You could put them on a fixed awning, but you generally don’t want solar cells flopping around, being vibrated or moving at all if you can help it

Haha, Don’t offer people windows 11 , even in jest. It’s clearly the opposite of “being excellent” to them ( rule 3).
Gotta love mods.

Who is this mythical average user I keep hearing about?
I’ve never had a problem forcing people at work - even those with very limited IT knowledge - to run things from cli in windows.
For years in one place I worked the IT support first line solution was to tell all users to force a gp update from the windows cli. They’d point to a nice little how to guide with screenshots and everything. I don’t know if any of the thousands of people working there were the all important average user either though, probably not.

Plausible, these AI learned from typical human garbage not from actual study.

Primary color mixing charts, aka an excellent way to cause a bayesian to shift their posterior about overlapping circle diagrams.

Communication is a two way street.
Good communicators need to learn to pick up on how they speech lands, and learn how to adapt a little accordingly.
I doubt the internet is a good place to learn that skill. It takes a lot of real world practice, and a lot of people still get it wrong from time to time, way into adulthood.
But you should do whatever you like for yourself. But just try to be sensitive to the audience and prepared to adjust if you start to see reactions that you don’t like.

Sounds like some deliberately obscure concentrations of power.
The fear bit is really problematic though as scared people are not ideal decision makers.

There’s been investment bubbles, overshooting and disingenuous rent seeking in many economies before. It was temporarily reduced in many western economies by various FDR type policies in the '30s-'60s. The '70s and '80s were just the banks wresting back their freedom to implement market “rationality”. And we get the benefits ever since.
People do keep voting for it though so it is hard to argue they’re not satisfied. Even the ones who protest vote don’t seem to see the “investment” markets as any part of the problem; or as important at all. That’s either some pretty effective demagoguery, or some dumb fucking electorate.

Those kids are very bad people, at least one of them has links to the MS-13 gang.
And the others had shared sensitive pokemon information with that one. biggest threat to national security.

I read somewhere that they have some rule like you can’t put “not food” inside “food”.
Probably a reasonable rule in many cases. Maybe they should put a tiny hole in it and argue that the “shell” is mathematically a single plane with the ‘inside’ being between the inner and outer face.

Back in the time after 9:11 they (the red coloured torys) passed some draconian anti-terror laws in the UK (well at least in England and Wales, I’m not so sure about Scotland and Norniron), basically no habeas corpus if the word “terrorism” is involved.
They were exactly worried that judges might put on a ‘reasonable person’ wig, or do something even more damaging to the free world like ask to see some evidence.

I think Jewish people were effectively invited into that position across much of Europe, back when the Catholic church forbade usury but the people still wanted banks.
Unfortunately for many Jewish people , some of their number became a major driving force for capitalism.

After 1979 really, but more realistically the rot set in a bit earlier in the 70s when the banks were given the power to start cannibalising the economy and got away with blaming the damage on trade unions and OPEC.
Pretty similar timeline for US, i think more or less after JFK when they started destroying FDR legacy.

- Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars? 1 month ago:
Yes I think i tended towards the latter view because I just don’t see much real world action or organising going on here.
But some of the stuff posted does seem a bit sus - it’s almost a caricature. Even quite radical people usually have some ability to reason or engage in moderate discussion.
I guess it doesn’t cost law enforcement much to keep an eye on this, and I’m sure lots of the terms used will flag in their webcrawlers and such.
A few spooks and a few bots can probably do quite a lot across a lot of different social media so really not hard for them to have some presence here for minimal effort.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy attempting to radicalise people to enforce class wars? 1 month ago:
There’s a fair history of security services acting as agents provocateur infiltrating socialist and trade union movements to split them apart get evidence or ‘intel’ to imprison leaders. Certainly in the UK that was a part of their union busting tactics. So it is something to be aware of.
I’m not sure that is what is happening on here though. I’m also not sure if that’s what OP was referring to.

I don’t post actual threads, but my most downvoted comment was this one that I’m quite proud of:
Debian is a joke, it is so far out of date it is unusable for anything except cave-painting or maybe a stone circle.
Ubuntu is way better.
So yeah, I’d recommend OP baits linuxmemes. I think it has more users, more touchy, less sense of humour. But you’re also less likely to get your post banned in a memes forum.

Did you try asking “Will you please downvote this?” in “nostupidquestions”.
I don’t think it’ll beat ragebait though.
