Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Antivax is a way for people to rationalise their fear of needles
1·13 days agoThe COVID vaccine definitely did cause me some pain on the skin when I got it. That doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have gotten it, of course.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•LiberNT: New ReactOS Fork Aims for Windows 11 Compatibility
8·14 days agoNo. WTF, we shouldn’t want AI training to be considered copyright infringement (not when Microsoft does it, not when someone else does it from Microsoft’s code). We should want copyright to be weakened, not strengthened; I’ve believed that for 20 years and have no intention to stop believing it now just because AI has now become a thing.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It must suck being a divorced time-traveller with kids
1·16 days agoI mean, every single time travel story ever has contradictions like that. One of the most famous is “Back to the Future”, which when you think about the details of how time travel supposedly works, makes no sense at all.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•ReactOS Can Now Be Installed & Used With Its NTFS Driver
6·18 days agoAnother answer already gave you the information you look for, but this is really just a case of “politics makes strange bedfellows”.
Russian government officials want to replace Windows with ReactOS because they want Russia to be independent from US companies like Microsoft.
I want to replace Windows with ReactOS because I believe in free and open source software as a movement for individual freedom.
We are not the same, but can still work together on something practical like this.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•how to improve logging with gpslogger?
2·21 days agoI have it set to an interval of 60 seconds just like you, and everything (GPS, network, and passive) turned on; that is, when I have it turned on. I often turn it off when there is presently no good reason to log my location. It doesn’t drain my battery very much, so not sure I can help you any further.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•how to improve logging with gpslogger?
1·21 days agoWhat is your purpose in using GPSLogger at all? Difficult to say how you should configure it if we don’t know why you’re logging your location.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Cat food should come in realistic flavors
10·22 days agoinstead of things like tuna, deer, and duck
Tuna and deer, ok; but are you sure cats are incapable of hunting ducks?
Chickens and rabbits are also small enough that some cats might hunt them (at least when they aren’t fully grown yet), and I’m pretty sure cat food with their meats does exist.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Whenever I talk to not terminally online people
11·23 days agoA long time ago (I cannot find it anymore, may have been deleted) I read a “tale from tech support” where a user called tech support and complained “my operating system is missing”. Retelling from memory:
Tech support person tried to walk the user through various steps until the user said “ok, let me just close these documents…”
“Wait, you have open documents? Your operating system is not missing.”
“What? No, it is.”
“If your operating system were missing, you wouldn’t be able to do anything with your computer, you wouldn’t have open documents. If you can do that, you definitely have some operating system. What version of Windows is the computer running?”
“Windows 7.”
“There you have it, that’s your operating system.”
“That’s Windows, not operating system.”

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•My generation was probably the last one to get told "You won't have a calculator in your pocket all the time" by our math teachers.
1·29 days agoSome point in our seventh overall year of school, as I recall, i.e. during the school year in which we turned 13 years old.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•My generation was probably the last one to get told "You won't have a calculator in your pocket all the time" by our math teachers.
2·29 days agoI don’t remember being told that, only that we weren’t allowed to use calculators yet, period.
Coincidentally we started to be allowed to use calculators around the first iPhone’s release date. I don’t think those things had anything to do with each other though. 😛

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Part of being an adult is knowing that chicken wings are delicious but you shouldn’t eat them every day.
1·1 month agoNo, I may or may not have had it at a restaurant or something, but if so, don’t remember it. It’s not a usual food where I live.

2·1 month agoOK, I wasn’t thinking of the sauce, that part could be unhealthy.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Part of being an adult is knowing that chicken wings are delicious but you shouldn’t eat them every day.
221·1 month agoCompared to lots of other foods, chicken wings aren’t especially unhealthy, I think? They aren’t normally deep fried, chicken is a healthier meat than beef or pork, not sure there are good health reasons not to eat them every day? Of course it gets boring after a while.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•people keep saying that we need to lower our standards of living to live sustainably, while at the same time refusing to give up facebook and instagram
11·1 month agoFacebook and Instagram don’t sound like especially resource-heavy activities at all, compared to many others people routinely engage in; not sure what you’re trying to tell us.
Yeah. It is. I pretty much grew up on IRC myself…

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Can you run multiple servers on one machine (e.g. Raspberry Pi)?English

The keyword is virtualization.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Why isn't there one service that combines rss reader and bookmarking?English
1·1 month ago??? Highly unclear what exactly you are imagining.



Even in places like that, it might cause people to avoid additional, less necessary, car trips.
