If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Because their creators allowed them to ponder and speculate about it.

How valid is the claim that people coming or going to blue sky/mastodon/X/Truth Social will cause echo chambers to increase? is it bad? in c/technology@lemmy.world

Oh, I've questioned everything.

151 Russian UAVs entered Belarusian airspace in November. 82 returned to Ukraine or Russia, 66 disappeared, and at least 3 were downed by Belarusian air defense. in c/ukraine@sopuli.xyz

I assume the cover story is that Russia just needs to pass through Belarusian airspace to get to Ukraine. But yeah, it seems like maybe something else is going on if 3 were shot down... unless the Belarusians incorrectly assessed they were from Ukraine? 😕

What are your thoughts on Zen Browser becoming a lot more popular than Floorp? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] canadaduane@lemmy.ca 38 points 7 months ago (5 children)

There is a certain strain of open source development that is nearly anti-marketing, as far as I can tell. They choose names like "gimp", "git", "frotz", "borg", "pooch", "butt", "slurm", "mutt", "snort", and "floorp".

[rant] everytime i give it a chance, btrfs lets me down in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I had some trouble with ZFS and kernel compatibility when upgrading the OS, so I switched to btrfs. It's been fine for 3 years now, including a kernel upgrade.

EU agrees to extend the scope of sanctions on Belarus to fight circumvention (ec.europa.eu)
 

"In particular, the new measures create a closer alignment of EU sanctions targeting Russia and Belarus and will help to ensure that Russian sanctions cannot be circumvented through Belarus."

English Language Dictionary from the Pop Launcher (lemmy.ca)

I like to have easy access to an offline dictionary via the Pop Launcher (Super key, followed by "define ").

You can install this dictionary/launcher plugin like so:

curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/canadaduane/pop-dictionary/main/install.sh | sh

Then try tapping the Super key (e.g. Windows key, or whatever gets you into your Launcher overlay) then type "define awesome" and you should see the GoldenDict entry for "awesome" pop up.

Hope you enjoy!
