As a Canadian, I find it very sad that schools have to resort to panic alarm systems as if they were living in a Mad Max movie without a government.
Mereo is a sociologist who is also a nerd. He believes in open-source software.

China is unique. The one-child policy has only recently been lifted, and the government is actively encouraging the population to have more children. The problem is that because of economic hardship and because this policy has changed the family culture in China, parents still do not want to have multiple children.
Understandable. As others said, they have a demographic decline.
WAS should be the correct verb tense. He saw it was useless as it would split the vote with Trump and now he is behind Trump. He’s trying to get his name off the ballot so he doesn’t hurt Trump’s chances of winning.
Perhaps VPN servers in Brazil (I’m no lawyer) but people can choose to connect to servers outside the country.
It’s easy to explain. You and I are critical thinkers who do our own research and are not easily swayed. As for her, she herself said that she didn’t do any research, but was influenced by her family:
But Hemphill said she usually votes for whoever her mostly Republican-supporting family recommends. Her family, drawn to Trump’s rallies and messaging, drew Hemphill in as well.
“I didn’t realize that brainwashing was happening with Trump in 2016…this is how they would talk to me. ‘Pam, you know, the Democrats…are trying to take over. They’re getting more aggressive.’ I tend to believe them. You know, I wasn’t doing my own research.”
She said coming across facts by researchers helped her gradually drift apart from the MAGA group. Serving time in prison made Hemphill also rethink “who Trump really was” and the misinformation he spread surrounding the 2020 election, she said, to the point where she lost all support for him.
And that’s why skepticism and critical thinking is important for a healthy democracy: you don’t get carried away by these rhetorics and get brainwashed.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Everything is expensive now, housing, food, etc. How can you raise children in this era?
Outside of North America, same-store sales slid 7%. In China, Starbucks’ second-largest market, same-store sales tumbled 14% as both average ticket and transactions shrank. Starbucks has faced stiffer competition in China from local coffee shops that undercut the coffee giant on price.
And that is the problem. Starbucks is not offering anything that doesn’t already exist. It pretends to be a coffee shop for the upper class because it sounds “sophisticated” to say grande instead of medium.
I no longer go there. I know local coffee shops that offer a much better selection of coffees at a good price. And their atmosphere is authentic.
I assume you are North American, look for small ethnic food shops. You will find better food at a cheaper price.
But he is right. As long as a distro is maintained by one individual, it is at risk of being discontinued at any time he can no longer maintain it.
For old posts. I can’t find new posts on DDG. I find them on Google but not on DDG.
Ah come on! Why no Firefox support?!?
Sound advice. During my first year of computer science, one of my professors told me that programming languages are just a tool to solve a problem. The logic to solve it is the key. Whether it’s Java, Python, Go, etc. If you don’t know how to tell the computer what to do, you can’t program anything in any language.
I like to think of instances as countries. Each instance has its own rules and culture, and that affects how the communities are moderated. For example, the beehaw.org instance is heavily moderated compared to lemmy.world. Continuing with our example, the Technology community on beehaw.org will be moderated differently than the Technlology community on Lemmy.world.
So each instance has its own reason for existing. Another example will be https://lemmynsfw.com/ which is an 18+ instance. Basically, when you register in an instance, you become a citizen of that country.
So in summary, each instance has its own rules, its own policies, its own culture, and the moderators of the community that is that instance are bound by them. So unixporn@lemmy.world is not the same as unixporn@lemmy.ml.
Indeed. I have an AMD video card and multi-monitor VRR works beautifully in Wayland. But unfortunately, according to some replies (and yours), Nvidia doesn’t support it yet.
It’s really unfortunate. Multi-monitor VRR is a must as I’m a gamer and I’d like my second monitor to be active when I’m playing, so I can use Discord and browse game guides, for example. I think I’ll continue to buy AMD graphics cards until this issue is resolved.
You can always use Endeavour OS. It’s Arch with a nice installer and some utilities already installed to make it easier to use and maintain. It uses Arch repositories, so for all intents and purposes, it is Arch. Manjaro is not.
Which is why I ask people one simple question: do they plan to game. If they plan to game, I don’t recommend them Mint. If they aren’t, I recommend them Mint.
The new o1-preview model gave me much better and more precise answers than the 4o model.
