‘Greedflation’ study finds many companies were lying to you about inflation
Not surprised. Black rock company is probably in the lead when it comes to that.

Wow. For real ???
You learn something new everyday.
But yeah, I never saw divers getting stunned/ killed even when diving near whales.
It could be that it never happened, but that's like such a high variance to have never happened.

VW Is Putting Buttons Back in Cars Because People Complained Enough
Imagine paying the same price for a car that lacks the technology of:
Smart screen
But the screen still sucks because you can literally buy a magnet and stick your phone there, and still be able to do literally everything a smart screen car do.
I mean id still buy it because I prefer cars that are not so impractical, but it's a shame that it still costs practically the same.
Conceptually, a smart screen sounds like a good idea, but the implementation is bad.

Joining this community, and my first post.
I edited the original post because I thought some points would have been better articulated in expressing myself, now that I took a look at it a second time. It's only paraphrasing changes and minor grammatical details, however. I assure you.

Joining this community, and my first post.
N. I have always wanted to join Reddit, but didn't find much purpose or reason to do it. There seemed to be a bunch of people already commenting and making reasonable propositions on posts. I also didn't see it reasonable for me to take from my own time and others just to say something that may not always be correct or valuable to anything.
I have been using an app called 'Stealth' to scroll for major news and events around the world, and I surprisingly found it valuable on its own, just seeing what people say and whatever the news are about. But I thought maybe it is time to change that and switch to a Lemmy server where I could actually add my input.
I have always thought that a time like this would have come, sooner or later. So I choose now.
And I personally thank the maintainer of this Lemmy instance, for making a Linux server instance on Lemmy available and possible.
I do not know how long it will stay up (here's hoping) so I may as well create my own host server too. I don't know when either. 😁
So that's the other part of the story, if my dear readers would have liked more insight. But my intentions and goals will remain the same so long as I am here.

Should I move to Docker?
There are teachings I have read/ discovered through YouTube (can't remember exactly where) about the reasons and the philosophy behind moving to docker, or having it as a state machine.
Have you considered looking into dockers alternatives, also ?
Here is 1 of the sources that may give you insights:
https://www.cloudzero.com/blog/docker-alternatives/
-- There has been some concerns over docker's licensing and, as such, some people have started preferring solutions such as podman and containerd.
Both are good in terms of compatibility and usability, however I have not used them extensively.
Nonetheless, I am currently using docker for my own hyperserver [Edit2: oops, I meant hypervisor ✓, not hyperserver] purposes. And I am also a little concerned about the future of docker, and would consider changing sometime in the future.
[Edit1: I am using docker because it is easy to make custom machines, with all files configurations, and deploy them that way. It is a time saver. But performance wise, I would not recommend it for major machines that contain major machine processes and services. And that's just the gist of it].

Looking to switch to Linux in the somewhat distant future
Reply in thread
Absolutely!
I started with mint. Hated it.
Ubuntu, Pop_Os. Hated it.
Fedora. Hated it.
Archlinux, okay, but not so much.
Manjaroo, hated it.
And now I settled with Garuda and Nobara. Like them.
I used Nobara for niche gaming (rarely use it now).
And Garuda Linux for dev work, and downloading and installing stuff, including proprietary packages. And I don't have to configure all the things to make it capable of allowing me to download stuff from all the nice mirrors, such as the community arch mirror.
Nobara, on the other hand, is great at handling compatibility issues kinda out of the box. Such [Edit1: as GPU] drivers.
The reason I disliked the aforementioned distros was solely because of how much involved I had to be to configure them to integrate with my rare WiFi chip drivers, which triggered me when I banged my head at the keyboard for hours only to find out that my WiFi driver was not supported.
But Garuda and Nobara or a blessing, and a chef's kiss.
That's coming from a person who tried more than 20+ distros and/or their derivatives.
[Edit2:] All in all, I would recommend what the comment above suggested, as that will help you find your own path. The samurai path, the kenjutsu path, or the kendo path, the peaceful path, or the hackers path. ;)
[Edit3: sorry Debian users, but I DID try your distros, I just didn't want to bother with them much as they had compatibility issues too !]

Warner Robins teacher accused of threatening to kill student over comment about his Israeli flag
Reply in thread
It seems to me that he's getting the perception that the status quo now normalizes with the things that Hamas has done, in light of the Palestinian protesters around the world.
I would not comment on this, however, as I am not legible enough to know whether his characteristics are of psychiatric disorders or high levels of neuroticism. I cannot fully judge this person, as I am not to claim that I was present in his environment where this happened. [Edit: (see next posts in the comments, as I have arrived at a different conclusion)]
I can tell, however, he may be triggered, but he's not the triggerman.
And yes, put that man in a ward or with a therapist.

Ho !? I didn't know you had it in you ! 😱
I kind of hoped you would have mentioned any of these: the magnetometer, polarimeter, and the interferometer; or the spectrometer, or the RTG system.

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful insights. Your perspective adds depth to the discussion, and I find your analysis intriguing. It has given me valuable insights.
And it's great that we align on this matter. I value the exchange of ideas, and it's reassuring to find common ground in our views.
Who knows what new understandings we might uncover in the future ?
When I read the news I had conflicting emotions of pity but also understanding for his behaviour, in a manner of speaking (hence my initial comment, and my stance in disbelief). "What if he's only a single piece of pieces that are being moved around by various factors ?", including his environment. For instance, if his post immediate environment is presenting a supportive attitude towards ALL Palestinians, that could actually be wrongly perceived.
Exuding highly reactive aggressive behaviour is often correlated with high levels of neuroticism and emotional factors at play, from my understanding.
Here is an interesting excerpt from psychologist expert, Arlin Cunic, "A smaller-scale study found that after viewing unpleasant images, people rating higher in neuroticism had lower oxygen levels in their lateral prefrontal cortex than those with lower neuroticism ratings..", https://www.verywellmind.com/how-neuroticism-affects-your-behavior-4782188
I have come across these concepts before from documentaries and vast inputs, but your insights has driven me to do a brief research about it; specifically about neuroticism. Quite fascinating.
It is indeed of most import to address these complex cases, without having to leave them at the wits of those who prefer idleness.

I just realized that it interprets ' --- ' in the text format as headers. I thought that was funny. (I was using them to make the split between lines from other paragraphs more apparent, and therefore more readable).
I apologize for the oversight, let me fix that.

Gnome + Xorg == Mouse causes
The issue you're describing could be related to the interaction between GNOME, Xorg, and multiple monitors. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:
Monitor Alignment:
Resolution and Refresh Rate:
Graphics Driver:
GNOME Extensions:
Xorg Configuration:
Multiple Monitors Configuration:
Wayland vs. Xorg:
Bug Reports:
Testing with a Single Monitor:
If the issue persists after trying these steps, you may want to seek assistance from the GNOME community forums.
If you find that my proposition soundly offly familiar to chatgpt, that's because it is.
Don't blame me though, because the details you have provided could be anything also. So in chatgpts defense, you could tackle these specific points, and see if any of them could be causing the technical issue. And that would be my advice too.
If you could provide more details, that would be helpful. XD

What if the intelligent species have gone extinct because they were so socially good and giving, that they sacrificed themselves when they reached the epitome of religious intelligence.... ?
And whatever's leftover from those that are still surviving are the ones that are yet to go over that phase, and they are all but sheeps at the moment (ones that pray to false idols, or follow other religious figures to guide them, without much critical thinking)?
Those are the ones that were leftover, are the ones that hunted the mammoths to extinction, and have driven other animals and plants species to extinction due selfishness.
What if good, intelligent, and sensible people are becoming more and more scarce due to their new profound knowledge that they have acquired.
Maybe I'm biased because I liked certain people so much (Mr. Rogers, RIP) 😅
