Yeah, context is very important, and also ability to see through propaganda and brainwashing.

Hehe. :) Well its interesting to think about language. And how words are connected with certain emotions. We make noises with our mouths or write letters with our fingers, and that can create massive reactions in other people.

Not originally, but some people started using a perfectly normal word as a slur.

It happens a lot. The word bitch was also a completely normal word for a female dog.

Probably many examples if anyone cares enough to find them.

People seem to care more about synthetic benchmarks than using a browser that gives them much less tracking and ads. Remember when chrome was popular because its so fast? I never noticed a difference between that and Firefox in ordinary web pages, except Googles, since they are intentionally making it slow for Firefox.

And with all that going on, people still picked chrome. :)

I mean… You have tiny animals like spiders or snakes being very efficient predators. Their brains are microscopic. Im actually amazed by animals like crows, how smart they are and the culture they have, with just small brains like that.

I liked the idea of a federated platform run by people and not big tech.

There is a bigger picture here. Food in America is using ingredients that is not allowed in the EU because its seen as toxic. That is what the focus should stay on i think.

The stock market is going up despite all this. I think investors think that profits will continue to go up while jobs are being cut. Which means these corps must now do more with less people. And the market thinks thats going to lead to more profits still.

I guess they think the future will be much more automated and need people less. And they could be right.

No, but if empathy went up 50% and greed went down 50%, there would.

This is not about intelligence at all. School tells you that intelligence is important because it makes you a better worker for the corporations.

But if you think about a good person in life, their intelligence is not going to be top of the list of their best qualities.

People are so focused on intelligence that they often completely forget about other qualities a human being can have.

I would recommend endevour OS which is based on arch, so you have the latest drivers and kernel always. Ubuntu is always old and may not work properly. Try that one and things will likely just work out of the box.

I dont think its difficult. Nobody has a gun to my head forcing me to do it.

Difficult things in life are things like being permanently sick, disabled, being poor, being ugly, being bullied, being with a toxic partner, having a toxic boss etc.

But not eating unhealthy food, thats not difficult. Unless you are poor, like someone said above. Then its difficult because you cant choose something else.

Ah yes, didnt think about that. I dont blame any poor people for doing what they need to survive. I would steal food and do what is required if I needed to.

I also wish they would, but ive realized a lot of people have no self control or discipline. I guess I do because of some challanges during my life. But for most people, its difficult to even stop eating unhealthy food, and thats not even difficult. :)

Plenty of stupid people in the fediverse so I dont think we will win any prices for that, guys. And plenty of people who think they are smarter than average, and zero people who think they are dumber than average. The usual stuff.

Sure, but we have been running the same Linux command line tools now for the 30 years ive been on Linux. None of them have had any noticable bugs and none of them have been replaced, until maybe now recently with some rust versions that are still not default.

They are incredibly actually. We dont have that in software engineering anymore. We add features and bloat to all modern software until it needs to be replaced.

No no, account was wiped over three years ago. :)

Why can i still browse reddit on mobile Firefox with no popup… Is this only in America or something.

Gives me a headache to look at. Not kidding.

The usual playbook.
