I’m sorry but really don’t understand what you’re saying. Are you saying they’re ruining things by turning down a threesome because they’re not into it?

Tbh, it sounds like she did try her best to clarify by mentioning her boyfriend before they actually went to the destination.

She mentioned it pretty much last minute on the day they were supposed to go. We don’t know the full circumstances and I get that you’re trying to see it in the best light but the situation was far from optimal. Best moment to ask would’ve been before agreeing, so whether purposefully or just because she didn’t realize, that’s where her error happened. Not to say that the guy couldn’t have clarified it was a date.

I was thinking more when he’s asking about going hiking. At that point it would probably be good for both, either side to make sure what the expectations are.

Of course if you start off right away with “I HAVE A BOYFRIEND” then that won’t be looked at very favourably lol

Not necessarily but very commonly it is. Especially if you keep at it. It’s just something to keep in mind if you do it knowingly. She might’ve not realized.

Someone just being into something doesn’t make me feel like they’re missing out. Not everyone likes the same things.

She could’ve been trying to make a friend and it was all an unfortunate misunderstanding. Both having been a bit more forward about things could’ve helped.

Why would you feel sorry for people not being into it?

If it was accidentally (she didn’t realize) then could be just an unfortunate misunderstanding.

For all we know she might’ve been stringing him along. Story doesn’t say either way.

Most people just aren’t into that

If everyone else thought she was flirting then I think it makes the situation a bit more complicated

We did it Lemmy!

I was thinking of a law wording it as someone professional and/or respectable and they had to figure out a list so it wouldn’t be as arbitrary and up to whoever was judging the application

Makes me think how PS2 had export restrictions because “its graphics chip is sufficiently powerful to control missiles equipped with terrain reading navigation systems”

Your friend wants to spoom you

I’m not too familiar with whatever Android is doing with apks these days tbh. I just don’t like how AppImages fails at the one thing it should do (universality) and doesn’t have the repo model built in. You can have third party solutions to that but it’s just not the same experience.

Why not containerise everything? You need libreoffice? No problem, here is a docker or podman container.

I’ve heard people suggest such a solution. Everything is a container and stuff is just exported out so that it shows up to the system like a normal program. Can’t really say I’m the right person to judge the pros and cons.

There is always another pack installed, freecode, gtk, qt whatever. Even if the system has already the correct gtk version, nope, the dev decided to use the gtk image from Ubuntu.

It can be both good and bad and sometimes it’s necessary. The whole system relies on being able to use different versions of libraries. But having them as separate packs can help in that programs can share those packs so as a dev you can just target one common base and have your stuff work everywhere. And sharing those runtimes has the benefit of someone else keeping it up to date while you can just test if the updated version works for you and switch to that if it does and so on. And with deduplication, runtimes and stuff share the parts that are common to both afaik.

It’s a bit more complicated than just shoving everything in but also it’s less work than same thing having to be packaged separately for every distro.

democracy-like privileges

I mean it’s not like we haven’t fought for those. Can’t expect someone to just give you these privileges. But more to the point, when I think of democracy it’s all those things that make up the whole. Citizen participation, citizen ability to affect things, free and fair elections, freedom of the press and so on. And I don’t mean those as absolute terms yes/no but rather as sliders that you’d use to gauge not if a country was straight up democratic or not but rather how democratic/how not democratic it is. And I’d say Finland is far enough into the democratic side that I’d say we do have democracy here.

But tell me this… how many of the corporations Finnish people work for is democratically run?

I mean a very significant chunk of workforce and economy works through cooperatives. And those have elections. Our biggest chain of shops is a cooperative, one of the biggest banks is also, there’s energy and forestry and so on. Out of 5,5 million people over 4 million are members of a cooperative. So not sure how many that’s numerically out of all corporations but when you consider the size and impact of them, it’s a big portion. Of course there’s the factor that we’re also heavily unionized and unions have both a very strong foothold and legal status. And those have elections ofc. But it’s different from cooperatives where you vote for stuff, if that’s what you were asking about.

It’s all just the sort of stuff I’d say made up democracy. Saying there’s nothing democratic about Finland just feels weird and wrong. If we have nothing democratic, who does??

Yes, the actual news is the opposite of what the title made me think

Better cli experience and the permission prompts are two that come to mind.
