Upon consideration, it wasn’t so much whataboutism as it was hyperbole. Which was the entire point of my original comment.

Try harder. Please find one comment from me where I’m not critical of Israel’s response to the Gaza situation.

This is exactly as much whataboutism as the comment I replied to…if you ignore my second sentence.

And I was assured that the Russian economy was doing great due to the increasing GDP and the sanctions weren’t affecting things.

Perhaps reality lies somewhere between what the blowhards and propagandists are saying. And perhaps all of us who oppose the concept of nations attacking other nations, militarily or otherwise, should recognize the threat Russia poses and support Ukraine with more than merely half hearted weapons transfers.

I’ll be saving for another year or so for a VR set. Hopefully the next gen will have the features I’m looking for.

There are a number of words in English that have different meanings depending on where you’re from, such as flat or boot, but the political definition of table is its own antonym depending on the region. In Canada and the UK to table a bill or subject means to pay attention or deal with it, while in America it means to set it aside. There is an apocryphal story about the leaders of Canada and America meeting with him during WWII and they wish to discuss some subject. The Canadian says to table the discussion, the American gets upset and says it’s an important topic and needs to be discussed, and Churchill says we are nations divided by a common language.

I honestly thought it would be more prevalent on the internet, but I couldn’t find a reference to it.

BigScreen makes a vr headset that is Index compatible, about 150 grams, higher resolution, custom removable/swappable face cushion, and custom removable prescription inserts. Costs about $1000 USD for only the headset. It also doesn’t have AR passthrough. If it cost a little more and had AR passthrough, I would be saving up for it now.

This is a Canadian topic. With regards to this exact term, in the words of Churchill, “We are divided by a common language.”

I admire your bravery. Not everyone who sees the gleaming blades of the DickSlicer2000 rushes to be first in line.

Keep in mind that our reactors produce a significant proportion of the world’s medical isotopes. Those also have a short lifespan so steady production is required. If we are going to maintain or improve healthcare, we will need to increase our production.

I can agree with all of that, and it’s what I hope for for everyone. I just don’t think having other priorities is necessarily immoral, although it certainly can be.

I’m not sure where morality comes into the whys of getting married. Historically, women have married for things other than love, when they had a choice at all. If they maintain fidelity and keep their agreements with each other, how is this any less immoral than marrying for love?

Again, wouldn’t know. I haven’t used an Apple computer for more than 20 years.

Cats will probably be okay. Their wild cousins are native to desert climates.

There was a recent Lemmy post saying Apple had just raised their minimum RAM specs to 16 GB. I think I came across this in the last couple weeks. I didn’t do more than skim the comments since I don’t have any products from them.

So would the collapse of civilization. Neither counts as a win for humanity.

Really should have gone with 8 days.

Unfortunately, for the scenario I was replying to, a lot of the times when you’re doing support, you can’t see the user’s screen and are limited to verbal communication, so verifying what they typed or the output can lead to just as many problems. Any support scenario where you’re talking the other person through a series of tasks will be very dependent on how familiar each person is with the task you’re supporting. And no one Rs TFM these days, if you even get one.

Just try to verbally describe the difference between a bracket, brace, or parenthesis, or forward slash vs backslash. I’m sure it will be fine. But absolutely, a text-based interface is easier to describe in text.

Oh, I have. Now imagine giving those people a command line.
