PedantryMint required you to go and enable flatpak support, but it discusses that in the initial "setting up" GUI thing

Crazy how much you can tell me about myself without knowing a single thing. Which of my two previous comments were anti semitic? Was it the one where I said we shouldn't do nothing about injustice; or the one where I said we should voice our opinions?

The genocide didn't happen

I believe 17 thousand dead children and 23 thousand of their dead parents would disagree with you. I think the 116 dead journalists would disagree (hey do you know what a war crime is? Journalists and civilians are protected classes during wartime). They've committed to total war - not just killing fighters, but bombing schools and hospitals too under the guise of "searching for the terrorists." And they revel in it.

Maybe you haven't heard anything about it, but the ICJ has been continuing to speak with both sides about their misdeeds. They've ordered Israel to stop destroying Palestine because they need to have evidence of both sides atrocities (Hamas has commit war crimes too!) to which Israel responded "the IDF is operating to dismantle Hamas military and administrative capabilities." That was this May. Earlier this week, they bombed a school and claimed that 3 of the UNRWA members working there were Hamas agents - with literally 0 evidence as far as the UN can tell.

And before you start writing your response, really think about what you're saying. You claim that those of us speaking out against it are spewing hatred, but I don't hate Israel or Jewish people or any of that. I just wish that 40 thousand people (and counting! Humanitarian sites continue to get attacked to this day) didn't have to die for no reason.

I'm not entirely sure if it uses Unicode, ASCII or something else...

I think I remember Automate the Boring Stuff with Python explaining that python uses ASCIIbetical order, but it's been a minute since I read that book

You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion.

We're just hitting the "random Bible verse" button right? Because speaking out against injustice is something that one can control. I can't stop the injustice, but I can sure as hell make sure everyone knows that I think it's shitty, and I can hope they will eventually stop being shitty.

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Because doing nothing about it is any better? Lol

I have much the same issue, when I can I like to wear jackets that have inside pockets to deal with it. Barring that, back pocket > front pocket > extra pockets IME

Sure, but if you're working 50 hours a week (assuming US, I dunno laws elsewhere) you're guaranteed 2.5 hours of mealtime per week that could be spent watching an informational video or reading an article.

I'm not saying "go back to school or you're wasting your time" I'm saying "you have a few minutes where you could be reading a new idea instead of sitting on social media"

You're injecting malice into my words. The point was "if you have the mental space for it, you should spend your time learning because it helps reduce stress by being both cathartic and relieving issues in your life"

No.

Yes.

Everyone has the time, not everyone has the priorities (this isn't a dig, it's a reference to some inspirational speech I heard in high school). 50 hour work week and 56 hours of sleep leaves 62 hours in the week. Probably another 12 hours split across 7 days for cooking, eating, etc. which leaves 50 hours to recover, study, exercise, or do whatever she pleases.

She values using those 50 hours to recover from the 50 working hours more than learning a new concept. That's not invalid or wrong in any way, everyone has their priorities and values and they're allowed to do whatever they want with their time.

That being said, everyone has the time they just might not have the mental space. But increasing your human capital by learning something new is often a great way of reducing stress. Learn to handle something in a new way, learn a little about financial theory, learn something that helps you at work. The best weapon you have against the injustice of daily life is knowledge. If you have the mental space, find the time to learn something

ETA: Coming from the perspective of a full time student who spends 6+ hours daily searching for a job because I've been down on my luck since quitting a year ago. I grew up poor and watched my mom work full time, put herself through school, raise three kids, and continues to fight every day for the right to live; I know the struggle you're going through right now. Spend your time better than I did.

[-] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

I would agree, except for the continue studying. Everyone has at least 20 minutes of downtime that they could put towards learning a new concept every day

Same here. "Theres a random folder on the USB now but where's the software to put the ISO in there?"

Now, having used Linux for a some time, it makes sense why it's just an empty folder. An ISO is just a file, like anything else.

From what I can glean, it's another sort of mass surveillance, wherein the provider of a chat service would be required to monitor communications for "suspicious activity"

Basically, the government is once again asking for unrestricted access to your personal life "for your own good"
