@viv@toot.site #KDEConnect really is an awesome technology.

Once upon a time someone pointed me at a reddit post with some great custom scripts. Not sure if this was it, but looks to be in a similar vein:

@climagic #Octave is my goto for data analysis. I had a Prof that wrote the MatLab section of a textbook and he ran an after hours class on MatLab, got some really good free training out of it.

@DissidentKitty@sunbeam.city i can't tell if my inferometer is broken. These are the same in that the prejudices precipitate the observed inequalities?

@lashman `!gif head exploding` some new concepts for me that weren't discussed in civics classes. Thanks for sharing!

@lashman the upshot of the #IowaCaucus debacle is it was an educational experience. At what point do you think it's a good idea for a coin flip to have more voice than a voter? If the coin flip lands on the edge do the tied delegate groups do a tug-of-war?

How is that better than ranked choice voting and letting the popular vote stand? I think it's clear that caucuses, like the electoral college, are an outdated idea. One person, one vote-unless your face is minted on a quarter.

Ian Bremmer projects #IowaCaucus debacle on 2020 election with warning that not knowing the winner for months could put the stock market in real turmoil.

3% growth target? I thought #Trump promised at least 4% with expectations that the US could do more. Let's not forget that while we near full employment, it isn't accounting for the underemployed or the record low work force participation.

All he's managed is tax cuts for the wealthy. Rx prices and swamp draining took backseat to golf outtings. Interestingly, evidence suggests time spent playing golf correlates with poor CEO performance.

@immychan re conjugation: I get the conjugation idea. I would point out that you is both singular and plural but usage does not affect conjugation.

I could see an arguement for conjugation preventing excess words like "you all". So maybe different conjugation is a good idea.

Edit: i couldn't live with it spelled wrong five times (all the same, but still wrong)

@ChrisTalleras@mastodon.art thank you for bringing so much art to my feed. Please keep up the good work. All I can respond with is not #mastoart but still worth a looksee

@immychan I saw a video a while back that says that they was a gender neutral singular pronoun until the 1700s when Robert Lowth replaced they with he in his prescriptive grammer book that went on to be popular with social elites. According to wiki, they is the same jerk that said not to end a sentence with a preposition. So their opinion sucks. And their grave, I hope they're rolling in.

#Biden is right, IA caucuses don't mean anything about his electability. He's not a viable candidate and yet he's still on the board.

@papush@niu.moe @mewmew @immychan as I usually only use youtube on phone it's New Pipe for me. Youtube makes a change and New Pipe stops working? Moar free time 🙃😕
