DerisionConsulting, to upliftingnews in Anti-Trans Canadian March Outnumbered By Huge Trans Rights Crowds, Teachers Unions

Just a head’s up, you’re link is dirty. Here the clean version:
erininthemorning.com/…/anti-trans-canadian-march-…

The protests played out exactly as most people thought they would. The large cities, who normally vote center or left, had more counter-protestors than protestors. This was not the case in smaller cities and towns, which normally vote right.

Something that I found uplifting is that even in my small town, there were counter protesters. Not more than the pro outting-trans-kids-to-their-parents-so-they-become-homeless crowd, but there was a least a group.

In Canada yellow means stop, unless it’s too late to stop then you need to get through the intersection during the grace period before it turns red.

Does it mean something else in the USA?

a lemmy post of a reddit post of a screengrab of a tweet.

If you’ve ever worked a job where you stand in the same place for 8+ hours, you know that it can also be rough on the body. The current advice that I see floating around is to change your position at least every hour.

If you want to be healthier, do the physical exercise that your body can do. Walk instead of drive, and take the stairs instead of the elevator.

They look pretty sweet and they generally aren’t near populated areas

DerisionConsulting, to linux in Fedora or Mint for noob?

From your post:

laptop he uses for university. He’s not a tinkerer and wants something that just works.

Mint:

Linux Mint is known for being very user-friendly and stable. Also easy to get help online.

Fedora:

have to install media codecs via terminal

university wifi eduroam doesn’t work on Fedora

less help on the web for Fedora than Mint.

Unless you’re sure that screen stuttering is going to be a major annoyance, you know what I am going to suggest.

DerisionConsulting, to starwarsmemes in The Trekkies didn't like (and in fact got angry) at the mere image of Jedi Master Kirk, with his lightsaber phaser.

Maybe it was down-voted because it’s “AI art”?

DerisionConsulting, to privacy in How private am I?

Don’t use social media

If you wrote this post, you do use social media.

DerisionConsulting, to asklemmy in Thoughts on reddit reposter bots?

They are spam bots that should be blocked instantly.

DerisionConsulting, to asklemmy in best app for lemmy?

The absolute bare minimum is to show text as it was written. Most of the apps don’t even deal with formatting post correctly, so I am happy to stick with a browser.

If your app of choice does not display the following correctly, let the devs know via a bug report

Bold = Bold v. normal.
Italic = Italic v. normal.
Superscript = ^SuperScript^ v. normal.
Subscript = Subscript v. normal.
Strike-through = Strike-through v. normal.

DerisionConsulting, to baldurs_gate_3 in [SPOILER] Am I playing Baldur's Gate wrong?

Those three fights are the “big ones” in act 1, probably as hard as the goblin camp, what level were you when you did them?

The easiest difficulty make combat a faceroll (which is a great way to experience the story, if that’s your primary goal); balanced makes you care about what level you are for the encounter, positioning, and your party make-up; Honour makes you think about terrain, party make-up, item use, damage types, and resource management.

Your ranged characters shouldn’t be close enough together that they can be hit with an AoE, and ideally, they are somewhere that gives advantage.

:::spoiler Party make up Shadowheart is mean and stupid, and she’s also easily replaced as long as anyone else in the part has “Guidance”. :::

You’re missing a key part to the story, Saul (no, not that Saul/Paul) was buying selling a human woman with those foreskins.
And who was the person who wanted traded these foreskins in exchange for the human woman? David, as in, David and Goliath.

Edit: swapped the vendor/purchaser. I left the religion about 20 years ago, so I should probably fact-check myself before posting.

Take that person’s post, comparing it to cooking.

Sometimes you use a Library pre-made sauce or spice blend as part of a recipe, so you don’t need to waste time remaking something that is commonly used.

Every so often, a company will tweak the recipe for the things you are using, but it still basically tastes the same. Sometimes they just decide that now it’s salty instead of sweet, so it would complete ruin the dish you would like to make.

The recipe you are using assumes you live in Australia where the new version of the sauce/spice blend is more common, but where you live still only sells the old version.

So now you can either wait for the store to sell the new sauce/spice blend, import it from Australia, or try to make it yourself. But you might have another recipe that still needs/uses the old sauce/spice blend. Needing to have both can lead to issues where you use the wrong one, ruining the food you are trying to make.

This is where snaps, flatpaks, and appimages those dish-in-a-box kits come into play. They’ll have the correct version of the spices/sauces you want, so it doesn’t really matter which version you have in your kitchen.

Snaps branded dish-in-a-box kits are developed by Canonical, and they can be kinda weird. You need to check for updates if you need to re-buy them manually, and you can only get them from the “Snaps Store”. Other dish-in-a-box kits allow you to get them from whichever store you want, and will automatically re-order when needed.

And that’s the main issue folks have taken with snaps. If you have 50+ programs are making a meal with 50+ dishes, and you need to constantly check if you need to rebuy them one by one, it gets old quickly.


Also, Snaps takes up a lot of room, and generally just kinda suck compared to installing things normally or through flatpack.

DerisionConsulting, to mensliberation in I Interviewed Hot Guys About ‘Pretty Privilege’ For Men - "According to new research, being an attractive man improves your socioeconomic position more than being a good-looking woman."

I don’t think that attract men are rarer, societally it just seems like we’re being judged on different scales. Something I’ve noticed, although only anecdotally:

If you get a group of people attracted to women to describe what an attractive woman is, you’ll get a fairly similar answer.
This makes it easier to know where you stand, and also easier to become “more attractive” easier, because there is a fairly consistant goal to be achieved.

If you ask a group of people attracted to men to describe what an attractive man is, you’ll generally get a few different archetypes.
A guy with a beard will get an instant 0 from some people, but it’s a positive for others.
A guy with abs will get an instant 0 from some people, but it’s a positive for others.
A guy with little/no hair will get an instant 0 from some people, but it’s a positive for others.
