How does the government treat work done on public places by the people? Because, at least where I live, the law forbids citizens of doing public works - so, if the community came together to build a park, the govt can decide to demolish it because “it wasn’t planned properly”. Of course, proper resistance to that usually ends with citizen victory, it really puts a damper on people when the law is against you.

Paying for education that “the market” wants us to have so they can have a larger pool of skilled workers, leading to lower salaries

I’m shocked, SHOCKED!!

That Meta wasn’t doing that already

I think the only time I cat-called women was when I was 10yo while playing football (soccer) in the neighborhood. The girls (~15yo I’d guess) looked back and I went red as a tomato in embarrassment.

Fast forward some years later, when I had long hairs, as I was arriving at school, someone horned at me and cat-called me. I turned around the the pair of idiots saw that I was a dude. They didn’t speed up and I felt that, were I smaller or had a more meek outlook, they would call me gay, sissy, etc, before moving on.

So, it feels like cat calling is a power play against the target.

I do wish people could be honest about what they think, but in a civilized manner. I wish I could just tell a girl or woman I find her pretty without coming off as a creep, weirdo or flirty.

That’s a language rule, tho

After digging through the codebase, Kamila traced the freeze back to the way E16 handled overly long file names. When a window title was too long and needed to be truncated, the algorithm responsible for doing so had no iteration limit. So it would spin indefinitely, locking up the desktop entirely.

Ah, no wonder it went unfixed for so long, most people would just rename stuff and carry on

Telling my family the passwords for my bank account. Should be pretty obvious why I haven’t said it yet

The majority that defend homeschooling do so on pure ideological grounds. They accuse schools of indoctrinating kids, but they want to personally ensure their kids are indoctrinated the way they (the parents) deem correct. “Sex is evil! Women should submit to men! <Ethnicity> is pure evil! Never question me!” - these parents should NEVER homeschool their kids.

There are very few situations where homeschooling would be better for the kid over traditional schooling, and those situations are usually remedied with the school getting its shit together and being at least decent.

The school can’t always get better though and can even be harmful to kids, due to bad teachers, bad staff, bad classmates or general precarious conditions, especially if the kid has any sort of special need (autism, down’s syndrome, etc). Changing schools isn’t always an option, whether due to distance or cost of moving back and forth every day, and that’s usually when homeschooling should be done.

Not possible in the “post header”, so to speak, but you can upload several pics in the post body and any comment

Any way to hook old phones to an external screen without wifi? Because that’d make this even better

“Technically ready”, as per the post the dude replied to. It’s “good enough” to fool idiots. For people that care to scratch the surface, the veneer falls off super easy

God isn’t pleased, for TempleOS shall not concede

Lots of stuff. History in general; DIY stuff, mainly with recycling; uncommon programming languages (the stuff that tends to get less than 5% usage on SO developer surveys, such as Nim, Zig, Elixir, LISP, Vlang, FORTH); 3d modelling; astronomy; understanding different cultures (which is kinda an offshoot from history, I guess); drawing; games (video and board); writing fiction

To be fair, the priest did treat some of those verses in the (badly) linked post, with the 1 Corinthians 6:9 and 1 Timothy 1:8-11 ESV explicitly calling “homosexuality” likely due to translation error

I think most of the points he argued are flimsy, because most are “well, actually, if we interpret it like this instead…”. Even the aforementioned translation error is a very weak argument that the original passage didn’t mean some sort of man-on-man action (arsen = man, koites (also the source of coitus) = bed; arsenokoites becoming something like “bed man”).

I’ve seen some christians use Matthew 5 as a “Jesus came to add to what’s in the old testament”

17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

If you want to experiment with PHP+Mysql, you can make an account on InfinityFree and do stuff there. Their free tier lets you have a free domain. As for learning content, I recommend looking for something like “making a blog from scratch with php”^[1] or some such, try to look for “from scratch” wherever possible, as those will avoid cumbersome frameworks and CLI commands (like artisan install blah, which you won’t have access with on InfinityFree)

You can create and edit files within the browser, from their control panel, but you can also set up a program to automatically connect via FTP, so you can code on your computer and the program magically syncs with the domain’s folder

Even if you don’t want to go out of the way with learning php, it can be useful to let you write markdown, the same type we use for posts here, and translate into plain html.

If you don’t feel like you’ll need programming or a database connection, you can go with a Neocities page and write html yourself. Again, the best way to learn will be by searching for “<how to do thing> from scratch”

Something that annoys me immensely is how 99% of the launchers on f-droid are “type on the search bar to find the fucking app”

Personally, I use Fossify Launcher, which is “default android launcher, no bullshit”

Not as bad a bitchute, though that alone isn’t enough to make it “good” or even “ok” regarding content and userbase.

VanilloTV and Glomble might be worth checking out, the latter mainly for the very “weird internet” feel
