Maybe people didn't live long enough for skin cancer to make a difference?

Doesn't work for people with connected muscles for pinkies😔

I'm not sure how fantastical your world is but maybe nightglasses rather than sunglasses. simulates natural night vision, could have some interesting side effects if used a lot.

Nah you got it perfect! (Also holy shit I didn't expect to find a volapük learner on Lemmy)

Progressive taxes are a way to make up for the imbalance of poorer people spending a higher proportion of their income on essentials, it's a fundamental of economics. Although I have heard that the tax brackets in Russia are completely flat (not that that makes it any better).

They do something fun with this in the three body problem. It's amazing and makes a ton of sense but in the real world the application will probably be a lot cleaner.

Yeah I got called a narcissist with my worst ex and then just flat out asked if they knew what it meant, I think it was a little telling they didn't actually know (not that I do either lol). It's really hard being with someone who makes you feel loved but doesn't love you and I'm so proud of you for being on the other side of it and being happy!

Nah it makes sense

Yeah, it almost looks like you'd be able to run things faster than natively on windows, which is why I'm suspicious (not that it's a lie just that the numbers lack context). It doesn't say what the numbers represent I think?

Criticism and hate are two different things. I hate windows, I can criticise parts of arch Linux which is so far my favourite OS. Me not liking part of it or the way it works doesn't mean there's another version that is completely perfect and I should just shut up and use that. Also no it doesn't suck, but updating my system and having it break is a problem I should not be having.

But if lots of people use it wrong and break it then maybe it's too obtuse. I broke one of my applications by upgrading packages. The solution? Install the package again, I thought the package manager would take care of stuff like that but if it's meant to be me then I think it's a bad system.

I broke my install by updating it, I get that if you perfectly understand what's going on then it has no bugs but that's really not my experience. A lot of the time something will break and it's easy to say "I should've known it was this so it's my fault" but really if you didn't expect it to work a certain way and it breaks it's not a super stable system.

 

Been playing through baldurs gate 3 recently as I'm sure many of you have been and started to think that githyanki are really similar to the mind flayers. Both see themselves as somewhat independent but have a greater queen they serve, have a fairly utilitarian society to say the least, possess psionic abilities that are very similar to each other and long to make an inter planary empire. Now many of these similarities can be a poetic story of how they never grew or learnt from the oppression they faced, but I think that this theory adds something great to the story as they both have a mysterious origin that is somewhat explained by this, and adds a reason to why the aboleths who know all the past don't know anything about mind flayers.

Will lemmy implement veilid? (www.theregister.com)

Recently cult of the dead cow came out with veilid, a secure decentralised way of sending encrypted information and i think this could be a huge asset to lemmy. Cult of the dead cow even mentions mastadon by name as they say this is the type of application it was designed for. If veilidchat takes off then i really hope the devs will consider it.

 

For me it was Hebrew and it's cool writing system, then ithkuil and how alien it seems. It lead me down a deep rabbithole to where i now make writing systems.
