Because our brains are not wired for the modern complex world. Most decisions we make, we make thanks to heuristics that are heavily exploited by other people.

There is also a lot of educational content, including lectures, interviews, popular science channels, investigative journalism, and tutorials on anything from how to apply nail polish to how to fly an actual Boeing 737 from real airline pilots. This list is endless. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with junk content either, sometimes we all need to unwind and watch something silly. Don’t take YouTube for granted.

She would program it to fetch flour for her next pie.

If I am being honest, I haven’t considered this.

Yeah, but also people have very different ideas of what good life is, and what stops them from having it.

And it is more intelligent than an average voter too.

I don’t think that the distribution of system packages is the issue. People need a way to easily distribute and obtain everyday applications, and to keep them up to date in the same manner. Linus spoke about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzl1B7nB9Kc

I would rather have a snap than building from source or use some tar.gz archive with a sketchy install script

I agree, but that sounds like false dichotomy to me because snap competes with flatpak.

Why is it single? 🥲

Fun fact: it isn’t named after him.

It’d be better to ask for the list of communities the person is subscribed to before the visit.

I… I don’t know whether I should upvote or downvote that.

See? This is what NNN does to a mf.

Perhaps, some people could have a higher MMR with a better attitude. But it’s more likely that the vast majority of them simply don’t see how bad they are or they can’t accept it.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t stop the toxicity. I always found it strange when people insult me for being bad. Like, dude, we have the same MMR. You are as terrible as me!

Well, sort of. Not in the same way you or I might scream. Rather, they emit popping or clicking noises in ultrasonic frequencies.

Another “science” community with clickbaity bullshit.

Would you give up your country for peace? By peace I mean living in a nearly totalitarian state where you could go to prison for liking something on social media that the government doesn’t like. And then you would be sent to the front to fight in another war with a neighboring country, just like they did with men from occupied areas in 2014.
