Thank you for the citation. 4% is still incredibly low. After 9/11, more than 40% of Americans were against invading iraq. I am really surprised, but I could believe it. I didn't realize how polarised it was.
BTW your usage of [sic] here is astonishing. The asterisk alone would have sufficed. [sic] is for contexts where the reader might reasonably assume you made a transcription error when quoting them, not for errors in general.
Is it really as low as 2%?
Article says it's not that though; that dumping cocaine happens in Mexico and Florida but not Brazil.
It says the other quotas were suspended though
The article says more than half of jobs are reserved in quotas but later says only 30% are reserved in quotas.
Without Trump, who do the republicans have? De Santis? Nah. Martyr means nothing if there's no realistic second choice.
(Otherwise, the CIA wouldn't have bothered assassinating political candidates in south America)

the high seas have a comment section?
What is this news website? Why is the article 3 sentences long?
but we all have the right to be bothered by it :)
it seems the meaning has changed, but to be honest I don't know what the new meaning is.
in the Dawkins sense, sure. But the "meme" in "internet meme" has a more specific meaning.
Earplugs (in case a movie or concert etc. too loud)
Linux boot disk (I saved a friend's laptop this way once)
keys, phone (gross), credit card, ID, pads
The real problem is that the security model for apps on mobile is much better than that for apps on desktop. Desktop apps should all have private storage that no other non-root app can access. And while we're at it, they should have to ask permission before activating the mic or camera.
I use a completely blank opening page with a search bar on it.
How to increase engagement of cis women on Lemmy?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/16131303 [https://lemmy.ml/post/16131303] > Dug up their survey for it out of curiosity, you can find their original post here https://hexbear.net/post/2226865 [https://hexbear.net/post/2226865] > > Interesting note on cis women https://hexbear.net/comment/47...
In a poll on hexbear (see link), it was observed that there are very few cis women on Lemmy. I think this is the intersection of several problems:
- engagement of women on Reddit was always low
- fewer women in computer science
- I'm hesitant to recommend anything fediversy to people who don't tinker with computers like I do and thus might need a more handholdy UX.
I gather that transgender people tend to be more into CS, though I don't see why that explains entirely such an astonishing presence of the transgender community on Hexbear.
Anyway, I just thought I'd open the floor to brainstorming.
"Come hither, fool."

Eclipse-watchers: looking at 99.9% totality is unsafe!
On April 8, 2024, part of Canada will observe a total solar eclipse. When the Moon aligns perfectly between Earth and the Sun, many spectators will be plunged into temporary darkness.
Safety tips:
- Only use special eclipse glasses; regular sunglasses aren't safe
- Wait for 100% totality before taking off your eclipse glasses. (If you don't have eclipse glasses, wait for totality before looking at all)
- Have a timer prepared on your phone set to the duration of the eclipse at your location, so you know when to put your glasses back on.
- When the sun is mostly (but not fully) eclipsed, it will likely not feel painful to look at it, but it will still damage your eyes permanently.
