Who told you not to trust anything China says?

My inherent distrust of authorities?

I use it to contol my OS, of course!

My superkey controls my OS (window-manager, music, launcher, brightness, etc).

My alt-key controls my tmux and browser

My ctrl-key controls the app (vim/bash/mpd)

Totally! I keep hearing about the “death of RSS”, and yet, that’s how I follow most of my online media.

There are plenty of weird blogs, just look up The Small Web. There are less weird blogs that make money, but I can’t say that I’m overly sad about that.

The headline is a little misleading: This isn’t really about small blogs, but more about how Private Equity harvests smaller companies, and leaves their husks to rot. That is a very legitimate problem that needs some serious solutions.

Starting small and going slow is totally fine. Maybe you will level up to scripting and whatnot, maybe you won’t. What I think matters is having fun, learning, and getting things done.

Then you document it by putting those commands into a text file. Then you learn that you can script it it by making that text file a script. Then you learn that you can make it more automated by doing for-loops. Then you learn that you can automate more by adding a few variables. Then you realise how far you’ve come.

I remember a meeting at a previous company where they announced that they were going to start hiring people in India. “They aren’t going to replace you, they are going to help you!”

They know what they want AI for: To have a cheap, disposable labor force

I’ve been thinking about using this to replace my self-hosted docker repo. Does anyone know how well this works with hosting a docker repo?

If you have to vote between a candidate who wants to build 5 concentration camps and another candidate who wants to build one. You vote for the candidate that only wants to build only one concentration camp.

Well it’s a good thing that we didn’t have that binary choice then. My ballot had a few options, some of them even opposing concentration camps, so I got to vote against them.

OK, that’s weird. Your comment works for me, but when I tried updating my comment to that syntax, it didn’t work.

I’ll play around with it and see if maybe I just typo’d and need more coffee or something.

Is it not hidden? I’m on a pie-fed instance, and it works fine for me.

I’m not sure that you’re gonna find “The Answer” that you want on here, but this is my attempt: Vote for someone that isn’t the lesser evil. Self Organize on a local level. Fight fascist supporters even when they pretend to be the good guys. Unionize.

There’s a scene in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Way_to_a_Small%2C_Angry_Planet where they are worried that something like that might happen.

So it’s fair to say that the Democrats won’t sue to keep other leftist parties off the ballot? They’ll back leftist candidates even when it’s not their “chosen” candidate? They’ll actually oppose fascism rather than continue to pave the way for the facists? That they won’t keep pushing more funding to facist policies and systems, and will actually dismantle the facists’ tools?

Because I continuously see them do the opposite of those things.

which is currently the only other actual option in our political system

Premise: false

Isn’t it weird how continuing to do the things that got us here, isn’t fixing the problems that were created? I wonder why that could be. I guess we’ll never know.

…yes voting for the lesser evil is not the best option it’s still better than just letting the evil evil win.

Who said that we should just let the evil win? I don’t see that anywhere.

It’s so weird to me how many people accept the binary that’s been handed to them. As though the ones that hand you that choice would ever let one of the options be to your advantage.

It’s rare for me, but yeah, it does happen. I usually try Epic Games Launcher, Lutris, then Steam. If it doesn’t work with any of those, I ask for my money back.

No, the problem is Neoliberalism. The Dems that you listed aren’t the outcasts of the party, they are the goal of the party. Their entire purpose is to absorb the rage of leftists into thinking that one of the two parties is actually fighting for the people.

ITT: People pretend that Democrats give a shit about democracy, or what their voters want.
