LOL, no they won’t. They’ll just make you throw out your nail clippers and water, while routinely missing shit that’s actually dangerous.

Ah, yes, the Web as it was intended to be, with semantic markup and separate presentation/styling that the user was not only able, but encouraged by design, to override as he saw fit.
I’ve spent pretty much my entire adulthood being low-key pissed off about how that got thoroughly and comprehensively fucked as soon as the marketing fuckwads got their hands on the Web.
What reader mode needs is a (possibly crowdsourced) setting to be the default view on a per-site basis. (I say this because my main problem with it is forgetting it exists and failing to toggle it on.)
I don’t get it. If you’re an immigrant who’s already made it to the EU, why would you want to go to England in the first place?
Literally “sinking” isn’t the issue. Becoming uninhabitable due to frequent inundations and saltwater contamination of their aquifer is the issue, and that’s starting to happen already. “Within their children’s life time” is incredibly optimistic.
Certain people here really hate Media Bias Fact Checker in particular because they believe it’s biased in favor of neoliberalism.
Please understand that I am making an extreme effort to be charitable and polite when I say that trying to spin this tiny quota as being somehow for the benefit of the Tuvaluans themselves is… less than persuasive.
Frankly, we’re already at 1 degree C warming today and Tuvalu is 100% doomed. Forcing many of them to wait until the bitter end – paternalistically imposing that decision on them rather than allowing them to decide what’s best for themselves – is hardly doing them any sort of favor!
But hey, maybe I’m wrong: maybe the Tuvaluan leaders themselves asked for this quota, not the Australians. I don’t believe that for a fucking microsecond, but if you can cite something that supports the notion then I’ll reconsider how I’ve judged you for posting the… comment… you just wrote.
First of all:
The Falepili Union, an agreement letting Tuvaluans escape the impacts of climate change and move to Australia, came into effect last month.
The program is expected to start in nine months and will allow up to 280 people to migrate each year through a random ballot.
Really? The entire population Tuvalu is like 11,000 people. Even if they all showed up at once, Australia’s (population ~27 million) demographics wouldn’t even fucking notice. Hell, they could all move to the same neighborhood in a city like Sydney or Melbourne and even people in the rest of the city would barely notice! What the fuck even is the point of bothering with limited quotas?!
Second:
“It’s a sad situation because we Tuvaluans contribute less to the cause of climate change but we are the ones suffering,” she says.
It is singularly infuriating that even while Tuvaluans take responsibility for their “contribution” to climate change – even though with <$6000 GDP per capita and a whopping 5 miles of paved roads it’s honestly fucking negligible – most Americans and other rich westerners still won’t make any acknowledgement at all of their own. This is Oliver Twist “please sir I want some more” levels of wretched groveling, and our reaction to it is goddamned appalling!
No. If Trump were capable of conceptualizing losing and suffering consequences he wouldn’t do half the shit he does.

This situation you describe is legitimately one of my greatest fears as a parent. I have little useful advice to give; all I can really say is “good luck” and to research terms like “elsagate,” “gamergate” and “PewDiePipeline” to see what advice actual experts (psychologists etc.) have about deprogramming kids from them.
I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because I was trusted to be intelligent and wise enough to critically select what I watched or read and learn from the mistakes I made if I consumed something negatively influential.
I was raised allowed to moderate my own content because my computer-illiterate parents had absolutely no clue what the Internet was capable of exposing me to. Frankly, it was only dumb luck on their part that I happened to have the right personality and skills not to succumb to inceldom, the Alt-Right, or some other kind of radicalization.
(Even more frankly, maybe I did succumb to radicalization: I am, after all, an urbanist leftist Linux user (among other weird things) who likes to hang out on Lemmy, LOL!)
You’re not wrong, but I also think it’s important to point out that just because the US interfered in 2020 doesn’t mean it interfered in 2024. In fact, I can think of a reason or two – like, say, Biden being in office instead of Trump – why its policy on attempting coups might be vastly different.
Exactly: “more progress on peace talks” in this context is just a tankie dog-whistle for “capitulating to Russia’s land-grabbing.”
I agree with your first paragraph 100%.
Re: your second, we know Russia has functioning nukes because, at least until a year and a half ago, we used to go and inspect them on a regular basis.
I don’t recall the reasons for the addition but /media is newer than /mnt.
Something to do with hard-coded mounts in /etc/fstab
vs. dynamically-mounted removable media (USB drives etc.), I think.
it’s soulless car-dependant suburbs that are like Windows!
Some suburbs are nice, too.
It’s precisely the streetcar suburbs that are nice, and they are nice precisely because they are not car-dependent.
No, because a kibbutz (planned intentional community) would be the “cathedral” in that analogy, and the city (incrementally developed community) would be the bazaar.
Linux is the communal kibbutz, Windows is the corporate city.
I was 100% with you until you decided to go and diss cities.
Cities are great and neighborhoods within them can have plenty of sense of community; it’s soulless car-dependant suburbs that are like Windows!
Your point about making stuff up aside… yes, 100%. Who the Hell wouldn’t support a leola root ban, other than Neelix‽
