FYI, subliminal messages, as in “messages that you can’t see but your subconscious will be affected by” are not a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subliminal_stimuli

I remember watching a science show where someone wanted to demonstrate them, blatantly failed, tried again, failed again, called a psychologist to try better, and failed again. At the end the guy excused himself and said that it must surely be working for everyone but him, for some reason. Except no one actually managed to get it working, the guy who invented the concept later admitted he faked the result.

The developers of what? Is this a project to get Linux running on iPhones?

What did XP do? I’ve never heard someone complain about it

Looking at the specs, I would guess it is

You can setup a Ventoy USB stick if you want to try multiple options

WHO DOWNVOTED THIS JESUS CHRIST

Looking at the news I would guess American houses are buit mostly out of loaded firerarms coddled together by zipties. And oversized fridges.

It’s similar in that it has an application launcher at the bottom, a windows-like start menu, and aims to be simple.

Zorin has a modern UI where Mint is more windows-7-ish. They don’t have the same file explorer, settings app, app store, generally the core apps are different.

Look they’re quite different, it’s hard to make a full comparison, just run a Mint .iso in gnome-boxes if you’re curious.

People not having as much time to “decide” to go for bad faith is interesting

I wonder if someone made an actual list of observed differences in behavior IRL and online, with the same discussion as input.

I guess people would tend to simply refuse to interact with the discussion, but they would have the same things to say, right? Like, they don’t have different opinions online and IRL. If you were giving people as much time and “confidentiality” to think and express their thoughts (which are generally seen as good things), it should look similar. Basically I think the online assholes would also be IRL assholes if you let them talk in similar conditions.

Anyways, there are differences, but I don’t see any causes for “don’t ever listen to anything due to this”

Oh, why so? Less likely to be a bot?

I would guess you didn’t live in Gaza, but you still have an idea of what is happening there. Of course if you did live there, it would likely take precedence over what you read about it.

You don’t actually need to take decisions about Gaza, so you could just ignore it. But you will need to take a decision about a cancer you’ve never lived before, and you will need to to use other people’s experiences about it to make that decision.

You are currently living by the “don’t put your fingers in the socket” rule, and you (likely) never tried it. You (likely) don’t understand why, or how bad it would actually be, but you’re following it, and it is a good thing for everyone involved.

Using other people’s expressed experience is absolutely necessary for your everyday life, and you will do it even if you don’t want to. Figuring out exactly how to deal with the mistakes and contradictions and lies gets complicated, and is a fundamental subject in science

I’m also watching the latest 1v1 tournament of Beyond All Reason, double heavy mines are terrifying

Do you actually feel your computer slow down? I would guess your 20 unused tabs would get swapped out and the rest should run relatively fine

It’s a feeling

Kevlar doesn’t stop feelings 🥹

fyi, both of your exemples would fall under wp:fringe

He is discussing a page’s content, not “being in charge” of the page. I actually think it would be a good thing if board members spent more time as “normal” editors, maybe they would be less disconnected from the community

"c'mon I just checked that three lines ago"

There is an organized effort for Fairphone. Luca Weiss here is the Fairphone-employed drivers mainliner. It’s awesome.

(however there is no public deadline on anything afaik)

You can check if your games are compatible on http://protondb.com/

If you have the game as a cd-rom or “just files”, you will have to copy the files inside a windows-compatibility environment. It won’t just start on double-click. Bottles has a pretty UI to create windows environments and run executables in them

They might disinherit you for being disrespectful? That’s insane. Did they threaten you to do that? If the relation is that bad I can understand why you would care. My parents would just think I’m being weird.

I hadn’t thought about a DNA test, but I definitely don’t see how it could help me with my life. If it comes positive, nothing changes. If it comes negative, I don’t see the administration doing anything about it. They won’t even know you passed a test, even if they had procedures for these cases. You or your parents would need to bring up the issue in a legal procedure for the administration to consider it.

What I mean is that if you have issues with your parents or tutors, knowing what they are exactly does not fix the issues by itself (surely there is a better angle to think about it?). I understand that you would think about it, but if you don’t like thinking about it, I think you usually don’t need to invest yourself into it. Like, you can keep the obsessive thought without worrying about it. And that will make it stop over time. I don’t know how much sense this makes, it made sense to me back then :shrug:
