“BuT tHeY aRe A cHoKiNg HaZaRd”

Ok

I’ve always found the idea superficial and frankly vain that planting a rainbow flag in front of your HQ would somehow label you a friend to the queer community. Talk with your actions.

Social media back then were also referred to as social NETWORKS. A network implies collaboration and interactivity, media are more linear, having a sender and a recipient.

It’s called “Das perfekte Dinner”, it’s been on the air for 20 years and is one of those shows that defies the death of classic television.

It can appear quite boring if you come from watching things like chef’s table or hell’s kitchen, as there is little drama, its unscripted and it’s mostly very positive and no-nonsense.

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.

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.

I totally agree and I’m not saying FOSS is useless, quite the contrary. My only point was that articles like the above make it easy to frame the FOSS-hype as a nothingburger by being poorly researched, which is not what the movement needs.

Most of these listicle items are a decade old, at least the Munich one has failed. I’d also be surprised if the GDR picturesd in that map ditched Microsoft… I see so many accounts peddle their stupid AI aggregators here, it’s getting annoying.

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…

What even is this. It’s like a Foss OS & Store but all proprietary? More like unfreephone

As someone who was chronically constipated: A year’s supply of psyllium husks.

As someone who was overweight, depressed and had severe back pain, a yoga mat.

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

Hey! Nice concept, gut says yes, especially with the news the way it is. Have you gotten any data or done some market analysis? Are there other players like this in the market, how do they position themselves, how do they communicate and what’s their target audience? Then see if there’s space for you and your service. How is it different from theirs?

I guess it’ll all come down to HOW you market it, I’m sure there’s small to medium businesses interested in switching, but try to find both emotional and rational reasons for them to do so and see if you fill those needs.

Sure, owners will dislike Trumps policies, but what’ll make them change is more likely a) US services becoming unreliable and threatening their business model and b) FOSS/Made in EU becoming a big selling point for their customers.

Then your communication could go along these lines of: “Scared for your data and information safety? Losing sleep over the future of your company in unstable times?” as well as fomo: “Don’t miss out on the EU/FOSS hype train and gain an advantage over your competition!”

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.

It’s on neither of their press platforms. This is either leaked, fake or maybe they retracted the news. Would be really cool though

Great, now that 50% of a video can be a direct call for genocide, does that at LEAST mean I can use ONE instance of a “bad” word or speak of “icky” things like death and drug abuse without being demonized?

Yeah, that must be it

“No Kings” and it’s framing sound less tame and vague than “Hands Off” did, so here’s hoping.
