if they do that we'll never get another good Batman game.

I run krohnkite and klassy, but damn is it a fine default.

what I'm talking about is more that running away isn't actually an option unless you can win the fight already because if you try to run they can just instantly knock you down.

hopefully the combat system is improved so you actually have a chance of at least escaping when fighting more than one enemy

intelligence has nothing to do with empathy or humility, it is a measure of knowledge and problem-solving. lying about the contents of posts and pretending you are justified is not intelligent, even if you add a quote.

it isn't more accurate though, you are lying about where the funding came from. congress only approved the budget for the government, they didn't have a say in who got the money that was being handed out. there is a single right answer and it is to not change the titles of news articles to suit your own opinions. if you want to present your opinion, you do it by making your own post. posting a news article is for sharing the article, not for lying about it's contents to suit the story you want to tell.

I swear this community is as bad as a flat earth one when the government gets brought up. why change the title from the original to imply that congress (other than deciding the federal budget) had anything to do with it? That is at best irresponsible and misleading and at worst actively malicious. Yes government entities do sketchy things, but that does not mean something can't be trusted because a government entity interacted with it.

the public housing part is like one bad decision from a workhouse, but otherwise yeah

the postal system is significantly more efficient

that depends entirely on what they're doing. if it's illegal then whatever the law says to. otherwise, there's nothing you really can do other than try to ensure people won't get caught up in whatever they're doing.

for example, flat earthers are harmful to society because they push an anti-science narrative that makes people reject reality in favor of whatever they want to believe. However, stopping them from saying things would be a violation of their right to free speech (which must be upheld even then because otherwise people could simply label any idea they don't like as harmful and suppress it, leading directly to a dictatorship), so instead we try to make sure people know that the earth is not flat and why.

in much the same way, someone taking advantage of someone else (say a guy leveraging a girl's trauma to make her not leave him, without actually violating the law) often can't be effectively governed without introducing something that could be used to take people's rights away in the name of protection. because of this, we have to try and make sure that people don't fall for it instead.

because the people that are taking advantage of people won't stop, so you need to make the people being taken advantage of less vulnerable.

good point, and it also does have a "recommended for you" category. I honestly think it's a pretty good system so long as you keep in mind that it isn't meant to be what youtube is.

 

Back in 2017, a bug report was created on bugzilla asking for 'Locally Integrated Menus' like the Unity desktop. This was a feature where the menubar of an app was displayed in the titlebar, appearing on hover by default (though you could make it always visible).

Over the next couple years there was some development, but it was mostly in individual window decorations such as "Material Decoration". In 2021, there was a merge request made to finally add LIMs into KDE plasma as an option for titlebars. Unfortunately, due to proximity to the release of plasma 6, reliance on x11, and "a technical disagreement over where it should live" [Guido Iodice, @giodice, 2023 comment under merge request], the merge request has had no changes since August 11, 2021.

Personally, I would love to have this feature as it would save a entire menubar's worth of vertical space on my screen and would allow me to make use of some of the dead space in my titlebars. similar sentiments were expressed throughout the threads under both the bug report and the merge request. many people also talked about giving the option of showing on hover (like unity) or showing always (my preference), and some even suggested making it the default behavior. Do you think this would be a good feature?

 

hypothetically, let's say you were tasked with simplifying the English language. how would you go about doing that, and why?

to start with an easy one, the first thing I would do is eliminate silent letters from all words and make it so no letters share sounds. for example, example would become exampel. then, because x would no longer be around or at least wouldn't have that sound, ekzampel. I would also consider eliminating mulit-letter sounds like ch, and replacing them with single characters (probably the ones that got removed).

 

long story short, fuck company; still want shows. I remember popcorn time being good at one point, is it still good?

 

I use a Linux distro with kde, so I have a lot of customization available. I like trying other distros in VMs, but stuff like windows (no need to copy really kde is similar by default) and Mac is a pain in the ass to use that way. so, I want to know what your os does that you think I should copy using kde's customization. I'm looking for Mac in particular (bc I haven't used it before) but any OS or desktop environment is fair game.

 

spirits, what movie should I watch with my family tonight?

 

I currently use mbin and I like it because I like reddit-style social media, but for stuff from specific people and organizations microblog is sometimes better. I want to use the microblog part more (for example, make a post asking the Vivaldi account if there is any possibility of Vivaldi switching to a Firefox base instead of chromium. also I know it's not that easy no need to discuss that on this thread) but tbh I don't understand microblog stuff at all. in particular I want to know how I'm supposed to use @s and #s, and how I'm meant to interact with it. I know this seems kind of silly but I've never really used microblog-style social media until I got into the fediverse a couple months ago.

edit: to clarify, I am not asking how to use the microblog feature of mbin. I am asking about microblog in general.

 

why is like 30% of the content on Lemmy star trek related? is it just a side effect of the particular communities I'm in or is it an actual platform-wide thing?

 

I am fairly new to programming and for my cs class i need to run individual programs. they don't need to interact with anything else, so i am trying to just run the file I'm currently on but Kate just greys out the option. I really want to avoid using projects if i can because they're just extra effort for no reason when I only need to run a single file. I did try using one, but Kate doesn't have a new project button for some reason and i had some trouble with Cmake.

I'm aware that these are actually pretty basic things, but I can't find anything online that actually explains how to use Kate at all. I would try using something else, but every IDE seems to have this same issue where by default it can't run code and it has no documentation of any kind regarding actually running code, so i'll just stick with the one that came with my distro.

also as a bonus question, why does every IDE seem to require you to configure every single option before it can run code and why do they all seem to discourage doing anything less than making an entire app?
