What’s push to talk and why is it such a great feature?

People tend to go where they have connections like friends or family members who are already there; or they are more familiar with the local language/customs. Basically, they believe that their integration into the system of their final destination will be smoother for some type is social reason.

The reality is that they likely didn’t enter Europe in France, and they never had the intention of stopping there.

This is obviously a very contentious issue, because, as you correctly point out, there is no objective reason to think a refugee would be safer in the UK than in France. So the anti immigration types will keep using this as their reasoning.

That sounds like a good thing.

I must admit that I can’t think of any examples of this ever being a problem though. It might also be because I’m just so used to crappy software breaking things that I’ve just come to accept it as normal

Given other comments in this thread and the reactions I’ve seen on mastodon, people are freaking out, but I just don’t understand why. Can someone more intelligent please take the time to ELI5?

Falls in line with the lizardman constant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slate_Star_Codex#Lizardman’s_Constant

That was a very long article, so for anyone too lazy to click, here is the bit you’re probably interested in:

But enough of all that vomit-inducing background on the Proud Boys. I’ll leave you with this. For all their hatred of marginalized groups and especially in consideration of all the vicious transphobic and homophobic attacks by its founder, Gavin McInnes, I’m still trying to figure out how he so readily, and more importantly – easily slid a big black dildo up his own a**, live on his internet talk show? McInnes deemed the moment as “owning the libs.”

Unpopular opinion: he’s pretty decent at it.

I’m not an asshole, so I don’t even think of committing the crimes he’s done, but I’m sure if I tried, I’d be in jail faster than a blink of an eye.

The fact that he’s managed to do this repeatedly over the course of decades, out in the open where everyone is aware of it, and still only getting a slap on the wrist?

I’d say he’s a pretty good crime guy

I’ve also had some decent luck when using a new/unfamiliar language by asking it to make the code I wrote more idiomatic.

It’s been a nice way to learn some tricks I probably wouldn’t have bothered with before

Obama famously used twitter in his first election campaign to create effect. In the brief moment when I had an account, he was my only follower

Have they? Do you have any examples? I’d love to see them talk shit about him

Definitely an american thing. I always find it annoying when I travel there. Also, bringing the bill with desert. Let me finish my meal first before giving me hints to get the fuck out

I don’t run as root because I’ve always been told I shouldn’t. I don’t know enough about anything to be contradicting stuff like this. It has always seemed weird to me that we don’t run as root and then just sudo everything, though.

What is the reason we don’t run as root?
