I keep reading theses kinds of assessments and no one seems to acknowledge that opening a book and reading it is actually kinda hard. Reading long form is incredibly high effort.

I am not really versed in federation. I just use beehaw and I treat it like a standalone website.

Even though I am writing about Emacs, I am not really that technical. I didn’t even know these groups existed since they’re not listed here. I just kinda use the website :/

Sure. But company policy and failure to regulate employees are different things. They are both bad but they are not the same.

Although it seems likely that Crunchyroll uses an LLM for translation in some way, I wouldn’t call that “confirmed” since that might be the result of an individual translator using it.

Is that the best you can do? Put some effort into it.

I did find my wife in there. Our son is almost 2.

Yeah… I used to date plus size women exclusively. Now I am married to one. I had to go throught lots of skinny women to find what I wanted.

If there was an Emacs group on this website I would certainly post there instead. In any case, Emacs is a well-known FOSS project, and Org-Roam is very popular among Emacs user.

Org-roam is “a plain-text personal knowledge management system” for Emacs inspired by Roam Research.

“Romantic love” is a catch-all term for positive sentiments towards an object that go above a certain threshold of normality. As such, it is multiple and badly defined. “Love” is language saying “I don’t know, you figure it out!”.

I wrote this some time ago. It is rather personal, but maybe some readers will find this useful.

I use Linux currently and have for many years. It is a wonderful operating system. However, if you wish to switch to Linux, it is in your best interest to understand that enthusiasts will oversell whatever they love, and they will do so without even noticing it.

Gaming on Linux is impressive and it’s getting better every day, but it is still not the same as Windows.

Depending on the games you wish to play, you may feel frustrated at times. Also, barely any peripherals have official Linux support on a software level. I’m talking about fancy keyboards, mice, gamepads, cameras, microphones, headphones, and all kinds of RGB contraptions.

If something doesn’t work, the next recommended steps can range from installing a complicated third-party interface to essentially programming your own. If I read the word “kernel” as part of a solution, chances are that I’m just buying something else instead.

People also forget that even supported games sometimes malfunction, and all tips and fixes will assume you’re running Windows. Besides, not every game is on Steam, and even when they are, some may require the use of external software to install and manage mods. So using Linux for games is awesome, but significantly less so if you are not an advanced user and want more than the defaults for your games.

When it comes to work, you might find yourself restricted to LibreOffice or Microsoft Office Online. It is possible to run Office via Wine, but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea (more on that here). A bit off-topic, but I’ve been trying to purchase a legit license for local Microsoft Office and I don’t think they even sell it anymore. They’re completely focused on the cloud version.

I don’t know what you mean. That is just common practice in websites like this because of copyright law. If the law changes, the practice will probably change as well.

I have a habit of checking out reviews on Goodreads. I don’t take it too seriously, but the UI is less busy than Amazon and reviews are often a little more chaotic, random, and personal. I like that. I use it to track the books I read, which aren’t many but it’s simple enough. From my own sample, Goodreads rarely form my decision on which books to buy, but it’s up there in my mental algorithm mixed with a bunch of other stuff.

Copy pasting entire articles is discouraged. It is preferable to share a link to an archive website such as this: https://archive.is/5UPAI

That is pointed criticism and correct on most counts. I wonder if irony is a productive attitude for that kind of criticism. Personally, I feel that irony is remarkable at reassuring those who already agree with the points being made. I don’t think it is effective at producing change. Not that I think changing people is the goal of the article. I recently published an article of my own that touches on those issues. It was discussed here: https://beehaw.org/post/11732833.

I identify the most with that bit:

4. That is, anything not declared in the post is something O.P. does not care about/is complicit with. Every expression of concern is in fact an expression of unconcern about something else; each of them merits a rebuke and you have been appointed (by yourself, but nevermind) to deliver it. Everyone but you is indifferent to the plight of the greater sage grouse and needs to be reminded of it.
