When women have a crush on men
Jump
Ephera @lemmy.ml 10h ago
I imagine, it has also manifested in our culture for women to exert an abundance of caution and to try to gauge reactions as long as possible, because playing it entirely open can lead to the man developing feelings, and if you then have to break things off, it can get ugly. Some men, even if it is just a tiny fraction, may then turn to violence and rape.
In particular, the men may "blame" you for their feelings and they might feel """justified""" in raping you, because you did tell them that you find them attractive. No, none of this makes sense and I'd need to order another bucket of quotation marks, if I wanted to try to continue making sense of it, which I don't, so let's not do that.
Yes, the same can happen with the genders reversed, but typically the men are physically stronger, which is why this power dynamic made it into our culture, at least according to my pet theory here.

Höre jetzt schon immer wieder, dass wenn jetzt alle umsteigen, dann verkraftet das unser Stromnetz ja gar nicht. Von Leuten, die im ganzen Jahr nicht einmal so ganzheitlich denken, und dann aber trotzdem noch ignorieren, dass nicht alle auf einmal umsteigen werden...

How can I make my laptop a little faster?

I just want to throw in that if you do want to give Linux a shot, you can do so without installing it.

You can prepare a USB stick from which you could later install Linux, but before you'll actually install it, you will boot from this USB stick and then you're able to click around, browse the web etc..

It won't be entirely representative of the actual performance in the end, because it will run off of the USB stick rather than the hard drive, but yeah, you can at least get an impression whether it might work for your usage.

This kind of bootable USB stick is also called a "Live-USB", just to give you another term to search for. And well, you will need to enter your BIOS (or at least the boot order menu) of your laptop to tell it to actually boot off of the USB stick.

It isn't trivial, particularly since I don't know how techy you are, but yeah, before you go through with the installation, it is rather unlikely that you break things by doing this.Of course, it doesn't hurt to create a backup beforehand anyways. 🙂

And yes, I do also think that Linux really deserves consideration here, unless you know upfront that you strictly need applications that do not support Linux. Linux has been known to give old hardware a second life, and your hardware sounds old enough for that to apply here.

Oh, and perhaps also worth throwing in that browsers do work the same on Linux. I moved both of my parents from Windows 7 to Linux and since they practically only use the browser, it took just a few minutes for them to adapt...

Sftp client gor android?

I just saw this on F-Droid, will need to test it, but sounds like it could be really good: https://f-droid.org/packages/lu.knaff.alain.saf_sftp

I'm hoping, it works like mounting or FUSE on proper Linux, where you can just use normal applications to transparently access network files. Then you'd be able to use any old file manager app to actually work with the files...

Ja, gut, ich sprach von dem fiktiven Szenario in dem wir Ranked Choice hätten. Also ja, auch da halte ich es für nicht so unwahrscheinlich, dass sie mit der CDU weiterregiert hätten. Aber theoretisch hätten sie ja vielleicht eine schwarz-grün-linke Regierung erwirken können, je nachdem wie die Sitzverteilung dann ist.

You probably just misread, but just to note that SFTP is different from SMB. They're similar in purpose, but basically competing protocols...

why do people not believe google on the advanced flow thing they will make in android?

Jump

Ephera @lemmy.ml 2d ago

its a corp it cant just make claims and not follow on them

I don't see why you think that. They can't wrongly advertise a product, but this is far away from product advertisement.

Personally, I assume that there will be some flow, because you strictly need that for app development, but that they will try to make that as painful as possible for non-development use, because it helps to eliminate their competition.

Ultimately, this should even fall under anti-competition laws, but people have no trust in that actually being enforced, at the very least not in a timely manner before the competition is dead. The only instrument we have is shitstorms, so as long as there is any doubt, it is safer to keep the shitstorm brewing.

Jo, hat im Konkreten betrachtet natürlich Vor- und Nachteile. Die Linke+Grüne wäre evtl. verhältnismäßig mit mehr Sitzen vertreten und hätte trotz offizieller Leitung durch die CDU evtl. eine stärkere Verhandlungsposition.

Kann aber natürlich auch bedeuten, dass dann vielleicht die Grünen sich trotzdem zu einer schwarz-grünen Koalition hinreißen ließen, einfach weil Regierungsbeteiligung, und dann innerhalb der Koalition auch wieder Schwierigkeiten hat, weil die Linke ihre Kompromissvorschläge auch ablehnt.

Also ja, ist kein Allheilmittel, das strategisches Wählen komplett abschafft, aber die Hoffnung ist eben trotzdem, dass es besser als die aktuelle Situation ist.

Die Annahme ist, dass einige Wähler jetzt für Grün gestimmt haben, obwohl sie die Linke bevorzugen, weil es nicht klar war, ob die Linke über die 5% Hürde kommt, wodurch sie jetzt erst recht nicht über die 5% Hürde kamen. Mit unserem aktuellen System verpufft die Wählerstimme nämlich einfach, wenn man sie einer Partei unter der 5% Hürde gegeben hat.

Bei Ranked Choice hätte man "1. Linke, 2. Grüne" wählen können und hätte in beiden Fällen dann der richtigen Partei die Stimme gegeben.

Yeah, unfortunately I feel like most folks share that school experience. Not easy to teach why to write in a context where the 'why' is essentially just "because I say so". 🥴

Kann mir durchaus vorstellen, dass die Realo-Politik im Moment ankommt. CDU und FDP sind ja irgendwo nach rechts außen abgedriftet. Und keine Ahnung, ob die SPD noch existiert, von denen hört man fast nichts. Dadurch entsteht ein riesiges Vakuum in der Mitte.

Irgendwelche Angstmache von Springer und Co. zieht hier eben auch nicht, weil Kretschmann lange genug an der Macht war, ohne dass die Welt untergegangen ist.

There is no reason to avoid getting better at writing.

I feel like people often misunderstand that writing isn't just busywork, but rather instrumental for developing a deeper understanding. Formulating a sentence forces you to clear out uncertainties you might have. And writing it down serves as extended working memory.

I can imagine there being some middleground, like not bothering to learn where to place commas and having an LLM insert them for you, but from my biased position of already knowing how to write correctly, I do struggle to come up with scenarios where this actually makes a difference.If you know how to read, you'll have a sense where commas aid with that. Anything beyond that is just pedantic wankery anyways.

Well, AI was also quite instrumental in making web search useless. It made it trivial to create infinite spam pages, which search engines have to filter out. Naturally, too much will get filtered out as a result, meaning you can't find a lot of useful results anymore either.
