There used to be a game in the 90’s where you punch Bill Gates in the face.

Ha, I never knew this had an actual name.

I thought it was known as talking to a brick wall, ie. if you have a issue talk to a brick wall and you’ll get the answer

Same thing but put slightly differently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4K5fbQ1-zps

So just to help a little bit without getting too technical…

df -h is your friend to find out which physical drive or partition relates to which directory (called the “mount point”)

If you want, you can set up each drive/partition to be mounted a bit Windows-esque.

For example:

• Drive 1, partition 1 will almost certainly be root /
• But drive 1, partition 2 can be mounted to: /mnt/d/
• And then drive 1, partition 3 can be mounted to: /mnt/e/

And so on.

You’ll need to look up fstab to understand how to do that.

I understand it’s tricky to get your head around initially as I felt exactly the same coming from Windows to Linux.

Once you get your head around partitions being able to be mounted anywhere, it actually becomes really handy

new funding for a confidential service to provide prevention therapy to potential offenders before they commit that horrid act against a child.

THIS.

I would recommend watching “Louis Theroux - Among the sex offenders” to get a better understanding of the lack of treatment available for people who don’t want to offend but feel compelled. Some of them are crying out for treatment!

Not yet! But you can make a difference to that… https://yacy.net/

/s right? … right??

From the article / post: " The soldier who fired the shots describes entering the home and encountering only one unarmed Palestinian, gesturing and saying, ‘No, no.’ "

He openly admits to shooting an unarmed Palestinian man.

Ohh, I see! Thanks for replying. I often forget about ChatGPT as an alternative

Honest question: what happened to Stack Overflow? I still get answers from it. Have I missed some incident??

I would really recommend the documentary Navalny:

I knew almost nothing about the guy prior to watching it, and what happens to him is fascinating. He’s not perfect but I do believe what he says and he really wanted a better Russia. The balls on this guy!!

I mean I’m not sure what you can do other than name and shame the restaurant, and/or boycott it

I used to find these kind of stories funny, but these days I just wonder how desperate must someone be to do this.
What’s going on in their life that they’ve ended up doing this and their next stop is prison?

Israelis deserve peace, and Palestinians definitely deserve better

Absolutely with you!

But it is their responsibility as a people to make their situation better.

Ok, hang on…

What do you mean by this? Whose responsibility? Palestinians? They have a responsibility to improve their situation…

Israel is an occupying force. Surely Israeli forces and settlers should leave occupied West Bank to start with. Then there can be a discussion about how Palestinians can improve their situation.

Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! And thanks for offering to answer more questions.

I’m working with two other people doing research, so I’ll pass this on to them and let you know what they think.

Massive thanks again!

No Stupid Questions… I’ll update the post :)

Hello!

What kind of researcher posts a five-question-questionnaire on Lemmy?

I’m not a professional researcher or anything, just someone looking to do research in this area. I thought there might be people on Lemmy who wanted to share their story or experiences.

Who are you and who employs you? What is your agenda?

I am cman6. I’m not comfortable disclosing person information about my employer. I stated my agenda… “The research project we are working on is looking into all aspects of food banks from someone deciding to donate, to storing the donations, to people receiving them, and seeing if there is some way to improve what is being donated and/or the quantities.”

Is this an undergraduate thesis?

Nope

Where else did you post your questionnaire? Are you accounting for selection bias?

This is the only place I’ve posted it so far. I’m not concerned about selection bias to be honest, although I am aware of it. I’m just looking for anecdotal information.

Why do you not use a questionnaire service like survey monkey?

I just thought this would be faster. Plus I wanted to keep things informal.

These are all yes/no questions and no questions regarding background, sex, age, income, etc. What kind of conclusions do you think you will be able to draw from that?

Well I don’t have any experience going to a food bank so I was hoping to gather a general idea of what that might be like.

Cheers!
