As a man who was descending to a dark place when I was a teen, I can say this with confidence:

This kind of content, like CP or r*pe-y stuff, even if clearly not real and only a fantasy, feeds these desires, and makes them grow. In time, if you continue to foster it, they will bleed into real life, and then it becomes a real problem. That’s why this kind of stuff is scary.

Thankfully, I was able to spot this pattern before it became a problem, that is a dangerous slippery slope

I’ve used Zorin for a time, it is really good

I would not put it like that, I’m not that arrogant. Lemmy is, in its majority, left leaning, so of course people will disagree with me, but that’s not to say “reality doesn’t matter”.

I’m really surprised that my post was not down voted to nothingness

I’ll look into it further tomorrow. If I find out that I’m wrong, I’ll edit my comment saying so.

who effectively want to tear down as much government as possible, […]. It’s the ideology of an extraordinarily unregulated market – a true “free market”

I agree with that.

which is a monopolistic and wildly unethical disaster waiting to happen.

I obviously don’t agree with that. Monopolies depend on the government to exist. I will not elaborate further because I’m not feeling like arguing with strangers on the internet today

who view “your freedom ends at my face” as an insult

I really don’t know what that means

Libertarian is not right-wing (at least as what right-wing and libertarian means here, maybe it is not the same in the US?)

The right is conservative. It is religion based, against the liberation of drugs, usually not concerned with LGBT or women rights. Libertarianism is none of this, since it most concerned with individual freedom

I tried DDG and Brave Search. Currently I’m using Brave Search, but it really annoys me that more often than not I have to fallback to Google to find what I want

Brazilian here. This a controversial topic, so take what I say as an opinion.

Although Musk is a man child and a scumbag, he is right on this. He is not refusing to comply with local laws, he is refusing to comply with illegal, monocratic decisions from the supreme court.

It is not news that the supreme court had given themselves dictator-like powers. In this case, there is no law that mandates that a social network has to have legal representatives in the country, and there is no law that a social network has to censor specific person, unless they are commiting a crime, which of course require a investigation and the due legal process, all steps that the supreme court had ignored. Moreover, the supreme court is not persecution, so they can’t just make this decision without being summoned.

They’ve been doing that for a while now, in the name of fighting “anti-democratic acts”, which is just a faceless ghost. This is, again, based on no law whatsoever, so the supreme court had taken for themselves persecution and legislative powers, gravely hurting the separation of powers.

Disclaimer: I’m not right leaning, but I’m as libertarian as one can be

Hot take: just use code.

Most data that you would store in some kind of encoding would be better as code. Code is fast, compact, versatile and easier to work with than a text, or even a binary encoding.

If the problem is that the data is large, and that would slow down the initial load, you can split it in dynamic linked modules, and lazy load them as needed

I can confirm, it works just fine on brave search. I set the time limit to yesterday and it still gave me results

I run ulit on every new terminal. I tried doing it with neofetch at first, but it added too much startup time, that’s how I discovered fastfetch

Unlimited access to ✨ premium ✨ porn

this art is annoying to look at

I don’t know, I find it to be kind of hot

Totally agree. The content may be good, but title and thumbnail are marketing only. A silly thumbnail doesn’t make the content worse, so nothing wrong in the creator trying to use it as a way to increase their reach

“I an Lithuanian”

I can’t read fsck as anything other than “fs check”

Not eggs, but prey. They use this movement to break its bones and kill it.

It’s a siriema if I’m not mistaken. There are a bunch of them in the country side of where I live (Brazilian Cerrado). They are absolutely fantastic animals

If I’m not mistaken (resolution doesn’t help), this bird is a Siriema. They use this movement to kill their prey (usually reptiles like snakes and lizards, but also frogs and small rodents). It is not playing, it is confused, thinking the ball is food.
