  • Thought this was another German post and read that as "Arsch Wizard" (ass wizard)

    What are some "toy programs" you've created?

  • A "full update script" so I don't forget a package manager. It should probably be an alias but whatever, I run the script

  • If they're well-received, I would say see if the students/staff naturally come to explore or suggest other options

    Some projects still need time to mature and overplaying your hand can reverse some of that goodwill (which is more FOSS acceptance than I ever saw in my school days)

  • What's the difference?

  • That's pretty cool if that means a change in diet can be a viable treatment

  • YSK: You can continue to access most subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle

  • Always forget printers exist but can't say I'm surprised. Added this to the list of exceptions and made the title more accurate

  • Any specific service you've seen doing this?

    I've not experimented as much with cloud providers or non-American companies so not yet sure if this is a byproduct of industry practice, market pressures on public companies or legal requirements and counter examples could help

    I should also point out the good: many of them (like Netflix) are very open about how cancelation works once one goes to that section of their site

  • That's basically torture

  • What is her job?

    TABLES!!

  • Why do Americans want to know the month first and the day second?

  • Linguistics

    In UK English, it's considered proper to write "the 6th of March" as "6 March" and sometimes read as "6th March" which can be jarring to Americans as their shorthand is "March 6th" and when "6(th) March" is encountered in written form, it's expanded to the full "6th of March" when spoken

    That doesn't mean this won't be yet another feature American English absorbs from UK English but right now flipping them in speech requires a few extra syllables and people are lazy

  • Unfortunately, sometimes that's all it takes, especially when not diluted by opposing viewpoints, but let me--without any knowledge of the specific contents--take a crack at countering the negativity bias of those narratives:

    • 30% of the global energy generation comes from renewable now

    • Social media is bringing the demand for better public transit to a fever pitch

    • Trump 1 has a lot of news sources careful to investigate claims before platforming whatever a US president says because "who would abuse that power?" (anecdotal and European bias here but many of these outlets are accessible online for free)

    • America may finally be joining the modern world with HSR between Canada HSR, that California project and the one connecting LA to Vegas (some rumblings about importing the Shinkansen to connect the Texas Triangle, too)

    If these sound relevant to what you're used to seeing, I'd recommend asking yourself if any of the communities can acknowledge improvement, in other words: if you're following a (hypothetical) community called "Don't Kick Puppies" because who wouldn't support that cause, well not only did you just sign up for a stream of puppy kicking content but one moderated by somebody invested in convincing people the issue is a pressing concern regardless of what the data indicate

  • "I have a good life[...] The world is so terrible" screams "I engage with social media toxic to my mental health" to me but my context of your existence is 3 sentences so...

    Take that as advice or criticism but the world has never been perfect and certainly will never be as close to perfect as the funnel of negativity online echo chambers and recommendation algos can be
