  • Hindsight is 20/20

  • It depends on the subject and the style of the test, imo. If it's conceptual, then yeah that's probably enough. If there's problems to be worked out, then it helps to some practice problems imo.

  • YSK What are you eating

    Jump

  • The idea is you process the food yourself via cooking it at home versus the food being processed at a factory and subjected to the engineering described in the original post: addition of preservatives, excess salt and sugar, etc.

  • YSK What are you eating

    Jump

  • Gotta stick as much as possible to minimally-processed food when shopping. As a general rule, nearly anything you make yourself is going to be healthier than the processed version sold in the store.

  • ceo at posthog

    Now that's a deep cut. I haven't heard the posthog meme in forever.

  • What is Charlie Kirk's legacy

    Jump

  • I think, in the long run, Kirk's legacy will be his assassination and it's contribution to the season of assassination now unfolding. (The two failed Trump assassinations, the UnitedHealth assassination, and now Kirk).

    Beyond that, he was an agitator and a grifter. I have the same empathy towards him and the people around him as he had towards school shooting survivors, Palestinians, and etc. It's what he would have wanted.

  • i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies.

    Jump

  • Meh, the advertisers are the ally, not the other way around. Still, a good point.

  • I'm in a similar situation, though I've already got a dual boot set up so it's just a matter of only using Windows when I just absolutely have to.

    Earlier today, I tried to zip a directory on Windows 11 with the context menu, and it wouldn't do it! It's a feature that's been in Windows forever and is even in Ubuntu, but somehow over at Microsoft they've managed to break it. Incredible.

  • are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

    Jump

  • Little of A, little of B. For the most part I'm allowed on Reddit and still even use it occasionally (gasp!), but occasionally I run into a sub I'm banned from without any reason given. I must have engaged in wrongthink or posted in a no-no sub or something, because often they're subs where I have little to no activity in the first place. Unfortunately, there's no way to get a list of all the subs you're banned from, so I don't know if it's just a few wackos or an actually significant chunk of the sight.

  • "I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

  • Stuck in the Timiddle With You

    Jump

  • Yeah, the actual reason was that he hit the rock and didn't praise God enough when he did it. Or something like that. It's been awhile since I've been in a church.

  • Stuck in the Timiddle With You

    Jump

  • Reminds of that part in the Bible where Moses strikes the rock and the water comes out and Moses is just too dang modest about the water, so God doesn't let him into the promise land.

  • Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind?

    Jump

  • I have thought about emigrating after I get my bachelor's, but I don't think I will.

    My family has been here for generations. Why should I have to leave when the reactionaries are the ones that suck? Besides, where would I go? Ultimately, nowhere can guarantee safety from the rise of authoritarianism and climate change.

    Canada and Scandinavia will probably weather climate change alright, but they'll have instability on their doorstep, especially if mass migration becomes a thing. Iceland? New Zealand? Switzerland? Probably all decent choices, to be honest.

    I could also become a mountain man out a remote northern wilderness, living as self-sufficiently as possible while working remotely via satellite internet. Or, I could stay where I am and try and do as much good as possible, whatever that looks like.

  • Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this

    Jump

  • Five, but I want the 0.9mm and not the 0.7.

  • Discord going public. Plz help a future refugee.

    Jump

  • The main benefit I remember from jumping to Discord from IRC back in the day was the ability to easily see past messages. That said, I'm not sure if that's a problem anymore on IRC since I haven't used it in ages. Even then, I don't think it would be too terribly difficult to whip up a self-hostable fediverse competitor to Discord. It would essentially be IRC++.

    It's probably more of a critical mass issue, though not near the level of Reddit vs Lemmy or Twitter vs Bluesky vs Mastodon. Every Discord server is essentially a walled garden. A Discord server doesn't hold much advantage over a Slack server, GroupMe, Teams, or IRC. For that reason, it would be a lot easier to move individual communities over.

  • Between this and not feeding the TSA police dogs, we're really approaching cartoonish levels of evil from the regime.

  • Why is my entire feed in this Lemmy server nothing but American politics and Reddit bashing

    Jump

  • Check your subs.

    Jump

  • It probably would've worked, too, especially if he could've put things off until Trump's return to power.

  • How do you write a lengthy, informative comment/post?

    Jump

  • Look into technical writing. I took it in college but I'm sure you can find free resources online about it. In short, good technical writing is:

    • accurate
    • concise
    • clear
    • usable
    • readable

    Of course, that's easier said than done. It makes sense to make a rough outline of what you want to write before you write it. It's also good to look over what you've written afterwards. If you keep these basic principles in mind while planning, writing, and revising, you can make your writing more effective.
