  • Two possible and opposite interpretations of your comment:

    1. Modern Linux feels exactly as responsive or worse on modern hardware than old Linux used to feel on old hardware.
    2. Linux feels much more responsive and fast on modern hardware than it does on old hardware, unlinke other OSes.

  • you're thinking too much like a computer.

    in human speech, when "quote unquote" is used, it's typically obvious when the quote ends from the tone and pace of what is said.

    the function of "quote unquote" is to reduce the awkwardness and increase the impact of reciting a quote by obviating the need to state the word "unquote" at the end of a quote.

    compare:

    He ended every speech with quote and carthege must be destroyed unquote

    with

    He ended each speech with quote unquote carthege must be destroyed

    Try saying both out loud. I think you'll agree that the second form sounds less awkward and more impactful

  • I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

  • **The occasional plastic carrier bag is fine **

    A single-use plastic bag: the sin of any environmentalist. Many of us know the agonising pain of turning up at the supermarket, then realising you’ve left your reusable shopping bags at home. The next 10 minutes is a comedy show, seeing how many items you can stuff into your pockets, clutch in your arms, and even grip between your teeth. You will not let the team down by asking for a plastic bag. I do the same. Even though I know better: the data shows us that the occasional plastic carrier bag is not that big a deal. In fact, in many ways, a single-use plastic bag is better than some alternatives. At least when it comes to the carbon footprint, it’s much lower than the rest. You’d need to use a paper bag several times, and a cotton one tens to hundreds of times to ‘break even’ with the plastic carrier.35, 36 This is also true for other environmental impacts such as water use, acidification, and the pollution of water with nutrients such as nitrogen. This doesn’t mean you should switch back to using single-use carrier bags: it just means you should make sure you’re reusing the other types of bags a lot. If you’re buying a new organic tote bag every second visit, you’re really making things worse. And as seen in previous chapters, you should be focusing much more on what you put in the bag than the bag itself. It will have a much bigger environmental impact. The problem with plastic bags, then, is that they can pollute our waterways. But, like any other form of waste, only if we don’t manage it properly. In rich countries, unless you’re littering near a river or coastline, they’re probably not going to end up in the ocean. Even sending it to landfill is not a big deal. This is a problem in low- to middle-income countries where the use of plastic bags is on the rise but the infrastructure to deal with the waste is not. That’s where tight rules on single-use plastic bags, and the availability of alternatives, really make a difference. So, be conscious of how much you’re using. Take a rucksack or a sturdy bag and reuse it again and again. But you don’t need to stress out if you reach the supermarket till and realise you’ve left it at home.

  • I remember when in 2018 there was an uproar against Trump using that language

    President Donald Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as "shithole countries" during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators

    The U.N. human rights office said the comments, if confirmed, were "shocking and shameful" and "racist,"

    [source]

    I'm not surprised to see Lemmy embrace and adopt Trump's language, so long as it's aimed at countries y'all dislike, and so long as it fits y'all's agenda
