I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but a lot of the world's major cities and economies would grind to a halt if you magically removed cocaine and speed from the planet. Hallucinagens have aided in scientific discovery by helping people make connections they would never otherwise think of, not to mention the benefits of microdosing for mental health reasons. Do you believe art and music benefit society? Well, I guarantee your favourite artists have likely used "illegal" inspiration.

Does marijuana benefit some states but not others due to varying legality? Do legal drugs necessarily benefit society? What is the societal benefit of alcohol, or nicotine?

Whether a drug is legal or illegal is largely due to political posturing and nothing to do with societal or health benefits. And before you think I'm pro legalising everything, I believe highly addictive and debilitating drugs are the ones that should illegal or at least controlled. Ice, heroine, and (currently legal) opioid-based pain killers to name a few.

I'd say he cut through the bearers, which is somewhat worse.

How the fuck is the election infrastructure even allowed to be privately owned?? I know the US is a capitalist country but fuck me, there have to be limits. For the democracy the US seems to enjoy forcibly spreading around the world to work, elections MUST be independent and verifiable. The fact anyone thinks it's OK that this infrastructure can be bought and sold is just mind-boggling.

You mean child sex-trafficker Jeffery R Epstein? Yes, this is his close friend and fellow paedophile Donald J Trump.

This really smells of Russia v. Finland. I can only hope it ends in similar fashion.

Man, I'm SO glad newspapers don't tell the whole world whenever I say something stupid. That would be really embarrassing.

Americans interfering with foreign elections? No way! That'd never happen! Surely after they interfered with

Albania Chile Panama Costa Rica Cuba Australia Indonesia Congo Iran Iraq Afghanistan Vietnam Cambodia Laos Dominican Republic Brazil Bolivia Egypt Angola East Timor ... and many others

SURELY they wouldn't do it again!

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Yeah but it's propaganda when other people do it.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Well, yeah, apart from all that. Fair points.

I am absolutely sick of Windoze and I'm trying out Linux Mint for my work computer. This has been a bit of a learning curve but I have almost everything working the way I want... but the sticking point is my company uses Dropbox for all file sharing and repository.

I first naively installed Dropbox from the Software Installer but that tried to sync the entire company (many TBs) to my computer. It seems there is no Smart Sync option.

Next I installed Rclone and logged in using that, but it seems to be completely command line based which is absolutely useless. There is no way I'm going to sit here typing out full directory paths and file names every time I need to access something (which is always). I then installed RcloneBrowser, and later the Rclone web GUI, however they BOTH skip the parent folder and put me directly one level down, which is also useless.

Ok I know what you're thinking. I need to create an alias, right? So I did, and my config file now has the lines

[DB]

type = alias

remote = Dropbox:/

but this makes no difference in the web GUI or RcloneBrowser! The frustrating thing is if I use the command line the results I get are:

rclone lsd Dropbox:/ parent directory. Good so far...

rclone lsd DB: parent directory! Yay! So why doesn't this work on either GUI???

If I can't get this to work then I will have to get rid of Linux unfortunately. I can see in many forums I am not the first to have massive issues with Dropbox, but it seems the alias approach works for everyone else. What am I doing wrong?
