  • I think it's just a child being anxious. Bees don't really wanna sting people, they kill themselves in doing so. But people find them scary so I wouldn't be surprised to see someone standing still if one landed on them, hoping not to upset it.

    But they're not really likely to land on you cause you're a bad place to land, and unless it's something territorial and/or you're seen as a threat to their nest they don't really wanna sting you either. (Not sure if there are any bees in that category but there are certainly wasps, which also don't die when they sting you)

  • I'm not really convinced many IDF soldiers are facing significant risk of losing their life, at least in combat- my impression has been that they and Hamas aren't exactly evenly matched in terms of resources 😅

    I could absolutely be wrong, I'm not terribly well informed on the conflict and what combat casualties each side has suffered

  • Interesting, thanks for the paper link, I'll have to come back to that!

  • This is a wonderful thread :)

    I think I've found the things that give me genuine joy are a little different now than when I was a kid, but any kind of making things is still deeply joyful for me, I just reach for different sorts of mediums as an adult, right now mostly sewing

    And it's not really "making" in the same sense but I'm really enjoying learning how to take care of plants! ☺️

  • Looks like a delicious start to the day ☺️

  • Ah, I missed the camera aspect, but I'm really glad you found a good lead!

    I'm wishing you the best with your project! ☺️

  • Massive respect to iraeli soldiers willing to defy their country. For many (certainly not all) criticising the war and senseless loss of life is an easy thing to just throw out on social media. It's another thing entirely when it's your whole country around you, and you're a member of the military. There's a reason we see people comit atrocities while "just following orders"- it's by far the easier path when you're handed down horrific orders.

    I cannot imagine the consequences they might face for this kind of insubordination but it deserves recognition. The killing serves no meaningful purpose.

  • This kinda stuff gets me super excited! I really hope we start to see this kind of ux focus in more and more foss projects and that these kinds of changes start getting considered and implemented

  • From North Carolina in the US, hello to my neighbors around the world! Hope things are better where you live ❤️ :)

  • There are sealing hardcases sometimes used by outdoorsy folks for things like whit water rafting you might be able to make one out of

    When I googled "raspberry pi waterproof case" a lot of options came up

    Did them in literal exactly opposite order. Two of them had a component or theme I just didn't know enough to complete without guessing or a ton of googling 😅 happy I got it in the end though!

  • This post gave me so much joy, I'm so glad this is a comm on lemmy now 😊

  • I believe the part they consider performative is just the expectation that people who already have them need to get rid of them, sustaining a really big personal loss with no direct benefit in terms of hurting teslas bottom line. But I can see how their exact phrasing could be ambiguous what they really mean

  • Cute! ☺️

  • Yes, and lots of peope who bought said car justifiably had no idea he was a fascist.

  • Yeah, but why do that when we can be sanctimoniously mean to others while feeling morally superior to everyone else?

    Ideology built on pluralism and we're having debate about whether it's cool to be mean to people because they made a choice we don't like (with the fucking benefit of hindsight). Surely if we're mean to people it'll solve all our problems right???

    Sorry clearly I'm no longer capable of engaging with people productively and should step away from the keyboard lol. I 100% agree. There are so many things worth our emotional energy. Bullying people and arguing why they deserve to be targeted maybe isn't one of them 🙃🙃🙃

    I want off this ride lol.

  • The excuse is that that's a horrible financial decision for literally exactly zero benefit at a time where it's getting harder and harder to survive?????

    I will never understand the insistence that is is good and right and justified to target people for random shit. Like making a bad purchase warrants being bullied or getting your shit vandalised.

    I cannot fathom the system of priorities you seem to opperate under. Where performative gestures that cost you huge sums of money and don't accomplish anything are some kind of twisted social obligation because you bought a car from someone who turned out to suck more than anyone realized. And if you don't make that objectively bad life choice then you had it coming.

    Thats fucking unhinged. Who does that help??? Go outside. Talk to your neighbors. Ground yourself in meaningful connections with other people. We wanna build socialism but have created a culture that seems to celebrate being emotionally incapable of building social bonds of any kind with anyone who isn't a mirror image of our every choice and priority. Shit makes me sad.

  • Yeah it's really cool hearing the cumulative efforts of folks to collect and organize knowledge across various languages 😊

    And it sounds lovely!

  • Internet is Beautiful @lemm.ee

    Listen to Wikipedia

  • The first consumer Tesla models came out in 2010. 15 years ago. And even then not everyone keeps tabs on what's up with the CEO of the company they're buying a car from, and is "observing" whether they're being a crappy human.

    He only became an actually important public figure to be aware of and pay attention to more recently. The whole discussion framing Tesla owners as bad people does exactly nothing to improve any of the problems we're facing, it just needlessly antagonizes people and makes them feel guilty for something they very well may have done cause they just care about the electrification of cars as a means towards a healthier environment.

    The only real purpose it serves is 1) advertising how angry you are about the problem which is worthless, and 2) let's people tell themselves they're fighting the good fight and being a good person by antagonizing random people.

    So much of left wing culture feels like it's about sanctimoniously labeling people villians because it let's us feel better about ourselves. Its worse than a waste of energy. I feel we can do better.
