It was made into a film called Children of Men.

Try AwesomeWM. Or if you are determined to have a tiling only then QTile is good.

Probably the opposite.

Our “higher reasoning” and “state of awareness” (needs defining) gives us the ability to do thigns other animals can’t. For example chronic pain sufferers are taught how to manage their pain with a variety of CBT techniques. Not something you can teach a dog or cat.

People in intense periods of intense suffering may have thw ability to dissociate from the experience (“go to their happy place”) to lessen the pain experience.

We’re not aware animal shave this ability.

If anything mammals of all kinds that feel pain don’t have our higher cognitive ability to help manage and supress it.

Having said that it’s possible we feel more emotionally complex pain. Pain induced from our own minds by remembering trauma or imagining painful situations. As someone pointed out below a dying animal probably isn’t thinking about the loss of it’s family as it’s dying. But it will be feeling the pain of dying acutely.

I wish the Lemmy instances would realise the ultimate ideal isn’t just deferated instances but federated logins too - in combination!!

So rather than being signed up to 1 istance plus an alt. You can just be logged into Google/FB/Twitter and access all the sinstances.

I wrote my compiler in Haskell because it seemed that it’d be much less hassle compared to do it in a object oriented or procedual language.

That is not a feeling I’d associate with Haskell!!

You’re a one-off man-mental.

Hello Mr Hong Kongnese. I’m a Brit. We don’t boil water here and I’ve visisted Iceland - they don’t boil it either.

Diu gau lan tsat hai - Merry Christmas. Enjoy your holiday.

Like hearding cats.

Oh my god - I’d completely forgotten about that place! I just checked and it’s stil alive: https://astalavista.box.sk/search/

I remember it being dark blue when I used it back in the 90s though.

I admin-ed my own vBulletin board around 04-06. The script itself cost about £90 back then. It was so great though. Small community of like-minded people all chattng. It was like a slow-Discord or a more intimate Reddit.

I installed a ton of extensions for people to play Flash games at one point too.

One day I accidentally forgot to pay hosting and the site vanished. Lost it all. Never bothered relaunching.

“I didn’t put a WHERE clause in that DELETE statement”

Wait so games like Doom and Quake are considered “Boomer shooters” now? Really? So Millenials are nw Boomers?

“It works on my PC”

I like your avatar. I was such a huge Sonic fan since the original Sonic on Sega Master System that I spiked my hair from about 8yo to 18yo when I switched to wearing big 2in spiked hair when out clubbing.

Unfortunately middle age happened and my hair migrated from my head to my back which isn’t as good for spiking. :(

Lemmy’s been up for all of 5mins and ppl are already gatekeeping the place?

I’ve not seen anything about “poop”.

I feel like my brain is detoxing since coming here. In the literal and figurative sense.

1. Addiction - I’d degenerated to just doom-scrolling reddit and rarely commenting cos the top 3 comments were unfunny puns with 12,000 others so it never felt worth it.
2. Regaining Self - I’d become so outwardly sanitised I didn’t realise I’d stopped swearing entirely in my older comments. I used to pepper my comments with fuck, bitch, shit, cunt as I do in the real woirld. But with heavy penalties against words like “faggot” (which is fucking idiotic for Brits) I’d started to self-censor to the point I wasn’t being “me”.

I’m not saying I hope it turns into 4chan.

But I do hope it grows into the early days of Reddit. Where people only downvoted things they found useless rather than disagreeable. There were less self-made echo chambers with ultra-sanitised ‘drone-like’ users where everyone had the same unfunny opinion.

For Brits: Swap “Mexican” for “Indian” or “Polish”

Also buy your spices from Indian supermarkets/shops/sections of Asda rather than getting Schwartz jars.

E.g. My local Asda sells a jar of Schwartz cinamon for £2.50. The next aisle sells cinammon in a bag of 3x the amount for £1! Same for rice, noodles and many other ‘foreign’ foods. Polish meat section can often be cheaper than the normal sections.
