I had an absolutely normie non-tech brother who came to me asking me to install him Linux.
It was Debian. He wanted something rock stable.
He never looked back since.
Linux is not just a technomaniac's dream or a product of our privacy/configurability/something-else-maximalism. While many of us come there looking for that, we end up with much more - a truly snappy system, without bloat, without all distractions, automatic updates, and corporate shit pushed on.
As that same brother said to me: "It's such peace and quiet. You turn on your PC - and you're all set to do whatever you have to do"
Also, Linux with reasonable modern DEs doesn't ever require a normie to go terminal. Like, at all. It's just that Lemmy users are more techy, and they'd need such advanced features in Windows too.
If you ask me, one of the primary reasons normies don't regularly use Linux is because they don't know what Linux even is. For them Windows is computer. Then there are some who know of Linux, but think "it's more of a server thing". Then there are some who played around with it in VM, but saw it more as a toy. And then there are brave souls who actually did a switch.
For all I know, most of the latter never looked back.
Nah, the reason we're chill is because the sole reason for you burning/not baking enough/having random issues is that you don't control a lot of variables.
Do you even check moisture content of your flour? Do you know its gluten content, amount of ash and mineral impurities, titratable acidity? Do you have farinograms, alveograms, falling number for doughs made with it? Do you check room, water, flour, dough temperature? Do you put your dough to leaven at precise temperature and humidity? Do you put just enough steam into the baking chamber, and do you correct the temperature before loading the oven? Do you know the way heat moves through the oven, and do you know which corrections need to be made for your exact one?
We do. And we always make it right. So, what's to worry about? It's very simple and routine at that point. You do A, you get bread. Simple as that!
China is doing that by lifting restrictions it previously had on the number of kids per family.
In Russia there never was a limit, and a driver for change should be different. Putin asking Russians to make more kids won't magically improve demographics. Russia is fighting battle for demographics for about 15 years now, and it yielded very little result.
Right now people in the country are strongly uncertain about their future, economic changes leave more and more young people out of money to just live, let alone raise kids (and no, not many here will agree to have children regardless of any obstacles), and young males are actively dying on the war.
Unless a radical change is made to the economy, to all those things listed above, Russia will not succeed in drastically improving reproduction rates.
I agree with you, but your comment might be worded in a way that triggers a knee-jerk reaction to downvote.
The key point is, cars are not sustainable. Stop pretending that if you switch to electric, they suddenly are. Car industry is extremely polluting (not only with exhaust, but with production, tyres, asphalt for extra roads etc.), cars take immense resources to produce and service, and they are NOT a necessity.
The only rational way of transportation is through public transport. For super rare destinations where public transportation doesn't go, there can be a carsharing service.
Ditch personal cars. Embrace the new reality, and go green for real.
I remember a guy arguing that flat Earth is constantly accelerated upwards on God's will, and never reaches speed of light due to Einstein relativism. Was quite fun to listen to this unusual fusion
Yes, essentially. But that's still Firefox, and it makes sense to refer to it as such when talking about global things like Manifest V2 support, adblocking, and other basic functional blocks from eagle view.
And then we can go into details and talk about differences between Firefox forks, Librewolf being just one of the most popular. This is important to talk about, just not in this particular context.
It's like uniting and arguing in favor of Linux regardless of the distros - distro wars are still valid, but not something we should immediately load onto a Windows user. Heck, even if person goes for a goddamn Ubuntu, it will be an improvement. Same logic.
As a food microbiologist, I feel like I could excite some child by saying "it GROWS!", but I'll have hard time explaining the joy and happiness of "IT grows!", so to speak :D
I'll have to get into a lot of details on why this particular strain is so revolutionary, what was it worth to extract one, and how happy I am that it all works just as planned (which it often doesn't, since we're working on the barely explored territory).
Those strains are about to change the way we make goddamn bread, and yet communicating the importance of it is surprisingly hard, because it operates characteristics people don't pay close attention to, which they absolutely goddamn should.
I kinda want to go way beyond what gmod offers, adding properties to every material and rendering players able to do whatever they want with it. There shouldn't be a scripted "balloon". There should be a property of latex to expand without breaking up to a certain degree, and there should be gas pressure physics to calculate how much does this latex expand. And then if that's, say, helium, calculate the upward momentum of it based on air pressure, and the weight of piece of latex, and also calculate if there are any leakages. That sort of thing.
A sandbox, but with realistic in-world physics and ability to do anything.
Wanna burner? Boom, take this tin can, make some holes, put in alcohol and burn. Wanna learn how telephone works? Construct it yourself! Game should simulate real-world physics and just store properties of various objects and materials, allowing you to completely unbound from game mechanics and developer's intention. Maybe you'd literally be able to conduct scientific experiments in game, and this would be a great in silico model. Maybe you'd be able to understand how things around you work. Maybe you'd be able to reverse engineer other player's creations. Possibilities are endless, you're having an entire world in your pocket.
...but yeah, we'd barely have enough developers and computer resources for that.
Ew.
Kissinger deserves the hatred he gets, but let's not vandalize Wikipedia, pretty please? It's an encyclopedia, not a political tribune.
