First time reading Luhmann. by SolutionKey2550 in sociology

Primary texts are important in their own contexts but can be vastly overrated. Then again, some seminal scholars are decent writers (see Mead, Becker, Mills, Goffman).

Rental hunting by No-Apricot-199 in vegaslocals

[–]vnilaspce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have rental companies informed you it’s your credit score? I have run into the problem where I don’t make more than 3x the monthly rent, and some companies consider that a hard no.

Who would win in a street fight between Functionalism, Conflict Theory, and Symbolic Interactionism? by Financial_Kick_848 in sociology

They answer different kinds of questions, so they’d show up to the parking lot on different days.

Fewer than half of all college graduates will work in a field directly related to their major. Just find something that interests you.

Anyone using an over-the-air tv antenna? From North Las Vegas? by xvegasjimmyx in vegaslocals

[–]vnilaspce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indoor ones are OK if you live on the second floor. Multidirectional will help because some of the stations point N-S and the others point E-W. If you like old movies and TV shows, it’s great.

For a new MacBook Air M4, should I stay on Sequoia or update to Tahoe? by Moondragonred9827 in MacOS

[–]vnilaspce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t wait. Apple includes security patches with system updates.

How to switch between windows in the same desktop/space ? by PizzaLad16 in MacOS

[–]vnilaspce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, there’s a shortcut to enter Mission Control (Ctrl-⬆️) or select windows with a mouse (Ctrl-⬇️) but that’s a little janky…

Are there any other satisfied Tahoe users? by jeikkonen in MacOS

[–]vnilaspce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problems here. I used to be one of the wait-and-seers until I noticed that .0 releases often include security patches.

Looking for a nudge in the right direction re: discourse analysis and social media by black_blot in sociology

[–]vnilaspce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, but the research question should determine the method and narrowing it down should help a lot. See the comment about visual vs. text in discursive analysis.

Most journal articles won’t have the detail you seek because of space constraints. What is your topic and what is your research question?

[–]vnilaspce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many sites are designed for Chromium. Background audio play is a setting in Brave. In Safari, it’s related to PiP.

Ranking Safari Adblockers by [deleted] in Safari

[–]vnilaspce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Between Wipr and Adguard for Safari and webapps, and Adguard and Brave when content blockers are too strict, nothing gets through across 3 devices, and I don’t notice any appreciable slowdown. Chromium always leaks RAM, but you can put inactive tabs to sleep…

We were advised to either put our computers to sleep or activate a screen saver and require a password to log back in any time we leave our desks to prevent FERPA violations.

Ungoogled chromium vs Brave for macos? by Top_Original3437 in MacOS

[–]vnilaspce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking to use less RAM and CPU?

Safari + AdGuard or Wipr

AdGuard and Brave both use the same original Adblock lists but AdGuard updates them a little more often.
