  • For now, I have just saved it in my clipboard application, so I copy-paste.
    When it goes out of history, I just open a file, where I have saved it and copy from there. So it’s pretty crude.

    I was hoping that either the KDE Social web interface would add a “Signature” feature or I would pick some Lemmy application that would allow that, but for now it’s just this.

    Perhaps, if I feel like it’s being too frequent, I may set a compose key for it.

  • Not every. The quick, very-low effort ones, I just leave.

    Why:
    I saw another post with “Anti Commercial AI License”, then wen on to read the license and went, “Neat!”.

    • It makes it easier for anyone to decide what to do if they want to use my comment/post (in cases where it actually has something useful)
    • It makes life just a bit harder for people data-mining for AI
      • That way, some data entry worker will probably ask for a raise and probably even get it and maybe some entrepreneur going “AI everywhere!” will think twice.
      • Or there will be a chatbot spouting “Anti Commercial AI License” or “CC By-NC-SA” in their answer text, which would be hilarious.

  • LEAN from the web:

    After each iteration, project managers discuss bottlenecks, identify waste and develop a plan to eliminate it.

    1st iteration:

    Project Manager A: Requiring approval of multiple Project Managers for the same thing is causing a bottleneck. So is having to wait for a specific manager for a specific topic.

    Resolution: Let all managers approve everything and need only a single manager’s approval.

    2nd iteration:

    Project Manager B: There are too many redundant managers. It’s a waste of resources.

    Resolution: Get rid of all mangers but one. Actually, let the engineers manage themselves.

    3rd iteration:

    Consensus: LEAN development is a scam though


  • … Except when it doesn’t.
    I use Gnome at work, on an older (supposedly stable) version of RedHat and there are a few ways it breaks, but when it does, it Breaks Bad. I would be fine with said breakages if it were not trying to claim focussing on having lesser bugs and in turn reducing customisability to such low levels that changing stuff like animation speed (which, by default is set to productivity destroying speeds), is not possible from the default repos.

    KDE and related applications are much more tolerable and when I find a bug I tend to be happy to report.

  • I just went “Shiit! Am I sitting on potential system breakage?” (because I don’t remember doing any such intervention)
    But turns out it was just a conflicts with change.

    From what I know, pacman straight-up asks you what you want, in these cases. Sure, it’s technically manual intervention, but for me, who scans over updated packages every-time, this is considered standard procedure.

    Manual intervention is when GRUB doesn’t install properly using the suggested command and you have to learn where your distro places the boot image and configure stuff accordingly.

    Also, I don’t have JDK so…

    Set a key as a modifier key and program the character provider function in your text editor to to give the corresponding capital letter of whatever key is pressed, in case the modifier key is down.
    Even better, you can use the same modifier key with number keys and other symbol keys to give an alternative symbol, which you could also indicate on the keyboard.
    Let’s call this the Shif… oh wait, what year is this?




  • What I am putting up there, is that, stopping meat is not the problem.
    The problem arises with using the veganism buzzword, which will make people think that paying those who advertise vegan stuff would make anything better.

    It would most definitely make it worse than whole vegetarian (which includes putting up with the insects and worms that come during farming) and might even end up being as much of a burden as the meat industry.
    People will think they are doing better, while not actually doing better, which is worse than the status quo.



  • Veganism requires vastly less land and water resources

    This too can cause misinformation.

    Supporting a vegetarian diet requires less land and water resources.

    Veganism requires the overuse of pesticides to the point that it makes the soil become unusable faster and hence needs higher treatment upkeep, essentially causing faster consumption of the limited energy resources we have.

    You are spreading misinformation.

    You were correct until here, but the land use food calculator will actually only be giving information pertaining to a normal (non-vegan) crop.
