I'm not an Apple user but I've heard good things about the Alfred launcher on MacOS.

I disagree, I think it definitely is a political statement.

However, kicking someone out for "politics" at a sports game, where you need to stand for national anthems and 75% of the time they'll make you "honour" some random veteran is ironic and pretty disgusting.

I don't think anyone should be bothered by political clothing at a baseball game unless said politics are actively hateful, which "Canada is not for sale" is quite obviously not.

I just took an edible and it's starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.

looks like their product is intended to feel as close to Microsoft as possible

Maybe that's why they picked a name really easy to mistake for another office software suite, to mimic Microsoft's atrocious naming schemes :P

blind brothers and sisters

No gender-neutral language for our non-binary siblings? For shame, comrade.

This comment reminded me, I have met some people who played in a French/German improv league (LIBER). They're based in Berlin and perform in both French and German. I'm not sure how they incorporate both languages, but I believe it's just a free-for-all, speak what you want, answer in whatever type situation.

Je ne m'attendais pas de voir un thread au sujet de l'impro sur Lemmy!

The improv match format you're referring to is ~~pretty much exclusively~~ mostly a thing in the Francophone scene. L'impro-match, or l'improvisation gravelienne, or l'impro style LNI started in the 70s' in Québec out of the experimental theatre scene in Montréal, before spreading to other French-speaking countries.

The closest I've found on the Anglo side of things is stuff like theatresports or the Canadian Improv Games. There are similarities but the hockey theming is absent and the formats vary in multiple ways.

EDIT: I found this improv league in Spanish in Argentina who follow the same format with a direct link to the OG Ligue Nationale d'Improvisation. Like I mentioned in a reply to another comment here, there's also LIBER in Berlin, who play in both French and German. When the referee reads the theme card, they specify if the improv will be in French, German, or a mix of both.

Facts in and of themselves aren't biased. Bias is introduced when you consider which facts get broadcast, and which don't. The context in which facts are stated also adds bias. I think that bias is fundamentally inherent to humanity.

You're probably right about people ignoring bias markers, but I was thinking more "incorporating your bias consciously, rather than subconsciously, throughout the article" instead of a bio or blurb at the top.

Here's the link on Github. It doesn't seem to be on the main F-Droid repo, only IzzyOnDroid's, so I don't know why the other commenter tried to link to it on the main repo.

Crocs. Actual Crocs ^TM^ are like walking on a cloud of happiness; knock-offs are like walking with shoes made of dried-up old chewing gum.

I think this is part of a larger issue, in which people, even a lot of journalists I know, see news media as this bastion of neutrality and facts. It's a noble goal, which I do think journalists should pursue, but in reality any news publication will have biases. Even just which news you decide to highlight can bring up bias, let alone the actual things you write about the news.

Things would be a lot better if every journalist, whether right-wing, left-wing, or centrist, were upfront about their views and how the environment they're in shapes them. Bias is unavoidable, but being upfront about your biases can at least properly frame your views.

 

Feel free to post any questions about psychedelics, trip reports, and any relevant memes! Make of this community what you wish to see :)

 

Cycling communities were one of my favourite parts of reddit, and I've been unable to find any equivalents on here so I decided to start this community. Feel free to post and comment about anything related to cycling! I'd love for this place to continue in the spirit of /r/xbiking, not necessarily content-wise but definitely attitude-wise. We're all cyclists, and at the end of the day the only criteria for being a part of this community is riding a bicycle (and enjoying it!)

Please comment any suggestions you have for this space, or simply say hi and let us know what you like to do on your bike!

 

This looks really fun!

 

(Are dumb memes allowed here? Should we have two separate communities, one for news/politics and one for memes, or is this corner of the fediverse still too small for that right now?)
