Cool cool cool. I imagine this potentially means we're seeing the development of a 17 object solar system? Maybe with some of those being asteroid belts?
The attack is being investigated as a possible bias-motivated crime.
The levels of avoiding saying "hate-crime"
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Programs, most often hiring, promoting those values
The infighting is coming in way faster and pettier than I imagined. This is fun to watch
Ah man, they make great E-ink android tablets... Was just thinking of upgrading my Nova 3 to the new Note 4C. That's a shame.
First insect meat I ever ate was some kind of BBQ tarantula in Cambodia. It was amazing. I don't shy away from insect meat at all now. I've even been to a Michelin Star restaurant that has insect based dishes. It's a cultural aversion, I get it, but the right insects prepared the right ways are great
There's tons of plant based proteins already. Having already added more vegan meals to my diet I think this would just be another option for me and one more for novelty than anything else
I used to be like this but then started pre-deciding items that would be just plastered with stickers so I can just buy whatever cool stickers I want, knowing there's a place for them.
My water bottle and laptop for example are now covered in stickers
Thanks for the background! For those who don't want to click:
This claim is mostly false. The photograph was actually part of an artwork by Yoshio Itagaki in 2005, which in itself is a commentary satirizing the urban legend of a Japanese department store misinterpreting Christmas. The photograph has been used out of context and spread alongside the claim it aimed to critique.
Basically a Japanese artist creating satire I guess?
Just feels like we're at that point in history all over again
We storming the Bastille then?
Same boat! I've switched over two of my lesser used devices to Mint already (an old surface tablet and my work laptop), only hesitation is with my gaming machine. Everything has been set up just how I like it so I'm not eager to start from scratch there but once I'm confident and comfortable on my work laptop I'll make the switch there too
I imagine it's like the master going "My dog is a good boy, he'd never hurt anyone!" As the dog is whipping a toddler around by the ankles
I think the dog in this metaphor has snapped it's leash
If I'm not sharing, I just drop them back into the bucket/bag. If I'm sharing, I'll just eat them.
Recently though a bucket I was sharing had so many unpopped kernels I started worrying for my gut. Had me wondering how everyone else handles this.
So how does everyone handle unpopped kernels?
Any recommendations for something like "Amusing Ourselves to Death" but written after the internet became mainstream?
Something recently had me thinking about the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" that made me want to give it a re-read, and as relevant as the main ideas still are for today, I wondered if there is a more recent book that is just as well received on the topic of society's addiction to amusement.
I can't stop laughing but I also have no friends who read Stormlight to share this with 😭
Nowadays I find a lot of games feel like too much work and/or anxiety when I just want to relax for like, 30 minutes to an hour after a long day. On the other hand, the games specifically designed to help you unwind just feel boring imo.
In the past I've felt like Outer Wilds scratched this itch, cause the whole experience was engaging but generally relaxed. There was a mystery that kept me hooked and the exploration and movement was fun in and of itself. I also felt like Subnautica filled this role since it was very much at my own pace, with anxiety producing portions which could for the most part be avoided or minimized, and also there was a clear objective to fulfill, get off the planet.
So what games do you play when you just wanna relax?
Complete Linux noob so apologies if anything I say or ask about sounds dumb.
I want to start making the switch to Linux and I've got most things figured out I think. I plan on putting either Mint or Fedora on my old Surface Go gen 1 because it's not critical for my work and potentially losing some functionality there won't cause huge issues, but my main use of it right now is taking notes on Onenote that I can then view and edit from my other devices as well.
Looking into Onenote and alternatives on Linux, I keep running into comments about the lack of handwriting support or no straightforward answers about stylus support. Anything Lemmy recommends I try? Also, any advice on running Linux on the Surface Go in general is welcome. Found some resources already but doesn't seem like people do this often.
