    1. Human rights as a consensual starting pooint of what is good.
    2. Rational skepticism, ranking knowledge/belief based on the proximity to an international scientific consensus.
    3. Expressing my opinions and questioning others opinions in a polite and nuanced way that allows civilized discussion. It increases the chance of common progress rather than strengthening tribal bubbles.
  • I don't think anyone slightly left will ever be happy with a Pope's social policies because they are inevitably decades or centuries late to adjust to society. Francis started to open on welcoming homosexuals in the church, but he still said it's a sin because any sex outside of mariage is a sin, and gay mariage is not allowed by the church.
    Maybe Leo will make some new timid move like "maybe it's not a sin after all, gotta think about it" but nothing revolutionary will happen.
    Progressists as defined on Lemmy will never be elected pope.

  • It's funny to imagine that they implemented the 51% rule because someone may have tried to scam the bank by trying to get a replacement for each half of the same bill.

  • h and e are commonly silent in French.

  • I thought it was the Parisians you hated rather than the city.

  • I can confirm, we say Paris.

  • It is a real river, but it got suffocated by the Japanese concret folie. Here's a 1847 view of the river, ukiyo-e by Hiroshige.

  • How many here are working for these tech bros or putting money on their companies?

  • I don't think it will happen. Imgur used to be well supported by reddit because it was created for redditors. But since then they have done their own things, making the host function less convenient and they are not a reliable long term image storage anymore.

  • I think it doesn't display because the commenter used the "album" url: https://imgur.com/a/XRjTyIm.
    The direct mp4 link to the underlying video works better.

    or WebM?

  • What does Okular do that Firefox doesn't? I've used it on some distros because it was the default but I don't know the advantage compared to using my existing browser.

  • For PDF "your browser" should be the default recommendation. Firefox allows to add text and images now. Gimp can also be used to edit PDF.

  • And that's how you get your own recording of a classical piece from centuries ago get taken down because it sounds like another copyrighted video. No fucking shit, we're playing from the same sheet music.

  • As long as journalism quality is respected that's not an issue.

  • A snaake. Oooh it's a snaaaake. Badger badger badger

  • If the marketing has the power to go over the journalism to change the titles, isn't it a symptom that things are going downward for this media?

  • No other choice than sticking with the few reputable media that still don't do that. Gotta support them so they don't fall into that too.
