  • SerenityOS and LadyBirds: Because These Things Shouldn't Hide in Closed Git Conversations - ░ Nova Online

  • Imagine you have been purposefully targeted for harassment or excluded from activities in the past due to your preferred pronouns or perceived gender. Seeing "he" with that context would likely feel excluding, which is a reason someone without an 'agenda' would want to see it changed.

  • Biden signs TikTok “ban” bill into law, starting the clock for ByteDance to divest it

  • If I'm reading that right, that could also say that Instagram is suppressing anti-israel content? It's just saying that in comparison to Instagram tiktok is showing more x, y, z. But Instagram is absolutely not a neutral point to measure from.

    For starters there's different demographics on each one, but I'm sure you could adjust for that, maybe the study did. But I don't think you can adjust for the impact the US government has on Meta. I don't believe for an instant that some US agency isn't manipulating algorithms or requiring certain tweaks to steer discourse just like they did with US news outlets.

  • In the show "3 Body Problem" (I haven't read the book) the statement was made 'our civilization is no longer capable of solving its own problems'. Would you agree?

  • I'd diagnose the problem similarly to the person you replied to and I don't think I'd feel compelled to offer a specific remedy either.

    People have been experimenting with economies and societies for thousands of years and we are in a relatively new money/power/control stuck spot right now. I'm sure there's been a system in history that would work much better than what we've got, but I just read recreationally so I dunno what it is and just because something worked 1000 years ago in North America doesn't mean it'll work here today. I wouldn't mind giving something new a shot though, what we have is not working for most people.

  • ‘Romeo & Juliet’ Play Starring Tom Holland and Francesca Amewaduh-Rivers Faces ‘Barrage of Racial Abuse,’ Producer Says ‘This Must Stop’

    Jump

  • Yeah, more like I worry that was your implication, it was hard to read it any other way.

    I'm sure the younger crowd are just as interested in a play from 1597 as you were in the 1900s, and doubly so in Tom Holland. Seems like the tickets would sell themselves

  • I don't understand how this play could possibly be hard to market, it's possibly the most famous English stage play with very famous people. What am I missing here?

  • Hey, I'm new to GitHub!

    Jump

  • But it is often additionally used as a software package distribution platform, so it would be helpful for some developers to reach their users by having a clearer path to the most current release.

    I can personally do without a special button, and the op is obviously making a joke, but why not improve the UX for some users? It's certainly possible to do this without impacting the smelly nerds who wouldn't use the button.

  • Older houses are fun to renovate

    Jump

  • We had a mold issue stemming from a shower vent not connecting to the roof and just dumping humid air into the attic so we wanted to fix that. Found rotten newspaper from the late 40s as insulation mixed with vermiculite under a thin layer of cellulose, which we treated as asbestos and had that professionally removed. Under that found a whole spiderweb of live knob and tube which wasn't connected to any devices, was disconnected from many of its knobs, and was missing insulation in many places while it was draped loosely over some metal plumbing up there.

    The project started as a disconnected shower vent causing mold, and ended up with a whole rewire of the lighting and outlet circuits in the house. Wild stuff.

    We were also swapping out the breakers for ones up to code since we had messed with the circuits, and one a/gfci breaker just kept tripping. Found a light fixture that had evidentially been sparking away up there for who knows how long.

    Feels really good to have had eyes on every box in the house and know that what's there now is leagues safer than what was there before.

  • Linux tablet?

    Jump

  • I just installed Fedora with KDE plasma and Wayland last weekend using the surface kernel. Was pretty painless, after abandoning a couple other distros that did not play nice.

    The instructions on the GitHub are also very good, though obviously every years surface has its challenges I'm sure.

    It pains me to no end but I'm back on Windows :(

    Jump

  • I'll second this, I've only had issues with a couple games, even brand new ones run with proton and it just works. Obviously distro and hardware make a big difference (I have AMD) but even when I had an NVIDIA GPU it was very simple and stable with only a little messing around with drivers up front.
