Pretty sure the original post is written in the context of a typical large US supermarket with outdoors parking lot.
There people often buy more groceries then they can carry so they go with the cart to their cars to unload them. After doing that you’re supposed to push the cart back to one of cart sheds located in the parking lot, yet many people just leave it where they unloaded it and drive away.
I’ve recently had so many random freezes of the system, hangs on shutdown, panics on shutdown, freezes in system updates, that hard reset became a thing I did several times a day. Yet there were no systemd logs, nothing in dmesg, literally zero information on what happened.
I was skeptical in blaming Nvidia because at this point it became a Linux chiche, but then I started to switch to integrated graphics (disabling dGPU) and all of the problems miraculously went away.
“mogging” is a relatively recent meme representing a situation where one person next to others has radically better looks in some way or another, supposedly creating a subconscious atmosphere of their superiority. Typical examples are photos of bodybuilders next to regular people.
I also run a lot of proprietary stuff like Discord or Instagram due to peer pressure but I let it slide and put my hopes on Android sandboxing the apps and GrapheneOS tweaks. In my opinion, making sure that proprietary app can’t reliably access your data and never giving it anything sensitive yourself is a decent risk model.
The only proprietary software I use and somewhat trust is Obdisian. Honestly, it’s just excellent and I can’t see myself moving away from it anytime soon.
30℅ regular church attendance is still crazy, blows my European mind. I personally don’t think I have ever met a person who attends it even once a year nor I ever knew of such people through friends.
I’ve upgraded to Pixel 7 last year to run GrapheneOS. Honestly it was a very underwhelming upgrade. My 2019 Oneplus 7T is still kicking running LineageOS, could go back any second and not notice.
United Russia and current Russian government really love to go through the motions and put up a facade, as then their supporters have additional grounds to retreat to in their demagogy.
They can always say “Oh but look we counted the ballots it adds up!” and if you point at manipulations like these they can say “Oh but these were unique cases! We excluded them and the votes still add up!”
Well this comment section was an interesting read. Interesting how many comments still bend the discussion towards bashing lemmy.ml and defederating from it. People, it’s not even the topic of this post?
Also it seems like very few actually read the post beyond the title? The problem is not lemmy.world banning the piracy community, they have the right to do so, that’s how federation works. The problem is them making a promise to make announcements about such bans in advance, but they instead did it quietly in the background again.
That’s actually very ironic, the game needs about half an hour to get you hooked and yet so many people quit it beforehand. You’ll understand what I mean when you play it
Recently went on Reddit and laughed hysterically at the amount of religious propaganda I saw in this format. Example:
The problem I see with federated wikis is potential creation of echo chambers. Current Wikipedia is often a political tug-of-war between different ideological crowds. For instance, on Russian Wikipedia, Russian Civil War article is an infamous point of struggle between communist and monarchist sympathizers, who often have to settle at something resembling a compromise.
If both sides had their own wikis, each would have very biased interpretation of events. A person who identifies as either communist or monarchist would visit only the corresponding wiki, only seeing narrative that fits into their current world view, never being exposed to opposing opinions.
The economy!
Pretty simplistic, but I really like it :)
I think everybody puts too much emphasis on it being a strict generational thing while imo it’s mostly a force of habit.
I’m on my early 20s, and used to take around 10 seconds to read an analog clock. Fully digital mind. Bought an analog wrist watch this summer and merely 1-2 months into wearing it I started understanding it instantaneously and all of “half past” type phrases click immediately now.
Wow are you talking cybertrucks with spiked stainless©️ steel wheels??
At least these are not sweetened gummies lol
People forget that all souls games are set specifically in periods of total collapse. Between these there have been thousands of years of hyperbolic prosperity. Someone built Lordran, Lotric and Drangleic you know
It depends really. Big chunk of Imperial core is living somewhat fine without much of an outside threat. If you’re luckly to be born on a planet that does well economically you may live a happy life of decent sci-fi.
Not every single imperial world is a hive world full of gangs and mutants that experiences an ork invasion, genestealer infestation, and a chaos corruption simultaneously lol.
Reading some of non-spacemarine novels like the Eisenhorn series shows a lot about how common imperial worlds live.
Hi, which countries did you live in? I’ve also lived in several countries throughout my life and only experienced what you’re describing in the US (at least in the city I live in, maybe it’s a bias)
