Bad nutrition both in the comments and the FDA. :-\

Cursive is so bad I would choose Comic Sans over cursive any day. 🀣

I know what cursive was for, I was there. Writing something hypothetically faster has no value when the thing written is too illegible to read, which cursive virtually always is. The fact that block writing probably is a little slower to write is exactly what makes it more consistently readable.

I say, "Just search it." Not interested in being free advertising for Google.

Or maybe cursive just sucks and needs to go away, while all the rest of us choose to value knowledge by learning things that are worth learning.

As soon as my school said cursive was no longer mandatory, I immediately stopped using it. Garbage, pure garbage. I've had a job that involved coming into contact with a lot of papers where people are still choosing to write in cursive, and it is consistently the most unreadable spaghetti I have had the misfortune to look at.

By all means find ways to transcribe old works written in cursive - into print, but stop trying to revive this shitty writing style, it deserves to die.

Sounds a lot like the conservatives who flipped from denying climate science to saying it's too late to do anything about global warming.

No, the urgency of the situation calls for all of us to do our part now. In this case even if it ends up not being enough, every effort will 1) set the stage for preventing future pandemics, and 2) give every person who makes the switch their own best chance of survival.

Wireguard, I find it both simpler and easier to use than OpenVPN.

dd. No other iso writing utility has worked as consistently, even if my usb devices would gain weird glitches after using it.

Believe it or not I am a person who goes out of their way to avoid using the terminal, so this is very much vouching for the software itself rather than the ux it's based on.

I ~~might~~ have to rewatch Edgerunners soon.

My current phone lacks a headphone jack and I hate it. It would be okay if it was replaced with two usb c ports, but there's only one which means I either choose between headphones or charging, or I must use an adapter. Or wireless, but I don't want yet another fucking battery to charge.

I think I got this from lemmy?

There's a world of difference between default, but optional, immutability, that can be freely augmented with admin privileges and a bit of learning; and a full on lockdown that's tantamount to DRM that requires a person to make unsupported and security-compromising modifications to their entire system to bypass.

Also "the future of..." anything reeks of cult of inevitable progress. Things move and branch multidimensionally, and trying to shoehorn all systems into being the same is just pathological.

 

Hypothetically it would make the concept of "voting with your wallet" a real possibility. The biggest flaw I can see is that records of costs would likely see much more fraud, which would require more monitoring and enforcement.

 

A lot of people accuse vegan communities of being echochambers. There's good reason for vegan communities to be insular, if for no other reason than because there are so few of us.

But I want this to be a space where everyone feels comfortable to ask questions and have discussions. It's my hope to make a space where these contentious issues can be talked about in civil and fair ways.
