    refutation? No, I was joking.

    You don’t joke by saying you are insulted or by saying someone is being condescending. Again, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt – perhaps some language barrier.

    You can’t just explain to people their feeble minds are being manipulated. Like trump supporters…

    Funny you say this when half of the platform is people trying to do just thaaaaaat.

    Huh?

    I am thinking there are some language or cultural barriers here, because the last comment wasn’t me trying to insult you. It’s a direct refutation of your remark about russian agent, and the comparison was meant to complement the earlier statement (that people can unknowingly support something detrimental).

    ITT: a mighty showcase of the divide-and-conquer strategy by psyops.

    Instead of realizing that our goal as an alternative community to Reddit is first and foremost to… well duh, to build a community and keep it thriving, people here are infighting, preferring to subdivide themselves into tankies and non-tankies.

    If Lemmy eventually fails and no other project with a similar feature-set can show up in time, we end up killing the existing momentum.

    If that happens, all of you shall remember this very moment, and bravo to the psyops people (be it from the government or corporate) because you won yet again.

    Donated. Though because I am living in a third world country it’s just a measly ~25 dollars.

    It depends on your hardware if it is Debian. Debian prefers to use an older kernel until the next point release comes, which is nice because a random update likely won’t break your system.

    But… speaking from experience: expect issues (missing drivers etc.) if your hardware is too new.




  • Usually I sympathize with sentiments like this (“people use X because of uncontrolled circumstances”), but browsers are not one of them.

    If you have a website that requires the use of Chrome, then just use Chrome for that website! It’s not an either-or thing – you can install both browsers and use Firefox as the primary one.

    And some people will want to stay on Chrome.

    And that’s what makes this statement so problematic. You don’t earn anything by staying exclusively on Chrome, when both it and Firefox can work alongside each other.




  • In the past, fitness (and hence its proxy parameters like height and other beauty standards) correlated to the survivability of your bloodline. So it makes sense that people are programmed, to a certain degree, to admire things like tallness.

    Nowadays because of technology the correlation no longer exists, or at the very least it is much diminished. But the programming is still there right in our DNA, so as a people we should artificially override this natural instinct because it no longer serves a purpose.






  • Hydrogen is troublesome as an energy storage. The roundtrip efficiency (electricity -> hydrogen -> electricity) is just… very not worthwhile compared to batteries. Then beyond efficiency there is still the question of “how do we store hydrogen safely?”

    Storing energy indefinitely is not a problem for electricity storage, since we are pretty much guaranteed to use the stored energy up in a single day.
