Does it need to be a laptop or could it be a refurbished Mini-Office PC like a Lenovo m710q? Because you could cut that price in half.

So what’s the agreed-upon purpose of up- and down votes on Lemmy? Because I feel like the news of this clusterfuck of a bad business decision is technews-worthy and doesn’t deserve the downvotes.

Lev! <3 I used to watch his hand drawn video cartoons back in the early days of YouTube - absolute gems! His deadpan narration was the cherry on top

A little out of the blue but I watched an episode of a German cooking show today where strangers are coupled in groups of five for a week and every day one of them has to cook for the rest of them. They then vote who was the best host.

This week was ALL 30-38 year-old straight Dads. Nobody talked about football.

Nobody chestbumped anyone. Nobody was mansplaning anything. Instead, they were all swooning over each others’ cooking skills, making each other cry over how much they love their kids and hugging each other for feeling insecure about their cooking. In other words it was the most realistic and “manly” portrayal of the male reality that I have seen in the media ever.

It’s easy to blame the media and the “culture war” for male alienation but I strongly believe that our perception of ourselves is largely influenced by our peer group’s portrayal in society. In other words: if I feel antagonized, I tend to overreact. If I am being told by Hollywood or social media to “stop being a mansplaning patriarch” I will be imprinted with the very idea to identify as such.

So long story short: non-toxic masculinity needs more representation AND it needs to come from a place of positivity, not judgement or condescension.

This has become one of the major incentives of the scheme for staff; transferring to GendBuntu from a proprietary system means the staff member receives a new computer with a widescreen monitor.

Smart! What I wouldn’t do for new equipment…

Correct

What?

Yes, there you go! Good job, USA!

I agree in principle, but look at the number of interactions. I think there’s a fine line between creating safe spaces for urges and downright promoting and normalizing criminal activity. I don’t think this should be a) this accessible and b) happening without psychiatric supervision. But maybe I’m being too judgemental

I mean, maaaybe if you wanted children and couldn’t have them. But why would it need to be “beautiful and up for anything”?

And you already know they’re gonna autogenerate audio-ads and product placements in these summaries as soon as people start using them.

Thanks, will do!

I saw something similar! Reported it to Google ads and of course they “couldn’t find any ToS violations”

I don’t even know why I’m shocked…

Well, long walk for a short drink of water… Moreover, the point around the anecdotal Cloudflare Developer’s self experiment seems to be “Don’t trust in hearsay” rather than “don’t self experiment”, as the major gripes with the experiment are all related to external lack of trust in the experimenter’s applied scientific methods. I get the point of not overestimating your own ability to think critically in this regard, but I wouldn’t discard self experimentation per se, as it could always lead to further study.
