but our kings are richer, isn't that progress?
  • I mean there are some other shitty stuff feudal peasants had to do or had it harder than us, but it is kinda sad that there still are things peasants had that we don't (like shorter working hours and longer breaks). You'd think with the technological advancements we've had since the "death" of feudalism we would have more to distinguish ourselves from feudal peasants. I feel like the only major differences (at least in America) is the mass consumerism and that the feudal lords are capitalists rather than nobility.

  • So Allan Turring was gay? But saved pretty much the whole world by breaking the enigma machine? So after everything is said and done he goes back home and they nail him with an indecency ticket whate?
  • Okay and? History is filled with oversimplifying big achievements. People love to pick one person and claim they are the reason why it happened, but it doesn't mean the person wasn't an important part to the achievement. Yes, Turing had help. But Turing deserves the credit he gets, especially where he didn't get it during his lifetime. Meanwhile we should also prop up those that helped WITHOUT tearing Turing down to do it. You don't have to try to make Turing's achievements seem less important or spectacular in order to highlight he wasn't the only person involved and that others also deserve attention.

  • The Google Lock-in Dilemma
  • True, yeah. My needs for a phone I feel seem to be fairly old fashioned for the modern phone industry. Unfortunately the Xcover is the only series of phone that meets (most of) my needs in a phone that I have found.

  • The Google Lock-in Dilemma
  • Its Samsung's "rugged" phone. They certainly don't advertise it at all. Its a shame because it is a really nice phone (poor camera though but I dont care about that). Probably cause it doesnt fit into the mainstream market of expensive (cheaper than their mainline stuff), disposable (this has a replaceable battery which prolongs its longitivity), and minimalist (still has its aux port and more than just a power and volume buttons).

    Ps. They are coming out with a new one, the Xcover 7. It might have already come out actually.

  • I feel like I might have just been fairly unlucky. Maybe I got hardware it doesnt like, or maybe I fucked something up at some point (fairly plausible considering I'm still fairly nooby to Linux). Not gonna put the blame on Nobara, but I do feel its updates are too frequent for my taste (which only exasterbated the problem).

  • The Google Lock-in Dilemma
  • My issue is no one has developed a custom OS for my phone. Suprising considering it seems like the kind of phone FOSS users would love. A modern smart phone with an aux cord and replaceable battery still. Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro for anyone interested.

  • I do have Nvidia. I wish I didn't tho

  • Clearly high as a kite
  • I found it to be unstable. I ran into updates causing major problems way too often. The last update got stuck and I was just so fed up I dumped the OS. Ubuntu has the LTS version that has way less often of updates, and that appealed to me. But I don't like gnome so I went with Kubuntu cause its on KDE

  • Clearly high as a kite
  • I moved off of Nobara to Kubuntu LTS. Tried out Mint and Ubuntu before hand and gotta say, I am loving Kubuntu. I am hoping it is the last time I have to distro hop

  • Least extreme biophysics phd
  • The potential value to the Americans of Japanese-provided data, encompassing human research subjects, delivery system theories, and successful field trials, was immense. However, historian Sheldon H. Harris concluded that the Japanese data failed to meet American standards, suggesting instead that the findings from the unit were of minor importance at best. Harris characterized the research results from the Japanese camp as disappointing, concurring with the assessment of Murray Sanders, who characterized the experiments as "crude" and "ineffective."

    To back up your point that the research gained by unit 731 was useless.

  • Damn those triangles!
  • Something I have learned while playing old games is old graphics is nothing compared to just how games were designed back in the day.

  • That drama happened in part BECAUSE .world has a problem not moderating enough against transphobia.

  • I have an account on dbzero as well.

  • Fixing Federation with Hexbear
  • Personally, I'm happy not being federated with them.

  • Yes, because your phrasing shows your lack of care around bigotry towards people who use neopronouns. Its misgendering plain and simple, no different than if you misgendered a transwoman or transman. It should carry that same weight. And if it doesn't then you are not a trans ally because you are not supporting trans rights, just the ones that fit within your view of normalcy. Purposely misgendering anyone for any reason is insulting, disrespectful, and harmful.

  • They keep multiplying
  • Listen, I ain't huge on neo-pronouns but I use them anyways because I respect and care about people enough to use their preferred pronouns because no matter your reasons for not liking them, it doesn't out weight the harm and disrespect you are doing to the other person. It is misgendering plain and simple, there is no real difference between misgendering someone who uses neopronouns and misgendering someone who doesn't.

  • They keep multiplying
  • You prove the point by saying "just the neopronoun thing"

  • American looking to move to Italy

    Hi, me and my family are looking to move to Italy as we have ancestry that could probably get us citizenship, and we are trying to get out of America due to probably obvious reasons. I need help answering these questions:

      1. Are there any colleges that have education degrees that are taught in english? I am currently pursuing a degree in Secondary Education to become a high school history teacher at my local college and need to find a college (ideally in Italy) where I could transfer to.
      1. Are there any entry level jobs that are good for english speakers?
      1. What are the most trans friendly cities in Italy?
      1. Best ways to learn Italian? Especially anyone willing to help me learn.
      1. Any advice in general anyone can provide for someone trying to move to Italy.
