@lemmy.worldI'm curious about rehabilitation. I believe crime comes from access to resources and/or from a lack of emotional education (such as empathy, patience, and sympathy).
When I hear news stories of horrific crimes, I often start to wonder: what would have prevented it and how can we move on from it?
I don't believe in the death penalty and I don't believe in forced labor. I do believe "confinement" paired with education, food, comfort, and time to reflect is part of rehabilitation.
What does it look like in Star Trek? In other words, what does western culture see as the "epitome" of a rehabilitation center?

Stop trying to make customElement happen. Do this instead.
I want to see a list for each popular server (e.g. the top 10 lemmy instances) and I want to see - for each instance - with whom they federate. How can I do this? Any sure-fire way to know if a instance like HexBear.net is being federated with lemmy.world? How do you know?
I use Windows for work and Firefox was having issues with DNS resolution. I reached out to my IT and they couldn't figure it out. Chrome was also failing to resolve the IP: timing out/errors with connection status.
But Microsoft Edge was totally fine. It resolved websites without an issue. I told IT about this, but they said they haven't implemented any policies that would hurt Firefox or Chrome. I found some forums online where people suggested renaming the Firefox.exe
to something else; I renamed the executable to Fox.exe
and suddenly it worked - immediately. I tried A/B testing this. I renamed it back to Firefox.exe
and it failed again. Renamed it to Fox.exe
and it worked.
What the hell is this? Someone said it was Microsoft Defender, but my IT didn't seem to think so and I trust them. They would have just said "don't use Firefox" if they didn't want me using it. They spent quite a bit of time reading logs and such to help me debug this.
I don't understand how something like this can pass under Window's radar. Bizarre behavior that seemed to impact any non-Edge browser. Super sketchy.
For now, I run Fox.exe
. But this does cause issues. Windows - in all of its genius - doesn't recognize Fox.exe
as a browser. I can't set it as a default browser for my OS. That means the OS fails on all hyperlinks since it doesn't have a default browser to open them. Slack, Outlook, etc. They all fail. So now I'm left copy/pasting links into my browser URL bar if I need them.
I hate Windows. /rant
I'm an experience software engineer, but I have a had a hard time just "jumping into Rust". I really want to know the language, but I've struggled to build something in it.
However, I watch YouTube videos while I run on the treadmill at the gym. I've tried to find a series that explains the Rust borrower and some of the concepts surrounding that, but I've been unable to find a good one. I've watched ~15 videos on Rust, but a lot of them just stop after the basics. They are supposedly "series," but once they hit the borrower, they stop the series prematurely. I'm not sure why.
But if anyone knows of a good YouTube channel that sort of does a "Rust language overview", which does a reasonable job of covering Rust's flavor of references, structs, generics, Box<es>, borrowing, and some of the advanced features, I'd appreciate a link. I'll be going on a 3-4 mile run tonight and I'd love something to occupy my brain so I don't suffer so much.
This is a bit of an ad, but I swear I don't sponsor H&I. I just use them a lot. My wife and I bought "bunny ears"/an antenna for our TV when we lived in the Midwest. We also watch H&I on the west coast. Almost every night they play one episode from each popular, live-action, series in order of production: TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise. The start time depends on your location, but I believe it starts around 7pm Central Time.
It has commercials, but I don't mind since the shows are "free" over the airwaves. I haven't tested in the east coast but I bet a lot of the country has some coverage.
Our antenna also has some MacGuyver, Stargate, Baywatch, and some other popular old shows. I just think it's cool that we can have access to such great shows with a one-time cost (and commercials). It's also great because it works during internet issues (as a backup if streaming is failing). My wife and I often just left it on in the background while we worked or made dinner!
