Not still, but again. Moved back when Covid hit and my company started to allow working from home. Honestly, I prefer it. Lived in a tiny city apartment, now I live in a large house in a village, with a garden and lots of nature around. The house would be too large and expensive for my mom to live there alone, so it makes sense for both of us.
America has always rejected fanaticism, especially since WWII. We are supposed to be E pluribus unum -- out of many, ONE. Now, the right wants America to be E unum pluribus -- out of ONE, many.
Much of the world is moving in that direction. The many crises of recent years and an uncertain future outlook for humanity are fertile ground for extremists promising easy solutions and "going back to the good old days".
Moritz Körner, Member of the European Parliament, disclosed the decision on Twitter. Swedish publisher SVG said, “The question was removed at the last moment from Thursday’s ambassadorial meeting in Brussels”.
Either way they can just give it a new name and change some details to propose it again. Like how they made it "voluntary" this time (but you can only send text if you don't agree).
Source? In Germany at least that's not the case, it's mainly the conservatives who push for it. In the original vote, only the greens clearly opposed it. Later on, SPD (center-left) and FDP (liberal) changed course to also oppose it. Couldn't find results for other countries though, so I'm genuinely curious.
The main reasons I've seen from vegans for not eating meat seem to be all about the morality of eating a sentient animal, the practices of the modern meat industry, and the environmental impact of it. And don't have anything to do with the taste of meat....
Vegetarian here. It's not something I'd personally buy or use in meals, as I don't really have the desire to eat meat. That said, if it happened to be in a dish I really want to try at a restaurant, sure I'd eat it.
I completely stopped caring about 2 years ago, I realized I was never going to do anything with my good look and that I will never get into a relationship in my life, so I just figured out "what's the point then, I'm already invisible to women?" And I don't care about my health tbh......
Was pretty much the other way round for me, realized around age 25 or so that I'd spend the later part of my life feeling like shit with constant back problems if I didn't get out more. So these days I make a point of getting out on my bike or going on longer walks at least a couple times a week. Not for looks or women, but for myself.
I heard Windows 11 has been updated to take screenshots of your computer. Is it theoretically possible for them to delete content from your PC or external hard drives if they can determine that you have pirated content on them? Can they theoretically report you for it? I know it's unlikely but is it still possible? I'm thinking...
Anything is theoretically possible on a closed source operating system. But it's not likely. First of all, this "feature" is only compatible with "Copilot+" PCs, so your system probably won't even get it. It also would run foul of privacy laws in in many places. Especially if they did that while claiming the screenshots only stay local. That'd be a huge lawsuit waiting to happen.
Does anyone know, or can anyone guess, the business case for predictive text? On phone apps, it is often incredibly difficult to turn off. Why is that, do you think? (The examples I have recent experience with are Facebook and Outlook mobile apps.)...
I wanna make some games but idk where to start. Thinking of gbstudio but the hardware limits would make making a card game hard, any other easy tools? Is there a gbstudio eqivament for 16-32 bit systems?
I wouldn't start with retro hardware, those systems have a lot of quirks and limitations that will make development much harder than it needs to be for your first projects. Instead I'd suggest using a modern toolkit like Gamemaker if you want to avoid programming, or an engine like Godot. Lots of good tutorials available for either.

Lots of Russia and China apologists there. The interactions of their userbase with other communities often seemed pretty toxic and rude as well, mainly resorting to shitposting with very few attempts at genuine discussions. At least those were my impressions when they were still federated with my instance. I don't miss them.
Their strict moderation has odd blind spots though. I just had a look at their front page to see what it's like these days. They have a news article up since 15 hours that claims France has sent troops to Ukraine, which is just straight up fake news. Apparently allowed to stay up as long as it fits the narrative though.
Yes, they do, although the top comment at this point talks about how it's "literally a declaration of war" and the second to top claims that WW3 has started. You have to dig 3 comment chains down until anyone even questions the article. In any case, I don't see how that's relevant to my point about moderation.
What's the issue with just ignoring them? I really don't think making open-source software intentionally obscure because annoying people exist is a great idea. Ultimately we want more people to use FOSS instead of corporate software.
Because religion provides comfort, community and a meaning to people's existence that goes beyond "we were born of chance on an insignificant rock somewhere in the universe".
Are you still living with your parents/family?
I'm 34 and yeah I'm still living with my mother, share the room with my uncle, her brother (he lives with us)....
Why are Republicans/Conservatives embracing fanaticalism these days?

Vegans of Lemmy, would you eat lab-grown meat?

When you stopped caring about staying in good shape?
I completely stopped caring about 2 years ago, I realized I was never going to do anything with my good look and that I will never get into a relationship in my life, so I just figured out "what's the point then, I'm already invisible to women?" And I don't care about my health tbh......

Is complaining to open source project maintainers getting normalized ? ( lemmy.ml )
And how can this be improved ? Should "normies" be pushed into RTFM or ELI5 ?
