What I did was to set it to “Away” permanently

But Takaichi managed to avoid the “worst case scenario” by dodging any troop request from the U.S. president.

If it looks stupid but it works, it ain’t stupid.

I don’t think their system architecture is a secret. This kind of stuff is regularly discussed in interviews.

Cool read but I don’t see the link to technology.

Downvote me if you want, but some of their points actually made sense to me. For example:

11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.

In a vacuum / without any additional context, they are right. Society - in general - has grown rather polarised IMO.

The premise of umamusume is that horses from our world get reincarnated as horse girls in the world of umamusume.

Yes, even the male horses.

kernel maintainers are pushing the fix burden onto PostgreSQL

Maybe it isn’t applicable in this context, but didn’t Linus Torvalds send an angry email on an adjacent topic, but regarding the same philosophy?

Found it: we do not break userspace

Disclaimer: I am a noob when it comes to Linux and building operating systems.

Wish granted. All employees - with or without children - will now be treated badly and given no flexibility

“Can you” as in “are you able to” or “should you”?

Anyway, yes on both counts personally. It’s like reviewing resumes with identifiers removed.

Otherwise, one would be judging the content with preconceived bias. IMO it’s a slippery slope to, and belong in the same subset as, so many other identity-related issues in society e.g. tribalism, identity-based politics, discriminition based on identities like race, etc

What’s the alternative for a not-so-wealthy country in the short term?

Literally cockscrews 😩😭

The way I see it, the vast majority of people with pokemons treat them as house pets (e.g. Poketoon: The Slugma-Powered Home). Only a small percentage actually use them in battles. A way smaller percentage actively abuse pokemons (i.e. the villains)

I find that the trick - or at least the idea - isn’t to go out of the way to avoid such political discussions; it is to seek out spaces with some niche interest. Discussions would then naturally gravitate around the topic of interest, and political discussion usually doesn’t make sense in such a space.

An example topic is anime. Most anime are not political in nature, so commenters in ani.social don’t have the chance to go off-topic and discuss politics.

To use an analogy, let’s say you are a picky eater. You are given some food (think soup, salad, etc), but one of its ingredients is something you don’t like. Rather than try to pick out that one ingredient you dislike bit by bit (which can be tedious), how about adding condiments / dressing / etc to the dish? Enough of those and the taste would change, with the newly-added tastes having overpowered the one you dislike.

In terms of implementation, you basically have to curate your feed somehow. On Lemmy, the straightforward way to do so is to subscribe to topics / communities you are interested in, and participate in just those.

Off the top of my head / all-time popular:

• Avatar (the blue alien one)
• Interstellar
• The Dark Knight trilogy
• Lord of the Rings trilogy

To satisfy my inner little boy:

• Ip Man
• Transformers
• Pacific Rim

Animation:

• Frozen
• How to train your dragon trilogy

Yeah I’m a basic bitch
