  • What actors/actresses make you immediately not want to make a movie/show?

    Jump

  • Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never believe he is the character I always see an actor trying to portrait a character. Like with other actores I can believe I am seeing something that happened. With DiCaprio I'm always aware that I'm watching an actor doing a performance.

    I don't know if that makes a lot of sense. But it's one of the few "good" actor that makes me feel this way.

  • Kagi (paid search engine): "Peertube results now show up in regular searches, plus you can filter by "source" to see more Peertube content."

    Jump

  • I'm not paying for my self hosted searxng and I have more control over my search than any kagi user.

  • What are some of the stupidest, non-political takes you've seen on the fediverse?

    Jump

  • Windows or linux?

    On linux I know that could cause lots of issues.

    On windows I'm not aware of any reason not to keep the graphic drivers updated with nvidia.

  • Not going to argue about the general kid stance. Just about the "shitty parent" bit, which is also de main complain.

    There are two tiers of good/bad parent. There's the objective one, are the kids being hurt? No, then you are a good parent. Pretty easy.

    But there's a more complex one. Are your education as a parent helping to produce an adult with a series of determined characteristics? This is a lot more complex. As there's no universal agree on what a good adult is so there cannot be a good agree on which parenting is good because it produces these type of adults.

    I'd would assume that when people say "you are a shitty parent" they would me mostly saying "your education will produce an adult that I do not consider desirable in my idea of a society". That's subjective. Some people prefer some traits and other prefer others.

    As in this general example if someone sees a kids making a lot of noise and their parents not correcting them they may say "that's a shitty parent". Do they think they are hurting the kids? No. They'll just probably think that those kids will grow up to be noisy adults and they don't like noisy adults, so they think that's not a desirable education for a kid in their society. Nothing more. I wouldn't take those "you are a shitty parent" in any other way.

  • I still think going to war is worse than watching some news about whatever on the tv or tiktok.

    Btw, mental health issues are not on the rise. Diagnosis is on the rise. Before those same mental health issues existed and were undiagnosed and untreated, with terrible consequences. At least kids today are getting the help they need with mental health.

    Good luck in the 80s trying to go to a doctor for anxiety, or to get any kind of mental health diagnosis or treatment as a kid.

    And let's not even mention the constant house violence against kids that used to happen. Boomers and gen x were wildly beaten by their parents as a normal practice. Nowadays parents no longer hit their kids.

    Child protection laws are way better in every way, many kids are no longer forced to stay with abusive families...

    And of course there is a world in difference for an LGBT kid in the 80s compared to now.

    I sincerely don't think there is any reasonable approach to defend that today kids "have it worse" than previous generation.

  • My dearest Lemmy, what is the appliance you have the most beef with?

    Jump

  • "Big sponge" have us all in their pocket.

    My toothbrush head actually starts developing black patches overtime of what I asume is my own bacteria setting in in the brush. Mostly in cavities hard to reach for a normal cleaning.

    For me boiling easily removes those dark patches. It is true that they come back faster than the time they took to appear the first time. Put it peaces my mind and I'm still alive after all this time.

    Funnily enough I stopped using washing sponges in the shower and start washing myself only with my hand because someone told me that sponges were bacterial paradise. And to be true I found out that I really don't need a sponge to clean myself.

  • Haven't boomers been drafted to Vietnam by force? Like you had to go there to die, no options.

    I think being forced to fight a war is pretty worse than most issues of people that age now.

    At least we are talking about young people who live in active combat zones right now. I'm just taking the euroamerican centristic view on the matter.

  • What do you do for them to break so soon?

    I've had two electric toothbrushes in my life. The first one lasted for maybe 10 years. The breaking point was plastic degradation which occluded the internal electronics and destroyed de button to turn it on.

    I think could have been repaired with the right materials. The repairability of the brand I buy is pretty good.

    For anyone curious the brand is:

    Oral b

    The electric toothbrushes are nice but the head replacements are too expensive and I've not find a suitable offbrand replacement. So I end up boiling the toothbrush heads several times to extend their lifetime.

  • The other day I saw someone on lemmy calling some other user a nazi because he didn't want to support .ml

    And they suggested that if they don't want to support lemmy developers they should "go back to stormfront".

    There surely is an abundance of people calling other nazis just because they disagree with them.

  • Now I have a interesting moral question.

    What's if the nazi baker is the only in town or it's the only who make bread at a price you can afford?

    There's certainly a threshold where morals outweigh the desire for a product or service.

    It would depend on many factors, I don't think is as black/white as it may seen.

  • The future of web development is AI. Get on or get left behind.

  • No one can predict the future. One way or the other.

    The best way to not be let behind is to be flexible about whatever may come.

    LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues

    Jump

  • Here's a forum post talking about it 10 years ago.

    https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-do-i-remove-the-1px-border-from-impress-in-full-screen-mode/12096

    At least bug report was filled on 2021. It's possible that other bug reports about this have been opened and closed through the years, bug still there.

    https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142832

    Still unsolved. Creator of the bug report states that it has been around for years. Which I can verify, as it has happened to me for more than a decade too.

  • It's not. Installed and tried last month. A bug that's older that many people here with Fullscreen is still present.

  • What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers?

    Jump

  • I used to get the light prices on my phone widget via a public api. Some years ago they closed the api and started asking for full name and id in order to get api access. So I just made a scrapper that takes the numbers I want from their website and serves an API for the widget.

    That's the only self made app I self host, but I'm quite proud of it.

  • I think in the eu we have some legislation about it. I have the feeling of reading about a law like that before. Subscription buttons needing to be as clear as unsubscribe.

  • I have several books for the 90s about AI programming. AI have always mean any computer program written to "resemble" intelligence, from basic path finding to LLM.

  • That's how I suppose it works in every country.

    The thing is that many people have other sources of income that are not paychecks. Thus why most people need to do this yearly declarations. But it is true that in any modern country this declarations are pre-made by tax agencies and it's easier to fill.

    And there's also deductions. In many countries people can get tax deductions by many reasons and in most places you need to manually ask for them and fill the requirements.

    Here for instance we can deduct money paid to Unions from our taxes. As political and syndicate afiliation is protected by law those payments are not automatically reported to the tax agency so if you paid them you have to manually fill the tax return.

  • I started to use firefox back in 2007.

    I have never changed back. If someday there's a better alternative I'd switch. But sure thing that chromium based browsers are not an alternative.
