  • As are many other sans serif typefaces.

  • It's acceptable in the following contexts:

    • In a comic
    • In content designed for children

    That's pretty much it.

  • I'd argue it's the opposite. To most of the people who attacked the encampment, Palestinians are just some faceless brown Arab people half a world away, whereas the protesters are the SJW/Marxist/Anti-Americans who are ruining America.

    The former, they are more or less indifferent to; the latter, they really hate.

  • Hoo boy, I can't wait to see how the State Department try to spin this one.

    Edit: who am I kidding? It will be "Israel has admitted this was a mistake and we believe they remain committed to minimizing civilian casualties".

    Edit2: Ah, no. Turns out they instead played the "We are waiting for the results of Israel's investigation into its own actions" card. Was a 50/50 chance.

  • I use FLAC for long-term storage, 256kbps Ogg when transcoding for mobile devices.

    Opus is the best lossy codec in terms of efficiency, but many devices/apps don't properly support it.

  • They make a good point. Mad Max is a relatively niche IP, compared to your usual Blockbuster action movies. Furiosa is a little overlong, and violent. All-in-all, offers a limited appeal unless you're already a fan of Fury Road.

  • Most Catholics tend to lean much more towards an allegorical interpretation of the Bible when compared to, say, Evangelical Protestants. They also tend to quote scripture a lot less.

  • Saw the new movie today. It's not as full of CGI as the trailer makes it look, but, granted, it's more noticeable than it was in Fury Road. There are still some great practical stunts in it, though, it was still an enjoyable experience. 75% as good as FR, for me at least.

  • In the video, the CEO specifically claims that the device contains a proprietary AI that can do all sorts of things, when in fact it appears to be ChatGPT with a bunch of hard-coded scripts slapped on top. If that's indeed the case, then it would be an obvious scam and most likely fraud.

  • I've personally had issues with Fedora's version updates - once with Fedora and another with Nobara (which is Fedora based). In both cases, dependency conflicts broke the update and they were a considerable pain to fix. It was enough for me to switch to a rolling release distro and never look back.

  • I'm seeing exactly the same thing. Certain companies re-listing the same position for months on end, despite hundreds of people applying.

    According to this article I read recently, some companies are either doing it to give the illusion that they're thriving and planning to take on more staff, or just to keep a pool of potential applicants on the back burner just in case.

    It sucks. I've been looking to make a career change for over a year, and have only had two interviews despite sending out literally hundreds of applications.

  • It depends how you're using the term 'genocide'.

    While the CCP might not necessarily be intentionally mass-killing ethnic minorities in the Xinjiang region, there is very strong evidence that they are doing their utmost to stamp out Uyghur culture and forcibly assimilate them. In the process, people are being incarcerated, tortured, and raped, amongst other things.

    It could be argued that this is a crime under international law, where the definition of genocide includes

    intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".

    Or you could argue it is ethnic cleansing instead. Either way, it's a lot more serious than just overzealous "counter-terrorism" measures.

  • That reminds me of this real exchange in the Missouri state legislature regarding the "Don't Say Gay" bill that banned any mention of "sexual orientation or gender identity" in schools.

  • You're fine as long as you don't decide to jump in and offer a contrary opinion.

  • I find that lemmy has less of an echo chamber, but the average political stance is a lot more left-ish than reddit.

    This is true once you've blocked Lemmygrad and Hexbear, which are as much echo chambers as r/The_Donald ever was.

  • I still wouldn't call it "precise" in the slightest.

    Even assuming that this ratio remains constant after the remaining 10,000 unidentified bodies are accounted for, men of fighting age only account for 40% of those being killed and not all of those will be actual Hamas fighters.

  • That's true if you're only talking about what was once called 'natural philosophy', but there are still many areas where philosophy and physics don't really overlap - ethics, epistemology, aesthetics, language, existentialism, etc.

  • Each to their own.

    Gnome with GTK4 + adw-gtk3 looks far cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing than Plasma + Breeze, IMO.

  • Except Debian is neither interesting nor innovative.
