He's going to be able to harass everyone that had blocked him.

When all USB could do was 5V I already didn't trust any charger but mine - I couldn't believe people dared to connect their devices to charge into any public USB chargers.

Now that they can go up to 20V, and we have to trust everything will work with the negotiation and wiring to get the right voltage, it's even scarier!

Chess at pro level is brutal. One can get mentally mauled if the adversary has a superior, trained for cruel psychological warfare, mind.

Men just don't stand a chance.

Haha, I guess many dog owners just can't see it how it is; probably an addiction to the lopsided unconditional "love". I used to comment something similar back in Reddit, just to see the flood of downvotes and outraged dog owners.

Same reaction to supporting the idea that some breeds are generally more dangerous and/or more aggressive. "Oh, my MY pitbull is a sweetie!!" (adding this here just to test :D )

Yes, and I heard as a response "but he LOVES the cage". Really? Why does it need a door with a latch then?

Yes, I'm pretty sure they were still dogs. No crippling deformities.

(edit: but if you need to filter "anecdotal" evidence, just add "in the western world, in modern history"?)

Thousands of years ago they were dogs, not fashion accessories.

Dogs were hardwired by selective breeding to worship their owners. Not long ago they at least were loyal companions. You got one off the streets, fed it leftovers, washed it with a hose, it lived in the yard, and it was VERY happy and proud of doing its job. Some breeds now were bred into painful disabling deformities just to look "cute", and they became hysterical neurotic yapping fashion accessories. Useless high maintenance toys people store in small cages ("oh, but my child loves his cage") when they don't need hardwired unconditional lopsided "love" to feed their narcissism.

... "and actually get something useful (advanced or not) done with Linux instead of wasting time tweaking animated windows transitions and bragging about how many distros you hopped last week"

[–] jsveiga@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago

What's the purpose? Which application do you have running on Linux that you think you need to compile everything, configure everything, and that will only run on an "advanced" distro?

Is it some high specialized clustered distributed high performance, high availability computing application where you need your own kernel tweaks in?

Or are you just a distro hopper, tinkering just for the sake of it and for imaginary bragging rights? If it's for learning, try to establish a specific real goal and learn how to reach it.

Some social media focus on people, some on subjects.

One type tends to create "influencers" and circle jerking opinion bubbles, the other forces you to interact with different opinions around subjects you like.

I hope Lemmy stays on the second type.

Besides, with the volatility of instances, and user logins not being universal across instances, Lemmy also makes it harder to do that, and as a bonus devalues karma hoarding.
