it is still the same, but we're already conditioned to have everything thrown at us on every single internet interaction, making the thought of searching something new seem like stepping out of our comfort zone

with AIs and what not, this feeling will only worsen

usually, western languages have a set flow of reading, from left to right, top to bottom

seeing as there is text in the meme, and the logo is literally at the starting point of a conventional western text...

no, I don't think so

im fact they're closing one of the last scaled down power plant simulator, where scientists and students could have a hands down experience in learning about It

things can be demonstrated by math, wdym?

it has a larger complexity, and more variables to calculate, but overall 1+1 is known to be 2, you don't need the calculator to demonstrate that

that sounded condescending, but I meant it as a genuine inquiry

I don't like the idea o LLMs everywhere, but I do use chatgpt quite a lot as a point of entrance to any topic that I might not know the existence of yet

This joke is awesome in Portuguese.

Adan and Eve translates to Adão e Eva

Adão e Eva, doesnt sound like anything, but

Eva e Adão, spoken all together sounds like "It's a big fag"

And I find that marvelous.

God did Adan and Eve, not Eve and Adan.

I was running endeavourOS with kde plasma 6.0 and wayland

couldn't make discord screenshare work and had to switch (1 click in the login screen) to x11

I don't truly understand the implications, but now my problem is solved

The only downside I can see is retaining my human sentience. Be that the case, life would be an even harder struggle, to hunt food everyday and try to not get eaten alive by predators.

There's also few but existing examples of people that resist the selling urge, like the VLC dev

the problem isn't switching, the problem is making all the other people using It to switch too, not everyone cares about security or ads

good reason to have a dual boot then, windows strictly for gaming, linux for everything else, at least that's how I do It

hswolf , 3 months ago

dual boot godhood

windows: games

linux: work/everything else

hswolf , 3 months ago

yep, and to avoid procrastinating, I only install game related stuff on windows, and only install work related on linux

yes, because the average user doesn't even know there are different browsers, and that they can change the default one, which is great to "vendor lock" your own browser, in this case Safari from iOS

Yeah I know that feeling, is soul crushing.

You spend so much time learning and improving a craft, you think you're not top-level yet, but you surely is a reference in the area.

Then you see that person, usually younger, absolutely crush your skills by a landslide, making things that kept you several nights awake, seem like child's play.

Then you start to question what were you doing all this time, were you lazy? Did you have a good path to the point you are? Are they just special? Are you just lacking? Will you be able to keep up with that person (this applies mostly when we're talking about a job)?

Then you realize no matter what you think, It is what It is, but now you can't even muster any strength or aspirations, because you will never top their speed, you're just and old and incapable thing, drifting away.

Get me a cigar.

I worked before in a startup with 30~40 members.

Discord was awesome for communication an administrative bulletins, you could check at a glance everyone who was online and join calls in a single click.

Also we had text channels for specific projects, and for a in-depth discussion of a specific thing we created threads in the same channel, anything of importance could also be pinned down.

With that out of the way, I think if done correctly, It works just fine, It's a different medium than a forum, since the last is used for future reference, and the former is for on-demand discussions.

Also any platform can be shitty If the wrong person is holding the reins (i.e. Github issues boards)

I don't think that's the right perspective to have on this, a good action isn't bad just because It wasn't the best action possible.

And the solution you brought upon, would still leave the first problem afloat, "great, we reduced plastic consumption, but who's going to remove the plastic that is already in there?", It's a paradox you see? If he chooses option A, people will burn him at the stake because he didn't choose option B.

I was skeptical at first when I first got aware of him, then I did some research and there's a ton of philanthropy there, lots of people got some help they needed.

EVEN if it's done with ulterior motives, the non changing fact is that people indeed were helped.

Whichever motives he has behind his persona, he has helped more people than most could or would've helped in their entire lifetimes.

it's a process that sadly won't be stopping anytime soon
