I mean, that’s a video of a dude in a costume, did someone didn’t know that? In a way it’s amusing how a shitty prank like this can live in the collective consciousness for 5 decades.

I look at your post with a bit of suspicion- do you want to learn something, or do you just want to talk negatively about America and provoke others to join in? There are terrible and absolutely fantastic schools from infant care to postgraduate education. Many of the world’s best universities are in America. About half of the students in those universities come from American schools. The US has by far the highest number of Nobel laureates, many of whom immigrated after previous education abroad, but not all.
While it is difficult to say anything general about K12 education in a continent-spanning country consisting of 50 states, I wouldn’t summarize it in one word as “crap”.

I think I am principled in some things and not so much in others. Reddit has nothing to do with it. I left Reddit because it was no longer fun. I don’t want to scroll reposts of engagement bait and read the dumbest bot comments under it. I would happily keep using it if it was fun.

I use self hosted baserow free tier at work and no issues in 3 years. Why does it not work for you? My only complaint is the API can’t use the views that exist on the web interface.

What a crap headline. Of course neither the US government nor or the fed nor the treasury is insolvent. The national debt is a large number, has been for a long time, and can be an even bigger number forever. Has nothing to do with insolvency. The fed will always be able to conjure money out of thin air so there can’t even exist a situation in which the government is insolvent. Whether the world economy will forever cherish the dollars they print as a reserve currency is a different question (no it won’t ), and something that deserves scrutiny and public attention. But stupid fearmongering articles like this don’t add anything of value to that discussion.

OP is asking about an accident and responsibility, not a trolley problem.
You pretend AVs can’t make mistakes just face difficult choices. That’s false.
You also pretend AVs are safer than human drivers. Nobody knows if that’s true so let’s not pretend it is.

Moving to a new country is a big change in so many ways. You probably shouldn’t do it for the lulz. Do you have a good reason to move to a specific place? Is there a unique career opportunity, a unique natural resource or community for one of your hobbies, a very important friend or family member living there? Those could be good reasons.
If you have your reasons, bite the bullet, rent a container, and take your stuff with you. Even better if your new employer covers relocation expenses.

It would be important for people to understand that what separates good people from bad people is decency and basic human kindness, not political ideology. In reality, the good people are in the center, and the bad people are on the extremes. Yet, due to the polarization of public discourse, a left leaning person may be convinced that the good people are to the left, and the bad people are to the right from them. If they keep drifting towards the extreme, and keep thinking that everyone to the right is a bad person, eventually they will hate all the decent people in the center, while everyone still to the left from them is an actual monster. Needless to say, the same goes for people who start right leaning and keep drifting to the right. I wish more people realized that the enemies are the crazies on either side, not the moderates on the other side.

Who said this is a forum for the working class? I have not seen this mentioned anywhere. Read the sidebar: this is a generic forum for everyone. I’m inclined to think you are making this up.

Why do you want people with extreme views (left or right) in your community?

thanks, I found it now. fwiw, I asked Perplexity if I can block instances and was told it can only be done by the admin defederating with them. can’t always trust that thing!

I see your point, and I did spend some time searching for the topics I enjoy, but let’s be honest, there’s not so much traffic. A bunch of niche communities have posts every 1-2 months. So naturally, however you sort, some of the more mainstream content (ie political communities, or political content injected in popular non-political communities) will show up in the feed. Which is not a bad thing in itself, but I just can’t keep reading if the majority of comments are toxic.

got it, thanks for the explanation. I know nothing about the content and the general crowd over there, but some accounts registered there were definitely brigading political posts over .world, and not in a tasteful way. I don’t have screenshots or names because I blocked them. I’m not saying this is the instance’s fault.

That’s what I did, because I didn’t know anything about how it works when I signed up. I guess the big ones near the top of the instance list are more random than smaller ones (reversion to the mean), but even there, mander.xyz users tone seems different to me.

Wow, thanks, such a helpful response! I’ll try the web interface for instance blocking. Another sus instance I saw today was blahaj.zone. To clarify, I also didn’t see fascist stuff, I just mentioned it because I felt it important to point out that I also don’t want to see that kind of content. I guess I saw one too many “so you are not a fan of Stalin, you must be fascist” comment today.

Thanks for the link, this was a good read. OP’s title still sucks.

I still think there are different standards for filler words during conversations and titles in writing. In this case, the post title is simply a lie. For example:

Title: Florida Man Actually has Three Legs.
Content: guy’s got such a big dick, he’s practically a tripod.

In this case, that’s a misleading title.

Edit: I also wanted to add that a title is parsed on its own, without context. Of course, “literally” can mean “not literally”, but one needs context to figure that out. In this title, such context is not there.

I don’t think OP knows what literally means. The wsj did not ask the question in the title. It asked a different question.

They don’t simply work because each application needs to be explicitly whitelisted by the admin.

Same goes of course for graph.

Cool, thanks! What do you use for RSS?

Yes, there are plenty of technologies that would work for email, but those are all blocked by the MS tenant, except outlook, which is not released for Linux. Spoofing the From: field is probably not good practice either…
