  • "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership

  • Heh, praise uBlock. If it didn't work as well as it does, I'd drop youtube in an instant. Invidious used to be awesome, but it's so hit-or-miss now that I seldom try it. Youtube isn't bad without ads, but ads + wading through clickbait bullshit just isn't worth it.

  • Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good

  • Nice list. I recently started using Fossify Launcher and have been pretty happy with it. It's simple but does what I need. Thought I'd mention it as it's absent from that list.

  • Heh, getting warmed up for their inevitable turn to cannibalism, to rid the earth of evil humans.

  • Richard Dawkins quits atheism foundation for backing transgender ‘religion’

  • I certainly goofed on my lazy definition of 'antitheism'. Certainly more logical it'd be predicated upon 'disbelief' (webster, 1913). I think I picked up my lazy "belief in absence" from elsewhere on the net where people were defending atheism and, mostly, railing on antitheism. I should be more careful.

    I was thinking the response more folks that just didn't check your link and were operating on their own definition. I do think it a useful link. I've only heard these concepts using '(a)gnostic' qualifiers. I should update my vocabulary. My concept of atheism has long been a simple binary: believer | disbeliever.

  • There are some semantics at play, reflected in your link. Many atheists take the label to mean simply: absence of belief. That is: atheists require evidence before making a claim. As such, those that "believe" in nonexistence wind up falling into another category: anti-theists. There's hubris involved in making the leap to belief, so I wager many just want to illuminate the distinction.

  • This is where I'm at. Got banned over on r/atheism for presenting a similar sentiment.

  • Organic Maps Turns 4 Years: The Privacy-Focused Alternative to Google Maps

    Jump

  • It's great for trails in America. I've used it for years. Offline maps by default and you can easily drop a pin. FYI, in the android build, you drop a pin with a triple touch. It used to be long touch.

  • CEOs struggle to process their new reality after the public glee at Brian Thompson’s killing

  • It's insulting toward, what I believe to be, a plurality of the population. Luigi was a gift of a wake-up call. They'd do well to listen. Though, only government could really remedy the situation, and that's not likely to happen. So we lurch forward toward instability. The powers at be seem more intent on transfixing the masses with fictions, distractions, and eventually: war.

  • Trump to discuss ending childhood vaccination programs with RFK Jr.

  • This is true in my experience. People are extremely mimetic and validation driven. If someone respects you, they listen and imitate. It can actually be frustrating to me as an adult, because I don't find the aphorism "imitation is the finest form of flattery" to be flattering in many cases. It can start to look manipulative or lazy when it's middle-aged adults floundering for approval.

    But your point stands: respect is an effective platform from which to share ideas. So many folks close off their minds, because they are lonely or otherwise insecure. If you can positively move either of those needles, they listen. From there, the only question is whether they truly internalize the idea, or whether they are chasing the feels of socialization.

  • Void. I like xbps, and I prefer distros that make as few assumptions as possible.
