Man. Last time I just wanted to check if my new laptop was working properly, so I booted up it's preinstalled Windows. I literally had to look up how to get Windows to get me into Explorer without creating an account or connecting it to my network.
It took me about 25 minutes and Windows was already installed on the damn thing.
It took 15 minutes from booting a prepared Fedora stick to logging in.
I honestly believe that, by now, Linux is no more difficult than Windows. People are just not used to the differences.
Die Pointe ist rassistische Stereotypen. Scheint einige Menschen mental und humoristisch komplett auszufüllen.
Im Orginal war der "Witz" noch ein anderer, mit andren Stereotypen; kann mich aber gerade schlichtweg nicht mehr dran erinnern, was exakt es war. (Vermutlich besser so xD) Ist auch nebensächlich, inhaltlich war's dasselbe und exakt so "lustig".
Dafür ist die Reaktion, wenn ich mich richtig entsinne, sogar der exakte Wortlaut gewesen.
"[…] und dann flüchtete der Schwarze mit der Melone."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…mit der Melone."
"…"
"…der Schwa-"
"Hab' ich schon verstanden. Aber wo ist die Pointe?"
"Ach, mit dir kann man solche Witze nicht machen."
( Leider basiert auf einer wahren Begebenheit ._. )
Tbf, furries are ⅔ LGBT.
There's research on that. Thanks, Canadian goverment.
Edit: ITT: Someone spends 10 fucking hours responding to every single reply thats even remotely empathetic towards furries, while being a wedge-issue little shit. This is so sad.
Furry or not; we are stronger together.
Nono, it's:
"I need to format stings with values from a dictonary. What should I do?"
"Use Django. It has a templating engine."
^This is based on a actual exchange I saw on XDA^
It does.
Look up sourdough recipes. The bacteria and yeasts will eagerly eat some longer-chain carbs. They aren't picky. Same goes for commercial supermarket yeasts.
Maybe I'm too European for this, but I would never have thought of putting sugar in regular bread. Even milk buns don't have added sugar in them, unless you count lactose.
…I'll have to try this, because it sounds off to me. Like putting a dishwasher in the bathroom. Not really insane. But I'd quietly judge someone who does that.
Edit: Not great for bread.
"Unfortunately, the Cybertruck is BEING made political."
"I sleep and drive soundly knowing my Cybertruck existing in the world is itself a giant self driving stainless steel middle finger to all the snowflakes and communists out there."
"Super straight" in profile (very unstable).
Who downvoted that?
You have to watch pretty fucked up footage to get this joke. Imo it's a really reasonable question.
SUVs, anyone?
No?
We also have crossover SUVs.
Maybe a SUV mixed with a coupé?
Still no?
How about a Combi mixed with a SUV?
Our cheapest option?
That'll be 30.000€.
Electric? No. That one isn't electric.
For that you'll have to upgrade to our eSUV.
Why… why are you leaving?
I finally managed to pollinate my cherimoya!
For the uninitiated: Pollinating cherimoyas is a bit tricky, because their flowers only bloom for a single day. During this time, they are initially female and can absorb pollen, but only turn male in the evening to harvest pollen from.
To pollinate them successfully, you have to sacrifice at least one flower, take its pollen and hope that the next flower opens before the pollen is no longer viable.
They also develop large velvety leaves:
TLDR: Citrus keeps turning black and oozing resin. But I can't find the problem. I thought it must be root rot, but they look perfectly healthy:
Long version: Because my first and second citrus trees fell victim to root rot, I started using a very airy substrate made of pine bark, perlite and some humus/worm castings in a 5:1:1 ratio for all my plants (figs, pineapple, cherimoya, monstera, etc.) with little adjustment. You may recognize this as 'aroid mix'. But it works surprisingly well in my indoor space with a west-facing window and terracotta planters (and my tendency to overwater).
But I can't wrap my head around citrus.
It always starts with rapid growth, followed by very suddenly dropping and crisping leaves, black stems and finally death.
I thought I must be root rot again, which I need to mind during winter. But today, when I dumped my fifth (!) tree, I found only perfectly healthy roots and nice smelling substrate.
I think it must be a pathogen… but what? I am at a loss. I keep killing my citrus trees and I don't know why. :'(
EDIT: replaced "5:1:1 mix" with "5:1:1 ratio" for clearification.
One of my smaller monstera pots keeps growing these little mushrooms and I'm wondering what exactly they are.
They come after every watering and dry off pretty quickly in about half a day or so.
EDIT: They are 'fairy inkcaps'. Thanks to Guenther_Amanita@slrpnk.net!
If I read the cited sources and they turn out to be a bunch of untested hypotheses based on poorly conducted studies… I'll be mad.
Just skimming through it makes a bad first impression.
…I'm not even trying to be derisive. I'm just really angry at how much "there's a study" has become "there's proof". And I shouldn't even be mad because communicating that difference should be the authors' job.
If you value your time, don't read any further because I'm just going to vent a little:
So I lack any formal education (apart from ficking school). The best thing I can say about myself is that I can hold and mostly understand a conversation with people who are actually educated in their field.
But some studies are bad. Like bad-bad. So bad that I think, most people who can read should be able to recognize their flaws if they actually read them.
For example:
I read a study a while back about genetic (as opposed to learned) prepositions of monkeys in relation to their biological sex and preference for toys.
The methodology was bad, but here's the shittiest part imo: At the end of the study, the researchers found that of the 130 or so monkeys, only about half showed any preference for any kind toy. So the researchers excluded the unbiased monkeys from the test. Of the remaining monkeys, still only the males showed any preference for the "male" toys. So the females were also excluded. In the end, only 30 monkeys actually counted, because they showed the hypothesized difference in their preferences. And even those only showed a delta of 10-30% in the time they spent with the toys.
The study should have concluded that most monkeys don't give a shit if a toy has wheels (like a shopping cart, which apparently makes it a "male" toy) or if it's soft, like a plush (which is "female" because boys would never touch a plushy, of course).
Instead, they found that their hypothesis turned out to be correct, after disregarding anything that invalidated their hypothesis.
Where did I get this study from? From social media, of course. Where a bunch of meat heads "proved" that all women genetically want to be tradwives and trans people don't exist or some shit.
Fuck everything about this.
