  • Then the "i" would likely be a dash too

  • Interesting
  • I regret this username, everyone keeps tagging me :/

  • Self-balancing commuter pods ride old railway lines on demand
  • Connect them together for efficiency, and maybe use both rails for stability and to reduce design conplexity. (you dont even need any additional infrastructure!) Also, have them arrive regularly, so that users don't need to bother with an app! Brilliant!

    Seriously though, it's really amazing how people keep inventing trains but worse. I guess this idea makes some sense if there aren't enough riders for regular train service, but still...

  • What zombie work across all mediums does it better?
  • Points for zombies:

    The isolation and dread caused by the entire world turning into flesh hungry monsters, including family and friends

    The body horror of being bit and inevitably losing control of your mind and having your body decay (also you can perhaps hide your infection from the rest of the group?)

    There are always more, they never stop. Basically turning human persistance hunting against ourselves

    Also they just make a good excuse for an apocalypse, with humanoid things to shoot

  • [US] Rep. Robert Garcia calls out Peru for classifying trans, intersex & nonbinary people as mentally ill
  • I mean, I am mentally ill, but not because I'm nonbinary.

  • Which song is forever linked to a movie for you now?
  • Where Is My Mind? by Pixies - Fight Club

    Analyse by Thom Yorke - The Prestige

  • What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?
  • I think you’re missing their point, they weren’t saying that Blender is cad, it’s just a good comparison, as a successful piece of software in the the same broad, general category (3D modeling)

    We want what Blender is to mesh modeling, rendering, etc, but for parametric cad, manufacturing, etc. Basically Fusion 360 but open source, without any of Autodesk’s bs. Ideally it would even work together with Blender for rendering.

  • It's barely June, and the Mayor of London is causing ANOTHER pride flag discourse on the app that is Twitter
  • I think a more direct comparison would be flying the US flag with a state flag covering half of it.

    Personal identity flags are perfectly fine, alongside the rainbow pride flag or just on their own. Just don't cover over the "everyone" flag with specific identities. That's like the opposite of the flag's meaning.

  • hell yeah mint
  • Arch is great if you want to customize your system, but I wouldn't say it really needs "maintaining" beyond just updating more frequently. (which you don't even really need to do very often, you just have the option to get newer versions of software.)

  • Genuinely the only time Arch has broken something I can't fix myself
  • Have you tried rolling back the affected packages from the main repo?

  • Is there a term for a gathering of trees in an open field?
  • So you’re saying that corpses make copses?

  • "Coked-up Dracula playing poker" could actually work
  • Such a good book. The vampires seem out of place in the hard sci-fi setting at first, but I think it’s actually quite well done, and ends up being very thematically relevant in the story.

  • Parents Should Pay Higher Taxes
  • I wouldn't say I agree with OP, but yeah, until we can ensure good quality of life for everyone and completely reverse environmental destruction, we should discourage bringing more children into the world.

  • What skill can I learn while stimming?
  • Not a useful skill, but you could try speedcubing

  • Threads is automatically hiding comments that mention Pixelfed
  • You can't use mastodon from Lemmy, but you can from some threadiverse software like Kbin.

  • A nuclear plant’s closure was hailed as a green win. Then emissions went up
  • Except that modern nuclear technologies like LFTR are objectively way safer, and even with 60s technology and unsafe operation, nuclear has fewer deaths per MWh than just about every other form of energy generation. It's just that nuclear's failures are more concentrated and visible.

  • Planning on moving over from Windows 10 to Linux for my Personal Work Station. Can't decide which OS I should switch to.
  • Yeah I would say you might as well just go with mint then. Debian based distros are popular for a reason.

    EndeavourOS is really probably the best overall option though, as you have the best software availability, but if you're not comfortable using the terminal, I might avoid it. (Although I will say that package management with yay is super easy, just yay [packagename] to search and install interactively. Also to update your system just alias yay -Syu to "update" if you have trouble remembering the right flags. I'd really recommend learning to use the terminal regardless of distro, though.)

  • Teens, with mixed feelings about their own phones, say their parents need to log off
  • There's a huge difference between kids playing with toys or coloring books and watching tiktok on their iPads. Not even remotely the same, and it's concerning that so many perents don't seem to understand that.

  • Zoomers: how are Millenials hypocrites?
  • First of all, it's perfectly viable to just not eat meat. Tons of people don't eat meat and are perfectly healthy.

    If you need meat replacements, (which is for taste, let's be clear) there are a TON of good substitutes, for example Beyond.

    Also to your previous point, food waste is a big problem, but thermodynamically, meat IS food waste. Only a fraction of the energy of animal feed is present in the meat, which is super resource intensive and environmentally terrible (not to mention all the methane produced)

  • How easy is it to go back to using staggered keyboards?

    How easy is it to go back to using staggered keyboards? I've been tempted to switch to ergo, but I'm worried about being able to still use laptops effectively.
