This weekend's #Splatfest is no over. We'll get results about which team wins for what they would do at the end of the world in approximately 2 hours at 3am BST.
For now, make sure to redeem your Conch Shells at the Shell-Out Machine before results are in to avoid them being converted into Money.
Have you considered that it may be entirely irrelevant to why they need help?
Her denying that info makes it easier for women who are trying to avoid being persecuted for getting an abortion to do the same, keeping them safer. If your primary care physician asks as course of habit but your period was regular, its not important for them to have the specific date.
You're being down voted because you've made yourself seem both ignorant and callus.
Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.
I'm bored and want to practice my Rust skills. I am the creator of open-tv. If you have any idea for a linux desktop app, even if it seems quite complex, I will take it.
A gtk app for YouTube and/or twitch intended for media PCs would be neat, with controller/remote support and ui optimization for air mice.
I don't like the ux of kodi very much and trying to get it to play YouTube has been a nightmare 😅 a simple app with a decent user interface would be very welcome
Allowing a country's political party to position their industry in a monopolistic way is a bad idea. When one group controls an industry they much more easily exploit their consumers. Encouraging folks to buy ev's in general is different from undercutting prices to create a dominant position in the market that can be exploited once you have no meaningful competitors
That being said, we all know thats not why they're doing it, they're doing it to protect the interests of US auto makers, which also sucks
Also as someone who knows a huge number of feminists that are militantly anti-terf, it's categorically untrue that strict, trans exclusionary interpretations of who counts as a woman are in any way an intrinsic aspect of feminism
You're right though, he will need a strong support system, and I also hope there are folks in his corner
When Bloomberg reported that Spotify would be upping the cost of its premium subscription from $9.99 to $10.99, and including 15 hours of audiobooks per month in the U.S., the change sounded like a win for songwriters and publishers. Higher subscription prices typically equate to a bump in U.S. mechanical royalties — but not...
Being hostile to folks who are different from you on the basis that they're different from you is shitty behavior. Leave that kinda shit for Facebook
You can make a life choice without going out of your way to antagonize folks who made a different one. You know, exactly like you're bitching about people doing on your blog post.

I think it takes a while for that kind of competitor to emerge and gain enough traction to become a genuine alternative option. The primary option everyone long since adopted kinda has to suck for a while :/
I don't think something like duckduckgo is gonna be the eventual contender to take on google. I think it'll have to be an engine with its own index or some kind of lateral solution.
Something like brave, kagi, qwant, or stract could maybe turn into something exciting with more momentum, but honestly I have a hard time seeing them be the kind of scrappy competitor with a new approach that unseats the old king who has lost their way in pursuit of more profit at the expense of product quality. None of them seem like they truly have a new approach, but only time will tell how that story plays out this time.
Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...
As much as I'd like that to be true, I've definitely still seen vegan spaces online that are intensely alienating and hostile 😅 when I was using reddit, often anything from r/vegan that hit r/all was pretty hostile to anyone who hadn't already decided it was an important issue for them and made big lifestyle changes accordingly, adopting veganism.
To be totally honest I've also never seen any beef industry propaganda encouraging people to hate vegans or resent veganism. If you can think of any examples off the top of your head I'd be curious to see them (if nothing comes to mind thats fine, I don't intend that as a gotcha)
I'm not vegan (grew up with an eating disorder, not in any position to cut stuff out of my diet or make eating more complicated/difficult, though I have a lot of respect for vegan ethics) but I am a big nerd about open source stuff and linux, and I've observed similar things in that space. I have a friend who's averse to open source stuff because folks have evangelized to her aggressively and with the same sort of superiority complex many folks perceive vegans as having. I'm grateful she's excited to listen to me talk about the stuff I'm excited about anyway these days, but I'm careful not to make her feel pressured to drop proprietary software she's using for open alternatives because I want her to feel respected even though she's not invested in this thing I care about a whole lot
I think when you work hard to adopt a big change for reasons you're proud of, it's easy to view yourself as superior for having learned the thing, or made the dietary change
I think you're pretty out of touch with how most folks experience eating meat. I don't say this as a personal attack, but I think the emotional experience you're ascribing to folks who do eat meat is inaccurate
I think thats fair, but I don't get the impression most folks who eat meat consider it wrong at all, never mind in such a black and white way. I have a lot of respect for vegan ethics and even I have mixed feelings on whether I consider it explicitly wrong or immoral
Right, being crass on Twitter is why people don't like him. Has nothing to do with being a fascist who wants to dismantle the democracy of the US and become a dictator

As someone who much prefers gnome for my desktop this shit is so frustrating. I'm kinda just waiting and watching to see if they ruin another thing I like about it :(

I think it’s clear you have never experienced being sexualized when you weren’t okay with it. It’s a pretty upsetting experience that can feel pretty violating. And as most guys rarely if ever experience being sexualized, never mind when they don’t want to be, I’m not surprised people might be unable to emphasize
Having experienced being sexualized when I wasn’t comfortable with it, this kind of thing makes me kinda sick to be honest. People are used to having a reasonable expectation that posting safe for work pictures online isn’t inviting being sexualized. And that it would almost never be turned into pornographic material featuring their likeness, whether it was previously possible with Photoshop or not.
It’s not surprising people would find the loss of that reasonable assumption discomforting given how uncomfortable it is to be sexualized when you don’t want to be. How uncomfortable a thought it is that you can just be going about your life and minding your own business, and it will now be convenient and easy to produce realistic porn featuring your likeness, at will, with no need for uncommon skills not everyone has
In fairness social media already has a problem with creating an echo chamber that serves only to reinforce and exaggerate your existing world view. I think to some extent exposure to perspectives other than one’s own is important and healthy.
Honestly my experience with pop OS hasn’t been great, which is a shame cause I’m rooting for the folks at system76
Though I also think it might be kinda hard to compare performance in that way with respect to the idea of the post, since you often use different applications for the sorts of resource intensive tasks where you see performance impacts, or the cross platform software available may be better optimized for windows. Which is absolutely relevant, it makes no difference to the user, but I think the post is meant to suggest that windows 11 just leaves a ton of performance on the table relative to what windows 11 could be like if it was better made
This is mostly just me thinking out loud into the void, I don’t intend to argue with you, I just like talking to folks and sharing my thoughts
Just because you don’t find yourself needing a given port doesn’t mean no one should have one.
My USB c port broke from being cycled too many times with a stupid headphone dongle, and now I can’t charge it with a cable OR use my god damn headphones. I like my headphones, its obnoxious that I can’t just plug them into the device I want to listen to. I get it’s not relevant to you but it is relevant to many other people which is why so many people are still bitching about it years after almost every manufacturer has removed the port. Every single day its frustrating I don’t have one. Its frustrating when my friends want to play music in my car and they don’t have one.
I got my headphones for Christmas and I LOVE THEM, but I can’t even use them with my phone :(
HeliBoard keyboard is an improved fork of the now-unmaintained OpenBoard keyboard. It does not require internet permission, allowing it to be used 100% offline....
I had the same problem using droid-ify until I uninstalled openboard for some reason. (Technically I uninstalled the fork that has since turned into helibord, but it was called open board also before they renamed it for f-droid release, so it still showed up as open board in droid-ify, just a newer version)
It did show up in the normal f-droid app for me though
Someone forked the project (made a copy and started making updates and improvements to the copy independent of the original developer) and I installed it directly from the forked github repo, where it was getting updates. But they didn’t rename it until they published it on f-droid, so the app still showed up as openboard on my phone, just a newer version than the one available on f-droid
I mean, he’s responsible for a pretty heinous thing in this instance… It’s not like people are pissing their pants over nothing.
