I still disagree. Majority of topical subreddits and people are nowhere near as obnoxious. Although, granted, Reddit is a bad place to set bars on quality of discussion.

Agree, but there’s a big chunk of atheist that like jerking each other off, vocally telling themselves how superior and smart they are. That’s the point being made

Spotify has patents on underestimating your emotional state based on the music you listen to. One can guess they sell such data. A hard pass for me.

Self-hosting Jellifyn/Navidrome has been really fun (but I’m aware it is not something everybody wants/can do).

Same here, and I’ve enjoyed it more than my Debian experience.

I’m curious: Is it a bad idea to have iptables with a default DENY rule? I use a deafult DENY in ufw, and it uses iptables under the hood.

who dismissed it as US propaganda.

Do you have a source on that?

Even more, I think it’s basically the only way. Lichess app got removed from vanilla F-Droid because of that.

From Linux, I’ve screen-shared my desktop in the web application for some years without troubles. Not even need to install the app.

Being a number nerd, I can see the appeal for something like this (extremely bad quality of data aside), or at least I do frequently visit OpenBenchmarkin.org (similar concept than UserBenchmark, but open source).

I also know 1 person who is obsseded with constantly buying/selling parts for their PC, and for whatever reason still uses UB after I told them how shit it is.

My guess is that this will also resonate with some Intel fanboys.

All of this is more of an exception to the rule, but they need just a few bunch of people subscribing to generate more profit than before.

I think it depends. In my case, I write faster in LaTeX as the formatting is done a lot quicker. Just need to find one template I’ve already used and is aproppiate for the ocassion.

Although being able to take a screenshot and paste it is a huge bonus and time saver in LibreOffice when taking notes in real time.

Becase it’s false and the math severely wrong.

You can use Flatseat to config the permissions (including files) that Flatpaks have. It has a nice GUI

Your comment doesn’t make sense, since home tools are not precise enough and that is not the manufacter fault. I suggest you read about Metrology

Hey, my SO and I really loved Severance and watch it in my Jellyfin server, which I set up so they can connect from anywhere. I’ll add season 2 the moment it launches. I would be happy to give you acess to it if you want to, just let me know.

I’m very aware of how toxic gaming communities can be, but I don’t see how that refutes my point that Pepe is used with non-hate purposes in the gaming community. Furthermore, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if 90% of the people aren’t aware of Pepe’s relationship with far right, neo-nazis and 4-chan. I still wouldn’t call them any of these words for liking and sharing the frog with the expressive face.

On the other hand, not wanting to deal with people that post/use Pepe in any sort of way is respectable, albeit seems like a giant social bubble to me.

TW: slurs ahead.

This whole thing remins me of “marica” and “maricón”, Spanish words that are used in a few contexts and meanings, the main one bieng “faggot”. Recently, tho, they have increased their popularity in the LGBTQ+ community as a self-describing word, in a “fuck you, homophobics” tone. My point is that dismissing these groups as being too far right over using “maricón” would be devoid of context and interest in others. Note as well I’m not claiming all use of “maricón” is respectable and friendly.

Like the swastika, is not the only use it has. In the gaming/Twitch community, it’s definitely not massively used as a hate symbol.

What’s the need of being rude and aggressive to express your thoughs?

This actitude is, in part, why I think social media sucks so bad, call it Lemmy, Twitter, Reddit or Facebook.

The reference adds stuff like the author, journal or year, so it can be a showcase for the relevance, importance, how new is it, etc. I still find it useful in cases like the presentation not being followed by a paper, or you add visual aids that are not present in the paper yet are not your own work.

Disagree on 7 and 8

For 7: References and sources are a must, unless everything is your own work. They should not be put at the end of the slides because the public does not have access to your file, so they cannot go back and forth to properly read the source like they can in a paper. The way I do this is simply putting “Source: blablablabla” in a smaller font, so the reader can easily recognize it as a source and ignore it if they want to.

For 8: This greatly improves the public’s ability to ask you questions, as they can just say you “Please go back to slide #X”, instead of having to explain the content of the slide.

Keep in mind these are used in my scientific academic background, perhaps outside of it they are not as important.

A report usually contains somewhat useless information, requires more background in the topic and does not allow for easy to ask questions to the author. Slides, written reports, papers, speech, etc. all serve different purporses.
