Biden's 5 year plan
  • I was hoping you would post your reaction to the content - but thank you for the directive. We will change the laws to make sure that you are safe.

    I love you, my child. Goodnight, and sweet dreams. When you wake up tomorrow, it is my prayer that you see these lands in their Eden state; devoid of Hexbear posts, and full of lib Ws.

    Kiss

  • who is on Lemmy (the sociology of Lemmy)
  • I am new, and I am sure that the culture has changed a lot like with Mastodon in the last few years, but what I perceive is lots of FOSS and Linux people, which is unsurprising. There's tech/infosec people like on Mastodon, and people that have what I consider a very healthy skepticism about big data, corporations, and corporate surveillance. I also notice that political attitudes have a much healthier range than any other social media I've been on in the last decade - and I don't just mean that there are more people like me. There is a good number of people I disagree with, too.

    There are definitely people interested in games and niche interests/hobbies, but it feels to me like the community is still very FOSS-centric. Which is nice. :)

  • Benefits of resolutions beyond 1080p

    This is a genuine question, so please don't do me like Vlad the Impaler. What is your opinion about the benefits of upgrading to displays beyond 1080p?

    I have never watched a film or a video at 1080p and thought it needed to look better. When it comes to software, I feel like I would want a proportionally larger monitor to keep the same DPI PPI, otherwise older software might be a pain to use, and that maintained software UI won't necessarily benefit. However, that line of thinking is probably a niche concern of mine? I don't play first person shooters, so maybe that's another thing I don't get. I have read some people saying that text looks better, which I could buy I suppose?

    I wouldn't say the same for 800x600, but maybe if I were a boomer I would have made that post, too. Is this something I would get over if I start using a modern display?

    e: thanks to everyone for great responses! Based on the popular sentiment, I'm thinking I would take to 1440p just fine, presuming I get a screen ratio, DPI PPI, and screen size that suit my preferences. I am really relieved that I'm not super weird for being completely fine with my ancient monitors. :)

  • I mean, nations disappear all the time.

    If you're talking about the people that live and would continue to live in the land currently under conflict, yeah absolutely they're not going anywhere.

  • This is how the war could have ended in April 2022
  • I actually really like this poster. I have chatted at them a couple of times, and they seem like a good person.

    I also wanted to say that - of course, people have biases. To me, the positive element of the heightened awareness and discourse around bias in the last few decades is that we understand that everyone has it, not that you should go seek out some kind of perfect, non-existent, unbiased source..

    When I see Al Jazeera is reporting on an issue or an element of a larger topic in a way that has not been served by western media, that doesn't mean I forget where Al Jazeera's funding comes from. It does remind me that human beings do journalism at Al Jazeera, and if I disregard all of the information being served there instead of weighing it up to the best of my ability, then I am failing. I think that I extend the same attitude towards contributions of ☆Youngthugs☆ and others doing this news-sharing.

  • And I'll vote for him again
  • I am very sorry to reply to this post of yours from two days ago but I wanted to ask you to consider whether the conservative ploy is not people exercising their vote the way they want, but rather the gerrymandering, redlining, disenfranchisement, and media empire garbage.

    More fantastically, I think that if this version of reality were a control, and we had an alternate where the conservatives did not do all of that terrible crap, we would see their voting base as being the size that it truly is, and a few left leaning people not voting would have no impact. Which, I would argue, is what it is largely doing now in national contests.

    Hope this wasn't a waste of your time
