I’m not talking about the technical possibility. Of course you can have multiple video stream, one per participant.

I’m saying that without multicast, it can be more resource intensive than having intermediate servers that can multicast on the application layer.

Is a connection between 3+ people still p2p? Or is there another term for it?

I don’t know how this would work over the internet though.

On a LAN you could use multicast, but I don’t think ISPs support multicast, it seems like it would be an easy way to DoS. But I honestly don’t know.

So, if you can’t multicast, the way to have serverless multi-user video calls would be to have a separate video feed for each receiver, which I can see using more resources than through a server that would replicate the stream to all the receivers. Of course this is dependant on distance, even without multicast it consumes more resources if everyone is in the same LAN.

1. My argument has nothing to do with trans or sports. My point is that his opinions are not contradictory.
2. Yor point has gone from “you are wrong for being a contrarian” to: “you are wrong because _____”

Fill in the blank please.

And what I’m saying is that what you claim I claimed was never claimed by me.

Since the discussion seems to have derailed let me do a brief summary:

• Original guy: here are some opinions I have
• Other guy: your opinions don’t make sense, some of them contradict other ones
• Me: they don’t contradict at all. It is perfectly coherent to have those opinions.
• You (correct me if I’m wrong): your opinion is wrong because it seems you’re a contestant for a contrarian contest.

I tried to make the least offensive analogy possible in order to have a logical conversation around the topic. But it still got an emotional response. I don’t think you’re arguing in good faith.

The second paragraph is called projection. I never made the claim that those opinions are correct because they are contrarian, yet you keep making the claim that they’re incorrect because they are contrarian.

I don’t understand how being contrarian or not makes an opinion less or more valid. Who decides what mainstream is? Whoever gets more upvotes? We should never ever have an opinion that will get downvoted on Lemmy? Or is it a democratically elected process? In that case, the mainstream opinion in the US in 2020 was that the best person to be the president was Donald trump. Does that make it correct?

You’re yet to give any argument other than “those opinions are wrong because they are contrarian”

First of all, that’s not my opinion. I’m defending the other guy. Since he’s getting his opinion denied under the untrue argument that his opinion is contradictory, when it is not. See the user names.

Second point, “not supporting trans athletes because they are a small group” is not at all what I said, but you are acting as if that were what I said. Let me repeat it again so you can see the difference: you don’t need to support every policy that claims to support a small subset of a group in order to claim that you support that group.

Since it seems hard to understand let me say an example. There is country “chairland” where the chairpeople leave happily. Inside chairland there is a town called “tabletown”. Person A says: “tabletown people should have free access to Netflix!” And person B says: “No, I love chairpeople, but tabletown is not entitled to free Netflix”. Is the claim of people B contradictory? Can’t a person support chairland but not support giving tabletown free Netflix?

And yes, everything in that original comment made by the other guy are opinions. “Trans women should compete in women leagues” is not a fact, doesn’t matter how progressive you are, it is under every definition of the word: an opinion.

You are free to have any opinion you want, I don’t believe in thought crimes. I don’t know why you place such importance on “contrarian”. Is someone that has an opinion different than yours a contrarian? Are contrarian opinions not valid? Therefore, are opinions different than yours not valid?

Contrarian about what? Who are the contestants? I don’t understand your comment.

What is it revealing that I supposedly didn’t want?

Yes. I believe that you can support a political group without supporting 100% of the policies that supposedly support that group.

Basically because it’s impossible fro 100% of the people on the group to agree on exactly which policies are hurtful and which are helpful.

Of all the things in your comment, getting right the “you probably call yourself a centrist” is the least significant part. You’re wrong in all the rest of your comment, which is the actually important part.

Whether someone calls themselves left, right or center is way less important than the policies they support.

Because guess what. You can’t fit the entire world in 3 political buckets and expect everyone in each bucket to have the same opinion as everyone else on that bucket.

As I said in another comment. The world is not black and white. There’s lots of shades of grey.

And each person has a different combination of shades of grey for each political topic.

There is no contradiction.

Not wanting trans-women in sports doesn’t make you not support LGBT. T is only one letter of 4+. And trans-women is only half of T. And athlete trans women is a small subset of that. And athlete trans women that want to play in women’s leagues are a subset of that.

You can reward people based on accomplishments and also tax the rich. You can also have social programs while still rewarding them.

You can improve the environment without a complete ban of fossil fuels.

Or some people just have nuanced opinions and see that topics can be multiple shades of grey instead of either white or black.

I’m surprised they at least know they have a problem. I would think these companies would just say “look how the sales numbers haven’t changed, that means that we were correct in doing the AI thing. Without it, sales would be sinking into the ocean!”

And how are women pushed out of “man jobs”?

And how are we fixing that?

Is it bosses that aim to have male coworkers turning down women? How is that different than bosses wanting artificially 50/50 turning down men?

Is it not being represented in advertising? How is that different than what happens now. Where most advertising displays just women? Or if there is both a man and a woman, the woman is usually centered in the picture or doing a more important/powerful role.

By “encouraging” women in the workplace, what you see is things being done to men that you complain was done to women.

I got the viking one for free. Didn’t make it much farther than the initial area, which is hours long.

I’d say they are worse than mediocre.

Take into account that in order to make PRs to a repository you don’t have access to, you have to make a fork of the repo. Which means another repo.

Glib us licensed under LGPL. So unless your project is happy with that, it’s as if it didn’t exist. That’s one of the problems of having a small standard library.

Definitely the worst part of working is to give up 8+ hours of your day. It doesn’t matter if it’s a trip or staying in the chair looking at a computer. You still took away 8+ hours of my life.

In fact, when I signed up for the job, I did so wanting to be hours sitting in a chair looking at the computer. Not for “socializing” or whatever. I would prefer another day in the chair, since that trip will just give me less time to meet my deadlines.

It is not only an issue due to forever growth. Birthrates are so low in some places (like Japan), that the new generations will just be crushed by the (economic) burden of the older ones.

Older people don’t contribute much to the economy, but they spend a lot. It’s just how it is. Older people are usually less healthy, and less healthy people eventually consume more resources than they can provide. This burden means that the younger generations will demand change to the government, and that will make retirement either worse or harder to achieve. Which will lead to the old days of working until you drop dead. Or distopian-like situations where old people willingly die to not be a burden, or even worse, they are killed by the government.

And as you say, immigration just fixes the short-term effects. That future is inevitable with birthrates so low. Inmigrants usually adopt to the birthrate of the country very fast.

In the meantime. This is a valid business model.

If you believe that more people being into politics will help the trans, we don’t have the same experience.

In my experience, the people that approve of trans people are all politically active. The people that aren’t politically active don’t tend to like trans people.
