I’m too lazy to find it now, but one of the tests they tried long before NASA started sending people into space was eating a banana upside down where they figured out the digestive tract can function against gravity.

There was also an encyclopedia brown story about this in which I remember Geese and Ducks rely on gravity to swallow, therefore they wouldn’t be able to eat in space.

Bans and heavy moderation of content.

I’m glad some of the reddit copy communities here like DankMemes died quickly because it was being run by the same loser mods from reddit.

So far I’ve only been banned from I think maybe 2 communities ever. The only one I remember is one of the NCD communities because the lead mod was a dumb dumb.

I don’t really care about complaints of specific instance users because unpopular opinions and comments deserve to be seen, otherwise you create an echo chamber.

So long as there is no brigading, it is much healthier to see everyone’s input.

Also I hope the r/Chodi crowd never finds lemmy lol.

Fedora

OpenSUSE if you want something non American and not directly related to RedHat

A pretty hefty amount of popular mobile games were actually rips of flash games with microtransaction added lol.

I read the title in the same voice as youtube’s “That’s how the law works.”

The modern web is an insult to the idea of efficiency at practically every level.

You cannot convince me that isolation and sandboxing requires a fat 4Gb slice of RAM for a measly 4 tabs.

Hey to be fair I know several people who do know, but so poorly that they’ll still be defnitley grinding your gears lol.

Define right wing because the last time I used that insult, it was against users spamming DNC propaganda lol

Ted Ts’o being awoken by the “next gen fs” devs screaming outside his house

“Ay you got that ed25519?”

Very critical. GNOME and KDE have two very different UX paradigms.

Usually people used to Windows opt for KDE, and Mac or older Ubuntu users opt for GNOME.

The thing is though, a golden standard DE can easily be setup to act as both. XFCE is so customizable that I’ve seen both DE types setup as UNIX like or Windows like workflow.

I’m not sure if KDE or GNOME can do the same because I’m pretty sure they focus on a target audience.

What are your issues with KDE exactly? I always hated GNOME’s lack of standard window buttons and handling multiple windows in a Mac like fashion. Also the app menu which gives me flashbacks of ChromeOS.

I tried protonmail not for the privacy purpose but just to have a normal web email client.

After wasting an hour before finding out you can’t disable the “sent from protonmail” footer without manually deleting it in each draft you make, I said screw it and deployed my own email server with stalwart lol.

It’s receive only because outgoing SMTP is a pain to make reliable these days and my ISP blocks outgoing SMTP anyway, but for everything else I now use Thunderbird.

Been on it permanently for years now. Only complaint is that I found XFS to be better than BTRFS, though most people probably wouldn’t notice.

Only other “complaint” is Fedora doesn’t have a lot of support for embedded arm devices, so you’re on your own if you want an RPM style distro on something like an Orange Pi.

If you want to ruin a concert’s day, change the thermostat a few clicks lol.

Funny thing is you can actually conduct pretty well with just your hand.

Also a good conductor is usually an astoundingly good player of multiple instruments themselves.

It’s kind of like how football (soccer) team managers are retired players that can still play better than the entire stadium wearing loafers and a suit.

Is this sarcasm about git/svn or are you serious?

Knowing full well this would be coming from a FAANG company, a funnier answer would be to replace the switch with the equivalent smarthome switch, and then spend the next 20 minutes explaining their uttery stupid network pathway from your phone, through the cloud, back to your device to turn on a lightbulb.

The superior mountain goat that’s actually a goat:

Stack Overflow was the antithesis of “Just say something wrong on the internet so that someone will correct you with the real answer” because none of the negative threads actually answered the question lol.
