They have this quasi-religious cult vibe that makes them like this:

1. Sacred texts that give answers to everything.
2. Saints and prophets. I mean - they mostly identify themselves by someone else’s name - e.g. stalinists, trotskyists, maoists etc.
3. Aggression to outsiders. Building a good sect requires that, it’s how you keep folks inside - just make them hate the outside.

That’s not a scientific conclusion on my part, rather vibe-based one, and some conspiracy theory communities can also be described in that way. Which also leads to next conclusion - they’re kept in by a sense of community, and since that community is built around fringe and often cringe ideas - it only leads to doubling down on ideas that seem stupid or dangerous or simply not thought through to any sensible person.

“Oh, someone had the same problem” as I see forum thread in search results, followed by finding out that thread turned into a gaslighting session on why OP’s problem wasn’t actually a problem, and no solution was provided as result. 🌝

Once during a high school history lesson on a quite debate-inducing topic my teacher just shut me down with “I’m a PhD in history”.

For ~15 years I thought my history teacher was PhD until quite recently discovering it was a lie. 🗿

Yeah, but he probably wouldn’t have won the election if he was hated by majority, especially the second time.

And not to mention all those new wave fashy assholes getting increasingly more popular all over Europe.

If Vatican caved in and chose that trumpist cardinal as Pope over Leo - I’d probably start believing in Antichrist stuff. 🌚

I’ve myself started teaching some years ago and came to conclusion that shitty teachers that I had in school still taught me a very important lesson - how NOT to do teaching.

As someone doing teaching, I already had quite enough of “If you have any further questions - just let me now! 😊” in answer boxes.

1. She’s not.
2. If she was, guy coming to a country that is a goddamn warzone, to chase a girl who likes losers, would definitely land among hottest things by pitysexual standards.

I have a friend like that who’ll be looking at guy and thinking “wow, what a loser… I want to embrace him so bad”.

I’d identify her as “pitysexual”. 🌚

Yeah, but explain that to the children, especially young ones.

I do teaching, and when I set rules about not using phones during class - I put mine to the pile too. You can present the most compelling argument ever, but there’s a much higher chance it’s gonna reach fifth graders if you actually practice what you preach, and show the example of self-discipline, otherwise it will feel dishonest or unfair to kids, because they’re kids.

Article actually describes it well enough, how scientists trained a model on data from CT scans of patients who were treated for other conditions some time before being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

I actually don’t see any issues with AI in Ubuntu as long as it’s not like Microsoft’s “here’s Copilot absolutely everywhere, even in Notepad”. I mean, there’s also no way they can shove it up users throats like that too, even their so beloved snap can be removed from the system quite easily.

But implementing that would still certainly require some constructive discussion with userbase, and it’s already off to a rough start. 🌚

Damn, how do I become a man now that I never subscribed to Joe Rogan’s podcast in the first place. 🌝

I’d add to 3 , that most mobile distros have a list of supported devices - postmarketOS Wiki for example.

And about battery optimizations ( 5 ) - Android devices have quite a number of tricks for battery optimizations, such as few levels of sleep - depending on how long the phone wasn’t touched - with deepest one being very low power consumption mode with only very basic functions active and occasional data refresh for push notifications of high importance. Mobile Linux isn’t yet at that level of optimization, but it will get there eventually.

That TV box is connected to the same Wi-Fi, and those just do that, nothing to be alarmed about, just mild annoyance.

Should give you settings menu entry after long tap on that push notification, where you can block it from appearing.
