  • In fact, the “white” race makes no fucking sense. The term is caucasian, and it includes people from all around Europe, the middle east and north Africa.

    The “race” questionnaire has Egypt as “white”, so following that logic anyone from Morocco or anywhere in Spain would also be “white”. Just based on the questionnaire.

    Dunno, weird. I still don’t understand why anything besides country of origin needs to be registered, though.


  • Latino means from Latin America, meaning “the part of the Americas where people talk languages derived from Latin”. Brazilian is derived from Portuguese, which in turn comes from Latin, so yeah the term tracks.

    Hispanic is derived from the Spanish term “Hispano hablante” (spanish speaking), so it only describes Spanish speaking countries.

    Regardless, some people might take offence with the Hispanic term due to its derogatory use in the US and that’s why they prefer the “Latino” term. I’m not gonna challenge their preference, it’s better to use what each prefers.

    Hope this helps.


  • Are proper Spaniards, people actually from Spain … Hispanic?

    None that I know would consider that that term describes them, neither do I. And I’m from Spain, so I know quite a bit of Spaniards.

    The word hispanic is used in “hispanohablante”, which is a word to describe countries or communities that speak Spanish outside of Spain, naturally.

    However, when talking about “hispanohablante” (spanish speaking) communities in Europe for example, the term doesn’t distinguish between South Americans or Spaniards, so idk. It’s just weird to think of us as Spanish speaking people, we are in Spain, of course we speak Spanish. Duh.

    Uh well… according the the US government, basically, maybe. Are they brown? If yes, Hispanic.

    In defense of those southern Spaniards, the US govt. can eat my white dick.






  • the service that downloads video files over an hour long and the service that downloads video files under an hour

    Huh. That sounds overly complicated. I just link everything with my torrent client. Tracker (prowlarr) into media managers (sonarr/radarr) into torrent client. That’s it.

    I have jellyseer in there too but that’s a separate service that just works. The core stack is the other paragraph.

    Everything is installed in my local server using the install script, no docker.









  • I work remote and in my context a quick call is always a video call, which tbh feels low key nice to interact with coworkers.

    Usually they are having an issue and need to share the screen, or are showing me a document they prepared and are explaining their reasoning for feedback, or I had an idea for their issue and I wanted to explain them with some pseudocode… I much prefer quick “calls” where I can show my screen than text, presenting ideas and hearing feedback is sooo much better (not only faster but better) if you can see the face of the person you are working with.
