  • What's the funniest belief you had when you were a child ?

    Jump

  • Premises:

    1. My family watches the news for [weather] and [ye local murder].
    2. My friend says: his dad says: "the news lies."
    3. Parents are trustworthy, and cops can't lie to the news.

    Conclusion:

    They lie about the WEATHER!?

  • Thank you for this. This comment is just a little push but now I see -- I've already forgotten how long I'd gone without writing a note onto a staff. How long I've spent on just "things that will pay me or pay off."

    I will do this immediately.

  • If I recall correctly, XFCE4 is modular, so you should be able to use its xfce4-clipman-plugin anywhere. i.e. if you're still looking.

  • vibeo gane,

  • As an average OG ex-redditor, Lemmy needs to move away from it's base barebones UI to something like Photon by default, here's why.

    Jump

  • This is a good take.

    Speaking from the same neutral pragmatism, it makes sense to let the default Lemmy web UI be a lightweight, actually-mobile-friendly derivative of old.reddit, rather than a more committed default like Alexandrite or Photon.

    Keeping things similar is a good jumping-off point, and if we do want to make some large change, different generations and cultures have heavily varying default preferences. Wouldn't it be wiser to pick a common ground, something these differing peoples have grown used to, as opposed to some new style A or B or C likes?

    (Fun fact: if you think that ppl sticking to old designs is silly, Panasonic has a whole $$ niche in Japan selling modern-internal, vintage-external laptops with DVD drives and old-style keyboards. https://old.reddit.com/r/thinkpad/v0t06p literally has both a VGA and a thunderbolt lol)

  • It's indeed Reddit-wide. Rather than being moderator-specific, it's admin-enforced.

    To qualify what you mentioned, I've seen the manifesto itself successfully pasted and kept up for 15+ hours, but not the link to it. (just CTRL+F for "indecipherable" in either the r/interestingasfuck or r/WitchesVsPatriarchy threads)

  • edit: word

    You're correct in that the NYPD said that it was a "handwritten, three-page document" -- I found it odd too -- but, the "document" could've been on one of those mini notebooks, or in large print, or scrawled.

    From another perspective -- if the transcription is incomplete, then Klippenstein either (1) omitted text by his own hand, (2) could not acquire the entire document but was unaware that he hadn't, or (3) did not acquire the entire document but withheld his report's weakness of breadth.

    I'm not sure Klippenstein's incompleteness is very likely

  • Ironically, Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations touches on how thinkers often confuse themselves by slightly shifting the meanings of others' words (like a game of telephone!) -- and, you may have done that here, since he's never framed language in the way you mentioned ( ꩜ . ꩜ ;).

    Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. r/philosophy discussion

    Furthermore, in Tractatus (though he kind of discredited this book later in life), Wittgenstein argues

    What can be shown cannot be said

    as a weakness of propositional language (vs. e.g. pictorial language) -- then, this is yet further against "language being at the center in intelligence". (Stanford Plato discussion))

    Maybe you're confusing him with someone else? :D

  • A tangent: On r/interestingasfuck, a post (np link) about Klippenstein's report was removed in less than an hour, but has continued to skyrocket in upvotes, fueled by comments alone

    (As of this comment, first removal complaint was 2 hours ago, but post was made 3 hours ago.)
