That would be in every thread, from the most pro-communism to the most anti-communism threads.

The elites are lying about the danger! in c/risa@startrek.website

The Federation doesn't have capitalism either (well, again this depends on the writer, but Picard was quite clear about it in one episode).

It's all Starfleet's fault, the Federation has expanded too much and has encircled Borg space for decades. Plus the Borg are good for making a multipolar galaxy, we should support them.

TIL The Katy Freeway in Houston, TX was expanded in 2008 to 26 lanes (one of the widest in the world) and 5 years later had longer peak travel times than before the expansion in c/til@lemmy.world

Where are the bridges? How do you walk from one side to the other?

Oh yeah, right, of course. But how do you even drive from one side to the other?

Is Windows 11 decent yet? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 28 points 2 years ago

A Windows version becomes considered "good" the exact moment a next version is released. No sooner, no later. Those are the rules.

What are some open source games you can recommend for Linux? in c/gaming@beehaw.org

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Neverball seems far less known than the other ones, but it's really good and has tons of levels.

Are there good UIs/tilesets for Nethack these days?

Definitely Neverball. My kids and I spent so many hours in it.

OpenTTD is good, so is TuxKart, but both have better closed-source alternatives. I don't think Neverball does.

Hawaii cannot ban guns on beaches, US judge rules in c/news@lemmy.world

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

As a trans person, would you rather go to a beach where nobody is armed, or to a beach where everybody might be armed?

'Foundation' Is Fixing The Trickiest Thing About the Asimov Books in c/sciencefiction@lemmy.world

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That is in the books too. It's called a "Seldon crisis", where the Foundation has only one possible way forward as means of keeping it close to the original plan.

Would you work for a corporation that you oppose ideologically, if the pay is good? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

It's a trade-off, so it depends on both how good the pay is and how opposed the company is.

I'm currently working for a crypto company, and have worked for other similar ones in the past, and these all tend to be libertarian types which I don't agree with, but they pay well.

On the other hand, a previous employer tried to get Saudi Aramco as a client, and I made it clear that I would not support this. Fortunately those talks didn't come anywhere.

So yes, there's certainly a line.

KDE Connect is the best! Also why isn't the app called KDE Konnekt 🤣 in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

KDE Connect is awesome. I've been using it since it first came out (I think it was a GSoC project) with a variety of phones, and am 100% happy with it.

BTW, about the naming, KDE stopped the K thing around KDE 4, with apps such as Cantor.
