Think of Arch as the distro not as it’s users. Sure you can install Arch as a noob by copy pasting from ArchWiki or nowadays just using fancy install scripts.
However, if you pay attention and maybe fuck up a few times then you will get that knowledge.
Also ArchWiki is a source of knowledge that is valid not only for arch but most other distos as well.
I still find it crazy that those books existed in the first place. When I grew up you only needed a name and you could look it up in the yellow pages to get their phone number and address.
However, where I lived it was possible to opt out from this.
Then this would be pretty shitty.
However, pixelfed is very straightforward about the fact that the focus is on image posts and even if they would not advertise that fact you should realize in less than five minutes of using it that all the posts you see are image posts.
Additionally there are enough apps out there that show all content (I use the default mastodon app to see image posts as well as text posts, etc.). If this is what you want just choose that app.
And if somebody makes an app that only shows text posts then this would be great for people who only want to see text posts. I really don’t get the authors problem.
Would you settle for a mail provider which silently drop all emails you receive if they contain the letter “P”?
Yes, if the mail provider is advertising the fact that they are dropping everything containing “P” AND if I’m currently not in the mood to read anything containing “P” AND if there are enough good alternative mail providers that do show me things containing “P”.
What a weird take.
I think a good way to deal with this would be assignments that also (partly) prepare you for the written exam. So if you sit down and do it yourself and actually understand the assignment you already did some learning for the exam.
I had one course at university with homework assignments that were super tough. I did it all by myself but in the end I learned so much that I didn’t even need to study for the written exam and got a top grade. Others who did not do their assignments on their own had to study hard for the written exam and in most cases got way worse grades or failed.
This.
Being able to talk to a computer is pretty cool (to me). But I want it to be “my” computer that respects my privacy, acts in my interests and doesn’t talk to anybody else.
This feels like Americans voting behavior. “The thing I liked has gone to shit, so as a protest I will take double shit with extra piss”
It looks ass on this picture. However, it kinda looks like a steamdeck without a screen which is no surprise. And I quite like the steamdeck controls…
You can get nutrients from the sauce. IMO tomato sauce is very tasty and can be pretty cheap as well. Probably the cheapest would be tomato paste and water as a base. Or canned tomatoes. Depending on how cheap you want to go you can add vegetables to your liking. Onions are always great but also carrots or peas.
Well, one could argue if just posting a link with a title is a ‘quality’ post. But the topic is still worth a discussion so I don’t see why it should be downvoted.
I think you should not downvote a post you have a negative opinion about. If the post is worth to discuss then why should I not upvote the post and then say that I disagree in the comments. If we all down vote those posts nobody will see it (apart of those who sort by controversial) and there will be no discussion.
If a job at McDonald’s doesn’t pay your bills and groceries then who do you think would even do this job?
People who are already wealthy and do it just for the fun of flipping burgers?!
It would be totally sufficient if those things are listed in search engines or maps. Not as ads for other searches but as actual results when you actually search for that stuff. If you like burgers it would be no problem for you to type “burger near me” into your favourite search engines once in a while if you feel like something new. Same for home repair etc.
Yeah I know that people do that. What I wanted to say I that nobody clicks on MY profile pictures.
Or my jokes and easter eggs that I hide in those pictures are not funny enough for them to text me about it :/
I used to edit my WhatsApp profile pictures to have small Easter eggs in the corners that only those people see who click on the picture. Turns out nobody clicks on my profile picture.
I can’t get it to work on Linux and on the website it is only stated under MacOs features…
I’m using arch on my desktop for >5 years. Never read those instructions. Sometimes my update looks like OPs. Just hit Y. All fine.
I don’t know much about law but I assume that you can also be liable for things you don’t own.
If I rent a car I don’t own it but I’m in full control of it so I’m fully responsible if I break any laws with this car.
I think one could argue in a similar way for Xitter accounts.
Would we still find it weird if we didn’t know that is our own voice that is being played? Like if somebody plays a recording of me from last week where I said something general that everybody could have said?
