  • The Borg are eating well now!

  • Florpty hoondee floon is actually pronounced "För hundra gubbar, Borg spelar redan för Sverige, nu blir det bullfest hela dagen."

  • What is your special interest?

  • If you're into Computer Modern, almost all modern tech variants (not Knuths original) are too light in print. If you look at his printed books from back in the day the letters are thicker. It's just a consequence of using one technology instead of the printing tech the font was designed for. Same thing (but more extreme) happened to Centaur btw.Check out the pictures of CM here: https://www.levien.com/type/cmr/gain.html

  • How well do the hashtags work in practice on mastodon? Are they used as intended and actually useful?

  • Theory: alcohol inhibits the otherwise natural blocking of earth spinning induced motion sickness. If you drink enough, you can feel the world spinning and lose balance.

  • westerners, how do you pronounce the letter "w" do you say dablu or double you or just dub or double v?

  • In sweden we have lots of äss.

    You have 300billion dollars to use for the good of the country/planet. What do you do?

    Jump

  • Iirc, micronutrients and HIV prevention, followed by preventing malaria. The idea is that we spend a little money now, to make many people grow up and be healthy, which avoids big costs to societies while at the same time generating people who can contribute more to the same societies. Many people want to solve the climate first, but it's very expensive for very little return. In an ideal world we would solve all the problems, but... we don't. So if we have limited resources, we should spend it where it does most long-term good. It's not a bad idea to do good things for the climate, but if we have to choose between things to do, it gives little benefit per dollar compared to other things.

    Jump

  • There is a danish researcher called Björn Lomborg who has been researching this type of question a lot. He tends to get a lot of hate because the most cost efficient ways to spend money to do good isn't what people want it to be.

  • Asking the real questions

    Jump

  • No, my passport has my real name of course, with "å". In the airport system and on the boarding pass my name was spelled with "aa".

  • Asking the real questions

    Jump

  • I had to convince people to let me on board a plane because my name contain a swedish letter (å). Their computer system translated it into "aa", which then didn't match my passport.

  • Are you vimming yet?

    Jump

  • The same arguments about learning vi/vim/neovim holds for ed. It's not intuitive, you need to get used to it, you need to learn, etc. People choose not to learn vim for the same reason vim users don't want to learn ed.

  • Are you vimming yet?

    Jump

  • It's a text editor. It all began with the ed editor, which is very simple and does one thing, it edits files. Then someone extended it into the ex editor. Then someone added a new feature: being able to visually see the file you're editing, which became vi, the visual editor. Then someone improved that, into vim. What began as an editor where you needed to be fluent in regular expressions but otherwise was simple, is now a very complex editor, moving the functionality of the old UNIX tools into the editor itself.

    Men of Lemmy: serious question, would you have a romantic relationship with a radfem?

    Jump

  • I like your example with that song. If we interpret the scene as both acting out the behaviour the've been taught, they are both reinforcing each others behaviours. Assuming that both wanted to be together but there was an established "dance" around it. They can only work together. What if one (and only one) of them had not done their part? If he hadn't, she would have left, possibly feeling that he didn't really want her to stay. If she hadn't, she risks being labeled "easy". In both cases, again if we assume they both actually wanted to stay and feel good about it, they don't both get what they want.So... if we now, as a conscious effort from society, are trying to get away from this bad system, it seems to me that the only way is a gradual de-escalation from both sides. It also seems to me that if we only tell men to never "pursue", but do nothing about the "hard to get"-behaviour, then men who follow the new instructions or script will be left with no chance to meet someone.What I think is missing from the discourse today is that it's a hard sell to young men to change their behaviour, if doing so is punished by the same people asking them to change. We're caught in a stalemate where we need to help each other simultaneously, with mutual understanding, trust, and care. In that very sensitive process, trying to move it forward by telling someone they are a potential rapist is probably just making men dig deeper trenches and refuse to listen. Some people want this, I believe. The conflict that lets you feel righteous anger and resentment. But it's not helping.

  • The critical window of shadow libraries

  • How do you decide what to archive, and what is the long term plan? If Annas goes down it can be pieced together again? Or is it served to users now too?

  • thread as in threaded posts as opposed to other parts of the fediverse with another layout. it's not about the instance Threads, but the type of fediverse service allowing a lemmy/kbin type of conversation.

  • The difference, and the best part of the fediverse imho, is that if you're not happy with someone elses rules you can become your own admin and set your own rules. The more we centralize power the further we go against that idea.
