@claire03098238 @Etanarachel IQ isn't a debunked pseudoscience, that doesn't even make sense. What was debunked? IQ is a perfectly valid way of measuring somebody's ability to do the sort of tasks in an IQ test.

@Etanarachel IQ is debunked pseudoscience so why is this even a conversation
English
@schieldprokop @DanielW_Kiwi But you don't have to write better code than them. You just have to write code better for your use case.
English
@DanielW_Kiwi You're asking the wrong question. Pretty much anything can be rendered as web content. The decision to structure your application as web content is an admission of defeat; you're declaring that you are, in fact, not better at writing render code than all the people behind Chrome.
English
Can someone explain why a desktop app needs a web rendering engine?
brendan@brendonovich
we've moved opencode desktop to electron. it's faster, more reliable, and will replace our tauri build soon. try it out in beta via the link below.
English
@_baklon @dissproportion you might want to look into adult literacy classes
English
Medieval peasants must have slept with babies under the covers, and they were all drinking beer all day (even kids did!), and they didn’t have modern fireplaces so their huts were pretty smoky. How much of the infant mortality rate was “SIDS”??
English
@MakeUSAVAT @tacitdimension but that's not what they believe. They believe that the original purpose is exactly what is written. God wouldn't give them imperfect instructions.
English
@tacitdimension I know in judaism things like this are supposed to be intentional loopholes put by god that one is meant to find but it really does defeat the original purpose which was modesty.
English
We need a better class of antisemitism. By God the goyim are actually stupid. "ShE's TrYiNG tO tRiCk GoD"

Covering your hair for ‘modesty’ with a highlight lacefront lmaoooo most retarded religion on earth

@AbdulWa23583324 @spinelessaisha But using subcommands and flags is too much for the average user, I've been told. That's why I use Gentoo, a distribution that just works for the common folk. no -S, no 'install', just plain old 'sudo emerge firefox'
English
@spinelessaisha sudo apt-get install firefox brave chromium
sudo pkg install firefox brave chromium
sudo pacman -Sy firefox brave chromium
English
@Merluchhh @Y40IFRQTTING i mean this isn't really linux's fault. windows is also too hard to install for most people.
English
@Y40IFRQTTING it needs to be much easier to install too. no mint is not easy to install for most people.
English
People haven't realized that Linux is a perfectly viable "out of the box" Windows alternative for everyday use because the Linux community is full of people that modify the fuck out of it for hyper-specific uses. Most of the frustration with Linux also comes from those people.
aisha@spinelessaisha
getting peope lto use linux is hard because the average linux user is so incredibly out of touch with how the average perosn behaves that they'll get mad and call them illiterate and wonder why most people refuse to use linux
English
@tiniestlilkrug @HiroAntag @Y40IFRQTTING surprise, Chromebooks are Linux. I think they're actually Gentoo-based, funnily enough.
English
@HiroAntag @Y40IFRQTTING i don't know how saying that you've recreated a chromebook from first principles is supposed to be a flex
English
@DonnieDorko4 @Y40IFRQTTING has the smartphone really degraded the average person's computer sense so much that the concept of installing a driver or changing a setting scares them
English
@Y40IFRQTTING Sure, but also then sometimes you'll have to modify system files to get your controller to work
English
@mschoening so there's this thing called knowing how a computer actually works
English
You should just run everything on your own VPS, guys! Not knowing whether you got hacked is as good as not getting hacked.
English
@QuaneilousDookZ people who make malware are not going to stop making malware due to social backlash. people who might be hacked in the future will likely be discouraged from behaving in ways that will get them hacked if they see people humiliated for exhibiting said behaviour.
English
I kind of wonder why we’re not going after the people who make malware-breaching OS-ending hardware and instead the teenage discordians who will obviously fall for it because that is the naive demographic they’re targeting
-Zerunii- (IM BACK)@zmwiffy
Guys please do not fall for this. This is how it happened. Image Collection 1/2
English
@navinquisition @ImperfectNORE frankly if you make it to fifteen without intuiting the basic principle of "don't download and run programs you are not 100% sure are safe" it might just be time to pack up and switch to Apple
English
@ImperfectNORE Are they not teaching kids internet safety?? Kid is 15, should have been taught that stuff years ago
English
do you guys not know how your own friends act
-Zerunii- (IM BACK)@zmwiffy
Guys please do not fall for this. This is how it happened. Image Collection 1/2
English
@scruffyjay @ImperfectNORE being kind is the issue here. the historical culture of the internet includes vicious mockery of anyone stupid enough to be hacked. this encourages people to be cautious and educate themselves, lest they be hacked and mocked viciously.
English
@ImperfectNORE OP is 15, the scam may be obvious to us but if you're a young teenager and have never seen this scam before mistakes are possible. being kind costs nothing
English
English
@DeckhandBoJa @ImperfectNORE I think no small part of it is that schools done teach internet safety nearly as much as they used to
English
@falseroxy @StLouisVI @AdemLuz and get stuck with a massive medical bill because they were poisoned. should their poisoner go unpunished and get off scot free for causing them bodily harm and leaving them in debt?
English
@morallawwithin Anthropologist Joseph Henrich coined the acronym in his 2020 book to mean Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic.
He teaches at Harvard, so he must be right.
I just finished reading a book that references him.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_WEIRD…
English
Why are they using the term “WEIRD” instead of anglophone? Does the same problem exist for non-anglophone WEIRD countries? Does it exist for anglophone non-WEIRD countries? I worry people just like using the term WEIRD
Linguistic Discovery@lingdiscovery
Most languages are not English That is, English is not very representative of what the world’s 7,000 languages are like
English
@xXShadowKunXx @shadowzelyuri because that very real child is not being given an abusive mother who starves her and controls her so that she wins at beauty pageants, she is being told to pretend that that is the case, as all actors do.
English
@shadowzelyuri People are apparently sensible enough to understand that the fiction characters fictional mom is wrong for putting her daughter through that but then can't fathom that the very real directors are also wrong for making the very real child do it.
English
why did they even make a child film this scene is all I’m wondering really
ele 𝜗𝜚 the boys s5@kittijmn
oh young annie 😭💔
English
@StLouisVI @AdemLuz they would probably shit for a night or two and be fine the next day
English
@Jasmine11637695 @Etanarachel would it be better for you if she said "severely impactful" and "moderately impactful"?
English
@lyzantine @Etanarachel 1) To claim that someone has severe autism (she also used the term "moderate" autism as well) is, without a doubt, claiming that autism is a linear spectrum condition that goes from mild to "moderate" to "severe". which it doesn't. It shows zero actual understanding of autism. >
English
I really don't understand how "severe" and "low functioning" are disgusting. They're just accurate descriptions of his level of disability.
Alicia Painter 🫒 (they/them)@AliArthPainter
@PatriquinCarla @DoctorPerin @zagreus92 @Duskblossom As a 'non-gifted' autistic person, the way you talk about your younger son is disgusting.
English
@GorillyG @microwave_user Nobody is freaking out over the concept of being recorded. The issue is being recorded and that video of you being uploaded to the Internet for the entire world to see and judge.
English
@microwave_user You are in a public space, you're always liable to be being filmed. Flack cams and other government cameras are constantly filming you. If you're terrified stay at home.
English
Had the displeasure of encountering my first Meta Glasses user in the wild yesterday, it's an incredibly invasive and uncomfortable experience to interact with someone wearing them
𓅃 UAE Exotic Falconry & Finance@FalconryFinance
she lives for this
English
@stillknockz @microwave_user the government and big corporations are already recording everybody so you can't actually complain that some random guy can record you and make you in particular the target of online harassment
English
@microwave_user It’s definitely corny and weird but truthfully the meta glasses are honestly trivial compared to the surveillance state we already live in
English
