platypus_plumba,

the article says there are no records for that claim.

Right, but it is important to understand the origin of those differences.

They could be prohibition, straight discrimination, social stigma, culture or personal preference. And these are usually linked together and evolve over time. Once prohibition is abolished, discrimination begins. Once discrimination is abolished, social stigma remains… It’s like decaying radioactive elements.

But yeha, if there are 10% female directors and 10% of the winners were female, sounds like there’s no discrimination there. Anyways, even if percentages don’t match it’s important to go in and check if the decisions were fair. What if the 10% of female directors are really really bad for the movies released that year?

Too many variables. Things like these require statistical analysis, social analysis, artistic analysis… Pretty complex. I don’t know.

platypus_plumba,

What percentage of directors are female?

And you could even argue that we can’t really know if we can know anything, because we don’t know if we are objective observers of the universe.

We can make it as philosophical as we want. Do you know that you can know anything with certainty?

The mind is a mindfuck.

platypus_plumba,

I remember when I could do everything with my phone using a single hand. I never grabbed my phone with two hands. Now I need two hands much more than before.

platypus_plumba,

It really sucks that they charge so much money for the storage difference. Why are the pricing tiers based on the storage? It’s so strange.

Anyways, I recall having a lot of issues with external storage in the past. Like Android just didn’t integrate that shit properly. It was kinda painful having the phone data and photos in separate places. Don’t remember specifics, I just know I constantly wished they were a single location.

platypus_plumba,

Because people love talking about themselves

platypus_plumba,

A compliment can come from anyone,it really does look great. The “big compliment” is just a joke.

platypus_plumba,

Lemmy is too political

A shit post about Chad farquad saying “E” after being asked what’s the second vowel is political?

platypus_plumba,

Use your dick, it’s dirty. You were washing your hands because you touched it, no?

platypus_plumba,

That’s the point of the image. Even NK figured out train stations. I’m not even sure if that’s true, just pointing out what OP meant with the image.

platypus_plumba,

I’ve never used btrfs. Can you give an example of an error and how it is corrected?

But isn’t this the reason why client libraries to talk to programs behind sockets exist? Kinda like an SDK library behind an HTTP protocol API?

He’s the one who should ask for help nicely.

  1. He’s the one asking for help.
  2. This is a 100% free and extremely complex piece of technology built by very smart people, so chances are that he is the problem and not the kernel.
  3. Always be nice, even if the product is the problem. Specially when it is given to you for free.
  4. People are answering to him with the same attitude he used to ask for help. You get what you give.

Imagine you clean your friend’s house for free because you’re a good friend. 2 hours later he calls you and says “What the fuck am I supposed to do with the shoes you forgot to pick from the living room?”.

Can you even call that asking for help? He’s clearly just bitching.

platypus_plumba,

This idea has crossed my mind many times. Thankfully, I’m too lazy to do anything about it.

platypus_plumba,

I was just forced to Switch to Mac and let me tell you that I’m actually enjoying it.

Things I like so far:

  • An actual modern email client that isn’t web based. Web mail clients feel so cumbersome.
  • Same thing for a calendar application.
  • Nice reminders app out of the box. Can schedule alarms on reminders and categorize them.
  • Nice notes app that I don’t need to constantly save. It never closes, which feels great compared to Gedit.
  • Security. Apps notify me when they want to access system resources and I have to authorize them.
  • Unix. Unix matters a lot.
  • Homebrew has incredible support. I can install almost anything with it.
  • Iterm2 feels almost like Terminator.

Things I hate:

  • The fact that they have another keyboard layout. Although, after 3 days I’m getting used.
  • Updates take forever, it’s insane.
  • Can’t easily switch back and forth (not cycle) between windows of same apps. Haven’t figured this one out.
  • Docker runs in a VM, it sucks.
  • Can’t get used to multiple desktops. I hate them.

Honestly, it isn’t as bad as Windows. As long as I have a terminal and a nice shell, I’m good.
