I'm all for getting into old school tech, I even like to browse neocities.org on occasion just for the hit of nostalgia for the old web rings. I never got into newsgroups though, and I'm wondering what reasons you might use that instead of something like Lemmy, Mastodon etc?
Apart from the piracy side, I know all about that already lol
"Someone could get the most votes, and not win!" McCarthy said at the time.. "So if you come in 3rd, you win. What? 'I got a lot of second votes, I got a lot of 3rd vote — what does that mean?'"
I don't think it's the "Black areas" that are getting confused about how it works. Or perhaps he's just pretending to not understand? 🤔🤔
My guess to the biggest reason not to do this is safety - if somebody is being electrocuted, you want to be able to pull the cord out of the wall as quickly as possible to maximise their chance of survival.
Wood is mostly cellulose and lignin, which holds no nutritional value to us humans. Another comment said that termites have certain enzymes which digest it, but it's actually the bacteria in their guts which break down the woody fibres so they can turn it into glucose. So, theoretically, maybe we could isolate those bacteria and somehow incorporate them into our guts too? I mean it probably wouldn't work, but you never know until you try right?
That was a good read with some helpful tips, but they didn't have a conclusion at the end so they never answered their own question!
What it seems to me that you're suggesting is essentially crowd sourcing a mix of investigative journalism and data analysis, which is not a skill I think that just anybody can pick up and do properly. To be fair I've never tried my hand at investigative journalism, but I have done a few units of data analysis and trust me there's a hundred different ways to do it wrong. Even among the experts, there's a lot of disagreements to what the best approaches are. I had a teacher even say that if you give a set of data to 10 data analysts, you'll get back 12 different ways of interpreting it.
That is all to say that I'm not sure how much you'd be solving by providing another forum for people to post their takes on public policy issues, but then again if you manage to attract the right crowd of critical thinkers, who also happen to be open minded enough not to insert their own agendas into matters, perhaps people might hold each other accountable?
BTW have you checked that something similar doesn't already exist? Insert obligatory xkcd comic:
This is the kind of alarmist media that cripples people with anxiety and leads to learned helplessness. We want to be giving people hope for change, not taking it away.
I would like to see a breakdown of useage by region. For example I found stats that said India's share of linux users rose from 9% in May to 15% in July. That's quite a sharp increase in only 2 months! With a population of over 1 billion people, I'm betting this rise would have a significant increase in global stats, so I wonder what is behind it..

I looked for a lazy way to get myself a Tux sticker and found this pack of stickers for $1

Bargain!
What am I missing in the "end Kernel panic" one?
Unfortunately the Republicans agree with them on this point
Maybe to avoid confusion, they should just display units in GB instead of GiB? Or just display both
I wish I could just up and buy a farm, that sounds like the life to me.
I would totally read that book
Do the numbers themselves have any specific origin or meaning?
Happy birthday!
This is fucking amazing
Exactly! Although I find dishwashing detergent dries out your skin a lot more, so I wouldn't try using that lol. Shampoo has a pH closer to your skin than a bar of soap, so is really quite well suited for it.
Sadly I fear you're right. It is nice while it lasts though, it takes me back to the early days of reddit
You motherfucker
It's got a pretty good vibe, the community feels really friendly and supportive. I hope it stays like this as it grows
I just buy cheap $2 bottles of shampoo and use it for my whole body. Cheaper than shower gel, and I've been doing it for over 5 years with no problems. It's all soap, right?
I like the idea of calling it ex-twitter. I came up with the idea when I was having a shower.. Hang on.. there's a community for that! brb
Ublock origin works too
Right? More than half the stories are just made up, and designed just to capture people's outrage so they comment more. It feels so toxic to me
It's winter down where I live, and I'm getting a bit sick of the cold. I can't wait until spring when the sun is up when I get out of bed and I'm not shivering my arse off while getting dressed
tbf they said "older", not "old"
Rubbish is what they are! The texture of chickpeas is just awful
Not bad, went to the gym this morning, actually did some work. I might do some of this course now.. Playing board games with friends this evening. I guess my life is pretty good, so not sure why I feel grumpy so often lol
try making a conscious effort to get out of the house more and do more social stuff. There's websites like meetup where you can meet folks with similar interests. Making real connections with other people and/or finding satisfaction in pursuing your interests will fill some of the hole which your fapping is trying to cover over. Also you won't have as much time to yourself so it won't be possible!
Thanks, it was fun. I hope your day went well too!
Cool, I just installed Thunderbird and am giving it a go.
I'm sorry? I don't understand why you'd think I think that? This was like hundreds of thousands of years ago, so whatever their skin colour there would have been plenty of time for melanin levels to change since then
I was under the impression that electromagnetic radiation is both a wave and a particle, and it's known as the "wave particle duality".
Do you have a metal plate in your head or something? I don't get how that's possible
Oh that's interesting, exposing kids to it is a great idea because then they won't have the whole barrier of the 'fear of the unknown' when considering installing it on their own PC. Thanks for sharing!
Maybe, but studies have shown that Africans don't have any Neanderthal DNA.
I've looked into doing that myself before, but it seemed like a lot of work and research to get it set up
damn, she hot
