” to be against eugenics, it’s a necessary ethical stance informed by history and lived experience.
And the IVF example isn’t really eugenics as it is understood. For example, here is the wikipedia definition of eugenics:
Eugenics (/juːˈdʒɛnɪks/yoo-JEN-iks; from Ancient Greek **εύ̃ (eû) 'good, well' and **-γενής (genḗs) 'born, come into being, growing/grown')[1] is a set of largely discredited beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population.[2][3][4] Historically, eugenicists have attempted to alter the frequency of various human phenotypes by inhibiting the fertility of those considered inferior, or promoting that of those considered superior.
So a better example of eugenics is for example the nazi slaughter of 80% of people with schizophrenia. Thinking that by “removing the bad genes” schizophrenia will go away. Yet modern day germany has an average rate of schizophrenia, so that didn’t work. (Ignoring that fact it was literally genocide and is morally apprehensible in nearly every way).
As someone who’s be dead without caregivers. Just wanna say I really appreciate the kind of work you do.
