Eggs are also refrigerated in Denmark, that’s why we used to be such a great ally to the US.

As a 41 year old man, that’s abnormal behaviour. Wtf is wrong with him? Does he have friends, colleagues, family and a spouse in there and do they want to know his taste in porn?

Mah gawd

Argued for years that Diaphragma would be an excellent name. Or Columna.

I love the app, but the summary was kind of shit 😁

I mean, probably not with a second cousin, unless you do it for hundreds of years. Greater risk of birth defects if you have children over 30.

If you do, be sure to post I in !ancientcoins@lemmy.world 🙂

I don’t really think mastodon needs those 5% to produce content to entertain and advertise a userbase of 95% lurkers. For me it’s definitely a bonus that they’re not there - I don’t need influencer-shit in my feed.

If that kind of content creator and passive user goes to Bluesky that’s fine. If they went to mastodon we’d just see calls for an algorithm, which would be directly against what I want in the platform.

Problem with algorithms showing popular content is that once you have them, you’ll have people trying to use them to make money. And by extension people trying to manipulate you for profit. Doesn’t have to be the platform itself doing it for it to be harmful.

People turn fascist when they’re desperate and angry, same as always. So when people experience economic hardship they look for somone to blame, often immigrants. So we call them racists, and I guess that’s true, but it comes from something else; economic inequality.

In Europe we do the same thing, in the French elections the rural population voted overwhelmingly for the fascists - here in brown.

In the German elections, the poorer former East-German provinces also supported the fascist AfD, here shown in the darker colours.

Even in Denmark, where I live, the more right-wing and extremist parties are popular in the southern, western, and northern parst of the country - the poorer rural areas, who’s seen their jobs disappear, their shops close, and their income stall even as the country as a whole gets richer.

So the challenge of liberal democracy is clear; show the population outside the cities that they, too, can get their piece of the pie. If we cannot solve that, then we’ll see more countries turn fascist in the next decade.

Tillykke med dit smukke barn!

I just wonder if it’s true. It’s certainly true for many indo-european languages, but I wonder if there’s been a typological study with a representative sample of languages done for it. I’m not sure I buy it being a language univeral.

Is it really universal though? I don’t recall that from my linguistics masters at all, in fact I think I recall pretty much the opposite…

The argument is also sometimes as dumb as it looks

I don’t think it’s clear that they are not trying to minimize civilian casualties, it’s hard to imagine a more targeted attack than the pager attack.

I don’t know what the numbers are like for the Lebanon part of the war, obviously, but in almost all modern conflicts we see that between 25 and 80% of casualties are civilians. I imagine we’re on the high end here as hezbollah like to fight and hide amongst civilians and use them as shields.

I struggle to see how you can combat such an organization without heavy civilian casualties, no matter how you go about it. I’m not saying the Israelis are not making mistakes or even being disproportionate at times, but I just can’t see how you’re going to fight hezbollah without heavy collateral damage.

How would you fight hezbollah and not hit any civilians?

Two of my sisters are doing that, and they’re lovely kids and will be surrounded by people who love them and will help them grow. So I think that’s absolutely fine.

Well, she’s 12 and likes to play roblox and do funny voice edits on her videos. As I am sure you can guess, it’s stuff like one-click voice modulation which is the big selling point of CapCut for her. So I am guessing ease of use and the ability to at least create and save audio editing presets and do texts and so on is paramount.

I agree that this is not really a need that foss tries to fill which is ok. We tried kdenlive but it seems a little advanced for her needs and wants. I tried Vidcutter and it seems a little too simple (feature-wise, the usability was nice).

We just took a look at ShotCut which seems alright, but I think I am more into it than she is. I hope I can convince her to take a look at it. Thanks!

I add stuff to FAQs when I am fucking tired of answering the same old dumb questions
