Each and every one of the creatures we descended from, stretching all the way back to the beginning of life on Earth, has survived by killing before being killed. We are the final product of a string of millions of killers.

  • Tips for a new user

  • Hi. I've seen a lot of peeps post images like this. I'm behind the times. What app is that?

  • title bar on linux mint cinammon windows - how to resize?

    Jump

  • Font size did not affect change.

  • title bar on linux mint cinammon windows - how to resize?

    Jump

  • Okay thanks. May try it. Or may juts switch to i3 or xfce. I installed i3 the other day. Took a few hours of playing with it before I became comfortable with it.

  • Earth got an update. What small features have been improved, added or fixed?

    Jump

  • All vegetation is now edible and extremely healthy.

  • What was the best burger you've ever had?

    Jump

  • It was a burger I ate when the chef was going to kill us all.

  • title bar on linux mint cinammon windows - how to resize?

    Jump

  • Tried. No go. It doesn't change with the font size of the title bar.

  • How do I tame my frustration toward my aging parents?

    Jump

  • Treat them how you would wish to be treated when you are old, forgetful, stubborn, deaf, and slower. Getting old can suck. It's angering. It hurts. They are humans with emotions. Don't forget that.

  • What are your favorite Lemmy instances?

    Jump

  • The one that doesn't allow advertisements or rampant bots.

  • The US Air Force wants $5.8 billion to build 1,000 AI-driven unmanned combat aircraft, possibly more, as part of its next generation air dominance initiative

    Jump

  • 6 million dollars apiece is cheap?

  • Reddit users who switched to Lemmy, what is the most annoying thing you have seen about Lemmy users?

    Jump

  • Most annoying for me is calling for or defederating from instances which have diverse points of view. This is inclusivity hypocrisy. Ignore or block what you don't want to hear. Don't speak for me. You may have supporters that think the way you do, but there are multitudes who think differently. It's the antithesis of equity to silence different opinions, no matter how offensive they are to you and/or to those who think like you. Simply block them so you do not have to endure differing, offensive speech [even if you consider it "hate" speech]. What I hate, others may adore. So just block it.

  • What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

    Jump

  • Marketing and advertising. They show a huge, juicy, scrumptous nice quality burger. You go to buy it and it's a cold, limp, tiny, frail nothing burger.

    There used to be a law about false advertising. But it doesn't seem to be enforced anymore. Marketing and advertising can lie straight to your face. Its not right and shouldnt be tolerated.

    And Americans are so complacent about it, they say things like, "It's , what'd you expect?" Instead of demanding what was advertised. It's soul crushing. It's like we've given up.

  • What is your favorite quote of all time?

    Jump

  • I like the last one. Interesting to think about.

  • What is your favorite quote of all time?

    Jump

  • You make choices, but in the end, choices really make you.

  • What's a book you really enjoyed, that you feel like no one else on lemmy has read?

    Jump

  • Florida health officials issue warning about flesh-eating bacteria after 2 dozen cases confirmed

    Jump

  • i read the article. It says 1 in 5 die from it. It's spreading due to warmer water. It thrives where river water and salt/sea water mix. If you have scratches or abrasions, it can enter that way. One person who survived said he will never go into water again.

  • Latest Android Runtime (ART) update led to apps starting 30% faster

    Jump

  • As some said on Slashdot: ART is Asshole Research Transport.

    If you read the book(s), you'll get the reference.

  • What would you do with an extra 1000€ a month?

    Jump

  • So for like 600 months. That's 50 years for a decent house. When 50 years roll around, it'll be far more than that so you'll have to keep saving but you'll never get there.

  • Twitter to hide news headlines from link previews

    Jump

  • I think some news companies are trying to sue him for linking to articles without paying them, which is a strange turn of events given it wasn't too long ago that businesses would paid you to link to their site (that's what Elon says anyway; I'm not in web commerce so I don't know personally how it works.) So, I guess he wants to have people write the news on his site instead?

    I think news companies are going bust?

  • If you could go back in time and watch -- but not change or interact with -- one historical event, what would it be?

  • Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
