Linux@lemmy.world•Distro Recommendation Discussion (Not a 'What Distro Should I Use?' Post)English
2·10 hours agoThis all seems like good advice to me. I would make the same recommendations.
If you immigrate as an English speaker to Canada you have to take an English proficiency test even if it is your first language.

1·11 hours agoThere is an American left: I’m not American but I have met American communists and anarchists, and they’re just as left as anyone. But they’re relatively powerless in the US’s formal political system, though they can be active in local communities, and of course there’s a history in the USA of persecuting communists.

I get it, but some people really won’t just do anything for money, and many would draw the line before this.

3·11 hours agoIt’s good and it looks very nice, but I still find htop easier for a quick look at what’s going on, especially in smaller terminal windows.
If the machines are rigged in favor of one candidate, then the people who actually voted for that candidate still do get what they voted for. But the voting population as a whole doesn’t.

science@lemmy.world•Scientists criticize ‘straw man’ arguments in Bill Gates climate memoEnglish
12·2 days agoBlack-and-white thinking is characteristic of the right wing. You can look at any topic and see it with them: COVID, vaccines, climate change, immigration, welfare, the economy, etc. They always frame things as either all bad or not bad at all, and can’t handle shades of grey or multidimensional analysis. They will seize on Bill Gates’s statement to claim climate change is not a problem.

Political Weirdos @lemmy.world•President Trump ignoring someone who collapsed in the Oval Office.
5·2 days agoI don’t see anything in the video that suggests his reaction is misrepresented in the picture. He stares at the man with apparent frustration and contempt for a few seconds then turns away as shown in the photo.

41·2 days agoIt’s an inclusive “or”.
I’m not saying this is the ideal solution, but I’ve had decent performance from the house to a shed 60 feet away using Asus ZenWifi AX XT8 nodes in the house (with one in the window at the back of the house) and an Asus RT-AX56U extender in the shed. Most days I get decent speeds, good enough to use for work and watching videos. Very occasionally there’s a bad day. I originally tried with the dual-band Asus ZenWifi AX Mini cubes, but they were not powerful enough. Their bigger tri-band units work better.
There are probably better solutions though, using directional dishes. I just did this because, like you, I didn’t want to have to mess with holes for ethernet cables, mounting dishes to poles, etc.
Oh, and I once had bad signal so I put the unit at the back of the house at what would roughly be the focal point of a large metal kitchen bowl and pointed the bowl at the shed, and the signal improved dramatically
The Asus boxes are overpriced when new, but you can get them for cheap used.

News@lemmy.world•Trump Says ICE Hasn’t “Gone Far Enough” in Its Violent Enforcement Methods
1·2 days agoYou never know whether a stranger on the internet is dyslexic. It might be preferable to let a spelling error slide rather than attack someone for what might be a disability they can’t help. Plus there are plenty of people for whom English is not their first language. And then there are people who are just bad at spelling, but it doesn’t really matter.
