You can politely ask them about it. Maybe there’s a good reason they threw it out. Maybe it’s infested, or broken.

The people who say you become more conservative usually mean that you will become more well off. And indeed when they earn their financial freedom, they want to protect the status quo. So they start seeing others as threats: be it young people wanting more rights, employees wanting fair salaries, immigrants coming for your hard earned money, everyone is a threat. This is the how the mind of an unempathic person works.

I am more conservative in the sense that I see things with more nuance. I understand societies are very complex systems in a fragile equilibrium and that my naive solutions to the world’s problems are not feasible.

And yet, each day I’m more convinced we need to eat the rich.

Yup. Sorbet is often made with orange or lemon flavours.

This should be higher. Even broken iPhones from 3 years ago sell for tens or hundreds of euros.

OK. Now how to make a floppy drive?

It only looks better because of nostalgia. I think the filter-less ones look better.

We don’t have the tech. Cells are tiny factories capable of ingesting nutrients and producing little chains of proteins, fats and other stuff.

We don’t currently have the ability to build machinery that small. With CRISPR we kinda start to tap into that power, to modify genetic code to do what we want, but it’s still far from reliable enough to create a potato 3D printer. We’re big monkeys with big hands and it’s hard to manipulate tiny things.

Same. But the question still stands. Worth pointing out several features are missing in Instagram for Web so they definitely want you using the app.

Didn’t they change the song? They removed that letter.

I have no issues like that. Maybe your microphone is damaged. What has been bugging me is the top speaker sounds terrible.

I feel you. I once was messing around with python and realized I had too many python versions installed for no reason, so I uninstalled them all to install a single one.

Oh the pain.

Flip to what? There’s no alternative in the US. You voted for Trump because you were pissed at Hillary? That sounds absolutely idiotic.

This is what the “why do you eat fake meat if you’re vegan” crowd doesn’t understand. You typically want to eat what you grew up eating.

Yup same. I always wondered why there was a user folder when we already have home.

I totally agree. I guess that’s also what I meant but couldn’t express.

My comment was about our current society. But it applies to lots of things like family relationships, work etc.

The downsides you would only read on Linux communities. My mother couldn’t even begin to understand what snap is about.

I think there’s 2 kinds of people. One kind reads or watches this and thinks “this is horrible and this system should be abolished”, while the other kind thinks “I need to screw others over so I can retain what power I have, and try increase it”. The second kind includes the “temporarily financially embarrassed” who see socialism as a terrible thing even if it would benefit them.

The reason I still choose Ubuntu, or sometimes Mate, specially for other people is because I know it’s highly likely to just work on any laptop I throw it into. Most people don’t care one single bit about the downsides of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu is much less user hostile than windows. My parents only used Ubuntu for the past several years because they inherited my old laptop. They just want to Google stuff, so all they need is a familiar browser.

Oh for the love of Linus, block all notifications requests from websites at the browser level. Comon people accept all notifications requests and get inundated by them.
