Thought this was a biblically accurate lorikeet from the thumbnail

Yeah, coal is decreasing as a share of our domestic usage, but we are still one of the world's biggest coal exporters.

I'm Australian. I'll criticise Australia as much as I want. Both of our major parties have been dragging the chain on fossil fuels for decades. If you think Australia is going to go into that conference without a pro-fossil fuel agenda (at least relative to what is actually needed), then you are deluded.

Labor: no thanks, we'll just dig it all up and ship it overseas with barely any royalties and then do some creative accounting with offsets that we know are bullshit anyway.

That's... Not how genetics works.

I hate how everything about this is makes sense including the fact that if Nazis made a time machine it would just move forward through time at a rate of one day per day.

There's nothing evolutionary about it. Humans have been doing altruism and cooperation for hundreds of thousands of years. It's cultural.

What's this a reference to?

I guess it might have come across as escalating if the dad was homophobic as well as racist...

Nah, he's the arsehole here.

It's true! It's a relatively minor complaint really. Let me pivot: fuck social norms around early starts 😅

Right, but I mean, the platform was originally designed without them in mind, and there's no real reason why every piece of software needs to have every piece of functionality.. I'm can see why they wouldn't be prioritising it

I suspect I would love it if groups were in mastodon, but I'm not entirely sure it won't backfire in some horrendous way (this is social media after all)

 

What books or articles have you read recently that fundamentally shifted the way you think about the world, and how you interact with it (work, social, play, whatever)?

 

If you're not middle aged, pick a younger age, IDK

 

I often come across ideas for new communities (sometimes I even have them myself), but I'm not always sure whether they would get traction.

How about a "suggest a community" community, where people can post suggestions, and get feedback on the idea, maybe tweak it a bit to be more useful, and also look for co-moderators?

It could act in parallel to !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Anyone have any ideas for how this could work better? Anyone want to co-moderate one?

 

I've been a linux user for 20 years (mostly on KDE). I just started at a new job, and they gave me a mac. I found out later that I could have got a linux machine instead, which is a bit annoying. Still, I know there are some nice things about a mac, and I figured I'd give it a try for a while.

I'm pretty quick moving around my desktop environment, and I'm finding picking up the mac is not too bad. BUT I use keyboard shortcuts a lot, and they are all every different on a mac. So whenever I switch back and forth between my work machine, I end up stumbling a bunch and wasting my time, and getting annoyed. It's mostly keyboard shortcuts, but the trackpad buttons and scrolling are annoying too.

So, question is: is it possible to regularly use two OSs with wildly different control surfaces, and be comfortable with it? e.g. either MacOS + Linux, or I guess MacOS + Windows? Or will it be annoying forever?

 

When you're reading or listening to verbal material ( e.g. fiction, nonfiction, prose, poetry, lyrics, etc.), what kind of imagery has the most impact?

Imagery in the broad sense (including all senses, not just sight).

"Kind" can be whatever categorisation you can think of, e.g. genre, sense, place, scale, human/non-human, etc.
