Which generation did we really taught critical thinking to? In general, those “thinkers” or people with nice research skills (e.g. reading comprehension and other traits) were always a minority within each generation. And I agree there will be less now with AI. But we have no polls or measurement, so the title goes a little clickbaity, in resonance to the generalized discomfort towards a new technology that schools haven’t accomodated yet (e.g. all kind of solutions are seen in the wild)

I reckon it was the same with arithmetislcs and calculators in the past. We were able to deal with that! (so that whatever proportion of people that graduates knowing arithmetics with each generation didn’t shrink “too much”.)

If we are considering possible scenarios, let’s be optimistic too.

AI (discounting other problems like their ecological footprint) may not be that bad on our educational systems once we adjust…

“Martin Fierro” by Jose Hernandez. Me and all my classmates thought it would be the most boring book. We were surprised. And it was full of teachings for soon-to-be adults.

A sailor once told me the anchor tattoo represented their will to end up in the bottom of the sea if he ever drowned or their ship sinked. This was because, as he put it, the other option would be having their family members see his body in terrible shape.

This person tended to tell exagerated stories, but still… I was young and believed it ever since. Can any other people confirm they heard the same? I would like to know :)

On average every 5 years. The battery life is always the issue. I will get a fairphone next time…

I don’t like those projects either. Scuttlebut and cjdns looked more “profesional” to my ignorant eyes. I bring these up because I’d like to hear your comments. I will check 10fingers now…

I believe “secret” is a better word, it conveys the intention of hiding them as executed by the corporate owners with the government’s compliance

I love Python because it’s actually the second best language to do anything. For concurrency, Go is better. Also, you are terribly naive to judge a language only by its syntax.

I hope this doesn’t ruin peoples lifes. And if it affects anyone in Canada, I hope their revisit those laws on environmental pollution. There’s a reason why all the mining companies are in that country. Ecocide in third world countries is driven by that “blind spot” in their laws and I’m certain the majority of canadians don’t have the least idea of their complicity.

She’s giving you the most difficult life lesson. I am almost 40 and to this day I dread to ‘actively hear’ many words my dad has to say about me or my decisions. It’s a difficult lesson because they are our caregivers and as such they did many good deeds. But at some point we need to put our own mental health above anyone else’s rant, rage, or toxicity. We don’t owe them shit. After that leap, you may be able to come back to the issue that they were addressing with their comments and reflect upon the issue itself on your own and/ or with the help of others (friends, therapist, chatgpt?? I wouldn’t recommend the latter but it may be a good starting point and better than nothing…)

Oh, isn’t the question a wordplay? btrfs…

We are all victims of Jehova Witnesses, Evangelists, and other religions that take preaching/ contagion as a core value/ sacred activity for their members…

This can mean anything, it’s possible they wanted just 1 platform so that their expertise is focused. And android being a little more open may have been seen (biased) as a disadvantage (i.e. enemies are more prone to find a vulnerability). We can argue with it. It’s like the counterpart of people thinking that open source is per default more safe because of being open source… It’s a correlation that can’t prove anything…

The rest of the world may call it friendsgiving and celebrate it anyway ;)

And I wouldn’t say the use here is just a swearword. Saying Iran is under a fascist regime should unite us to identify a problem, the suffering of their population. Do not allow semantics to be one another reason why we are fighting among us, the people with radical decency.

Since when are we getting so heated debates about fascism? Trump has ICE, and no one discussed if he wasn’t facist before that. Learn to see the cues. Elimination of competing political rivals is just one aspect.

Plus, if we were to look for a definition, might as well take one that accounts for understanding that facist regimes are, beyond all, a process. See for example the text by George Orwell: ‘What is Fascism?’ (1944)

By ‘Fascism’ they mean, roughly speaking, something cruel, unscrupulous, arrogant, obscurantist, anti-liberal and anti-working-class. Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathizers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come.

But Fascism is also a political and economic system. Why, then, cannot we have a clear and generally accepted definition of it? Alas! we shall not get one — not yet, anyway. To say why would take too long, but basically it is because it is impossible to define Fascism satisfactorily without making admissions which neither the Fascists themselves, nor the Conservatives, nor Socialists of any colour, are willing to make. All one can do for the moment is to use the word with a certain amount of circumspection and not, as is usually done, degrade it to the level of a swearword.

Are you saying that any other instances are tolerant with Nazis/ Facism? Do any of these other instances host Nazi/ Facist communities too? If you were able to elaborate, I’m certain many people would be interested into knowing which communities or instances to de-federate (e.g. like many admins already did to hexbear).

PS. I can’t find it now, but there was a website like https://lemmyverse.net/ that showed the top instances that were defederated from the rest, and some “4chan-like” scene was around… if anyone remember which website I am talking about and could share, it would be great too. Thanks

One should pick them based on their rules. Other than that, I like piefed. But there aren’t many active instances tho.

Thanks. Sure it is. But I will call this a feature now ;)

So, which one of you is a Libra? Xddd

For some reason, my version of syncthing-fork is old and source is not even on f-droid anymore. Was there any other before catfriend1? Perhaps I downloaded APK from GitHub… Can’t recall.
