Unsure where to post but does anyone else think beehaw is s little too closed off?
  • I think that the best thing you could do is choose a different instance that is federated with more instances.

    I remember the admins saying that they already conducted a survey of their users and a majority were fine with staying defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works where a majority of users and content is being made. So currently they probably are fine with where they are. It is a matter of what kind of space they are trying to create.

    Also you if you appreciate the moderation here you can always choose an instance that federates with beehaw so you can keep using their communities which is where most of the moderation happens anyways.

  • Well on firefox/chrome extensions you can search for text expander and choose an extension that works for you.

    Or if you are using a phone you can do the same on the app store and I think there should be a few options.

    Once you download one of them it should give instructions on how to use it, but in general it asks you to create a phrase that you want to be automatically triggered and a shorter phrase that automatically replaced with the longer phrase.

    For example-

    long phrase: The quick brown fox jumped over the moon.

    short phrase: /qfox

    and every time you typed /qfox it would replace it with "The quick brown fox jumped over the moon."

  • [Solved] Hidamari is not loading on Linux Mint
  • I was able to solve the problem. Instead of downloading it from the Software Manager I installed it from the terminal instead.

    When I installed it from the software manager it didn't download one of the packages (org.gnome.platform/44) but when I did it from the terminal it did.

    Thx though.

    Edit: Yeah it was a flatpak.

  • [Solved] Hidamari is not loading on Linux Mint

    I recently downloaded linux mint and I wanted use a live wallpaper so I found out I can do that with hidamari.

    I've downloaded from the software package manager but it doesn't launch when I click launch.

    What am I doing wrong?

  • When is the government going to realize that capitalism is becoming a security risk for them.

    The amount of companies that they need to rely on to keep their edge on the world stage is staggering. And all that needs to happen is a few of those companies that don't have developed alternatives making individual decisions to do things cheaper or for more profit will eventually lead to problems like this in critical infrastructure that other countries can take advantage of.

  • There should be a law
  • Because trying to make laws around socialization, at least for businesses, will lead to them just optimizing how to be just within the bounds of the law which pushes the problem down further and they have to create a new law for it. This is worse for socialization because it's ambiguous meaning it can be "satisfied" without really being satisfied.

    It's like a parent telling a child a rule for the house without the child understanding why. The child will follow the rules because there is expected punishment but it is fragile. If the child understands why and agrees then the child will follow the rules and it will be robust.

    So yeah you can do both but I think only one of them actually solves the issue, the other just delays it.

    Edit: added apostrophes.

  • There should be a law
  • I don't think this is something that can changed with laws. It has to be a cultural thing or else there wouldn't be that same weight / understanding behind why they need to do it and actually trying to socialize.

    Also socialization isn't as easily quantifiable as money is and once you start doing that then it loses something in the process.

  • Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic
  • It says that it continued into the Biden era as well.

    The military program started under former President Donald Trump and continued months into Joe Biden’s presidency, Reuters found – even after alarmed social media executives warned the new administration that the Pentagon had been trafficking in COVID misinformation. The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort, which also disparaged vaccines produced by other rivals, and the Pentagon initiated an internal review, Reuters found.

  • I mostly mention that to fend off the people that use the main basis of their argument as the effectiveness because that's not why I'm doing it.

    I do think it could work legally if the courts want to remain consistent, but that isn't guaranteed.

  • U.S. Considers Expanded Nuclear Arsenal, a Reversal of Decades of Cuts
  • Happy cakeday. And yeah deescalation requires both parties to open to de-arm not only one of them.

    Honestly though the best case scenario of how this all ends doesn't really look great to me.

    Either Russia loses the war, the government destabilizes, a power vacuum is formed which causes a power shift in a way likely to lead to more aggressive action in the future.

    Or Russia wins the war, eyes other countries after it settles into Ukraine, NATO/US need to respond or else it sends the wrong message to other countries allied with them, and we head for WW3

    Edit: There is also the idea of a stalemate and this just becomes a continuous war that doesn't really end, but honestly I can't see that being stable long term.

  • What Will Life Really Be Like After The Internet Gets Incinerated?
  • One of the side effects that I think might happen is that we could have local internet be more important than it was before since they would have to build the mesh networks within a community and with various standards which I think would be a good thing in the long run.

  • China wants to recruit military pilots from the U.S. and its allies to strengthen Chinese air power, bulletin warns
  • I'd say that its a bit too early to say that their tech will always be behind (if only because they have access to a lot of critical resources and probably will have ways to copy tech from other companies) but I can agree that their military is definitely not as experienced as the US.

    Brexit, Trump and the Ultimatum Game
    jamesallworth.medium.com Brexit, Trump and the Ultimatum Game

    One of the most interesting experiments in economics is known as the ultimatum game. It deftly gets at a fundamental truth of human nature…

    Brexit, Trump and the Ultimatum Game

    Found this article from 2016 and thought that it is actually a good theory of where we are now as a society.

    The rest are my thoughts on this:

    The ultimatum game is an experiment a dealer has a 100$ and they are able to offer you any split of the money they like and keep the rest for themselves. If you reject the offer no one gets any money. It has been shown that after increasingly unfair offers people tend to reject the offer even though it isn't a rational move.

    People seem to be in a place where they see the benefits of society are unequally distributed and are becoming more willing to throw out the whole system even if it comes at huge cost to them.

    We are seeing the same thing with what is happening in New Caledonia with the riots or with even with just people moving off established social media.

    It seems like level of awfulness that makes people willing to just say fuck it all is different for everyone but with more occurrences of this happening I do think we are reaching a tipping point on a global scale.

    This is actually a part of the reason why I believe countries are starting to regulate social media is so that people aren't reminded of these problems as often.

    For example China recently made a law that is going to repress showing wealth on social media. So this is an attempt to hide the problem instead of actually facing it.

    This is also related to the US election. Rationally people should choose Biden over Trump but according to the polls it seems like it being the "rational" choice isn't enough.

    Who would win: Marine animals or Humans?

    Since whales are teaming up with each other to take down yachts and teaching others how to do it I thought this would be a fun question.

    If a majority of intelligent enough sea animals that could communicate with each other teamed up to mess with human activities in the sea who would win.

    By the way for people that say that humans would obviously win we have already lost a war against emus before.

    I've noticed a lot of chill religious people on Lemmy.

    Idk why I'm mentioning it but compared to a lot of other online platforms where if religion is being mentioned outside of a religious community it is really in your face on Lemmy it seems like when it is mentioned outside of that kind of community it seems relevant to whatever they are saying and are generally nice.

    Its a nice change of pace.
