The mystery of the preferred pronouns injection (lemmy.ml)

If have not assigned a “Display name” to my @davel@lemmy.ml account, and as expected—at least on lemmy.ml—it displays as “@davel”. However, on every other instance it displays as “davel [he/him] (@davel@lemmy.ml)” (on Hexbear.net it looks slightly different: “davel [he/him]@lemmy.ml”)....

6% of car drivers are cold blood animal killers, 89% of which are SUV drivers

ENG
Interesting experiment showing car drivers intentionally going on the road shoulder to kill by standing (fake) animals. Not surprisingly the majority of those are drivers

ITA
Interessante esperimento "scientifico" in cui si vedono automobilisti cambiare traiettoria per investire animali finiti sul lato della strada. La maggior parte guidano SUV

BurningRiver,

Erm, I guess this is one of those cases where words don’t translate well between variants of English … I hardly ever see “station wagons” (estate cars?) here, whereas there’s lots of cool lifted hatchbacks around like the Fiat Panda 4x4

"Beijing’s lack of good faith is the first problem:" China will try to manipulate a U.N. human rights review in January which may even worsen the situation in China, experts warn (thediplomat.com)

A United Nations review of China’s human rights record set to occur in January should shine a light on Beijing’s atrocity crimes, but China will play the game to their favor which may actually worsen rather than improve the human rights situation inside China, the Network of Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD) warns....

Why do people not understand that you can agree with one thing someone said or did while disagreeing with the majority of what they stand for? (www.youtube.com)

An example is that I generally despise Jordan Peterson and most of what he says, but I often quote one thing that Jordan Peterson said (in the linked video) because I think it’s a good summary of why toxic positivity doesn’t work....

‘I’m very proud of him’: Sebastien Lai on Hong Kong, accountability and his father Jimmy’s trial (www.theguardian.com)

"There is that idea that we always thought China would liberalise economically, get freer and freer,” says Lai. “But I think Dad realised very early on, and he said in an interview, that wishful thinking doesn’t work. You’ve got to put the work in. And that’s what he did.”...

Proton VPN on Linux looks very different from Windows. How do you select one of their P2P options for faster torrenting?

Pretty much what the title says. I noticed that ProtonVPN Linux has an EXTREMELY limited interface compared to their program on Windows. I also do not appear to have the option to bind qBittorrent to ProtonVPN the same way that I did with MullvadVPN. Has anybody experienced ProtonVPN on Linux and successfully used it for...
