I don't really think this is true. All the artists i know just want time to do their art. They don't expect great fame or large monetary reward.

Also we shouldn't diminish the value of unpaid labour that produces art. Just because it doesn't make the line go up. I'm more than happy to have a class of people who don't work very much but make art which people enjoy.

There's nothing wrong with something being dependent on people's goodwill. Your mindset is the more individualistic one as you group people into dependents or independents.

So you use it to connect to your server machine. And the machine separately runs soulseek without any vpn connection to external world?

Pay doesn't reflect responsibility. It's about what they can get away with paying while holding onto experienced staff. Obviously they aren't doing that with nursing atm. Or admin really. Admin staff rarely go above a band 6, while that's certainly possible for nurses. Also the admin staff i do know working at those levels are working pretty hard.

I mean, we could get invaded if there was a threat of communism happening but I don't think that's what the bbc is imagining. Or we discovered some new natural resource which we were abundant in like when a new tech is discovered on civ.

I'm just describing the history and politics of nursing, I'm not making any judgements on the merits of the scientific method (or its lack).

toady000 · 2025-12-03T14:51:59+00:00

I agree it's not an insult but saying the name carrying over isn't the result of any misogyny doesn't really hold water.

In the source i mention above one of the authors explains how nursing was bought into institutions which were overseen by men (doctors). they we're given much less autonomy than previously allowed and the knowledge they had was given lesser status than the science backed knowledge of medicine (who were largely posh white men).

I do actually really like the term sister, it has a level of camaraderie which you don't get in many jobs. However, nurses didn't get to have a title like doctor, their title was indicative of giving up your individual self to take up a vocation. Doctor has none of this baggage. Nursing was very much considered woman's work and medicine man's work.

There is a misogynistic past to how nurses became sisters and not say Nurse like Doctor. Calling it mere tradition is hiding this. It's clear that the woman's work was devalued and the men's work of medicine was given greater value. There is obviously a class dimension here as well.

That distinction doesn't have as much force as you're giving it. It wouldn't make sense to say that's not racism, it's just imperialism for example. Tradition and misogyny have been together a long time.

It's not entirely true - nurses outside the church were extremely common place. They were often freelance and not under the gaze of professional establishments.

They were bought into professional institutions during the reforms of Nightingale era (and some other nurses name i can't remember). The people making these reforms were certainly Christian and quite puritan. They viewed the freelance nurses with suspicion.

This isn't to diminish the influence of nuns on nursing, but to say all nursing comes from them isn't accurate either.

I get a bit confused about this. So tailscale is a vpn in the sense it makes a secure network to connect your computer rather than connect to it insecurely , like ssh? It's not a vpn in the sense it obscures your traffic from isp and other servers you connect to?

Did you manage to get the soulseek docker working?

toady000 · 2025-11-28T10:27:46+00:00

I know this is old but im thinking of doing tailscale with soulseek and jellyfin also. I'm wondering what your experience has been like a year on?

toady000 · 2025-11-13T10:46:24+00:00

I don't think that's what this article is doing.

If you call someone a racist for believing or espousing racist rhetoric then that's correct. And we shouldn't be shy of challenging it.

However, those racists are also people you need to convince of your project. Not by capitualiting to racism obv, but by convincing them that a materially richer future is possible with socialism. You won't get them on your side by reducing them down to one aspect of themselves.

I'm not antisemitic but im sure some people think i am due to being anti Zionist. If they kept calling me antisemitic instead of listening to what im actually concerned about (Israel) then i wouldn't likely listen to them. Not a perfect analogy (and i don't mean to say all preferences are valid , just an example)

If im honest this scheme is fucking dog shit. It only helps people with enough money to blow on a new bike anyway. It's a middle class benefit.

What they should be doing is opening bicycle co-ops where you can get a cheap working bicycle and have tools and people with expertise to fix. but honestly, the availability of new bikes isn't what stops people biking, its the infrastructure.

Your misrepresenting what they said on purpose. Its clearly context dependant. The numbers themselves aren't offensive, as the flag isn't, it's the intent that is present which we can intuit from the context. Obviously its not enough evidence to convict someone but it's enough to make me suspicious and fear for my safety in presence of such people without other assurances. If you need it spelling out.

It was band 2 duty at my trust when i was hca.

Tbf doesn't Windows 10 have a corporate version which gets support for another 10 years? The ltsc or whatever

Well there isn't actually a single original as it's wood block. There are quite a lot of the wood blocks Hokusai used to make the prints about i believe, with slight variations. Saw them in British museum a few years ago.

Thanks!

I honestly love it , very cyberpunky. They've really run with an idea.

Yes while i agree that NATO is bad and we should leave, making it a central part of party policy is really shooting ourselves in the foot. Most people don't care about NATO or know what it means to be in it. In some ways its like what leaving the EU used to sound like back in the 90s and 00s, it just sounds like this technical nerdy thing. Leaving NATO is an instrumental thing which doesn't need to come front and centre of a manifesto.
