Personally I disagree on value of sex/nude scenes – but it's a subjective matter of course. Your final argument is absolutely fair and logical, and very general too. Extremely well put – I subscribe 110% to it!

It's utter bullshit from the very start. First, it isn't true that the Ricci curvature can be written as they do in eqn (1). Second, in eqn (2) the Einstein tensor (middle term) cannot be replaced by the Ricci tensor (right-hand term), unless the Ricci scalar ("R") is zero, which only happens when there's no energy. They nonchalantly do that replacement without even a hint of explanation.
Elsevier and ScienceDirect should feel ashamed. They can go f**k themselves.
It seems to me these scenes are introduced in films to sexualize them. Most often than not they don't add anything to the story. But blood & sex get more viewers. So I find the whole thing hypocritical.
Brings me to mind an episode of the hilarious series "Coupling", where Jeff says that the actress in the film "The Piano" (?) was naked in the whole film. His friends say she wasn't, it was only a scene in the film. And Jeff replies "it depends on how you watch it" 🤣
Agree 110%! It's sad because it pushes back those people who were curious about alternatives and were willing to try. Hopefully things will improve with time...
I've tried different clients: Element web, desktop, and android, and FluffyChat desktop and android. The problems seems to come, as other have written, when the matrix.org server is involved: it's people from their handle there which experience glitches joining rooms in other servers. It seems this "part" of the fediverse still needs a lot of development.
Looks very promising! thank you for sharing. Seems worth trying and supporting.
I didn't know about !matrix, cheers!!
Which can be further summarized: academics (🙋🏻) are basically a bunch of idiotic sheep, despite being in academia.

Fantastic, this is extremely helpful, thank you! 🥇 I wanted to test a couple of distros for my Thinkpad, and I'll make sure to check and save this kind of information from live USBs.
Thank you, that's useful info, I didn't know about this. Could you be so kind to share some link, or say something more, about lspci and lsmod and how to proceed from them to identifying which drivers one should install? Cheers!
Completely agree. Indeed it seems that they still try to bake its main theme in all the new soundtracks. I still listen to it every morning to get my energy charge!
I mostly follow communities I'm subscribed to. Ideally I'd like to see when a new post is published, and also when new comments appear in already published posts.
The first correspond to "New" sorting; the second to "New comments". But at present it seems that the two cannot be combined. "Active" and "Hot" do not quite achieve this.
Is there any sort setting which would satisfy my criteria? Or will one available in the future?
Please let me know if this isn't the right community for this question – apologies in case!

!english@lemmy.ca: A community to discuss and ask questions about English usage and grammar.
Surprisingly I haven't found a community like this in the Fediverse, except for !english_esl@lemmy.ml, which has a somewhat different purpose.
Fully agree.
It's worth posting the blog post you linked.
