yes but when you have it talking basically exclusively about "love", it's much harder to swallow
i'm also not religious and having lived in a remote place for more than a year, i lost count of the amount of times i sat at the grass in a completely meditative state by starring at clouds, mountains and sunsets
nature has proven calming effects on humans... bird sings, even plants on the roof of an urban area can have positive effects just because of the vision
i highly doubt a christian church has the same effect. everytime i see a church i think about atrocities commited by the religion and alienation
and hopefully soon we have decentralized protocols as the standard when we think about user spaces. amen
not big but i'm still happy about how it allowed me to build a really expressive musical tracker with micro-tonality implemented by default. partly by Csound score paradigm but we also have an interesting macros, a scale paradigm for adding notes and real-time p-field information

exactly. i recently started to play the 1° Colin Mc Rae on the PS1 and if anyone miss having to save manually with waiting times i bet they are blind by nostalgia. nature forbid Gran Turismo 2 menu transitions without the '20 times faster loading times' on retroarch. save states are a bless
> They hum. That's about it.
lol. just by having a light pole there you start disturbing the insectoid life
Brazil has one of if not the best laws about conservation on the planet!
with that said, ~ 80% of forest loss is due to livestock, which great part if not all expansions by now are illegal. we export most of our meat. now a bunch of moralist are worried with their bellies full of cheese and meat
exactly. unconscious bias is an observed psychologic phenomena and i have my doubts if an adult can opinate agnostically about all of them. sure you don't want your kids getting together with bullies but that's basic compassion. let them tie/explore with people freely
oh no! your over estimating the hundreds of millions of USD saved from a health population that doesn't have to deal with air and noise pollution... also have you ever thought about the infrastructure of public transports? i don't cycle, much less mix myself in a metro/tram with all kind of people /s
quite sad to see that even educated hackers ain't getting this is a bad news - solar is dirt. nasty chemicals on it's production, nasty thrash after it's commercial span is over. nuclear is much more reliable, has tons of space to improve, cheaper and greener over the long term. such a shame this greenwashing
> (And I don't mean that as a criticism, there's nothing wrong with wealthy people buying collectibles.)
there's a whole lot of systemic issues with wealthy people buying low-poly cars to their collection.
which is your next argumentative step? say your not disrupting an ecosystem that probably outlives the early human specie by hundreds of thousands of years? average North American that thinks just because you have money the planet and species living within are after your narcissistic ideals
HN crowd be like: THANKS GOD APPLE WILL NEVER OPEN-SOURCE THE DE SO WE CAN'T HAVE THEMES FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO WANTS THEM
should i also mention that people who funded their religion hunted jews searching for the holy grail and were present at one if not the biggest holocaust of human history (the colonization of America, between 1500 and 1600, which killed from 25 to 100 million people)
it feels like the release of Habbo Origins, WoW Classic, Runescape Classic and so on... basically everything social you could make with Orkut you can with Instagram and this one has novel stuff like the stories/reels
no adult has time to hug and kiss via virtual characters like we did when we were teens and we were experiencing for the first time the "internet/social-media" thing - with that typed, an ad-less social-network if gets popular is certainly better than the shit show of Instagram/Tiktok had created but people using social-media to connect to their friends aren't obligated to follow influencers, so maybe it's irrelevant? my deleted Instagram account which by joining the game quite late (2-3 years ago), rendered updates of all my school friends and i didn't saw any ad. after making it clear i wasn't interested in seeing ads. in-between my friends stories
Finding Nemo was the first DVD i got from my parents. great stuff on Disc 2!
i don't think one necessarily needs the best of the best... probably cheap is enough for a bunch of people
i'll start by having my OLED smartphone dying after many years and the one i got used LCD. much worse and it felt like plastic. colors, brightness, even if my screen now refreshes twice as fast as the previous - fast forward 2 years i don't think i ever thought about the difference, nor saw it after 1 or 2 weeks with my phone
totally valid critique on durable products and better substances for cleaning although
i would say Librera FD, much better on Android than KOR, specially for images
dios mio!
i just came back to GNOME from KDE after messing something with my system (disk space was eaten fully i don't know why) but all your points are mostly invalid... you can literally start GNOME out of the overview with a simple extension install, then you can launch your apps via whatever you f** want! dmenu? custom shortcuts? mouse gestures? a python script that will listen to your voice? based on weather? come ON, you talk like the bash doesn't exist
your max. and min. buttons are just a toggle in Tweaks app - i have a dedicated button on my mouse which toggles the speed sensibility (inside GNOME not on hardware), really useful for doing digital collage work on GIMP
now the extension critic i found it valid! but who knows how far someone can get with AI... personally i had a custom text box at my top-bar after 2-3 prompts which informed where i'm with my keyboard layer (running QMK, doing HID communication)
Apple is a big pile of shit with biased design much harder to modify but also: locked down to the point your now eating ads. in your expensive premium aluminum box
oh yes sure. just like we can shift the population into installing Debian into their machines so we also deter M$ and Apple abuse /s
how the wealthy would get more votes in a direct democratic system? they are literally the minority, thus fewer votes
> Democracy is about (in theory at least) giving each person a meaningful say in their own governance, which in turn implies not allowing any single person to become too powerful.
this is "direct democracy" and it's not even close to exist in USA... even with that a society can allow powerful people to exist if they don't create any law forbidding that
