  • I read a story that once the US air force tried designing a pilot seat based on the average of the measurements of all their pilots and ended with something that was uncomfortable to all of them.

  • The US Democratic party is also a neoliberal right-wing party, just a bit more moderate.

  • trump is an Antichrist

  • The driving school I went to would fail people that used the "handbrake start" on a hill.

    And also fail people that tried to drive backwards by looking back instead of using the mirrors.

  • Brazil did much worse slavery, but the racism is "softer", there was a moment when 80% of the population was enslaved black/mixed people (indigenous were mostly just genocided away).
    Because most people are mixed, the racism here today is just on looks instead of ancestry, and AFAIK less violent.

  • Abortion is sometimes the less monstrous alternative in a horrible situation, and it should never be seen as less than that.
    Women should have enough social safety nets that abortion would never even cross their minds.
    It is mostly Capitalism with its focus on productivity and selling youth and beauty that pressures women into it, women are "freeing" themselves into Capitalistic slavery.

  • LLMs are just statistical models, all they know is how likely a text fragment is to appear near another text fragment.

  • If the wings are limbs, shouldn't insects be considered to have 8-10?

  • Democrats are also a neoliberal right-wing party (if a little more moderate), why would they be opposition?

  • It has it's own problems, but many government structures in Brazil were designed to prevent a return to dictatorship after democracy was "restored".

  • How is Christianity dominant if an Antichrist is president?

  • Personally I prefer it starting on Sunday, but also here with Portuguese being the main language it only makes sense to start on Sunday, Monday to Friday are called second-fair, third-fair, fourth-fair, fifth-fair, and sixth-fair. Fair as in either market or festival.

  • Jesus explicitly said He was not making any rules obsolete.
    What He did was tell and show that OT laws are supposed to be read from the perspective that they are meant to help and protect the weak and "lesser".
    And the OT is a history of God's love for humanity as much as the NT.

  • Hello from Mastodon.

    All of these "talk" ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.

  • I will never not complain about bugs that obviously someone put in the effort to do the wrong thing when the correct would have been easier.

  • I usually only use the terminal when I don't find an alternative, but powershell usually feels a bit saner than bash.

    I've also tried nushell, also nice, but in a few situations powershell despite usually being verbose was more "elegant".

  • I'm glad powershell is cross-platform nowadays. It's a bit saner.

    Better would be to leave the 1970s and never interact with a terminal again...
