That’s fair, but I think this will rather be fixed algorithmically. More users here (generally) means less users on big tech platforms, which I always appreciate :) Also I think gatekeeping ends up hurting a platform. Even “generic” people can have or develop special interests haha.

Speaks to the fact that we apparently need better and new alternatives or make current tools easier to use.

Certain aspects of discord seem to resonate with people (unfortunately…).

Man pages are great as mentioned, but maybe not as accessible to some people. Are there tools to generate more convenient resources (e.g. wikis) from that? Similar to how generating technical documentations from (structured) code comments.

Where do you live? I’m asking because my experience couldn’t be more different and I’m in Germany.

I’m also a man, went to therapy and my therapist was just fantastic! She could relate to me, gave excellent advice etc., really changed my life for the better.

PS: of course I didn’t have go anything or so, just if I’d miss a session ^^ (in theory, but even 30m late to a 50m session was still fine hehe)

Isn’t screen sharing working since some time? Works even on WebEx from Firefox, can pick any window to share. Granted a few years back it didn’t work, but now it does. Maybe it’s a zoom bug… 🤔

Dolphines are whales. People keep doubting me, whenever I bring that up :D

I think this is more a case of the triangle inequality in metric spaces, as you don’t have to calculate any particular edge to see the shortcut, as well as that it applies to any even non-rectangular triangle.

That’s true (y)

Scrolling past this on an amoled screen with extra-low brightness this kinda looked like a satellite with solar arrays lol

Imagine it’s guerilla marketing haha.

I.e. Karl Popper’s tolerance paradox of being intolerant towards intolerance. Or, in a less confusing way: if someone doesn’t adhere to the mutual rules set by a group of people (read “society”), those rules no longer apply to them.

Respectfully, do you know what incels are? Besides, while your advice is not wrong, I think it’s a bit too broad and OP specifically asked for places/forums. But it definitely holds some truth and utility.

Do you know why?

rainerloeten, 1 year ago

Who does? And why? Lemmy needs content, why wouldn’t one appreciate your posts? ^^

That’s a bit rude, don’t you think? He’s a person too and reads this comment… How would you feel reading st. like that about you? :/

If you have no haters, you’re doing something wrong ;) (Ve)

I think he was being sarcastic, playing with words. Meaning, that you trade in time, runtime and memory and get nothing in return :D so a pretty bad trade haha.

Of course it’s worse, I mean, that was the point of this blogpost, wasn’t it? :p It’s just a (long) joke.

Depends on what you wanna do. Also it’s a matter of preferences. For anything more complex than a simple letter or a table I’m using Latex. But although I love Latex, I must acknowledge that for some it’s not the right tool.

It has advantages and disadvantages as everything in life ;) Ask your favorite search engine or LLM what those are, I don’t feel qualified to elaborate on that.

Best ask that in the sync community, hopefully someone there can help :)

First, many people don’t know how to use WYSIWYG word processing programs, you’revery right about that!

Second, both systems have overlapping use cases which makes it difficult to differentiate between “technically better” and “better in my opinion”, i.e. objectively vs. subjectively.

Finally, use what tool you’re nist comfortable with. But you may want to invest time to get more comfortable with another tool, if your current one isn’t suitable for your job.

PS: things I do repeatedly, I do best in LaTeX. Because for other things I’ve already forgotten how to do them and have to re-learn them each time, which might be more time consuming than using other tools (or just Markdown with LaTeX support hehe)
