/s (you probably meant she*)

Nope it’s me that doesn’t care more about this than you!

The world is such a sad place to live. This comes from USA, just think about all the third world countries, it’s not any better but worse sadly.

“I was at house eating dorito when phone ring”

Unless you could link a credible source it’s hard to accept this as anything more than a mere opinion

There’s very less evidence to support that. I can only recall one incident where a blanket infected with small pox was handed out to a tribe and the officer who did that was later severely reprimanded.

But anyhow, I am not trying to downplay the ill intent of European settlers, I will just quote this here “history is written by victors”. The blanket incident is all I recall about deliberate disease spreading. who really knows? How many hundreds of such incidents went unreported?

To be fair more people died from the diseases brought by the settlers.

Reminds me of the songs from “the hobbit”. Ah the nostalgia!

Is this an online quiz? I wanna take it

Yeah that’s totally not a worse death.

When you think about it, it really did change the world for almost a century. It lead to ww1 which sowed the seeds for ww2 and when that came to end, communism had been strengthened enough by stalin capatalizing under the pretence of a nazi free Europe.

Unpopular opinion: it’s more of a coping mechanism for the third world countries.

Sure UK and much of Europe had big and terrible colonies but there were still many like sweden and norway which did not. Thus the assertion that developed countries all have built upon exploitation is not entirely true

Assertion 2: countries such as china have shown that economic development is possible when you have a terrible history of war, destruction or otherwise poor economic background. Sure personal freedom is a joke in China but to say it isn’t an economic giant is false. Poland after ww2 is another example, much of their intellects were killed and warsaw was everything but ruins at the end of 1945

Assertion 3: geography, the age groups of the people and culture all affect the development of a nation much more than their history from 80 years ago.

- from someone who has keen interest in history and lives in a third world country and seen corruption, bribery and every form of idiotic economic decision that a government can make to not let the country be a better place.

I was actually refering to the headline in the picture but yeah this is an interesting piece of information too, I know the post’s title was sarcastic but didn’t know it was such a thoughtful joke haha

I have never contributed directly to open source, perhaps because I have never felt truly confident about my programming skills. But I have always done all that I can - starring repos I like, helping beginners with linux related issues, contributing to discussions in forums, promoting foss in a friendly way wherever I can and leaving feedback and reports wherever I can.

I guess it’s something Yet I find my mind wandering sometimes If I am contributing enough.

Right, it makes sense to me now. The double “as” was definitely confusing, but “identified” instead of “named” immediately made the sentence clear. Thanks.

Is it me or the headline is worded strangely?

For semantic reasons.

Each element in HTML should correspond to a proper semantic element. For example, navigation elements should go within <nav>. Elements like <center> are remanants of the good ol days when css wasn’t mature enough and you’d add color to an element via attributes. Obviously, center has no semantic meaning and pretty much useless in web dev now. It hasn’t been removed but deprecated.

These are "should"s and not "must"s. This is why divs exist because many times it’s hard to decide what semantic meaning a piece of content has, so divs are just generic components when you can’t think of an better semantic tag.</center></nav>

Ah yes enslaved chromium

Ah yes good old <center> </center> times. by the way, yes it exists

I have never been more sad to waste 30 seconds of my life to a spam ad trying to understand it if it was a hidden meme :(
