(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?
  • Ubuntu: For shilling all kinds of profrietary garbage by default. If I wanted that I'd be on Windows.

    Also the changes they make to GNOME make it worse, they take away what makes it good, the flow.

    and then they called Moses a socialist
  • "Conservative Christian" is and oxymoron but having never read any Jesus, its easy to identify that way.

    First of all you don't become a conservative Christian by being willing to read. So lets imagine DeSantis misspoke and said "The only way to ensure that Trump can violate The Constitution and overthrow our democracy is to read the New Testament and understand it"

    Here are some probable outcomes:

    • They see that Jesus is a leftist and can no longer call themselves Christian, when asked their religion they say "none, atheiest".
    • They see that Jesus is a leftist and conclude that the bible was simply written by leftists and that it isn't true.
    • They see that Jesus has good ideas, unconsciously redefine what conservative means to them, and stay quiet until someone they considerd a friend angrily calles them a libtard for stating one of jesuses teachings in disagreement of something thet had repeated from facebook.
    • They see that Jesus is a leftist, they trust in their lord choosing his love and reason over the hatred and fear of man and can no longer call themselves a conservative.
    • They conclude that Pontius Pilate and the Roman government where the good guys and Jesus was an evil libtard who earned his crusofiction and they start worshoping Pilate instead.
    • The whole thing goes over the readers head
    • They strengthen their belief by ignoring parts that clearly don't fit their belief, and twisting anything that can kind of fit their beliefs.

  • I'm sure that's the case, but the meme is not making fun of typescript, its making fun of his dad: JavaScript, maybe for not comparing to his son: typescript

    I'm being harassed by mosquitoes, how do i kill them all?
  • I made this simulation to show how effective attraction to a bug light can be an emergent property of a mosquito's navigation and confinement, even though they are not attracted to light innately.

    See my mastodon post.

    Thanks for sending me in this direction, its been fun!

    Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?
  • At least here in the free world we have to manually build echo chambers and "The Algorithm" does not build them around us without our consent.

    Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?
  • I disagree about SO, though I am not a fan of it for other reasons. Interesting thought about acting on convictions. Thanks.

  • GNU/Linux: software center; install

    Android/Linux: system app store; install

    Windows/NTOS: web browser; maybe verify website url?, download, open, run as administrator, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, next, finish!

    Does the reddit style format inherently make for a toxic environment? Or is it a culture of toxicity from the influx of reditors? For lack of a beter example, on stackoverflow, when someone down votes you, it comes with a comment saying how to improve. On mastodon, people can't downvote you. These platforms are a joy to use, lemmy is depressing if you post. Its depressing because every post or comment, no mater the quality comes with downvotes, and usually no criticism to accompany it, you are left not knowing if youve made a mistake, or if its just trolls, bots, or idiots. At the end you feel insulted not improved. What do you think?

    • Engineer: No problem, we can fix this on the terminal
    • Designer: Woah, you're a hacker!
    • Engineer: No, it's just the terminal.
    • Designer: Where are all the buttons, icons, and dropdown menus?

    [joe@fedora ~]$ echo echo echo echo echo echo echo [joe@fedora ~]$ cat speak Meow meau miaw meooou! [joe@fedora ~]$ source code print('Hello World!') [joe@fedora ~]$ cd rom [joe@fedora rom]$

    • echo: repeats you, it repeated "echo echo echo"
    • cat: displays the content of a file if given, the content of the file "speak" was "Meow meau miaw meooou!"
    • cd: I changed the directory my shell is working in to a directory called rom
    • source: runs the commands in the specified file in your shell the command in the file "code" was echo "print('Hello World!')"

    I've observed a connection between lovers of computer languages, and lovers of human languages.

    If you are interested in coding or linguistics, are you interested in both or just one of of the two? If only one interests you, which one and why? If both interest you, do they seem related to one another?
