LesserAbe, to comicstrips in Pen Pals!

Does anyone know someone with a pen pal? It’s a nice idea and I remember doing it in elementary school, but who has the time?

LesserAbe, to linux in On how to fork a GNOME Core app without meaning to do so – GNOME adventures in mobile

I know very little about contributing to open source but appreciated reading this. Seems like often the interpersonal element is the biggest challenge and the author handled it well.

LesserAbe, to linuxmemes in What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs?

Also guess I should say my solution is to run a virtual Windows machine on my Ubuntu laptop

LesserAbe, to linuxmemes in What do you guys do when you want to run unmaintained programs?

Maybe I’m missing something or don’t know how to use wine, but more than 50% of the time if I try to run an old windows program it doesn’t work.

LesserAbe, to memes in I'm starting to think it's a conspiracy to waste otherwise productive people's time.

I haven’t followed mods of c/politics at all, but I’m skeptical that it’s a right wing echo chamber because we’re talking about Lemmy

LesserAbe, to privacy in Active combat against surveillance instead of passive defense

I like the sentiment. The challenge is that those who violate privacy benefit financially, while those who defend against it are just trying to protect themselves. To go on the offensive requires effort and know-how without any corresponding financial or personal benefit. A spite based effort sounds appealing but wouldn’t be sustainable.

I love Calvin and Hobbes

LesserAbe, to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

You’re right and I think it helps to remember certain traits which make religion “fit” from an evolutionary perspective can be beneficial to its followers: believing that the most powerful being in the universe is on your side instills confidence and a sense of well-being. Having community members who believe that God has mandated they should help each other means people may receive assistance when they experience difficulty.

I would argue in the long term having beliefs which are more and more consistent with observed reality is more sustainable. The further your beliefs are from reality and the longer they’re held the more likely something will go wrong. Still, if we (whoever that is) want to encourage people to move away from religion we should think about how we can replace the positive aspects of the religious experience.

LesserAbe, to comicstrips in A fish out of water

Thanks for sharing! Besides thematic similarity also visually pleasing.

LesserAbe, to comicstrips in The beginning of civilization

That’s why all the funny movies are no more than five minutes long

LesserAbe, to lemmyshitpost in word

As OP I can share that’s just the color of the tiles

LesserAbe, to comicstrips in [ADHDinos] Too much effort
LesserAbe, to memes in Dont be fooled by cable news

Would probably be more impactful if I had seen that show

LesserAbe, to privacy in roku remote app showing ads now

Pardon what might be an obvious question, but can you watch paid services using this set up? (Netflix/HBO/prime etc)

LesserAbe, to lemmyshitpost in Walk for miles

I skimmed that website but my mind refuses to engage with the text.
