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.

  • I see. I switched from emacs to vim years ago and now I've forgotten most of the key chords in emacs. Nevertheless, seems like an awful way to edit files on a small android device. I tried vim for android and it was quite challenging. Not something I want to repeat.

  • My question is regarding Android apps. I thought that was implied by the community name. My apologies for the confusion.

  • This is what I like about the fediverse. I asked a similar question on Reddit a long time ago. Got a snarky comment "it is what it sounds like" and nothing else.

    Thanks for answering.

  • Some perspective would always be nice, or a distance legend. Like, could you see a human from that distance? A football stadium? A banana?

  • No, it isn't PD.

  • I mean, they need to measure where your eyeball lands on the glass when looking straight ahead. This isn't part of the prescription, from what I understand. Usually, a salesperson will do the measuring. In light of this, do you have any further information as to how your father obtained that information and how he provided it to the online store?

  • How do they deal with progressive lenses, like top top is for long distance gradually further down is for closeup like reading?

    I think that is what had prevented me from trying the online stores. Has that been addressed?

  • Hmm. I downloaded Signal and saw that no trackers were detected, which is good. But it appears it doesn't do SMS anymore. I couldn't text anyone who didn't have Signal. So that's s no-go for me.

  • What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

  • How do I find news without using Social Media?

    Jump

  • I'd also discourage just picking news from the center. You'll miss a lot, as understanding the left viewpoint and right viewpoint are important for a holistic picture.
