These broke my brain for longer than I'd like to admit.

This, and also because it is an unlit road I think?. You don't want to get offroad in the soft ground here during the night. The side lines help mark where the road ends, since they will "light up" at night by the cars lights

I think foss at large has a UI/UX problem. The problem lies in that many people think UI/UX is that last 5%. You cannot, however, add this late in a process when dealing with complex programs or heck, an operating system.

Yeah, I thought about discarding the whole explanation beneath it. But then I remembered that the first time I saw the sea lion comic I was kind of confused about what sealioning was and had similair questions.

If interpreted wrong, the sealion comic seems like a fight against questions and evidence. I interpreted it like that the first time I saw that comic. Now I know better though 😜.

100% agree. I hope Cosmic DE can remedy some of those learning curves, but that is a tough ask from a desktop environment .

I mean heck, it took me several months to fully get accustomed to OS X Tiger when I switched from Win XP back in the day.

Answers that say "paste this in your terminal" should not be used by people that don't know what they are doing. Even if 99% of those solutions work, we should not learn non-it people to make a habit of pasting random shit in their terminal.

So actually there are almost no answers for Linux for non IT people.

Sealioning is not about the content of the discussion. It is about a discussionstyle.

Don't get the two mixed. If you're trolling: good job! Have some meaningless internetpoints from me!

If you genuinly don't know what the problem with sealioning is, I suggest you read up on it some more:

"Rhetorically, sealioning fuses persistent questioning—often about basic information, information easily found elsewhere, or unrelated or tangential points—with a loudly-insisted-upon commitment to reasonable debate. It disguises itself as a sincere attempt to learn and communicate. Sealioning thus works both to exhaust a target's patience, attention, and communicative effort, and to portray the target as unreasonable. While the questions of the "sea lion" may seem innocent, they're intended maliciously and have harmful consequences. — Amy Johnson, Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society (May 2019)"

I can see why only seeing that comic makes you come to questions like you asked ("what if it were black people?") But these questions are questions about content rather then the form of sealioning. Of course it is not wrong to ask for sources in a debate. Or to ask questions. It is however, harmful to impose bad-faith, or even ignore boundaries that are given by the other party (hence the sealion being in bed with its debater in the comic, which is entirely inappropriate of the sealion.)

Or another definition:

*"Internet trolls sometimes engage in what is called 'sealioning'. They demand that you keep arguing with them for as long they want you to, even long after you realize that further discussion is pointless. If you announce that you want to stop, they accuse you of being closed-minded or opposed to reason. The practice is obnoxious. Reason should not be silenced, but it needs to take a vacation sometimes. — Walter Sinnot-Armstront, Think Again: How to Reason and Argue (June 2018)." *

You forgot /s right?

Right?

Easy, you just loudly proclaim: "I COME TO REASON!"

I don't know about you, but my Outlook on survival while being an Explorer would definitely rise. I'd say I would Excell at the task at hand if I'd be pushed to the Edge like that, mark my Word!

I hear ya.

I use Superagent extension in Firefox. I have it set to automatically declines all cookies. Works great about 70% of the time, which saves you 70% of cookie popups.

Also works on mobile, where popups are even worse to navigate.

Not necessarily, it's still taste. I like superhero movies, but hated all iron man stuff. Can absolutely not relate to a cocky billionaire main role. Not enough character arc on a per movie basis to like the movies.

Interestingly, I think people like you and me use Lemmy because one of the same underlying reasons as social media people:

Either:

1. Endless amounts of stuff that speaks to your interest. (With us it's stuff like technology. On Social media, people are "interested" in what others are up to.
2. Getting likes/dislikes. Even though likes aren't important on Lemmy, I notice in my usage that I do subconsciously get the same dopamine hits jf a post gets liked a lot, just like Social Media does. It's less aggressive on Lemmy because you don't get alerts for it, but it does factor in on engagement.
3. Engaging in conversations/discussions with other people.
4. Sharing things you find interesting yourself

The content might be different, but the underlying principles are really close. Social Media is actually really close to how forums work at it's core.

But I know this is an unpopular opinion. And no, I wouldn't call Lemmy Social Media per se. But the line is more blurry than I'd like to admit if I look at my time spent with Lemmy.

No need indeed. I guess many people most of the time enjoy the anticipation more than the actual product they consume. Anticipation can be a fun "hobby" within a hobby for people.

I think the silent majority feels like this.

"Eh, not my cup of tea, but you do you"

Spied on in the woods without an internet connection?

I pressed X to doubt so hard that my phone screen cracked.

I dunno, if I'd built a shelter, 1 or 2 windows would be enough I think.

Lemmy! The place where everything is made up, and the points don't matter!

One of the songs that is used in many(not all) of my playlists is Mutemath - You Are Mine.

The song has vibes, can be played as background noise, but also as a listening song. It is melancholic, but not so sad that it can't be played on a sunny day(although it is more suited for rainy days and autumn weather for sure)

I could be friends with the rainforest guy. Seems like a chill dude, just wants to shit in peace.
