Ah Finland, the country where I want to be.

YeetPics , to showerthoughts in Snowflake is such a weird insult as it seems to imply it's best to just be like everyone else
@YeetPics@mander.xyz avatar

I think you’re not understanding the intended slam.

‘Snowflakes’ are special and unique. (Notably, their crystalline pattern)

Every snowflake is special and unique. (Every single one has unique environmental factors that form their unique shape)

If every… ‘thing’ is special and unique, no ‘thing’ is special OR unique.

It’s basically saying “you value your perceived characteristics higher than they actually are valued in the grand scope”

Defaced , to programmer_humor in Principal Skinner on Immutable Distros

I tried bazzite, unfortunately I had some odd quirks that I can only attribute to an immutable OS. Things like window and UI scaling wasn’t consistent. My mouse cursor would blow up to twice the size when hovering over one window then shrink back down on another. I can only guess this is because the base filesystem is only readable and it can’t write any values for scaling on certain themes/window decorations. While not a huge deal, it comes off as sloppy and inconsistent. It’s not a great user experience and first impressions are everything. It’s easy to make a first impression, it’s damn near impossible to make a second one, and my first impression of an immutable OS has been soured. I installed mint 22 and it’s been a completely different experience, from window decorations, to time shift backups, system updates, Bluetooth, cinnamon theming, it just works out of the box with little to no setup.

@Thespiralsong @asklemmy look up "normal distribution" for details but.
The normal distribution of any opinion will naturally show that the largest number are BETWEEN extremes. As in, in the middle. So for the majority of people and the majority of issues people will find that half of their concerns are addressed by one party and the other half by the other party.
The most extreme views are just yelled the loudest.

JohnDClay ,

But echo chambers and polarization can increase the standard deviation, bringing down the opinions in the middle. Now may topics might even be a bimodal distribution rather than a normal distribution.

maccentric , to mildlyinfuriating in McDonald's Experience by non McDonald's patron.

The McDonalds in my area is pretty amazing (Silverthorne CO). There’s always like 10 employees and it just hums in there. I only ever order from the app; I get a large fries no salt and a large unsweetened iced tea for $2. The fries are always fresh (no salt is key) and they are ready within a minute of me walking in the door.

dmtalon OP ,

Appreciate the comment! That said, I’m not looking to find ways to better my McDonald’s experience here :)

I just need to build that time since I was at McDonald’s back up. I wanted to vent after seeing the story about price likely causing their 1/4 results. I think there’s more to it.

maccentric ,

It has to cost them more than $2 in materials and time for my order; I’m slowly putting them out of business ;p

dmtalon OP ,

Haha

Xenny ,

As a fry jockey. Fuck you. I make all fries fresh to order but all you assholes online just tell people to order no salt fries to be “fresh” it might work at McDonald’s but lemme tell you where I work a no salt fry is made at my convenience and set aside because making a no salt fry means WIPING DOWN EVERYTHING COVERED IN SALT It is not a “hack” eveywhere.

Every other goddamn online order is “no salt” but also extra cheese, double bacon, extra pickle. It slows things down so much I’m actually trying to get no salts for online orders banned.

maccentric ,

Hey friend, sorry about that, but there’s just way too much on them otherwise. I end up wiping them down with a napkin and giving up after a handful if they have the typical amount of salt on them—I don’t know how people do it

Xenny ,

If you just want less salt I forgive you. If you are trying a fast food hack to get fresh fries when you would have gotten fresh fries anyway then that’s what makes my blood boil

pr06lefs , to asklemmy in Have you noticed an increase in political fighting?

I talk to people who are against corruption, against racism, believe the medical industry is broken, monopolies are bad, etc. Seems we agree on a lot of basic principles yet they are still voting trump tho. WTF?

LarkinDePark , (edited )

The other choice is another genocidal Zionist. I don’t get the confusion.

EDIT: The correct choice is not to take part in the charade and not be complicit in America’s crimes against humanity.

ToucheGoodSir ,

Netanyahu wants Trump to be the next president for some reason though?

LarkinDePark ,

Probably feels like he’s squeezed all he can out of the other party. Time for some fresh meat.

pr06lefs ,

Don’t worry bro, you can write in Putin

LarkinDePark ,

Good. A less mass murdering president would be a better option for America.

arefx ,

Trump supports Israel you buffoon.

Yes I know. So does Holocaust Harris.

Have you heard of the horseshoe theory?

At the end of the day far-left and far-right are not so different.

@j4k3@lemmy.world avatar

One is trying to steal fundamental human rights, pull off a revolution of medievalism, has the worst performing sitting president by every metric as its populist mascot, is hellbent on a christojihad, causes a recession by failing to do its primary job of passing a budget, performs wonderfully as a Russian military proxy unit that completely sabotages Ukraine, fights for criminal gerrymandering because they are hated by any educated sane person or any halfwit that can disconnect from tainted billionaire corporate media garbage and think for themselves; there is nothing remotely close to these two, unless you are or are massively diluted by psyops.

Hell, if anyone gives a damn about women and unalienable human rights, they should punch any Republican in the face at every opportunity.

TheBigBrother , (edited )

At the end of the day both parties work for the same owners, and the only thing they want it’s power and money, politicians are just making a living from the budget while the real owners rule…

You are psyops.

TheBigBrother , (edited )

What you mean by psyops?

JohnDClay ,

I usually think of tankies as the horseshoe branch of liberalism. They have a lot more in common.

davel ,
@davel@lemmy.ml avatar

You’re not even using horseshoe theory correctly, not that it especially matters because it’s a horseshit theory.

Horseshoe theory is a liberal theory that equivalates socialism and fascism. But socialism is outside the Overton window of contemporary Western politics, so the theory doesn’t even apply.

In any case, liberalism and fascism have more in common with each other than with socialism. Socialism is about abolishing private ownership of the means of production, while liberalism and fascism are about the state protecting private ownership through its monopoly on violence.

CaptainKickass ,

Sounds like bullshit to me

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory

The horseshoe theory does not enjoy wide support within academic circles; peer-reviewed research by political scientists on the subject is scarce, and existing studies and comprehensive reviews have often contradicted its central premises, or found only limited support for the theory under certain conditions.

ReedReads , to piracy in How to hardlink qBittorrent music after retagging with MusicBrainz Picard?

You can rename the files using qBit. Just use its “rename files” feature. You can also rename folders this way.

As far as tagging in musicbrainz, I don’t think you will be able to do that because it will mean that you will have changed the contents of the files themselves. I could be wrong on that and someone else might be able to tell you how to do it though.

LazerDickMcCheese OP ,

Yeah, that’s what I thought but I wanted to try. Hate not giving back when I get something. I’m trying to retroactively seed my entire music library if possible. Looks like I’d have to make my own torrents

We have an established tradition to represent sexual characteristics with fruit. 🍆, 🍑, 🍈 🍈.

To be fair, I whenever I go to market and see the eggplants, I feel inadequate. Also in the last decade many of the more classical substitutes have emerged in the emoji library. 🌶️, 🥒, 🥚🥚, 🌮, 🍪, 🎂, 🎃🎃

exanime , to linux in How bad is Ubuntu?

Not recommending Ubuntu because of those 2 things, both of which can be turned off easily, seems a bit extreme. Like not recommending a Toyota because some of the inside trim attrack dust

As an intro into Linux, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone even if I myself moved on from it
