That’s not a matter of being dumb, just that they never had a reason to question the difference. The proper way to answer that if you think there might be confusion is to recommend arch and note that they might just care about the DE, in which case there are simpler options. Otherwise you’re just being an ass.

Another thing that I hadn’t really thought about before reading another comment in this thread is that the arch wiki install guide (and other pages) are written with the assumption that you want to understand what you’re doing. And I think for many people that’s just not the case. Which is fair enough, not everyone enjoys tinkering with software. Just like I’m currently paying someone to build my new pc for me because I really don’t enjoy doing that. But there have been a few places within the arch install process where I had to research some background info to know what to optimally do for my use case instead of taking a guess and hoping it works out. And that’s quite a barrier, I see people struggle with similar things all the time at work. If any research is required beyond what your step by step guide is telling them, many people will give up.

There is. Since the cake is in the shape of a 1, unless you want the name to be sideways when you look at it in the correct orientation, you have to write it vertically.

They poll between 11 and 18% in bavaria from what I found. They’re doing best in the east, but unfortunately the entire country has a significant part of the population voting for them.

That’s on windows, I don’t have teams on my arch install (does it even exist for linux?) but it works with KDE too (at least with other programs).

Kinda sucks that mac OS doesn’t even allow that as an option. Windows started defaulting to grouped icons at some point (probably copying mac) and I’ve always disliked it, but at least you could always disable it (save for some small period at the start of windows 11 that I thankfully never had to use).

Though overall it seems pretty popular, it’s just cases like these where it can get really annoying I suppose.

If that’s program defined behaviour then yes that’s definitely a Teams problem. Stuff like this is why I hate grouped icons though, I just don’t have the issue because I have seperate task bar slots for both windows.

Maybe there’s some advantage even because for the ones I’ve used a lot i know at a glance which part of steam they’re in, which wouldn’t be as easy if the only difference was the text. And each part of steam is usually internally consistent, at least mostly.

If only this was true, but for some reason midnight is 12 am. And noon is 12 pm (I’m aware that the reason is that 12:00:00.00001 is in the second half of the day. I just think it should be called 0 pm).

I have literally not seen a bad community note on twitter. Which isn’t to say they don’t exist, clearly you just see different posts from me. Though ime overall they seem to work better than the sorry excuse for moderation twitter had before, and it’s pretty much the only change that piece of shit made that I consider positive. Well that and likes not being public.

Overall I’ve been routinely surprised that dw seems to be doing far more neutral reporting and investigative journalism regarding israel than the supposedly independent ÖR, where most of what I’ve seen feels rather biased.

Maybe it really is some internal strife, or maybe DW just employs better journalists sticking to their ethics, or a mix of things.

I have very positive experience with that thing actually. It fixed many a wifi issue for me (interestingly, while also saying it couldn’t find the issue. It just fixed it. Probably ran something as part of its diagnostics that happened to also fix the problem)

Stare at it. Ignoring cats will make them like you, bevause to cats, not being looked at is a sign of trust.

Yea pretty much. I have no idea if going inside just to throw stuff away is considered ok (always felt a bit weird) but for the most part it’s not too bad to find a place to throw stuff away.

Which is entirely seperate from having a grasp on how much money it is you’re borrowing and how hard it will be to pay back

They don’t even have that, they just have seperate bins for cans and bottles and people use them, and the only public places to throw away trash are in convenience stores. Which tbf exist like every 400m.

There are exceptions but generally people just keep the city clean because they want to (and social pressure).

Bottle/can deposit system can do a lot to make bins less full though. Japan just doesn’t seem to need it.

Yes but also there are some diseases where I’d take death by shredder over slowly wasting away

I feel like this still slightly misses the problem. I couldn’t give less of a shit whether they do or don’t make money from my data, I care that they are tracking so many things for that purpose that I can be identified and many lifestyle habits are visible, which is a problem when the data ends up with someone who wants to use it to spy on me. Which probably has never targeted me specifically, but my data is almost certainly in a tool capable of this. Because this happens frequently.

Of course this happens because they want to make money from it and sell it, but even if they only want it to idk customize my feed to make me like their website more and it never leaves their server, I’d still have to worry about data breaches. Or just someone else taking over and deciding that selling it is great, actually.

And even though I have decided that I personally don’t really care enough to deal with the downsides for quality of life, that doesn’t mean I don’t want this to stop via legal means.

Depending on what games you play it’s anywhere from unusable (games with incompatible anticheat) to flat out better than windows even ignoring all the surrounding bullshit. But many of these gsmes with anticheat are among the most popular games in the world, so there’s plenty of reason not to change just bc of those for a lot of people.

Those will always be a small part. If it’s culturally clear what is harrassment and shouldn’t be tolerated, it’s far more likely that 1) there are actual consequences to sexual harrassment because victims feel comfortable speaking up and 2) that bystanders will try to intervene. Both of which make it less likely for anyone to even try.

When speaking up is met with “you dressed wrong”, “he was just trying to get to know you”, that is the core problem. Adding “you were on the wrong train car” isn’t necessarily helpful.

Japans women-only cars are sadly necessary, but the focus should be on making them unnecessary, not adding gender segregation in more places.

The idea that medieval peasants somehow had more free time than the average modern american still is absolute bullshit as far as I’m aware. Unless “necessary preparations for survival” count as free time just because it’s not contracted work (it doesn’t that’s not what free time means).
