The red nub on IBM/Lenovo laptops is far superior to a touchpad
I’ve said it somewhere earlier today, I’ll say it again here. I think Windows XP was bad, and that Vista was good.
But Windows in general is still absolute rubbish anyway.
Vista was great. It just needed double the ram which was standard back then.
There are still functions of Vista MIA in w11. It was far ahead of it’s time.

Complete protection? Certainly not, but melanin does provide some protection from UV radiation. Still important to wear sunscreen because if a melanated individual where to get skin cancer it usually has a higher mortality rate because they’re often caught late.
Epidemiological data strongly support the photoprotective role of melanin as there exists an inverse correlation between skin pigmentation and the incidence of sun-induced skin cancers (1) and subjects with White skin are approximately 70 times more likely to develop skin cancer than subjects with Black skin (67). The shielding effect of melanin, especially eumelanin, is achieved by its ability to serve as a physical barrier that scatters UVR, and as an absorbent filter that reduces the penetration of UV through the epidermis (68). The efficacy of melanin as a sunscreen was assumed to be about 1.5-2.0 sun protective factors (SPF);
Honestly good points overall, but I will die on the other egg hill
People should be educated on FOSS software & Fediverse and try to use it whenever possible.

Python sucks.
Not only is it extremely inefficient, it is also a pain in the ass to work with if you have to use APIs that heavily rely on dynamic type wrapping and don’t provide stubs. Static analysis via Pylance is not possible then and you’re basically poking around in the dark, increasing the difficulty enourmously to get to know such an API. Even worse if there isn’t even a halfway decent documentation.
I thought you were referring to Monty Python like op did and I thought: what the heck is he talking about?
People on Lemmy aren’t “normal” people and shouldn’t use their personal views as the norm.
but we’re on Lemmy 🤔
Android is the worst anti-consumer shit I’ve ever seen in software and should be illegal
Uhh have you looked at other software recently? Android is practically FOSS compared to some things
What did I miss? I would have put Apple, Nintendo, or Epic way above Android. Am I out of the loop? Or are we talking about Google as a whole?
There shouldn’t be borders.
I’d one up that and say there shouldn’t be countries. The concept makes no sense. US propaganda always tries to make China and Russia out to be the “enemy” meanwhile when its Trump doing bad things, the world also says its the US causing problems. All of the sudden, what one or two bad people do somehow means the whole country is at fault. If we took out all the bad people and chucked them out, we could all just be people. No nations, no nothing—just people.
Being vegan is a moral base line.
Counter argument, I need to eat and I can catch seafood myself without contributing towards capitalism. Isn’t a full diet but its a start. Can make it into a full meal with some rice.
How is that a counter argument?
I need to eat food. You can’t really just state the moral base line is not to eat
What about how the vegetables feel? Im completely serious, they are a living growing being. They do not want to die but somehow theres a line that is drawn that says plants lives dont matter. You’re a hypocrite. You get into a fuss about the life of an animal yet think taking the life of a plant is okay. Life eats life. Its honestly the way of life.
Now our industry farming practices in America are terrible, we can do better. But it aint shit to the cow farms china has in Australia.
Oh I am sure you are completely honest! As the good plants rights activist that you clearly are, you of course already know that it takes many more plants to raise animals for slaughter than eating them directly.
And on a more serious note: plants don’t feel shit. They don’t have a central nervous system to even process a concept like pain.
A kid i went to school with couldnt feel pain due to nerve damage. He loved playing knuckles but no one could beat him. So you belive if he didn’t feel pain it was okay to use brass knuckle against him.
Determining what matters on what you think they feel. Wow you piece of shit.
Ah no more “”“arguments”“” so you are going for the ad hominem huh? Good luck with that.
BTW. I am eating a big juicy plant right now.
I was never arguing. I called you a hypocrite and stated why.
But you pointing out you’re devouring the pour helpless plants just shows you’re actually a bigger ass then me. But instead you use stupid reasons to be an ass and all the other asses follow suit.
Anytime someone mentions veganism, there has to be a discussion on plants. Interesting how you suddenly care about vegetables.
Vegetables are not sentient, and even if they were, it requires fewer plants if you eat them directly instead of feeding them to an animal first for years, and then killing the animal.
I’m actually not interested in talking to you, but perhaps someone will read this and realize how absurd it is to compare chopping vegetables to slicing the throat of an animal.
I care about all life equally. Which mean i barely care about any life but i at least acknowledge all life.
It’s not that i disagree, but can you elaborate on that?
Inflicting pain and suffering is bad, especially if done for selfish reasons, like pleasure (and tbh if someone were to disagree with that, I’d dont want to talk to them). Exploiting animals is exactly that, taste pleasure to be exact.
classic first worlder with their elevated standard of living:
- Animal based protein is often cheaper and more easily accessible
- herbivores as a middle step helps digest frankly indigestible plants
I am not disagreeing with you there is a fine line between acceptable and gluttonous, but acting holier than though, just cause you insistently chew grass and destroy your gut biome doesn’t help the animals
Pineapple on pizza is an abomination and an affront to hoomanity.
People without empathy shouldn’t have the right to lead people (politics, work, …).
There should be an upper limit to personal wealth.
Russia should be denuclearised and split up.
Not shower every day depends very much on the situation.
In summer there are certain coworkers who most fuckingly definitely should shower every day unless I’m allowed more wfh.
I think “shower before you start stinking” is a decent rule to live by
Along with “it’s sometimes hard to detect your own stink”
And we’re back to every day
- No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
- Static typing sucks.
Rather than banning that just tax the shit out of people who have multiple homes
The Welsh did that (or just some Welsh councils?), pretty sure it was very popular among the people actually living in the area.
I’d even be willing to let someone have their lake/hunting cabin/whatever and not tax too much but people are greedy and we’re far past that point. Once you start accumulating 5-10 homes, taking them off the market for other buyers, the taxes should increase exponentially.
Can we share the first hill?
- Laptops should be thick and durable with good keyboards (like old Thinkpads)
- MacOS isn’t as bad as people here say, its still a Unix-based OS and that alone makes it superior to Windows
- Arch Linux is severely overrated
- Debian Linux is extremely underrated
- Alpine Linux is great on low end laptops
- Fedora Linux is the best distro for newcomers
- Rust belongs in the Linux kernel
- GPL > MIT/BSD
- Tiling > stacked
- AI sucks
Generally agree, AI sucks and yet I find myself having to use it anyway. Its good at doing bullshit tasks that management set that are a complete waste of my time. Life would be better if I didn’t have to do these tasks but I can delegate it to a stupid AI instead and management seem to be happy with its meaningless output.
