you need to be able to have vacations and save for retirement and do fun things from time to time
ahem actually people only need to exist and survive until they work themselves to death getting tangled in the gears of my spinning jennys
but when is the exact point of “how they were” when 4000 years of erosion has already taken place?
historical conservation isn’t really this cut and dry
sometimes it’s better to restore things, or to do work to prevent them degrading further
if you’re just going to take us back in circles again this discussion is a bit pointless, isn’t it?
if you aren’t refusing to acknowledge they’re ux problems, you’re saying it’s unhelpful to call them what they are, which is obviously nonsense
and again, sane defaults are ux
or i could argue that an issue 90% of people will run into is a higher priority than one 2% of people will run into
or i could argue than the risk of accidentally opening something you didn’t want to is higher than the risk of losing unsaved work
the reason foss sucks when it comes to ux is this attitude of insisting that ux problems are somehow some “other” category of problem, rather than an engineering constraint that needs to be designed around like every other one
case in point, for some reason you’re still refusing to acknowledge that they’re both ux problems. and if you do, your original reply ceases to even make sense.
yet very different
which is why my first words to you were “it is and it isn’t”
binning them into the same category is not helpful
both are caused by people in the foss space not paying enough attention to ux
increased attention to ux could solve both
personally i think categorising all work solely through the lens of severity is unhelpful
Single/double click behavior is a matter of preference.
And defaulting to the preference that most people prefer or are used to is a matter of UX.
Which is why I say they’re both UX decisions.
it is and it isn’t
they’re both bad UX, which FOSS is generally pretty bad at, probably because there’s not as much overlap between people who who are really into FOSS and people who are really into UX
linux-centric communities also tend to be plagued by elitism, which i expect stifles a lot of this kind of thing before proper conversations can take root
It takes a certain amount of energy for water to exist as water, a certain amount of energy for oxygen to exist as oxygen, and a certain amount of energy for hydrogen to exist as hydrogen
The amount of energy it takes for water to keep being water is less than the sum total of the energy it takes for oxygen and hydrogen to keep being themselves.
When you burn hydrogen, it combines with oxygen in the air and makes water. But that requires less energy to exist, so where does the excess energy go? It’s released as heat.
To split water back into hydrogen and oxygen, you have to re-add that same amount of energy again.
Hydrogen as a fuel isn’t so much a source of energy as a store of energy. A battery doesn’t make energy. You charge it with energy so that you can retrieve that energy later. Similarly, a big power plant electrolyses a bunch of water and makes a bunch of hydrogen. Later, you can use that hydrogen in your car without having to be connected to the big power plant that made it.
this is all probably largely wrong and you should ignore it chemistry SUCKS
So we’re actually at the point where you’re throwing out nonsense, but I’m not allowed to tell you that it’s nonsense because that’s changing the topic? Are you a real person?
You just keep asserting that what I’m saying is inaccurate and not expounding. The best you’ve managed so far is “it was a bipartisan” effort, which is so irrelevant I just ignored it the first time you said it because I presumed you were confused. Wow, who knew that two political parties could both be to blame here? A real shocker. I’ll get the news on the phone.
Is the problem here that you don’t understand things like sarcasm or hyperbole? Do I believe that somebody’s run the numbers and come up with a precise figure on how valuable a Palestinian life is? Obviously not, no, but that’s okay because no normal person is going to intuit that I think that from my original comment. (For the avoidance of doubt, that line about getting the news on the phone in the paragraph above was also meant in jest)
I was genuinely going to make a joke last time about how maybe I shouldn’t have said “kicking a puppy”, because it might confuse you given that it’s Palestinians being kicked here and not a literal canine juvenile. Then you unironically go and get yourself muddled on the verb “cheering”. Congratulations.
Similarly, a normal person would understand that writing a puff piece article headline about how great somebody’s past actions are while making no mention of the genocide they’re currently funding is morally bankrupt at best.
Ultimately all we’re left with is that you feel I was just a bit too spicy for your liking when calling out a genocide—a genocide you agree is happening, and that the democratic party is funding. Your sum-total contribution to the conversation thus far has been to play the role of tone police. Thanks for your service, I guess.
So no, I don’t need to “watch my rhetoric” when calling out a genocide. Because it’s a genocide. Maybe you could try some of that adult restraint you mentioned next time you feel the need to interject with something quite so wholly worthless. Thanks.
Yeah, because you expect a certain answer and I’m not giving you that.
I literally just asked what point you were even trying to get across because you weren’t making any sense. It’s not that deep.
Pretending that that’s all they’re doing
Again, what is your stance here? That I should be criticizing everybody more? I’m not going far enough?
But that’s not what you wrote.
I’m sorry I didn’t fill out the bulletpoint list for you. For the avoidance of doubt:
It’s a statement that criticises the democratic party, and by extension Biden, explicitly tied back to the article via the structure of the headline.
The guy kicking the puppy is in Israel.
It’s a metaphor for “doing a bad thing”. Funding a regime attempting genocide is a bad thing.
I know you need my analogy to not work—because it makes it painfully obvious how tone-deaf an article about how great Biden is, written when the most relevant thing he’s done recently is funding a genocide—but it’s very clearly fine.
Why do you need to blame people in the US
If you insist on using your analogy, the US won’t stop cheering on the puppy kicker even after everybody’s asked them to stop.
The people in the US are currently telling them that enough is enough.
They’re telling them that enough is enough while continuing to fund their war and doing absolutely nothing to stop them. Words without actions are cheap. Apparently that’s enough for you, though?
you want to make it seem sick to advance your agenda
my horrific agenda of “genocide is bad, actually”
Why would I need to take a stance here at all?
I think this question might have caused my brain to short circuit. You can’t disagree with somebody unless you disagree with them about something. I cannot for the life of me fathom how you could possibly ever think otherwise.
the presidency is supporting a political partnership during high tensions and made a tough decision
When the thing we’re talking about is continuing to aggressively fund a regime currently attempting a genocide, this is a comically lenient way of phrasing things.
Why is there a need to pivot this with some unhelpful, inaccurate and inflammatory rhetoric?
Pivot from what? What are you talking about? The vast majority of your reply borders on word soup, and mostly consists of doing the thing you’re currently accusing me of doing.
So, really, what is your deal?
That writing an article about how great of a guy Biden is while the most pressing thing going on at this very moment is how he won’t stop indirectly funding a genocide is ghoulish and repugnant.
If we’re standing together on the street and I point out the guy currently kicking a puppy and start telling you about how much of a nice guy he is, how could you conclude anything about me other than the fact I don’t care about the puppy?
This article is sick.
You are aware it is possible to criticize a party you intend to vote for, yes?
What exactly is your stance here? That the invasion isn’t resulting in the needless deaths of countless civilians and the destruction of Gazan infrastructure? Or that that is happening, but that it’s okay?
it must be so tough for you to keep hearing about how the IDF is handling this conflict and about that manifests in terms of human lives
you truly are a brave little soldier for reading some posts on the internet about it, and certainly far braver than all the people who are like, actually living it as their day-to-day experience
Just Say It, Democrats: An Israeli life is worth a hundredfold its weight in Palestinian lives
The controlled demolition of Israa University makes it pretty obvious that it’s a goal.
I think we can all agree whatever claims you want to make about how it was secretly a training camp don’t really matter, right? If you’re in control of a building enough to go in and plant explosive charges, I think you might be in control of it enough to stop it being used as a training camp.
