  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

    Jump

  • Haha, I guess many dog owners just can't see it how it is; probably an addiction to the lopsided unconditional "love". I used to comment something similar back in Reddit, just to see the flood of downvotes and outraged dog owners.

    Same reaction to supporting the idea that some breeds are generally more dangerous and/or more aggressive. "Oh, my MY pitbull is a sweetie!!" (adding this here just to test :D )

  • Yes, I'm pretty sure they were still dogs. No crippling deformities.

    (edit: but if you need to filter "anecdotal" evidence, just add "in the western world, in modern history"?)

  • Thousands of years ago they were dogs, not fashion accessories.

  • What's some really unpopular opinion you have?

    Jump

  • Dogs were hardwired by selective breeding to worship their owners. Not long ago they at least were loyal companions. You got one off the streets, fed it leftovers, washed it with a hose, it lived in the yard, and it was VERY happy and proud of doing its job. Some breeds now were bred into painful disabling deformities just to look "cute", and they became hysterical neurotic yapping fashion accessories. Useless high maintenance toys people store in small cages ("oh, but my child loves his cage") when they don't need hardwired unconditional lopsided "love" to feed their narcissism.

  • what are some advanced linux distros that don't have me compiling everything?

    Jump

  • ... "and actually get something useful (advanced or not) done with Linux instead of wasting time tweaking animated windows transitions and bragging about how many distros you hopped last week"

  • what are some advanced linux distros that don't have me compiling everything?

    Jump

  • What's the purpose? Which application do you have running on Linux that you think you need to compile everything, configure everything, and that will only run on an "advanced" distro?

    Is it some high specialized clustered distributed high performance, high availability computing application where you need your own kernel tweaks in?

    Or are you just a distro hopper, tinkering just for the sake of it and for imaginary bragging rights? If it's for learning, try to establish a specific real goal and learn how to reach it.

  • The author of vim has sadly passed away

    Jump

  • :rip

    :wq

  • Is it just me or is it lemmy shit?

    Jump

  • A peer reviewed meta analysis of a significant number of sources concluded that it's just OP.

  • Is there a way to follow, friend, or subscribe to a user like a community?

    Jump

  • Some social media focus on people, some on subjects.

    One type tends to create "influencers" and circle jerking opinion bubbles, the other forces you to interact with different opinions around subjects you like.

    I hope Lemmy stays on the second type.

    Besides, with the volatility of instances, and user logins not being universal across instances, Lemmy also makes it harder to do that, and as a bonus devalues karma hoarding.

  • Where do you realistically expect the world to be in terms of meeting the 2050 climate goals?

    Jump

  • We'll not meet the goal limit, climate will change, the poor will suffer all the consequences, the rich will be mildly inconvenienced. Habitats will be destroyed, species will go extinct, life will go on.

  • Eating meat creates four times more greenhouse gases than being vegan, landmark study finds

    Jump

  • Instead of going vegan or not having kids, I died when I was 5. Because living also creates more greenhouse gasses.

    In fact, having a small footprint is just a matter of choosing how miserable you're willing to make your life.

    Unfortunately the Earth cannot sustainably support so many people living COMFORTABLY, and eating WHATEVER WE LIKE. The more people, the more miserable is the globally sustainable way of life.

    Curbing population growth - not Thanos-like, but through education and availability of contraceptive methods - is the only way we can all have the cake (and the meat) and eat it.

    Many wealthy countries have their population declining. Maybe if we get to the same level of wealthiness everywhere, less people would engage in procreation.

    In any case, if we just do nothing and the doomsday evangelists are even nearly right, extreme weather, plage and famine caused by climate change will indeed curb the population. Eventually it reaches equilibrium.

    In this case, the faster we get to the edge of the abyss, the quicker the situation will solve itself.
