For most of us, we aren’t in college to learn a specific skill so much as we are there to learn how to be taught. To prove we are capable of taking instructions and producing results as requested.

This is true to the extent that you won’t be solving Organic Chemistry 1 or Linear Algebra exercises at your workplace, but I think it’s misleading. If anything, from my experience, people focus too much on producing the results and not enough on learning the skills. A lot of people stay on the mindset of “I only need the degree / where am I going to need that / the industry has moved on from this” and don’t build strong foundations

Panama is surely getting a taste of that freedom right now, after being forced to change policies at (economic) gun point. But they’re free to do so!!

Civilian Drone Strike Obama and Palestinian Genocide Joe aren’t better

Google search with a site filter (e.g linux site:lemmy.ml) will almost always be better than the site’s own search function.

I suppose by airstrike you mean carried by a jet and not by a rocket? I’ve been busy lately and can’t follow the news too much, which is both a blessing and a curse. I should also check the MSF report as a source to use against libs

That’s the WM or DE plus the individual programs. An i3 install with the same dofiles will have the same aesthetics on each distro.

The international community voted no, I see

The fact that big companies collect and sell your data is common knowledge now, definitely not something esoteric that only people in privacy-conscious bubbles know of. However, “normal” people refuse to not follow every trend or get inconvenienced.

Can you cash out the gold for real money? I doubt it, so it will not be the “poor guy trying to earn some cents” type of spam, it will be the classic redditors trying to farm awards circlejerk which has plagued reddit for a long time

What’s that, a cloud gaming service?

Imagine the following scene straight out of the science fiction storybook,” he writes. “You are beamed into a town full of people going about their business, trading in gadgets, clothes, shoes, books, songs, games and movies. At first everything looks normal. Until you begin to notice something odd. It turns out all the shops, indeed every building, belongs to a chap called Jeff.

Isn’t this analogous to company towns that paid you in scrip? It seems to me that more people would get behind him if he argued that we’ve “regressed” to worse capitalist practices than saying that capitalism is dead.

I remember reading a quote about how coalitions are essentially agreeing on the least-radical platform, with nothing taken from the more radical members. I thought it was in the state and revolution, but I couldn’t find it. If someone knows what I’m talking about, please post it here.

If 95% of ford owners were satisfied with their black cars, vs 40% for another manufacturer that provides cars in multiple colors, then ford would be the better manufacturer.

Enough for them to believe that they live in a democracy, it seems (and I don’t say that sarcastically).

It’s not like people in liberal democracies have more influence. We can’t choose who runs, and each individual’s vote is negligible. I don’t know the specifics of China’s government, but I suspect they value being able to influence local policy and higher official elections via the Communist Party more than a direct vote on its leader – I would too, honestly.

I’d say that it has confidence in that, but their elections and government are structured in a different way.

No, I meant conjugations but you can add declensions to the list too.

Now you’ll say that English has a conjugation for the 3rd singular person but it’s trivial, so it doesn’t really count

The CCP has higher approval rates than western governments and the vast majority of Chinese believe they are living in a democracy. This is confirmed by western studies; latest one I’ve seen was from Harvard.
