I know someone who has the same name as her mother, and her grandmother. They all lived in the same household. Imagine, you call her name and all three of them listen.
I never understood this practice in general, regardless of gender. There are so many possibilities, sure it takes some creativity, but it’s not that hard, come on.
@[email protected], where are you? Now this was absolutely a surprise to me, that this was, in fact, not real, just a satire (which I learned from the comments).
Zuckerberg has mental illness.
Thank you for showing me this valuable piece of information. No, I haven’t seen these before.
Until now, I’m 100% confident that it’s impossible to convince someone on the far-right of anything that’s against their views, because I’m from a country that is 15 years ahead of the US on this tragic path into the dark future far away from common sense, thus I have a somewhat clear prediction for the general mental state of the people in the coming decades, which likely cannot be reversed in a century.
Yet, I’m thinking quite often, what I could do as an individual to at least somewhat better the situation in this miserable world. And so far all my ideas are based on withdrawal of content (much like how you take drugs away from a junkie) instead of adding arguments, which is obviously hard to pull off on a large scale.
Not that I could do anything though. Today you need to be rich to achieve something.
Nonetheless, maybe this is the missing piece to the puzzle. I’m considering to pay those extra bucks for that publication, also Welzel’s book; they look promising. So thanks again for sharing.
Possible, but better not make it. When an algorithm has to promote something, there’s bias behind it, whether it’s a good intent or not. Even if it’s all good content, some other, also good content might be missed, because the algorithm or the authority behind the algorithm misses it.
In my opinion, Mastodon is perfect as it is. You see what you’re following. Or on the home page you see everything.
People should really really really learn to seek for quality content and develop a sense for quality and also to exercise critical thinking while trying to separate quality content from garbage. Pick what you wanna see and don’t let yourself be influenced by a stupid algorithm.
Just consuming whatever an app pushes into your face makes you a brainless zombie in the long term.
I got the joke right away, I don’t think there’s any problem with it.
The thing is, no matter how obvious a contradiction is, far-right folks won’t understand any of it, because they’re so dumb. You cannot give them even the most basic, easily digestible facts and explanations, because even that requires a brain, which they don’t have.
So I think, these kind of jokes are perfectly fine for our entertainment, and no amount of facts and information will ever convince the dumbest of the people.
Use less for checking contents of files. Many people use cat all the time, but I don’t like it, because if you do that often, your terminal window quickly gets flooded with stuff, and then you have to scroll up and down if you wanna see a previous output. With less, your file opens in a different “frame”, which you can close when you’re done.
Nothing. I picked a distro that works for me out of the box. On top of that I only installed stuff, instead of replacing stuff.
I find Gnome smoother than macOS.
This wasn’t the case many years ago, but now I find Gnome pretty good, the amount of bugs are surprisingly low.
On the other hand, I experience glitches on macOS regularly on the UI, especially on a multi-monitor setup (I use both Gnome and macOS with multiple monitors).
And generally feature-wise I find Gnome a lot more convenient to use in terms of window or workspace management.
To be fair, YouTube doesn’t have an algorithm that promotes the best videos, either. For quite some time now, it just promotes garbage.
