Wow, today I learned!
My house often has hobo spiders downstairs and I had always heard the unsupported folk wisdom that they are as dangerous as brown recluses. All the other spiders in my area are harmless, so they were the only one I was afraid of.
Now I know these ones are chill too
Thanks for posting this - what a relief!
The results are in. You’re HIV Al-Adeen
I recall quite liking the parody film, Unfastened Coins
It’s a non-serious exploration of the sinking of the Titanic, told in an over the top conspiratorial tone with nonsensical theories and conclusions, similar to Loose Change
It also mentions citizens so presumably they can chase away anyone who doesn’t look like a citizen
I haven’t tried it myself yet, but I’ve had my eye on the Ploopy Mouse for when my current Logitech dies
And they’re almost pointing in the same direction!
I second the Debian recommendation, with one caveat: if ever you need to install software that is not maintained by Debian (I.e. it is installed using a command like make install instead of apt install) then you could run into significant problems.
Debian uses a system (called APT) to manage the logistics of all your apps and libraries. This is wonderful until you add a program using a different method that APT doesn’t know about. In that case you can “end up in dependency hell” where your system can no longer update or install new packages.
Advanced users can work around this limitation to install things safely, but for a user just starting out I suggest to only ever install packages that exist in the Debian repositories (that is, can be installed with APT or one of its various frontends). This can mean the programs are a little outdated or not available.
Debian has a document that explains this in greater detail, which I suggest every Debian user reads: Don’t Break Debian
Beware, if your device is the Verizon version then the answer is that most likely there is absolutely nothing you can do. Never buy the Verizon version because they lock them down and throw away the key
Why is 12 afraid of 10?
Because 10 was in the middle of 9/11!
Also Dick, as in Philip K. Dick. In German Dick = thick = fat
I’m rooting for you! 🖤
I thought that was a glory hole at first and you are the worst neighbor
From what I understand, the mere exposure to slurs reduces one’s sensitivity to prejudice. That is to say, simply hearing a joke or story with a slur makes one more racist/homophobic/etc, at least for a brief time.
The effect was not observed with other explicit language; only slurs.
If that is the case, then it causes harm even in cases where, as you put it, it is “IRONIC or DARK HUMOR context and not meant to harm.”
Personally, I am based in the United States and while I am not usually the subject of slurs, I generally do not prefer them, if for no other reason than to show support for others who are targeted.
Whether it is tolerated varies by instance and community. As a general rule I’d guess it depends on whether the moderator believes your intent is to cause harm. If it is intended to be harmless then it is likely permitted. However, such language would be perceived very poorly - that is how racists talk, after all.
I, for one, would likely down vote it. On Lemmy, many communities are trans safe spaces so those kinds of slurs are not tolerated and will very quickly lead to a ban. Any use of the N-word for pretty much any reason, other than, maybe, quoting rap lyrics, would result in a ban in almost any community of American culture
It depends whether they want to vote for my team

I recall a fan theory that the Rugrats cartoon was actually a figment of one of the character’s imagination as their mind unraveled following off-screen traumatic events.
Basically the writer took it as a challenge to explain a children’s cartoon show in the edgiest way possible
It feels just like a regular phone to me. If I handed someone my phone they wouldn’t know it was GrapheneOS. The only thing they would fund weird is my launcher (KISS, which is certainly not for everyone) but that was something I installed myself.
One pain point is that my banking apps didn’t work out of the box. That was solved by checking an unassuming box in the individual app settings. For some banks it might still not work (mostly for countries that have security key devices, I believe).
I don’t have the adaptive battery charge feature that Pixels normally have, where it slows charging in certain conditions, to improve battery longevity. GrapheneOS’s version of this is just a simple option to stop charging at 80%.
Probably my camera is less good that stock Pixel, but I can’t tell. It seems fine to me
My high horse
