  • For me personally I don’t have much control over my empathy. Sure I can look at someone and glean their emotional state based on conscious guessing, but my “affective empathy” as you put it, is more my brain subconsciously picking up on their emotional state and then sharing it.

    For most emotions, including anger, it’s not targeted. Not until I actively participate in the emotion. It’s also not something that applies to everyone and every situation, with my own personal emotions easily overriding the empathetic emotions.

    Of course, everyone experiences empathy their own way.




  • I have a Pixel 7 Pro, in the U S. (and some other countries) call recording is disabled by default and sometimes it’s possible to get your phone to think it’s from a region where it isn’t, and then enable it, but I haven’t really looked into it recently. It’s also really fucked because my state in the U S. allows call recording, so I really feel Google is being lazy by restricting it countrywide.











  • Most guns don’t really wear out in a reasonable timeframe. Properly maintained they can last quite a while. My first gun was from the 80s.

    For gun owners in the U.S. if we no longer want a gun, don’t want to go through the hassle of selling it, or the gun is unsafe (due to wear and tear or defects), or wherever reason really if we just want to get rid of it we have many options.

    We can surrender a gun to our local police, though they may run its serial which might lead to awkward situations if you aren’t certain of its history. There are also gun buybacks which are essentially events where you can discard a gun for cash incentive, and are typically no questions asked. You could also donate it to a local gunsmith for practice. And finally, you could render it inoperable (the ATF has guidelines that basically boil down to “weld the important stuff”) and simply discard it like trash, use it as decoration, or whatever really.

    Ultimately they either end up melted down, welded inoperable, or simply discard / forgotten.



  • The Dockerfile is essentially the instructions for deploying from scratch. Sure, they most likely only exist for one distro but adapting isn’t a huge chore.

    You can also clone the repo and build the container yourself. If you want to update say, log4j, and then attempt to build it, that’s still entirely possible and easier than from scratch considering the build environment is consistent.


  • Not to mention a dead pixel can be indicative of future failures. My brand new Pixel 7 Pro had a single dead pixel. I didn’t notice until I finished setting it up (or maybe it didn’t show up until then). Being lazy and not wanting to set it up again, I decided to ignore it. It was at the bottom, out of the way.

    A month or two later I woke up one day, checked notifications and took my horror that dead pixel had upgraded to an entire line at the bottom. Enough was enough, I missed my window for a store return but was able to get a RMA setup. Replacement is going strong, no dead pixel and none showing up.
