  • What opinions about the tech industry do you feel comfortable expressing here, but not in public/at work?

    Jump

  • I think it's definitely the majority. The problem is that a lot of tech developments, new language features and Frameworks then pander to this lack of skill and then those new things become buzzwords that are required at most new jobs.

    So many things could be got rid of if people would just write decent code in the first place!

  • How Trump won the election

    Jump

  • This would make a lot more sense if there was any attempt to define liberalism - apart from just "liking capital", which is meaningless anyway.

  • Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay?

    Jump

  • Oh man - I really love kiwi strawberry Snapple. Am also not gay if that's relevant.

  • Speaking to Israeli Soldiers about Palestine

    Jump

  • I have no idea what the majority of Israelis think about Palestine and Palestinians, but this video is probably just seeking out arseholes to ask their thoughts. Every group of people has arseholes.

    I'm British and socialist, but I would think it would be very easy to find 20 minutes of footage with British people saying appalling xenophobic and racist things about just about anyone.

    That all said, the people being interviewed in this video are scum.

  • Deflection

    Jump

  • Trump is stupid and dangerous, but Hamas are dangerous and evil. It's really not the same thing. Also, I can hate Hamas, defend Israel's right to defend themselves and also believe they are killing far too many civilians.

  • Fuzzel, app launcher and fuzzy finder has feature-packed 1.11 release

    Jump

  • I'm a huge fan of fuzzel - can't compliment it enough.

  • Anyone made a DIY immutable distro?

  • [Video] AOC claims Jill Stein is predatory because "her party hasn't grown enough" in Instagram reel.

    Jump

  • That isn't what she's saying at all! She's saying that if your party isn't growing then maybe the leader is kind of rubbish and should be replaced. Very different from his you're hearing it.

  • [Video] AOC claims Jill Stein is predatory because "her party hasn't grown enough" in Instagram reel.

    Jump

  • Honestly, I'm not sure about predatory, but in everything else she says she has a point...

  • Harris Will Continue to Ignore U.S. Law and Arm Israel, If Elected

    Jump

  • Because Trump is so concerned about the rule of law and is a known opponent of Israel...

  • See-Through Windows Make Clean Electricity From Raindrops

    Jump

  • Honestly, if this was all it did I'd want it. Our house is south facing and the front of the house gets very hot in summer. Windows that effectively limited the amount of heat that could come through would help a lot - even if, as you say, it doesn't actively cool

  • I was once told by a doctor that everyone gets bitten about the same amount, but some people just don't get a reaction.

  • i'm 40 years old and just had ALL my teeth extracted in one go. The pain is excruciating. Any tips for pain relief?

    Jump

  • Just to say - this has not been my experience of free healthcare. Not all of it has been great, but most of it has.

  • Meta to broaden hate speech policy to remove more posts targeting 'Zionists'

    Jump

  • You mentioned Judaism. You think Zionism had nothing to do with Judaism? You think dehumanising anyone - including Zionists is ok?

  • Meta to broaden hate speech policy to remove more posts targeting 'Zionists'

    Jump

  • You think that dehumanising, calling for harm or denials of Jewish existence aren't anti-semitism?

  • Meta to broaden hate speech policy to remove more posts targeting 'Zionists'

    Jump

  • shown that the term tends to be used to refer to Jews and Israelis, with dehumanising comparisons, calls to harm, or denials of existence,"

    This is not confusing the two - this is specifically targeting anti-semitism

  • Android users, what's stopping you from switching to an iPhone?

    Jump

  • Mostly IOS. Price as well I suppose.

    Genuinely can't think of a good reason to switch at all.

  • Why in 2024 do people still believe in religion? (serious)

    Jump

  • Because they're convinced it's true. Given that billions of people in the world ( I strongly expect it's the majority) would claim to be religious - perhaps the better question is: "why does anyone not believe in religion?"

  • Why in 2024 do people still believe in religion? (serious)

    Jump

  • There is a significant difference, but, in my limited experience, many people are religious, but don't actually believe, but they think they do believe. When the rubber hits the road you find it what a person actually thinks is true.
