I’m just wondering if it would actually stop people acting this way though.

Not all of them, there a few different types of bullies but I would say the majority of them are just weak people that like to focus their frustration on other persons they don't think could get them into trouble (either by replying or by being able to make them pay in any way). And by dressing differently you're sending a message they can read as an opportunity to bully you with little risk.

But then it depends who they are, other bullies won't change at all because you change your look.

I don’t know wtf is happening I’m so sick of it cause it happens way too often I just want to go outside without being treated like garbage for 2 seconds

Not knowing you nor what's happening exactly, I can at least say I feel for you and understand your frustration. Those kind of things should not be happening in a functional society.

What may help is try spending your time in other places. I live in Paris, it's really far from being the worst city in the world and if most Parisians are indeed constantly angry people, they rarely bite. Still there are some sectors I will try not to spend too much time in, some where I would not put out any cash, and so on. I know it can be a pain but changing habits can help.

Reading the title, I wondered for an instant in what way body temperature was related to being bullied or not.

I imagine being 'hot' can help not being annoyed by bullies (they could be somehow intimidated)... but then being 'hot' one would probably be annoyed by admirers or wannabe friends or just plain wankers. Would that really be better? I'm not sure.

I'm not hot and I'm old-ish, and I also don't give a crap about bullies—I never hesitate to more or less nicely tell a bully to go fuck themselves when I have to—so I may not be the best informed ;)

Depends what you need. Even more so in a spreadsheet have I been told by my spouse (she is using advanced XL features a lot in her job). It also depends on what OS it's installed. I find it worse on macOS (much less well integrated) and real excellent on Linux.

I quite like using LO Writer as it's easy to set it up once and for all and have it behave exactly like I want it to be, including the very few extensions I use. Once configured, it's then very easy to backup all settings for quick re-installation or even to copy them onto another machine. It's also great to use different profiles for different pen names (ie having different dictionaries, rules, shortcuts,... depending the type of content one is working on) :)

I much prefer Writer's management of styles compared to MS Word too. I just think it's better... but it still is not perfect.

Depending your specific needs Writer may lack a few advanced stuff (stuff I'm confident 99% users will never use). I also don't like how keyboard shortcuts are managed as you can't really modify them freely but at least once can change them.

I will always make sure to install whatever the latest version is (the one installed with my distro always lags behind) as each update brings its fair share of improvements and bug corrections.

For writing, I use two different 'workspace': VSCodium (+Markdown and Hugo) for blogging, and LO Writer for anything longer. I consider both apps very reliable tools. I also like how I can easily tweak them to fit my needs and preferences.

I would not want to go back to using Word even though I never was a hater of Word. I started using Word in the 90s and I've been using it without any serious issue or drama up until I switched to Linux and LO a few years ago. Heck, I even managed to keep working with files I created back in the 90s without any difficulty, despite MSWord few format changes.

I unplug as often as I'm able to. So, it's not like I need a dedicated day, but if it helps people learn to disconnect, why not but isn't it a bit too late to announce it?

A singer is a singer. Some singers are writers, musicians, and even producers too. They're all singers as long as they sing—I think it's worse precising that since more and more singers are now... digitally enhanced and unable to, well, sing, without that digital assistance.

That's how I see it ;)

Je dois dire que ça m'a surpris ce sursaut d'actvité (et pas en mal, hein ;)

All gains from the last 3 years have been erased. Actually the first time they reached this price was in januari 2021.

Does it matter? It's a noob question here, as I'm not sure to understand what you want to say and if that matter the first time it was at a certain price. I would have thought the last time was what mattered.

I just checked the graph (i don't much stock, so I need to check data ;) and to me it looks like Tesla is down to its Oct/November 24 (not 2021) price which is already an impressive drop (and it looks it will keep going down today too). But it also has been at that level more than a few time since 2021. And reached much lower in early 2023, somewhere in the 100-120, and at 175 in May 2024

What's interesting looking at the graph is to see how often those lows are followed by a bounce... I would be curious to see how much more it will go down (and for how long) before it bounces again... If I had a Cristal ball I would be rich, I suppose :p

J'avais vu l'info sur la chaine de Louis Rossman. Ma Brother ne se mettant pas à jour toute seule, je n'ai pas vu de raison de m'iqnuiéter à court terme.

Par contre, je me suis dit que ce serait peut-être bien la dernière imprimante que j'achèterais, parce si que Brother se décidait à vraiment sauter le pas il ne resterait plus personne (plus personne de facilement accessible) chez qui acheter une imprimante qui n'essaye d'entuber son "propriétaire".

Are there some good stores with ease of use that’s similar to the Amazon’s one? Buy a book, send it to device, done. Or do I need to accept, that I will need to somehow convert books before using them?

You better be ready to accept that as, to the best of my knowledge no one but Amazon sells DRM-protected ebooks that works on the Kindle.

You can fin DRM-free ebooks that for now you can still upload on a Kindle, but seeing how Amazon has started removing features (like the ability to download your purchased ebooks and transfer them trhough USB), I would not bet this option will be there forever.

Passé sur Waterfox qui est donc en phase de test pour quelques semaines. Pour l'instant, c'est plutôt très bien. Edit: mais ça me fait un petit quelque chose, j'ai toujours utilisé FF et ça remonte jusqu'à l'époque de son lointain ancêtre Mosaic ;)

J'ai toujours Vivaldi (et Brave) côté Chromium, mais le Web sans le véritable uBO pour filtrer toutes leurs cochonneries, je peux/veux juste pas ;)

Oh, I did not get that. That's an interesting idea. Would still need to solve the 'where' do I post (which for many seems to also mean 'to what Instance do I belong'), and then how do one moderate content from various communities, from posters that may or may not adhere to one's own rules. It won't be obvious but I would be more than willing to see something like being experimented, even if it's to decide it's too complex, it seems worth at least an attempt, imho.
