We could say that about every single general decision that anyone in the world has ever made. It's a truism which tells us almost nothing about this situation.

No, it isn't a double edged sword. Even a mediocre distro would be better than Windows, any distro would be cheaper than Windows, and there's no reason to choose a bad distro anyway.

Why is no one talking about how unproductive it is to have verify every "hallucination" ChatGPT gives you? by orcrist in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

That's true, and my point is that the post didn't say that. The post specifically said something different that was not true.

The Japanese anonymous internet would dox him and harass him. Lots of online malice to be found on 2chan or whatever. No need for anyone here to do it.

Can you think of any titles from real journal articles or essays that are eye-catching?

I'm writing a document for high school students taking an English writing class, and rather than create my own examples, why not use real ones? Several of my students have expressed frustration, and I have some guidelines and brainstorming tools, but what I don't have are two dozen neat examples.

Child slave labor. Jesus. Prison time for the owners please.

Japan wrestles with its views on ‘outside people’ amid population crisis by orcrist in c/worldnews@lemmy.ml

[-] orcrist@lemm.ee 150 points 1 year ago

First, there is no "wrestling". The policy is clear. Second, the only way to fix declining population is to increase permanent residence, which means either a Permanent Residence Visa or citizenship. But it takes 10 years for Permanent Residence, and Japan bans dual citizenship. Work visas do not fix the problem. But work visas are popular because immigrants can be treated as slave labor.

In other words, the author of that article has done a small amount of research but is actually being far to generous to a xenophobic and racist government that's enabling the abuse of foreign laborers.
