You know we have a real problem in our society when these women haven’t been able to come forward with these allegations until the press have contacted them.
If they fear coming forward after being assaulted by someone who is hardly discreet about being a sexual predator, what must it be like for the victims of more outwardly respectable public figures?
I’ve recently started gaming on linux with surprisingly little problem, given that the last time I tried was about 15 years ago. I don’t even know what proton is, but I just installed steam and then my games… surprisingly on some slightly older games (tf2, HL2) I get a huge FPS boost in Linux compared to windows. Not sure why that would be.
Ah thanks, I don’t think I have enabled it. Will that allow me to try out windows-only games in Linux? That’s crazy… literally no more reasons to go back to Windows…
Director Woody Allen says Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales should not lose his job for forcibly kissing a player on the lips after the Women’s World Cup final, saying it was not like he murdered someone or burnt down a school....
I’ve not seen a lot of coverage of this in the English press but his mother also shut herself in a church and went on hunger strike to protest the mistreatment of the poor boy.
If the only people defending you in this type of case are your mother and Woody Allen then I think you can safely assume you’re in the wrong.
This isn’t true at all. IQ isn’t some magical catch-all measure of a person’s intellectual ability, but it’s not entirely total quackery either.
I suspect that academic success would be very strongly correlated with having a supportive home life, but IQ not so much. Maybe the gifted kids you refer to were the academically successful ones and not the high-IQ ones?
In many ways, Mastodon feels like rewinding the clock on social media back to the early days of Twitter and Facebook. On the consume side, that means that your home feed has no algorithm (this can be disorienting at first)....
I have the same problem as you with mastodon, I’m interested in topics not in people so the format just doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
I’ve had very limited success with following hashtags, it sounds like a neat idea, but I’ve not found enough hashtags that I’m interested in with enough activity to make it worthwhile.
The nature of it also makes it more superficial - it’s short comments and posts on a topic rather than more in depth discussion.
In the end, I think mastodon is a really neat replacement for twitter - but I never had a twitter account for a reason, and those reasons are still there with mastodon, for me at least.
Basically around the 2000s we had a WinXP computer and each time I wanted to use it, either my mom or my dad had to turn it on. However they had to strike the key to enter the BIOS. Everytime when booting the PC. Then they would exit the BIOS and so Windows XP would boot normally....
The correct solution (as with languages on websites) is to auto-detect but then make it super easy and obvious how to change if the auto detected version is not what the user wants.
Also if any web developers out there are reading - don’t use the user’s location to determine the language/region they want, and especially don’t force it. I have no idea why so many websites do this but those responsible deserve to permanently have small amounts of sand in all their socks.
Yeah, I’m saying they shouldn’t, but plenty of them do. They use geoip or location services to work out where you are and then use that to send you to the local site or the site in the language that they feel is appropriate for that location.
If you’re really lucky they then make it difficult (and sometimes practically impossible) to switch.
Besides the problem you’ve highlighted for countries with multiple languages, you also have immigrants, people on holiday, multilingual people, VPN users… And it’s not great for your SEO either.
Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as “Ethical Piracy” and I would like to hear your concepts of it....
I just commented something similar, asking for examples of when piracy is unethical, because I couldn’t think of any myself, but your example of leaking is really interesting.
I can see how pirating/leaking an unfinished work could be really harmful to the creator and I know that would feel horrible if it happened to something I’d created.
I’m not sure why there’s so much acceptance of (and even enthusiasm for) early leaked unfinished products.
We’re not entirely rational creatures so even though logically we may know it won’t be the finished product, it can still massively impact how something is perceived. First impressions can always make a big difference no matter how much you try to rationalise them away.
I don’t know what tears of the kingdom is, to be honest, so I can’t comment about that.
I get it, but I’ve not really managed to get into Mastodon myself. I’m really liking Lemmy so far and have found a lot of great content, but even though I signed up for a mastodon account a loooong time ago I can’t seem to get into it? Any tips for finding decent content?
Maybe it’s just the type of platform. I’ve never gotten into twitter either.
