I recommend using pen and paper and then digitizing later, assuming this is for notes. It will help you internalize the lecture or reading better in the moment and the act of digitizing your notes will reinforce your knowledge and provide you with better material for tests.
I think the only digital option that could come close to this would be an e-ink tablet but those kind of suck. Better to spend $50 on paper and pens than $500 on a tablet that isn’t as good for the purpose.
Good on you! I bet that is actually working out great. I should try something similar with another account.
That’s a good point
Audio nerds have a niche for this, they think (usually incorrectly) that they get better sound quality from dedicated digital media devices than from their phone with a $8 dongle.
But this is good news for you because it means people still make these things! Another commented mentioned Fiio, which is good. You might want to browse around AliExpress, as you will likely find many that are very reasonably priced.
Uh… I am the decider of what I identify as tired unfunny memes. Nothing wrong with that!
It is not elitist to reject unfunny garbage from Reddit brains
Having enough users for a community is important, I agree! I think that with the current size of Lemmy userbases, communities are often more like topic flags than self-sustaining niches.
Though to pick on Reddit, every time mods crack down on bots their subreddits decrease in posts and comments around tenfold. A lot of the engagement is fake. Mostly to boost numbers for financial reasons but they can also serve as a means of controlling behaviors and narratives.
The largest Lemmy instance is the most boring, full of unfunny memes and the worst Redditor culture. What you want is high quality postrs, not simply more people!
As Lenin said: better fewer, but better.
It is a war crime compounded on other war crimes. Perhaps the author is concerned about lawsuits.
When you can’t even call it a genocide of Gazans by Israel you should rethink whether you should even comment.
lmao the guy that has been a rabid zionist his entire career? The guy that helped manufacture consent for the War on Iraq, bringing in bullshitters to give testimony in the Senate? The guy that brought on and oversees people like Blinken and Miller?
Buddy there are no deals he just supports this genocide to the hilt. Stop making excuses for genociders. Start fighting them.
Re: “turning point”, Biden is senile and Dems are already doing Weekend and Bernie’s with the white house, including trotting Kamala all around whereas before she was doing typical background VP things. The Kamals that has been lockstep with this genocidal administration, whose DNC was nakedly Zionist, whose own VP just embraced Zionist Lebensraum.
If you want to see something different you must see these people and systems for what they are and become their true opponent.
The core thesis here is incorrect. Israelis are not apathetic, they are ethnic supremacist settler colonists. They get pissed off and demand more blood and domination of the colonized so that their feelings of superiority and security are completely guaranteed. They want more destruction of Gaza. Netanyahu’s approval ratings went up after invading and bombing Lebanon. They broke a rapist out of jail and paraded him around on TV, loudly announcing, literally, that this is okay because it is Israeli forces doing it to Palestinians.
The “liberal elite” mentioned by the author are part of this. They don’t just tolerate it, they are also the ones on the street. They aren’t apathetic, they are racist.
Imagine calling Southern whites “apathetic” because they supported Jim Crow violence but got upset about every (often false) accustom of violence on a white person by a black person. Imagine calling Southern Whites picnicking at a lynching “apathetic”.
The bloodthirsty supporter of genocide was secretly upset that it wasn’t bring carried out strategically enough. Then he sent billions of dollars in money, arms, logistics support, and surveillance.
Pushing a vote for a genocider is cheerleading. Your role is on the sidelines saying, “go team!” The feigned reluctance doesn’t change the role.
Speaking of “ever again”, have you ever heard the phrase, “never again”?
You should be against genocide.
C’mon bro just one more stock buyback bro just one more stimulus I’m good for it.
What about Ukraine?
First, under no circumstances should you support genocide. Stop trying to excuse genocide. Actually fight against it. You know that question, “what would you have done against the Holocaust?” Right now it would be, “fret about which Hitler to support and make excuses about how Jewish people would be killed anyways”.
Anyways.
The Biden-Harris administration’s policies on Ukraine are exacting maximum pain on the people of Ukraine, using them as a tool to hurt Russia. At every step of the way, only maximum pressure on Russia has been their consideration. So either accept that the most likely outcome of Trump there would be a deescalation or acknowledge that the motivation here is bloodlust.
Trump will hand over everyone in that country
Ukraine already lost. Its future has been mortgaged to western financial interests and it will not be regaining its lost territories. The people therr have been shelled by Kyiv’s far right forces (the ones with Nazi tattoos) for a decade, they aren’t sympathetic to Kyiv even if some territory were, under wild circumstances, returned. It was never plausible for Ukraine to win militarily. All of liberals’ talk about Ukraine is fantasy children’s tales that have nothing to do with reality.
Dragging out Ukraine is just forcing more death and disposession on the Ukrainian people.
while speeding up climate change with “drill baby drill”.
The Biden-Harris administration has set record levels of US fossil fuel production and is an exporter of oil and natural gas. Harris has publicly promised to support fracking, a tool that, when novel, Obama used as an international weapon to crash oil prices and hit targets of US empire - Venezuela, Russia, Iran.
Both parties are against the continued survival of humanity re: climate change, one of them just pretends otherwise, throwing money at a domestic renewables industry that largely just routes it to finance and tech rather than produxtive capacity. Oh, and continuing Trump’s trade war on China, which is currently threatening to end large swaths of the US solar industry as installations of new solar panels are waaaaay backed up.
As the world becomes less livable, more wars and genocide will fallow.
So get off your butt and start fighting the good fight! Cheerleading genocidal frackers definitely isn’t that.
Biden-Harris genocide is probably more harmful as it gets liberals to consent to it, both domestically and through more competent foreign policy maneuvers. Though even then they are pushing beyond what the NatSec should want.
Though really, I don’t think I should need to say or repeat this: you should oppose genocide. Attempting to lesser evil it is disgusting and, of course, very poor logic.
Harris, as in of the Biden-Harris administration, is complicit and toes the exact same line.
Don’t support genocide candidates.
“Hitler promises to improve concentration camp conditions”.
What point do you think you are making?
