In 2024, “not a step backwards” = good news.

He wanted to get caught.

Old guy here. My advice: find something you really like and do that. Doing something you like multiplies by 10 the chance you’ll get good at it. You’ll have to try out a few things, which might give you the impression you are wasting your time; but it’s better to lose 3-4 years finding your way than burning up at 35 because you hate what you do.

Deadnaming her would be calling her “Chris Cocker” and ignoring her new name. They are just saying what her identity was before she became Cara Cunningham. Makes it easier to understand the story.

We need a kind of everybody union.

In a democracy, that’s called a government.

Aaaaand why would CloudFlare want to teach the computers to mimic mouse movements?

Oddly specific

There’s a special place in hell for you

Can’t say this enough. The only way to have some kind of power as a worker is to unionize.

Linux distros are maintained by people that want to create the best OS possible. Windows is maintained by a company that wants to sell you something.

In the last years I’ve tried Ubuntu, Debian, crunchbang and PopOS. A few months ago I asked IT if I could change the os on my company laptop from Windows 10 to Linux Mint. It means I have to stay outside the AD domain, but since almost everything (email, teams, OneDrive…) is available on the web, the only downside is not being able to use the wifi projectors. I can live with that. Mint is simple to use, easy on the eyes and stable as hell. And windows games run really well with proton, except maybe Starfield but I can wait :)

Maybe it would be a good thing for the digital world to be free from the concept of ownership.

Even if the messenger might have dubious motives, I think the message deserves to be heard.

Doesn’t have to be connected to the cloud for that, except if you do your laundry when you’re not home.

Please do starfield next

Bioshock infinite comes to mind, even though the timeloop aspect of the game is entirely related to the storyline, no game mechanics use it.

We’ve tried colonization before and realized it was wrong. Maybe a good start would be tostop Israel from colonizing the territories surrounding it, and tie financial aid to this condition?

Am old, can confirm: past a certain age you never see yourself as old as you really are.

For edibles to kick in you have to say the magic formula, which is: “This shit don’t work”.

I’ve heard about that, but I feel a majority of meat eaters are quite tolerant with veganism and don’t see it a a threat to their masculinity. And I think I can say this threat isn’t even relevant in the case of women meat eaters. About the study you linked: it doesn’t really try to take an objective standpoint on the matter since its entire premise is the necessity to convince meat eaters to change their eating habits. Also is says itself (end of section 5) that the link between eating meat and masculinity wasn’t specifically targeted by the study. The authors do mention though that the link between masculinity and meat eating can be attributed to perceptions created by industry marketing. But in this article (as well as in my own personal experience) this link seems at best anecdotal.
