No, I live here.

I hate

• religious zealotry
• massive dichotomy in polotical ideologies
• identity politics
• warmongering
• brainwashing (pledge of allegiance?!)
• poor treatment of poor and homeless
• prison complex
• poor education system
• incredibly expensive healthcare
• terrible zoning laws and car centricity
• hiroshima, native genocide, iraq, and so many more. The US has shed so much blood and terror inflicted on the world population
• world police, vigilante, the US is basically every bad movie villian in country form
• regressing views on women’s rights
• the history of slavery

“rips” “drags” “slams”

What is with the weird word choice for modern news articles?

Lets whip out the thesaurus, use some flowery language! It can still be easy to understand but let’s expand past the weird 3 verbs we’ve been limited to!

“Senator Matt Gaetz forgot that investigations prove innocence too, and lashes out with his comments about a new investigation into his alleged intimate relationships with high schoolers.”

Really, if somebody wanted to investigate me about something I knew I was innocent about, I’d say “do your worst” not “ugh why would you investigate me” in a whiny voice.

Thank you, wish we could vote on a new title as a community, a’la stack overflow

This old tony is the GOAT

Moving to EVs is great, all countries are following similar trends and it is a good step in the right direction, but China has a long way to go before becoming a bastion of ecological absolution. Shanghai’s fog of pollution is something everyone should experience.

Remember china has the second largest population on the planet, cumulative metrics are useful but miss the bigger per capita picture. Check out the wikipedia article on ev usage and note the per capita numbers

Cat cafe, you can chill in there for ages slurpin on coffee surrounded by the lil gremlins

Wow what a neat project, I have spent a lot of time recently working around vulkan on m1 machines with compatibility layers and while it’s not a huge pain it does suck to miss out on some of the more powerful features of vulkan that the hardware is certainly capable of. I’m not keen on learning metal to bridge the gap and this is just what the doctor ordered.

This will be a huge boon for me, way to go!

I think you may mean eidetic

We don’t deserve our open source heroes, so grateful for the incredible free software ecosystem

Gimp, 7zip, blender, vlc, open office, the kernel, thousands of others, I feel like our lives have been universally improved by these inverted charity projects. The few taking care of the undeserving many.

Who’s taking fish oil supplements? People who are concerned for their health or people who are generally healthy? Observational studies like this seem much less useful than a dedicated study with properly allocated controls

Rocket chat I think checks those boxes

At the start of the study, we asked participants to take a visual sensitivity test. For the test, they had to press a button as soon as they saw a triangle forming in a field of moving dots. People who would develop dementia were much slower to see this triangle on the screen than people who would remain without dementia

Not really, they’re maintaining their asset, just like washing your own clothes isn’t a job you get paid for, keeping your house in working condition isn’t

Ngl kaspersky is the close to the last group I care to hear from about security

Guy shoulda tried emacs instead, wife is probably an elitist

Aww man uncalled destructors were definitely not even on my radar

You can indeed have a virtual monitor from a mac mini, I have to initiate it from the mini though, no option comes up like it does on an m1 laptop

Haven’t tried steam link yet

Not sure it’s possible to avoid entirely, as the community here grows we get more of all types, it’s hard to have a truly only-positive community when moderation is voluntary and the masses have full reign to submit literally anything.

Do you think a technology solution would help? Sentiment analysis on posts and gently redirect people to other communities instead of outright blocking them?

Maybe the only real solution is personal resilience and recognizing that we don’t need to feel negative feelings just because we received a negative communication

I’m meeting up with a friend and their SO for a little hiking and brunch at a local breakfast joint. Picking up the vision pro today for work so that’s exciting!

I think it’s easy to be negative if a person doesn’t consider the human reading their anonymous posts, people feel empowered to take out their problems from life in general on random faceless internet strangers.

The mormons have subscribed to north american horse facts, too bad the timelines don’t quite line up!
