[–] tigerjerusalem 3 points 5 days ago

I'm not in the USA, but I have friends that lives there and in Canada. I'm worried for them.

So, is the USA screwed? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

You know, DOGE, fascist president and corporations dictating what people can do, institutions being ruined, laws being ignored. Is there any way out of that or is it over? Is the USA done?

Ubuntu is just like Windows now, you have to run a debloater to make it usable.

How can Doge access critical government infrastructure and fire people if it isn't even a real department? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I'm not from the US so all of this is baffling. In Europe and even South America there's tons of mechanisms to stop that from happening, and this kind of meddling would seriously result in arrests. However this is happening in the US with these people going completely unchecked. How is that even possible?!

How to get back into academia for a masters degree after being out for 20+ years? (self.nostupidquestions)
 

I'm thinking about getting back to uni to get my Masters and later a PhD. The thing is, I'm out of academia for more than 20 years, and completely at loss. I don't quite know where to begin. Any tips?

To all my LGBTQ+ people and folks of color here, remember: the bigots, racists, nazis and haters can buy guns, but so can you.

I'm ignorant about that, care to elaborate?

What's wrong with Bluesky App? in c/nostupidquestions

Isn't Eugen Rochko the owner of Mastodon? Isn't he and his company responsible for what happens to it?

Five years later, ultrasonic fingerprint sensors are finally coming to more Android phones in c/android

Motorola had it right, the sensor was right where my index fingers rested on the back. Unfortunately this isn't "premium" nor "hi-tech" enough to sell phones.

Adobe Says Artists Should Embrace AI If They Want to be Successful. in c/technology
[–] tigerjerusalem 9 points 3 months ago

Hot take here: they're not wrong. AI speeds up tons of processes that many traditional artists won't be able to keep up, just like digital painting sped up tons of processes that traditional painting could not keep up.

This doesn't mean that traditional art will die. Physical art will surely find it's niche and it will be sought after by collectors, for example. But in the commercial environment, faster is better and AI will be a factor.

When did we stop saying "things are fire" to say "things are cold"? (self.nostupidquestions)

And what the hell are all supposed to mean? Also, get off my lawn.

EDIT: I'm talking about "cold", not "cool". I'm seeing it being used along with snowflakes and freezing emoji, sometimes even saying "ice".

Horoscopes actually tell the personality of someone. (self.unpopularopinion)

Hear me out: if someone believes in horoscopes, they know what each sign mean. Which means they recognise themselves into a sign. Which means they will mostly act in ways to conform to that sign, giving you a way to figure that person out. The sign tells it all, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Uplift Rock songs about being alone (self.music)

Can someone recommend songs about going to life alone and feeling good about it? There's too much depressing stuff about loneliness around. All I have on my playlist for now is:

Whitesnake - Here I go again

Morrissey - I'm OK by myself

Jimi Hendrix - Stone Free

The Beaches - Me & me

Cycling GPS on a motorcycle? (self.motorcycles)
submitted 9 months ago by tigerjerusalem to c/motorcycles

I was looking around for some GPS equipment for my motorcycle and came across some dirt cheap (in comparison) cycling computers with GPS tracking. This got me wondering, has anyone tried it? Since I don't need nor want all that fancy stuff like tracking, consumption, points of interest, etc, and just want a map, a route and something to show the way, would that be a good idea?
