In my (and my friend's) experience, KDE has been notoriously unreliable. We faced issues like the wifi icon just disappearing randomly, the time thingy disappearing, etc.

I have been using GNOME for around five years now (I temporarily switched to KDE 2 yrs back and reswitched to GNOME 3 months later). Till now, GNOME has been extremely stable for me. The only issue that I experienced was a memory (although that was fixed in subsequent updates).

Hence, based on this experience, if you're looking for stability, I would highly recommend GNOME. However, if u'r looking for more customization at the cost of less stability, KDE ain't bad.

Ahh makes a lot more sense when you factor in other powers! Thanks :)

Someone please educate me here.... Are shows of force like this really effective? Everyone knows that the US isn't going to participate in this thing directly, right?

If by "medge" u r refering to "Mastodon", then yes. Otherwise no.

The temperature of water is very intuitive in nature. Dip ur hand in ice water. That's almost 0C. Dip ur finger in boiling water (very quickly). That's 100C. Dip ur finger in coffee whose temperature is fit for consumption: that's around 75-80C. Ur hot water shower is likely between 37 and 41C..

Everything is tied quite well to water. Now compare that to F. What's 0F? What's 100F?

Forget the intuitiveness of celsius. It's also much easier to calculate using celsius. When I say "My coffee was worth 80 calories", I'm referring to a measure called "KCal", which is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 litre, or 1 Kg of water by 1C. So if u ate something worth 100Kcal, you consumed enough energy to heat 1L/1Kg of water from 0C (ice) to 100C (steam). The average human requires around 2500 KCal everyday. Which is equivalent to 2.5 liters of water. Pretty cool, huh....

Just a quick sidenote: KCal is still not an "SI" unit. "Joules" are what we use here, but that's another story.

Kids that have been conditioned by the internet to think democratic countries are bad and authoritarian countries are good

Not only that... There are some idiots who genuinely believe that China and the USSR were/are democratic and that western democracies aren't.

once people develop weird parasocial tendencies they struggle to get out of it

True :(

Fuck Hamaz! The only thing that they're good at is misrepresenting all Palestinians as terrorists.

Fkin tankies man 😂

Had the Nazis had a hammer and sickle instead of the hakenkreuz, they would be the biggest Sieg Heilers out there.

If there are objective facts “floating out there” about math, biology, etcetera, why can’t there be objective facts about morality?

Because the objectivity of statements about math, biology, etc. can be verified by posing a scientific question. In other words, something like 1+1=2 is a testable claim. We have seen no occurrence of 1+1=2. Hence, we can say that "1+1=2" is a law of nature. "Moral truths" are simply not testable.

If the answer is that it is difficult to know what the moral facts are: some facts are more difficult to find out than others. Physics didn’t know about the Higgs Boson for centuries and yet here we are. Perhaps philosophy could do the same thing with moral truths in time

And the Higgs Boson became an "objective statement" only after it was verified. Prior to that, it was just a hypothesis. Do you have any scientific evidence to suggest that there are certain universal moral truths that apply to all humans?

Will do that! Thank you for the help :)
