According to Wikipedia, the Neandertal (the valley) was named after 17th century priest and composer Joachim Neander. Where does the "new man" come in?

I am (unronically) convinced that this sentence did more to secure Biden's presidency than the entire rest of the debate.

Alright, that explains.

An elite 1.5 million.

The development cost was around $85 million, and I think EA kicked in $40 million for marketing and distribution.

Apparently, $40 million doesn't buy you much in today's market, because I've literally never heard of this game until now.

From many years of experience on the interwebs, I can recommend this password:

NUL,\t.;TAB\n\x07^C

It's very secure and works most of the time. I use it for everything.

I came to Lemmy after Reddit's crackdown on third-party clients. Looking back, I'm pretty happy with how Lemmy is going and how it feels right now. The number of users decreased after the initial spike, sure, but it also stabilized at a respectable level. There are things I'm still missing, but the way it is definitely works for me.

This one makes Jesus cry.

Great news. Although it's bizarre that it took an entire continent passing a new law to get to this point.

The polling numbers would be more meaningful if there were credible polls.

If I was Fetterman, it'd now be my personal pet peeve to subvert this dress code whenever I could by showing up in the most ridiculous-but-formally-correct outfits.

In his remarks, (...) he rails against the imagined economic detriments of abortion, pushing his caucus’ outlandish claim that by depleting a hypothetical workforce, abortion has defunded social security: (...)

If abortion truly defunded social security, shouldn't small-government Republicans support it?

From what I see, lots of people in Germany understand that some countries will be hit hard by climate change. The key issue is that they don't care, and instead of stopping climate change their solution to this is to shut the borders and let no one in. These people are so resistant to changing their way of life, they'd happily trade people's lives for it.

"Block hexbear" is to browsing Lemmy as "use an ad blocker" is to browsing the internet.

Based on this other issue by the same user, I think there's no cause for concern that the dev will actually blacklist PM/SL: https://github.com/7c/fakefilter/issues/69

Anyone working with GitHub probably knows that it'd be lunacy to just act upon every issue/PR that people come up with.

Where them "states' rights" advocates at?

For a few years, I had hope that Microsoft would become a respectable, user-oriented, even FOSS-friendly company, but they finally seem to have settled on AI enshitification as their main business model.

Plus he shot a dog on that show where he played law enforcement.

A+ vice-presidential material right there.

Soulspath Travelborne is going to be one hell of a game.

Except on news websites that only give you the choice between "subscribe for X€" and "read for free (accept all)". So annoying. Still no idea why that's legal.

This is the actual "mildly infuriating" part of this post for me. Criticizing YouTube for pushing subscriptions on its users is 100% justified, but posting rage-baity screenshots of low-quality websites without any sources or context is probably not the way to do that.

Eh, I love FOSS as much as the next guy l, but I still gotta say that LibreOffice (as nice as it is) is still ages behind MS Office, and it's not even close.

The main competitor for Inkscape would be Adobe Illustrator.

No, no. You see, she's saying you should feel free to talk about it, so long as your conclusion matches her opinion.

Not gonna lie: When I started reading your comment, I was fairly sure this was gonna be some kind of Simpsons joke.

In his complaint, Lau argued it is discriminatory to keep artwork, like that of the Picasso painting displayed exclusively in the Ladies Lounge, away from he and other men who pay to enter the museum. (...) He’s asked for an apology from the museum and for men to either be allowed into the lounge or permitted to pay a discounted ticket price for the museum.

Kaechele and lawyers for the MONA rebutted by saying the exclusion of men is the point of the Ladies Lounge exhibit. “The men are experiencing Ladies Lounge, their experience of rejection is the artwork,” Kaechele told the Guardian. “OK, they experience the artwork differently than women, but men are certainly experiencing the artwork as it’s intended.”

This is going to be much trickier than it seems based only on the headline. Both anti-discrimination laws and the freedom of art are very fundamental rights, and a decision that weighs these against each other will not be easy to reach (at least I would think so). Curious to see how this lands, although I expect that the museum will come out on top, because the disadvantage that this special exhibit poses to the man (the museum would even argue there is none) is probably not big or permanent enough to justify a restriction on the freedom of art as big as this would entail (and I guess the museum probably discussed this with their lawyer beforehand).

Well-reasoned comment with adequate sources

Sir, this is the internet.

For individuals and families who actually live in them, a house is a perfectly valid investment with positive side-effects for the overall economy. The issue is with investment firms trading around real estate like it's candy, which takes housing out of regular use and inflated prices for everyone who actually needs it.

The party of States' Rights™ going outside of their states' jurisdiction to enforce state-level laws. All this work, and for what? To make a handful of people miserable, who found help at this particular hospital? For the legal precedent to make more people miserable?

An additional part of the joke is that showing this through the area of a square is a geometric proof that this series converges the way it does.

In your case, it doesn't sound like someone being rude, more like a poorly designed system. In general, I think it's courteous to warn people about it. Like when I receive an email that would require a lengthy response, I could write "Easier to do this on the phone. Can I call you later?" and that's always been fine.

I think the similarity comes from the literal meaning of the two but doesn't extend beyond that. "Memento Mori" carries a distinctly humble meaning related to the concept of "vanitas", the idea that death is inevitable, even for the rich and powerful, and that earthly pleasures are vain and meaningless. That's really in the opposite direction of YOLO.

Not sure if this is obscure or not: I have F12 bound to cycle through the low- to high-contrast versions of my color scheme so I can keep working when the sun hits my shitty laptop screen.

For me that's The website is down and Missing Missy.

Their future mistakes notwithstanding, I can still appreciate the good work they're doing now.
