Advocates for the use of trigger warnings suggest that they can help people avoid or emotionally prepare for encountering content related to a past trauma. But trigger warnings may not fulfill either of these functions, according to an analysis published in Clinical Psychological Science.
Then how did these traumatised people ever watch the news on TV or read a newspaper where there are no CWs? How did they take part in discussions on Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc.? And how are they supposed to work through their trauma when they never get confronted with it?
If they are okay with “some things”, they’d have to open each article behind a very generic CW-description anyways. What’s the purpose of the CW then?
I’m sorry, but if somebody decides to browse their pr0n and scat alts while they’re at work and/or eating… that’s on them.
Your rhetoric reeks of alt-right, I guess you’re “inconvenienced” by reserved parking spots, and for inclusive language, and want to “get rid of them” too?
And this is how you demonstrate that you’re not interested in continuing this discussion. Thanks for the entertainment, though. :)
That’s stupid. Those pixels on a screen can’t hurt anyone. And if you think otherwise, you should seek professional help instead of expecting from everyone else to adjust to your mental issues.
Why do these snowflakes just not filter the content like normal people? Most apps support this. Why does everybody else have to click away the CW just because a minuscule fraction of people might get irritated?
So, you’re saying these traumatised people need to find ways to manage public TV and newspapers, but on Mastodon everybody else is supposed to accommodate for them and add CWs?
Again, the people that might(!) profit from the CWs are a minuscule amount compared to the people inconvenienced by them. And, as the linked study explains, they even seem to make things worse. So my point is: Just get rid of them. According to that study, that might even be beneficial to these traumatised people.

In a collaborative effort, Apple and Google have developed an industry-standard detection feature called “Detecting Unwanted Location Trackers” (DULT) for Bluetooth trackers. This standard allows users on iOS and Android devices to be alerted if an unknown Bluetooth tracker is monitoring their location.
No, they were trying to ban them (from checked luggage) because they are powered by a “Lithium” battery and airlines confused them with Lithium-Ion batteries. The latter ones are indeed forbidden in checked luggage.
No, that’s stupid. They don’t get anything from keeping that from you. And the main source of frustration comes from luggage handlers that are usually employed by the airports and not the airlines.
When they don’t give a damn, you won’t get your luggage. Like in this video where they insisted the luggage is still at a different airport. Because that’s what the computer said. And nobody looked for themselves which would’ve easily shown that somebody clearly forgot to do the arrival scan.
For me it’s the other way around. In Check_MK I was constantly writing new custom checks and it was all manual code and overall felt like Nagios on steroids (what it was back then) - just not in a good way.
In Zabbix you can do everything in the UI without messing around in the file system. And things like translating SNMP results to readable text works throughout the system without having to include a Python file and then call it from within your various other checks. All the alerting logic can be clicked together and easily amended in the UI. It’s so much more comfortable once you’ve figured it out.
You know you can basically implement Healthchecks.io completely in Zabbix using zabbix-sender or any compatible implementation of it? (Or find a better way, e.g. querying the timestamp of a logfile or even check the logfile for “OK” or “ERROR” lines… lots of ways possible.)
But these 3 are all about metrics, right? While they’re great to monitor and analyse numbers (ping times, disk space, memory, etc.), they aren’t that great with e.g. plaintext error messages in log files. That’s how I remember it from a few years ago, at least.
The episode starts with the Doctor stepping into a fairy circle, causing him to vanish and locking the Tardis. I’m not a huge fan of this season’s “magic is real” vibe, but so far it tracks....
Let me add the “teleporting” stuff during the train ride. Also, what determines in which direction the blurry woman appears? And why didn’t Ruby - in all those years - not try to throw a stone or a bottle after her - just to see what happens? And if that scary lady really was “old Ruby”, how did she endure days/weeks/years outside in the rain?
Thinking about this, when Ruby was pacing around inside the pub while the other guy went outside… that blurry lady must’ve floated around - always keeping exactly 73 yards distance from Ruby, right?
And how did the “scary” stuff even work with the trained UNIT elite professionals that were explicitly briefed to “not make eye contact, don’t listen to anything”, etc.? And it even worked via radio with Kate, the snipers, etc… And suddenly, Kate wasn’t even interested in the location of the TARDIS anymore? Nor did this head(!) of UNIT say anything at all about WHY she was abandoning Ruby.
Oh, and why did the PM abandon all his plans for buying WMDs and stuff when all other people that had contact with the blurry lady just abandoned Ruby? Where’s the connection here? It clearly wasn’t the reason for the blurry lady as she was still there afterwards.
Also what is it with The Doctor stepping on things? Didn’t the fucking landmine teach him to watch his steps?
This episode was a mess IMHO. Like a fever dream - just that it was never suggested it was one.
I’ve had people tell me that the woman stays at 73 Yards because that’s the range of the TARDIS’ perception filter, but if that has ever been mentioned on the show, I’ve missed that little tidbit.
Kate mentions this at the café as the distance where a person with 20/20 vision can’t make out any facial details anymore. But there never was mentioned any relation to the TARDIS perception filter.
Similar here. As I don’t need multi-user support, I don’t bother with self-hosting some tool.
Bookmarks go to Safari where they’re synced between all my Apple devices and pop up automatically in the address bar.
And long-term bookmarks (news articles, references, etc.) go into Anybox which keeps an offline copy of the website so I can still read it in 10-20 years.
