Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•What are you pirating for christmas?
4·1 day agoThis year, I don’t have a clear list. It’ll probably involve some random music. Maybe I’ll finally get Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2.
Well, education would give us a better sense of what “common sense” needs to mean.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it a bad idea to learn Russian because of everything?
11·1 day agoI learned Russian when I was in school - after having family who left during the pograms. Learning the Russian language, or any language, should not be about politics. You don’t learn the language to embrace government policies, you do it in order to better understand the artists and the art they created. I don’t have my Russian keyboard, so you’ll forgive me - but there are works which work best when untranslated and understanding some context. “We” by Zamyatin, “Master & Margarita” by Bulgakov, a bunch of Tolstoy’s works, “Diary of a Madman” by Gogol, “Roadside Picnic” by the Strugatsky brothers, and movies like Solaris and Stalker. Not to mention the poetry.
Learn the language for the art. If it does make you political at all, it’ll make you even more opposed to the Chekist in charge.
Absolutely! But I admit that I like the *bin softwares (K & M) because it’s the only one I’ve seen that really seamlessly integrates multiple parts of the Fediverse, and the new combined view makes it even smoother now.
I am an Mbin user. I love it.
I should know what this is from. Can anyone remind me?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Judging by how many users on the internet telling Americans to "just move to another country lolz", people must think immigration laws are very lax or something... (it's not)
10·2 days agoNot only the laws and the costs, there’s also the fact that I just don’t want to change the way I live. There’s nowhere on Earth that has the things I have here, and I own land (admittedly only .25 acres, but still).

Science Memes@mander.xyz•There are two types of scientists: surgeons and cowboys.
26·2 days agoCowboys get results. Not always good or correct results, but by gosh they get a result.
To the vast majority of the population, those two things are the same. Science is what’s published and what the lawmakers and journalists see. If most of that is flawed, Science is flawed. if Science is flawed, then the next best thing is “common sense”.
90% of the Internet is made up of lurking.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Sooo... This is happening on Imgur
128·4 days agoWe need to take back the Thorn. Too many things are written as Ye in fake middle English (or fake early modern) which should be written with the thorn!

Well, you might get higher wages. Or the airline might either go under, or just fire everyone in the union thanks to at will employment.

Technology@lemmy.world•Valve: HDMI Forum Continues to Block HDMI 2.1 for Linux
1·5 days agoIf I can do it while keeping Cinnamon, and my current desktop, I might.
Cool The last console I thought had a valid economic model was the 3DO.

1·5 days agoOh. No, my monitors should always be at 60Hz now. They’re both DC powered (internal + USB).






Then what is it?
