Well you're just asking an economic question, are the costs worth the benefits?

I'd argue that linux will never be a good or user friendly operating system without case insensitive filenames.

That isn't an opinion but could be verified through scientific study of how confused people act. You don't even need computers, just ask someone to get the "something SomeTHing" from a labeled box in a cupboard. Presumably science would show that case insensitive naming of things is always less confusing when humans actually use the system.

The truth is that programmers enjoy writing code far more than reading code. And especially to open source developers "usability" is a dirty word. It's not about the value of a thing, it's about the beauty of how it is done.

It seems obvious that some of the women would be better hunters than some of the men. But that only suggests that too much specialization was bad, not that there wasn't any specialization at all. So headline seems wrong.

Also persistent hunting seems like the most inefficient type of hunting. You exhaust yourself and the prey and loose calories, the time it takes, traveling far over unknown terrain and then having to carry it all the way back and beware other predators. Is the argument that women are best at "shitty hunting"?

I imagine you'd track an animal, get close, throw spear, miss, keep tracking the animal. And if they haven't invented the spear yet, can they even be called human?

Yeah long term endurance hunting sounds like "bad hunting". You use up more calories, the prey expends more calories, you waste a whole day walking around in dangerous terrain and then you have to carry back the meat all the way back.

So even if their claims of greater female stamina bears out this would presumably only show that women can hunt better in certain worst case disciplines.

How does this make sense or am I missing something?

You're basically arguing that a system shouldn't support user friendly things because that would add significant burden to the programmer.

The quintessential linux philosophy. Well done! I mean, what is language? Why have named code variables? This is just a random array of bytes!

You should look up regime change and color revolution. The US openly speaks about subverting and supplanting democratic governments in other countries if they don't align with their foreign policy goals. And they have done it many times.

What Russia is doing is despicable but "they learned it from watching US".

Yeah well lol, it's sort of like a "roast me" sub for liberals.

Your mistake was posting in the dunk tank. That is literally a "vent" sub where they vent their frustrations against stupid US empire propaganda takes.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

If you go there expecting reasonable treatment for your opinions, you misunderstood the assignment. That is a shitpost sub where only one side is right.

How do I know this? Because I went there once and got dunked on too! But that does not represent the entirety of hexbear. I think.

I also haven't seen this but it seems to make fun of the authoritarian excesses in Mao's China (struggle session).

The Three Body Problem show features this, leading a character to go mad and wanting to destroy humanity.

The funny thing is that this post is sort of a struggle session, an attempt to build consensus against socialists.

There is no socialism on social media

The actual superhero/blockbuster/action/thriller propaganda is that problems are always caused by a few bad apples. But there is no spoiling the bunch. Once the newspaper and honorable elder governmentals get wind of it all is return to the good old status quo.

That is the real problem - that we learned to not question the rules of the system that lead to negative outcomes. That rules and conditions that make negative outcomes all but inevitable.

Of course debating the financing of institutions and bylaws that impact socioeconomic policies would make for an awfully dull superhero movie!

I'd like something like a ring or wristwatch that unlocks my PC when I'm close enough to the keyboard, and locks it again when I go away. For that tracking would be pretty good.

Fundamentally the problem only has temporary solutions unless you have some kind of system that makes using bots expensive.

One solution might be to use something like FIDO2 usb security tokens. Assuming those tokens cost like 5€. Instead of using an email you can create an account that is anonymous (assuming the tokens are sold anonymously) and requires a small cost investment. If you get banned you need to buy a new fido2 token.

PS: Fido tokens still cost too much but also you can make your own with a raspberry pico 2 and just overwrite and make a new key. So this is no solution either without some trust network.

Yeah the "unintended fortune" is right. Made me rethink what I thought of the NYT and look up where my sentiment came from. But do I really have to thank the NYT now for aiding in Biden's replacement? :D

Well that might be overstating it. But their constant attacks on Biden while staying silent on Trump is them not fighting fascism. Pretty standard for neoliberals. Maybe I shouldn't single them out since I hate all the billionaire owned newspapers. THEY are the reason for creating the fertile ground that Trump could use with their decades and decades of shit reporting and disinformation and bias. They are the reason we can't and won't do anything against climate change.

It's so funny because he looks so sincere and precious and all the women look so annoyed but polite haha

The Petty Feud Between the NYT and the White House.

They also blindly published unverified stories and exaggerations about the october 7 hamas atrocities.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_New_York_Times_controversies

That's funny because NYT is pro trump disinformation source as well.

Maybe the "age of the free internet" has passed and people just expect bad faith and react completely radicalized today.

So if every users would spin up their own instance or "email server" like "me@matcha_addict.com", could that actually work? Or would that break the activity pub protocol with too many instances?

And they name is tragedeih
