    Ist 'schenkenfreude'
    1) selbsterklärend?
    2) lustig?

    (Die Frage ist: was kriegt man, wenn man ein Geschenk anonym an Fremden gibt?)

    @alexandra @carcinopithecus you're talking about this survivorship bias example, right? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias (bomber example)

    I don't quite get the link, but would like to!

    1. Survivorship bias
      Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on the people or things that made it past some selection process and overlooking those that did not, typically because of their lack of visibility. This can lead to some false conclusions in several different ways. It is a form of selection bias. Survivorship bias can lead to overly optimistic beliefs because failures are ignored, such as when companies that no longer exist are excluded from analyses of financial performance. It can also lead to the false belief that the successes in a group have some special property, rather than just coincidence (correlation "proves" causality). For example, if three of the five students with the best college grades went to the same high school, that can lead one to believe that the high school must offer an excellent education when, in fact, it may be just a much larger school instead. This can be better understood by looking at the grades of all the other students from that high school, not just the ones who made the top-five selection process. Another kind of survivorship bias would involve thinking that an incident was not all that dangerous...

    talked to someone the other day, who after years of using linux, bought a macbook

    without judgement, i sympathized that it must be nice to have a machine that 'always works'

    they told me that they actually face roughly as many issues as they did using linux! however, now when they face an issue, they know there is *nothing they can do*, so they just move on

    Anyone got advice on organizing your (#linux) filesystem? Naming conventions, etc?

    In the last week I've started moving my calendars 📆 , contacts 👫 and email ✉️ off of Google

    It really feels like coming to the end of an abusive relationship 💔 It was worse than I liked to admit, and it's easier to leave than I thought 👋

    Thanks so much to the #Nextcloud, #Thunderbird, #Dav5X and #LineageOS people for making this possible! And thanks to my techie buddies who helped me out. Look to your local hacklab for help if you need it! You can do it!

    #ExtinctionRebellion session @ #35c3 is FULL! One third of the people sitting on the floor 😂

    Amazing to see a room full of hackers excited to join the cause. There's enthusiasm to help non-techy people switch to #signal, #mastodon & #nextcloud ⚡ 💻 🌐

    Ah, now I get it... #solarPunk is like #steamPunk, except powered by Sun, not coal. Cool, I'm into it!
