Is there an AcademicDictionary in the vein of Urban Dictionary for all the jargon and filler patterns?

What are shitboxes?

Dr. Jill Stein has improved the Green Party; y’all just believe anything the duopoly and owner-class media spit out when it agrees with your thinking.

In what ways, alongside the one point mentioned, and according to what sources (presumably not from the party itself)?

Appreciate the thoughtful reply! I can see where you're coming from in terms of opening TLDs up creating a bunch of issues, even though I do still enjoy the more playful ones despite that.

It's honestly a little surprising that so many have been made available given the issues it can present, but I think that's largely a byproduct of approaching the internet less from a rigidly structured perspective and more of a loose informal perspective.

do you think you'd be able to tell if it was instead a massive homelab run by the microorganisms in your house?

Personally, the childish side of me will always get a kick out of .wtf in a website name.

Taiwan has been able to effectively respond to Chinese disinformation in part because of how seriously the threat is perceived there, according to Kenton Thibaut, a senior resident fellow and expert on Chinese disinformation at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. Instead of a piecemeal approach — focusing solely on media literacy, for instance, or relying only on the government to fact-check false rumors — Taiwan adopted a multifaceted approach, what Thibaut called a “whole of society response” that relied on government, independent fact-check groups and even private citizens to call out disinformation and propaganda.

Given the degrees of separation from other nations' disinformants in some situations, how do you help the public take the hostility/threat of their disinformants more seriously to help build a counterinfluence apparatus?

First I've heard of Toki Pona! It's really fascinating, thanks for sharing this!

And even though this is lemmy, when I searched for “Ubuntu Help”, there’s no community named that. There’s also no community named “Linux help”. Which I find very very odd. Lemmy of all places you’d think would have a linux help community!

Have you been by [email protected] yet? Nevertheless, this community should work just as well.

There's also [email protected] or a community with the same name on Lemmy World. When specificity in a search fails, falling back to broader/more basic terms may help (e.g. searching for Ubuntu or Linux).

Is this part of your sibling goofing routine?

Anywhere it's generally okay to look/find things

Is this a rare car tree, upon which the cars grow?

 

The safest option is obvious, don't try to access its contents, but if you absolutely had to, what steps would you take to minimize/contain any potential harm to your device/network?

 

bonus question:what does it mean to be too online anymore?

 

They seem like one more bodily detail to tend to without much benefit, and sometimes more detriment (breaking a nail or scratching oneself up, ouch!).

 

Somehow I missed what out of this world happened to result in some people stranded in space, and I thought it'd be fun/interesting to see how others describe what led to it.

 

I've been watching more shows from before 2020 and losing track of more recent ones, so I'm interested in what shows have been entertaining people lately.

 

Aware of Raindrop, but not a fan of freemium models & the data being stored primarily in the cloud. Many alternatives I've found are self-hosted, however if possible I'd prefer a desktop app with data stored locally.

Thanks in advance!

 

While sometimes logs aren't too difficult to follow, there's also often times they're inscrutable to those not in the weeds of their respective OS. So I was wondering if anyone around here might have some pointers to guides or the like for where to find, and help understanding, different system error logs.

On Windows there's Event Viewer to some extent, and on Linux I think it's typically /var/log (and some distros may have a GUI System Log Viewer?). Not sure of MacOS.

Thanks in advance for any replies with pointers to resources!
