Plagiarism is a bad thing

Including plagiarising the dictionary

Healthy optimism

To increase humanities control over its environment. The form that takes is a secondary concern

Let’s be real here, it’s the second one

For all intents and purposes it was free word

I haven’t really used word in over half a decade since TeX beats it in every conceivable way.

Wordpad was useful in the sparse few cases where I was forced to open a .doc or .docx and couldn’t be arsed to upload the file to Google docs

I guess it will be missed for that

Not everything that isn’t ublock is automatically bad. Especially if you just want an adblocker and not also all the other stuff it comes with

I love the irony that people nuke your comment

Yup, calling bs on the article, since a pc is both cheaper and easier than a phone. Besides, if you know how to navigate a window and type into a textbox (both required for YouTube) you know how to write a digital form

This article is made up drama

You’re right that I inverted it numerically

Though, that’s a communication thing. White people are a minority worldwide but never referred to as such. I used the standard way to refer to the different races even though that is statistically incorrect in the hope of it being more directly obvious what I meant

He means Apartheid

That one went so far that south Africa is the only country to voluntarily unilateraly give up its nuclear arsenal when a minority risked getting to power

It is getting better though. We are all just facing the issues of our era’s.

Tech keeps going up, we are slowly making progress on climate change, the space race is back on, and superpowers don’t directly fight eachother anymore. Hell, we’ve proven to beat once in a century pandemics in a few years with relatively speaking barely any deaths. Life’s good

Yes, we have squabbles in the middle east and Africa, but that’s par for the course and not an indicator for human development. The only thing that has really gone backwards is that war has been brought back to europe

Holding spacebar pressed used to play the video at half speed, due to pausing and unpausing extremely quickly

Now it plays the video at double speed, meaning that I have to set playback speed manually when I want to watch in slow motion

I can see this being preferable in the long run, but damn if it isn’t annoying in the present

Lemmy really needs a super-upvote system

That’s a remarkably terrible Wikipedia article

Did he edit his comment? The current version doesn’t accuse Altman of any felony

Botanically they are. Culinary they are not.

Some languages split the word “fruit” up in those two cases. In Dutch for example, the botanical definition of fruit translates to “vrucht” whereas the culinary definition translates to “fruit”.

So, a tomato is a “vrucht” but it’s not “fruit”

Correct. That is why I am not switching

Besides, the EU is shown time and time again that it will protect its citizens if the megacorps overstep their boundaries, so the claim that chrome holds too much power is bs

Correct, it matters to me

So, as long as Firefox doesn’t really offer something that in my opinion outways all it’s UX issues, I am not inclined to switch

Looking at my score, appearantly that is offensive though

Thank you
