Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.English51·9 days agoFor me it is no harder to read, it’s more like people sprinkling in Shakespearean English to their normal speech, it just comes off as either being pretentious, or random xd
Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamberEnglish1·10 days agodo you know the proportion of people making those tools? Like how many people could make tools, and work a technically skilled trade, compared to those who didn’t. Also, if you have a very narrow set of things you need to make, it doesn’t really do a whole lot more inherently. To see this before computers computers, just look at cars. Once they became mainstream you started to see that most people had no clue how they worked, and no interest in knowing.
My grandmother’s generation of my family were largely farmers. Like mostly born between 1910 and 1923. They knew how to make, and fix, tools, fences, etc. However, once they got away from this specific knowledge, that they grew up with, they were completely disinterested, and were suspicious of people who had broader knowledge sets. They also thought learning from reading was pointless, as they never were interested in reading, so they developed their reading skills to be just enough to get by, and became intensely frustrated when they ran into an issue, on the farm, they hadn’t before, and needed to read the manual for whatever piece of equipment it was. They also did this thing, where they would be doing something, like repairing/installing/expanding their irrigation system, but they didn’t have a fundamental understanding of why it worked. Just that you did these things, in this way, and it would work. They also didn’t care why it worked, just that it did.
Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Tennessee district bans doctor’s notes to exempt kids from schoolEnglish2·12 days agoIt isn’t unique at all actually. Throughout my years of work I have worked for, or come across, many employers who do this.
Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•The Age-Checked Internet Has ArrivedEnglish2·12 days agoThere is a long history of proposed bills, and other legal maneuvers, to require ID for things like age verification, and other purposes, from around the world, dating back to the 90s. When COPPA was in the proposal state there was tons of discussion about ID requirements, it was ultimately struck down, but the conversation was being had.
I can remember this being discussed on CSPAN back when I was in high school, in the 90s.
Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who mandated that all schools teach the Bible, was caught watching porn in his officeEnglish82·12 days agoThis is an article about a man who spends his professional life, and position of power within the education system, to force his religion onto the public. This is where you should expect criticisms of his religion.
Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who mandated that all schools teach the Bible, was caught watching porn in his officeEnglish52·12 days agoCriticizing the scriptures of people who are imposing their beliefs on others is being an edge lord?
Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.English6·14 days agoThat is a whole different issue than what was said by the previous person, who said the idea behind believe women is for authority figures to take their allegations seriously and do their jobs properly, and investigate the claims. It was not mocking as, in the context of what the previous poster said, and not the expanded issues of the system beyond the scope of this, it would take something like psychic knowledge, or some impractical expectation of humanity. They said doing their job impartially, and impartially is the important word here, as everything you brought up is a result of not doing their job impartially, and thus, not correctly.
Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.English20·14 days agoWhat way is better than investigating allegations impartially? Do you know of something better that wouldn’t require someone to be psychic, or require everyone coming to some nigh impossible position where no one lies?
Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.worksto Cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works•Trump AI plan pushes critical infrastructure to use AI for cyber defense | CyberScoopEnglish3·15 days agoOne of the first things he got rid of was a specialized intelligence unit that was dedicated to studying, and strategizing opposition to, Chinese cyber warfare. This has stood out to me since it happened. We have these for pretty much every country that is an active threat source, but he chops the one for China, and it is like at, or near, the top of his hit list. Seemed weird to me. I looked into who ran it, to see if they had openly clashed with Trump, but it didn’t seem so, though there was little information on the people involved in it, as I expected.
roughly 2200 miles, and no
Farthest away I have ever lived from where I was born? About 5500 miles. Again, neither were home. Don’t know if I have a place that is really a home no matter where I am, because I have moved around a lot in my life.

Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.worksto News@lemmy.world•HOA fines man over handing out water in heatEnglish11·28 days agoThis is straight up not true in many places. Where I live they have a long list of things you can’t have in your yard, or in your yard for extended periods of time. They have a list of rules for the flora, maintenance, etc.
The only time your assumption is true is the inside of the house. They can’t do much there until it is a fire hazard, bio hazard, etc. , but that level of hoarding stuff is not common, and even then, there are limits to it before the city intervenes

Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.workstoworldnews@sh.itjust.works•Houthi rebels launch deadly attack on Red Sea cargo ship - 4 KilledEnglish3·29 days agoThis is exactly what happened. They are paying close attention to where these ships go, what they haul, who own them, etc. Now that it is known it is dangerous to be a shipping vessel going to Israel these companies are going to do what they can to obfuscate shipping to Israel in response. So on the surface it will look like they hit a ship with cargo for elsewhere, but they are actually part of a fleet moving cargo into Israel.
