Particularly interesting is this comment:

One really interesting addition to me is that the early internet was a very, VERY free speech place. It loved Gish Gallops of enormous numbers of arguments from all sides and the idea that you would tell anyone, even the most foolish, that they should be banned was verboten.

In fact, early atheists loved creationists posting! It gave them content because these people were so obviously wrong. And creationists the same, because it allowed them to fight back too.

The modern deplatforming support on both sides is another sign that that era is gone.

Me, absolutely. At breakfast buffets you may have to stop me from eating way too many eggs.

The random place in your head is likely a CGP Grey video about animal domestication. 😁

Yes it does. It is possible to comment on Lemmy posts from Mastodon if the posts were for some reason federated to a Mastodon server.

Current me and 14-year-old me would certainly agree that Linux (and free software generally) is awesome for example. :D

I think most people form most of their worldview around the age of 12 to 14 years. I know I did, that is when I first learned about most of the issues I am still most passionate about nowadays. Anything I learned about earlier or later, I am more likely to change my mind about.

If you do not occasionally change your views on things even later in life based on new information, then you’re not doing very much thinking. Your thought is incomplete, we should have more than two sets of opinions.

AFAICT not really true for Austria (where I live), we get 5 weeks of vacation, yet I don’t hear very much about unions and am not myself a member of one

Of course, not blaming children for misunderstanding this; but if this were a software requirement, an adult software developer should be able to understand it correctly.

Honestly the question as asked is unambiguous: “write words in alphabetical order” cannot mean anything else than apple, fox, log, pond, pumpkin, river. If what was provided here were the expected answer, the wording should be “write each of the following words with its letters sorted by alphabetical order”.

No, the answer isn’t “pumpkim”. :D

If you’re on this sub, this is a good programming exercise for you if you’re interested. I’m sure there are plenty of large lists of words in English, that should provide all the data needed.

wait until you find out that if the same happens to Elon Musk, Elongate will be really drawn out

Don’t look at “all”, just “subscribed”, then subscribe to things you want to see.

Couldn’t you just go to a store that sells musical instruments and try them out there? I don’t know enough about musical instruments to know the answer, but I am a hobbyist photographer and we can certainly do that with cameras.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

If at all.

That can move photos into directories according to their EXIF date, which should already help you a lot.

may I ask what your first language is?

Do you have this problem only with “strawberry” or also with “straw” alone? What about other words beginning with str-, like street or straight?

My first language doesn’t have syllable-initial st-, yet pronouncing any of these words is no problem for me at all in English.

An ISO file is just binary data representing the data on an optical disk.

So it makes sense that VLC can in principle open ISO files, they could be audio CDs or movie DVDs. I suppose what you see here is the result of it doing its best to “show” a DVD containing something entirely different.
