Humans didn't "happen to this planet." This planet (along with our fantastic if very average star) made us.

Kill the aliens.

Srsly tho, it's not about the tech they have or the 1000x power. Any jamming can be circumvented, and humans would have a much greater motivation to adapt than the aliens would.

I believe there is an ongoing feud among Linux kernel maintainers regarding moving to Rust. I don't know much about it myself, but perhaps that is why OP thought this belonged here.

I'm mostly with you about the negativity being unwelcome here, but I just have to point out: Richard Stallman is a boomer. Boomers literally created Linux from whole cloth.

Ageism is also negativity. Please try to avoid it.

Most "silent" letters have some effect on the pronunciation of the word. They aren't there for no reason.

He wasn't "standing in the road." He was stopped, on his bike, at the intersection waiting for his turn. That is not only the correct thing to do, it is required.

ETA: He was also in his lane, which the cop illegally crossed into making his turn.

When I subscribe to someone's youtube channel through Newpipe, does their subscriber count on youtube go up? Or is subscribing just telling Newpipe to bookmark that content for me, but doesn't tell youtube anything?

The reason I ask is because the subscriber count on youtube could be an underestimate that way.

I mean, if we wanted our best and brightest (and most compassionate) to teach, we would pay them the best salary they could get with their degrees.

Note to good teachers out there (I'm a teacher too): I'm not saying there aren't any! I'm just saying that those doing the hiring can't afford to be terribly picky.

When kids don't trust their parents, there's usually a good reason.

The problem with Bill Maher has nothing to do with his age. He sucks, it's true, but lots of guys exactly the same age as him do not suck.

My instance has downvoting enabled, but I've learned that some other instances do not. Do the vote totals look different to users on different instances? It seems like some users on instances that don't allow downvoting are unaware that it's not the same lemmy-wide. It would be pretty confusing for them to see their vote go down.
