Uh-oh, reddit also deleted a top comment for recommending Lemmy - are they Good or Evil? Binary thinker brains asplode!

Like when you set some important object down in a random spot and genuinely believe you'll remember where it is when you need it again, in spite of this never working ever.

edit: for reference, seconds after posting this I looked to the left and noticed the lovely piece of pie I brought in here with my tea about a half hour ago. I've almost finished my tea.

I just let the fediverse worry about that. I guess just don't share stuff you don't want to share.

From a browser image: Right-click an image and click Copy Image on the popup. In the lemmy comment editor press ctrl-V or right-click and click Paste. Lemmy uploads the image and constructs an inline link to it.

From an image file: In the Lemmy comment editor click the Upload Image button and select an image file.

LOL yes I'm all for mocking species-specific group names. Just say "bunch" or "group" and everybody knows exactly what you mean.

It seems like most big changes are set in motion by elites who benefit from them, with the teeming masses convinced a) to go along and b) that they're driving. Historically this could be because elites have had a pulpit, either from holding office or having access to publishing and more recently broadcasting. In really recent times the masses finally got access to a broad audience via the Internet, but since they mostly use it to post boobs and complain about game companies, elites are still in the driver's seat.

So it could be that being led around by a privileged few is just how humans work, and it's up to enlightened individual elites to make parts of the world better for short periods while they're alive.

That actually sounds like a good personal motto. For a long time mine has been, "There's always more than one way," but you've got me thinking.

No, the salutes happen after people already let it die.

Reminder, Harris would not do this.

Reminder: Be sure to flair it as "Solved"!

Well, reading comprehension hasn't changed. I said "most" not "everyone". Amazingly the world isn't binary.

Familiar story for anyone in IT.

Well, it is day one and he did warn us. Harris would not have done this, and the Gaza ceasefire seems to be working so far. Oh well.

They can indoctrinate for a while, but education (as opposed to vocational training) inherently encourages critical thinking skills that make people progressively more resistant to the indoctrination.

Investing in education is the mark of a rising nation. Imposing lifelong debt for it is the mark of a falling one.

The Trump Supreme Court has entered the chat.

Needs a tattoo that says "Real snake, do not touch!"

Car user manuals used to tell you how to refill the battery. Now they tell you not to drink what's in the battery.

Also most student-age people today who would have become programmers 20 years ago probably won't, because AI will be generating most code. The definition of "programming" will change to writing and tweaking effective specs for AI to generate code from. Back in the 80s and 90s I liked to say our ultimate goal as programmers was to eliminate our own jobs. Well I'll be darned...

The Tandy (i.e. Radio Shack) TRS80 was affectionately known back then as the Trash 80. My first experience at programming was in high school in 1971 or 72 on a paper-roll teletype style terminal, that was connected to a PDP-11 at OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). It wasn't even a class, just an after-school activity run by our math teacher, Mr. Tuhy. My masterpiece was a tic-tac-toe program that could always win if it went first, and always at least tie if the human went first. I accidentally deleted it lol.
