But it’s what certain fruity company and its Dieter Rams wannabe designer in chief made into a trend (along with soldered memory slots and other abominations) because aEsThEtIcZ - despite its implications not only on repairability but sustainability.

I am from a third world country and find this offensive.

Uhhh pretty sure we haven’t defeated brutality. At all. If you don’t believe me just ask Palestinians, the Uyghurs, inmigrants.

Most of what you call “civilization” has been build thanks to wars.

But most of its “brutal-ness” of contemporary life is not about natural disasters, diseases or circumstances that go way beyond our reach.

It’s because us humanity. We (stilñ) are brutal and cruel and unforgiving and relentless.

And we have the courage of calling ourselves “civilization”.

Sadly Lemmy has gotten so much Reddit toxicity so I don’t get why you got downvotes. As a non native speaker I won’t mind if I got some downvotes too if I could get advice improving my english on my shitty comments instead

No, but I want to be one.

Yup, with the recent MTB groupsets (and some gravel groupsets, aka “mullet” setups) chains need to have more links compared to road chains to cover the big ratios in their biggest cogs (50-52 teeth vs. 34-36 at most for road bikes) - add to that that MTB chains may not be compatible with road groupsets and viceversa. But if you check the info available for your groupset and your cassette you’ll find what chains are compatible with it.

I can’t tell what makes a groupset compatible or not with rim brake setups or disc brake setups, but one of the perks of Shimano is that is so widely available almost everywhere it’d be quite rare not to find documentation or a local bike shop where they can tell you what would be the best choice for your setup

You’d want to double check the freewheel that your wheels have, but (surely anyone who knows more about this than me will correct this) I’m almost positive any Shimano 11sp cassette will work. Same for your chain - be sure it’s an 11 sp Shimano-compatible road chain, be Shimano or something like KMC.

It sort of looks like if Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were going to pop out from that thing

A meme is never late, @nilaus@lemmy.world, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to.

A bit of story.

My mother says her eldest brother was like the evil on earth. He raped her younger sisters, used to beat up all of them – his younger brother grew up with serious mental issues because of that, and now we are having issues trying to get him into an asylum because, again, third world problems - stole the house and land of their parents (which wasn’t a lot, but left my mother and her sisters with nothing when their father died) and even treated violently my grandmother. I never got to know my grandparents because they died when my mother was young.

So my mother says one night my grandmother was really ill and this person (I have never seen him, not even in pictures) arrived home and beat her up and went to sleep. Then allegedly “the spirits” (“las almas”) came when he was asleep and beat him up so hard he screamed and woke everyone up - like they could see how “the spirits” lifted him across the room and hit him violently, but never could see any of those “spirits”.

A few weeks or months after that my grandmother died and all of my aunts had to get miserable jobs trying to survive and this bastard still showed up from time to time to steal the few bucks they could earn.

Eventually all of them (except my uncle) got married and all of them but the elder sister never saw him ever again.

Now I’m atheist and don’t believe in this kind of stuff, but the saying is that “the souls” do that kind of thing to really awful people. So if Carson’s incident is true (and if “the souls” exist and are able to do that), now you may have a possible explanation for that.

Ain’t that what edgelord “comedy” is all about, tho?

I remember one time at r/peloton one of those tribalistic mildly-xenophobic nutcases told me, after sharing an article in spanish which had some ambiguous word, something to the effect that “spanish is the most confusing language in the world”.

Yes, that genius told that. In english.

For what it’s worth, r/Bogota has never had those - and if it had, it would be just incels living with their mommy who barely know their own neighborhood. It’s ridiculous how they’re so detached from the reality of our city and country.

Studied electronic engineering for two years - the group I went in was like 111 dudes and 7 girls. Some dudes enrolled in electives from faculties like nursery or dentistry because the boys/girls ratio there was inversely proportional as in our faculty.

Me too. Was unemployed for 2.5 years and completely broke. My own sister bullied me about that to no end on a daily basis. Lost almost all of my hair in less than six months (didn’t even hit 30 with hair in my head and no, my parents nor grandparents never went bald). Was dumped and heartbroken and lost my only and best friend in the world - my dog.

But somehow the COVID thing brought inner peace, a stable job, and pretty much could turn my life upside down.

From my ignorant point of view Microsoft had in its very own hands a solid competitor to Facebook but ended doing absolutely nothing with it.

I still can recall the MSN/Hotmail profiles - it was kind of a news feed that recorded all your statuses from MSN (or you could add your own there). Your contacts could add comments on those. I seem to recall at some point you could add posts with pictures too.

But all of that just disappeared when they ditched MSN.

They could’ve beat Facebook in its own game easily, as they had the advantage of their huge userbase - but somehow they missed on that too.

It’s been great to be honest.

I just wish there was a couple features for when creating a submission or a comment:

1. Picture drag and drop - when adding a picture to a submission, you could add it by dragging it and dropping it to the dialog that shows up to pick a picture (also maybe adding a picture by its URL address would be great);
2. When replying to a comment, you could create quoted text directly by selecting the text from the comment you’re replying to, so said selected text will show up as quoted in your text input area when you hit the reply button - Reddit does this and it’s a nice feature to have versus copying, pasting and editing it so it turns to a quoted text

Bootstrap is highly opinionated imho, i.e. it’s great if you want to do something that lies within its style or else you’ll have a hard time. If that’s your case, and of course if this is a possibility, you can consider moving to another framework - say, Tailwind.
