You mean this guy could have saved us from Google's browser monopoly? The world could have been so different...
What does this app do?
I see what the problem is.
Here, this should be more agreeable to you:
The New York Times is full of shit (Opinion)
Least reactionary lemmy.world user.
This is really disappointing. The Working Designs translation is nostalgic, sure, but it's also garbage.
What's the point of preserving artifacts if there's no one to look at them anymore?
Holy shit, they remembered Eternal Blue exists.
How can anyone like reading those samey-same replies constantly?
What do you propose as the solution, then? Without any up-front disclosure of the triggering content being present, how can anybody make the choice whether or not to expose themself to it?
There’s evidence that trigger warnings actually worsen anxiety and are counterproductive
I'd be interested in seeing these studies.
The way to treat anxiety is to face the source of anxiety to try and change your relationship and reaction. The best way to do this is via controlled access that exposes one to the trigger gradually in a context that has no risk of harm (eg a media depiction, discussing the concept, building up to discussing the source of trauma that led to the phobic response if applicable)
Trigger warnings enable active avoidance. This sensitizes one to the aversive stimuli and makes the phobic response stronger. As a result when one encounters the stimulus (eg a friend, family, celebrity etc commits suicide, suffers an eating disorder, etc) your resilience to the trigger is now even lower and the response is more likely to be more significant than it was before.
These two paragraphs seem to contradict each other. Controlled access in a safe setting like a media depiction sounds great. That's exactly what trigger warnings are for. How can you possibly do controlled exposure without knowing if the content is there or not?
Trigger warnings enable active avoidance.
Incorrect. Trigger warnings inform you that the content is present in the media you're about to watch. What you do with that information is up to you.
Mark Richard Shuttleworth (born 18 September 1973) is a South African and British entrepreneur who is the founder and CEO of Canonical, the company behind the development of the Linux-based Ubuntu operating system.[1] In 2002, Shuttleworth became the first South African to travel to space, doing so as a space tourist.[2][3][4] He lives on the Isle of Man and holds dual citizenship from South Africa and the United Kingdom.[5][6] According to the Sunday Times Rich List in 2020, Shuttleworth is worth an estimated £500 million. --Wikipedia
This explains so much.
I would have asked this on a math community but I couldn't find an active one.
In a spherical geometry, great circles are "straight lines". As such, a triangle can have two or even three right angles to it.
But what if you go the long way around the back of the sphere? Is that still a triangle?
(Edit:) I guess it's a triangle! Fair enough; I can't think of what else you would call it. Thanks, everyone.
You don't have any Retroachievements because you're bad at video games.
I don't have any because RetroArch sucks and also I'm bad at video games.
