The hard flat back gives your flesh something to press up against when pinching. Imagine pulling a hair out of your arm with your fingers. Easy, right? Now imagine pulling a hair out of your arm with your lips.

Are…Your fingers boneless? For awhile I kept my fingernails cut probably far too short and didn’t have too much trouble pulling the occasional arm hairs. That said, point stands regarding picking up smaller stuff, and I appreciate the amusing visual and nail enthusiasm!

Does ffmpeg work best standing? Or is it better spread out? Did it work properly if it finished fast?

Does it sometimes seem like commenting in high traffic online spaces feels this way too, not just Reddit?

Tbh I didn’t mean to Lemmy, so much as simply off Twitter in general, preferably to a non-corporate social site. It may be naive/idealistic, but I think those most inclined to leave would be the better of the bunch, and those in-between are more apt to go to another corporate site anyway (e.g. Threads).

Do the add-ons you use specifically target Facebook? If so, what are you using to mitigate its manipulative/predatory designs?

How might we help and encourage people to leave Twitter?

Do people think it’s a good thing, or simply the thing where those they know are?

…Does anyone have data on how many people still use checks?

Have you seen Publii yet? Dunno how well it works on Linux, but there’s a version for Linux as well.

Is this ever noted in any of the documentation, outside of some fine print, with the printer to let someone know that it’s being done? If your product is secretly leaving indicators for anyone aware of the indicators to track your actions in some way, that’s problematic in my opinion.

Given a printer is arguably a lesser issue anymore, but the same idea applies with other tech.

Isn’t this simply a contrivance to uphold a questionable system?

I just hope this pointless move won’t bring down the wayback machine.

What was the pointless move you’re referring to?

Speaking of focus, would you happen to know of any papers or texts involved in attempting to study focus? Your mention of it got me thinking about that and realizing I’m not sure how much we grasp about focus as a cognitive process.

So simple tasks are fine, but when I need to think I’m gone.

Glad I’m not alone on this…Although I think the problem for me is I also take the time doing those simple tasks to think even more which is part of what inspired this question.

Now that you mention it, that might be a good approach for those trying to learn while busy, or trying to learn all the things while learning other things. 😅

What makes JavaScript so widely disliked? I know very little of it, and in skimming different stuff I think I’ve seen like a million different frameworks for it, so is that a part of it?

What is college? Is it employed for middle school or high school? If so then no.

It’s for post-high school education, also referred to as higher education in my area. Generally they’re synonymous with universities in that respect where I’m from, and while I’m sure there may be some slight difference between the two (probably more distinct in other areas), I don’t know what they are exactly.

But as someone who has gone on to do actual research at an academic level, I’d say the essential challenge of the task wasn’t even touched. Which is getting to the bottom of a question or field, exploring the material on said topic and then digesting and synthesising all of that. Some may hit this in undergrad depending on the degree, and it’s tricky work to do well and at an advanced level.

From what I’ve seen, the ideas and techniques required aren’t covered early on at all. Now it may be rather challenging at an early educational level, but I’d bet you it’s possible but undesirable because it’s hard to grade and takes a long time.

Without having gone on to do actual research, but with at least undergrad completed, I’m inclined to agree. Despite having completed undergrad, even it left me wondering a fair amount how much I’d just been a terrible student or how much my education had somehow managed to sort of gloss over or speed over rather critical research skills to develop.

Sure, I knew how to search for info and kind of weigh the sources, as some others have noted, but the more involved work like you describe? Not so much, and I’m fairly confident it was as much to do with the curriculum as it was to do with the limited time each class/course had to work with (plus accounting for the fact you’d also be muddling through multiple other classes/courses), which wouldn’t necessarily even permit for assignments that would have one digging in and really researching thoroughly.

Idk isn’t a public ledger of drug transactions kinda naff?

What if your hobbies & interests don’t lend themselves to meetups? I tend to have a lot of those that are more solitary in nature, which means others with them were probably drawn to them for similar reasons, being relatively content alone.

Up until they have that nagging feeling that they may benefit from socializing, anyway.
