I agree with you in general, but that person was not trying to have a discussion. Had you seen their post history? It was the same thing over and over again spammed to various different communities. The only comments on their profile were name-calling and slurs at the people who criticised their posts. I don’t think we should allow that.
Idk if my answer counts here, I technically have a “living room” in my flat but I’ve got it set up as an office. So, nowhere else for the TV to go except my bedroom.
If I had space to put it in my living room, I’d probably still want a smaller one in my bedroom. There are some YT channels I love watching before falling asleep.
It’s a lot busier and there are more communities, which I’m thankful for. When I first joined I was pretty much always a handful of posts away from being “caught up”.
Brave of you to comment this in the vegan community 😅
I’m also not vegan but I absolutely support ending factory farming, cutting down on meat in general (even free range), and having a veg-first diet. I think we can be better, even if we don’t go vegan. For me personally, the environmental impact (methane) is more significant than any moral directive.
OP, the cognitive dissonance you point out is totally valid. I honestly think it almost entirely boils down to how far removed we (the general population) are from the process that ends with ingredients in the fridge.
If you took me to a chicken coop, gave me a butcher knife, and told me I had to prepare dinner with one of the little fellas I’d probably make a run for it. Which is quite hypocritical of me as a chicken enjoyer.
Perhaps another small part of it is the boundary of what people can/cannot empathise with. To be completely honest I feel far less for things like shrimp and oysters than I do about cows and chickens. I don’t know if that’s backed by the science (they don’t “feel”/comprehend as much) or just my narrow mindedness about how other life forms work.
Nobody else mentioned DuckDNS. It’s free and has worked great for me for years.
You’ll need to install a client that syncs/auto-updates your public IP, then pretty much never touch it again.
My instance has downvoting disabled and (I think) also does not federate downvotes. So 0/default is as low a comment score as I’ll ever see!
I aspire to this level of ignorance - must be quite comfortable.
This is 100% me as a SWE. I loved working on my own projects as a teen. Now I’m weary and my love for it has been displaced by rage and frustration lol. Last thing I’d think of doing after work.
Also a software eng (for now), genuinely thinking of starting my own barbershop lmao.
Distraction from the Epstein files, amongst other things. I straight up call this the Epstein war.
Congratulations!!! Glad I could be of some help. Enjoy :)
This is not the reason. There are US bases in the UAE.
This was exactly my response when someone told me that “from the river to the sea” is hate speech calling for eradicating Israel. Only a zio could view Palestinian liberation that way.
My body runs like an oven when I’m asleep. To that end, I have the heating off by the time I’m in bed (winter), and if the air still isn’t crisp enough, I’ll open the window a crack.
In the warmer months I straight up cannot sleep if the windows are closed.
Edit: forgot to mention that I am in the UK
Not really, aside from sometimes taking short breaks when the notification for maintenance comes up. I ignore it most of the time and do it a bit later.
Don’t mind at all! I’ve had my OLED for about 5 months now, and I use it a ton - about 60 hours a week combined across work and personal use.
Most decent OLEDs come with built-in protective features.
Mine notifies me that it’s due for “pixel refresh” (a 5 minute sequence where it looks like it’s off) every 4 hours of continuous use. I either let it do it and take a break, or it’ll just do it the next time I turn off my display.
There are other mechanics it uses to prolong its lifetime and prevent burn-in, e.g. my display is actually slightly larger physically than it’s reported resolution, and if you look at it very closely, it actually slowly moves the output from my PC around the extra space 1 pixel row/col at a time. So no UI elements will ever stay on the exact same pixel all the time.
I’ve never had to worry about burn in myself; I think the norm is that OLEDs largely take care of themselves now.
Not that big of a deal IMHO; it’s what verification is for, unlike X’s blue check model.
Obligatory fuck ICE.
I’m liking COSMIC better than GNOME, personally. Not sure why you are mad that something else exists?
You’re not expressing the support / ‘live and let live’ attitude you think you are.
Your impression of trans people is based on right wing hyperbole/mockery. You don’t understand it, because “it” doesn’t make sense.
The phrases “man in a dress” or “woman with a beard”does not resonate with the vast majority of people actually in the community.
I can help clear up some of the confusion, if you’d like.
