  • This son of a bitch decided not to run for reelection right when I was gonna vote against him in a primary as a freshly minted WV voter. He can fuck right off for the rest of eternity. Was a sleazy fucking scumbag. What an absolute and total tool. I'd call him a spineless weasel but that imagery would evoke sympathy in anyone who knows how cute weasels are. I wish him sand in his urethra. I wish him glass in his anus. I wish him lockjaw and a diet if milkshakes made out of onions.

  • Don't even have to imagine. IBM made those into the early 90s. My family had one

  • I'd assume a sponsored post on a Lemmy community would just be a pinned post that a mod got money for

  • 100%. We all play the game because if we don't we die. The metaphor you see all the time is that the reason were all swimming in this sea of capitalism is because if we don't we drown. Our participation is not representative of consent I don't really know what we do in the short and medium term but long term we need to kill capitalism

  • Do you have an open community space nearby? Maybe you could grab some crappy instruments from reverb and invite walk-ons to just join in. I've been surprised in the past how much people who complain about something end up liking the thing they complain about once invited to join in

  • Realize that all forms of currency are ultimately a grift to allow a class of violent weirdos to claim ownership over the fruits of our labor and that we could actually just share things with each other without commerce

  • Yes! Zsh-syntax-highlighting is a starting point to look at. You can also use fish shell

  • I've been thinking lately about the industrialization of music. Used to be before the gramophone you'd play music in your house. Sometimes you'd be bad. And everyone was fine with it. We just did it to enjoy it. Sometimes you and your neighbors would go to that one barn everyone was gathering in where the best musicians in town would play. They were your neighbors and friends. But now we don't know our musicians. We don't make music. We just consume it. I think we need to reclaim music. I think everyone should download DAWs and just... Fucking... Suck. And share their suck with friends and family. What you produce doesn't have to be polished, or good, it just needs to be tour own.

  • That really struck a chord. It was probably A Minor

  • Right? I've been training myself to use this one weird browser feature I hardly ever use called "bookmarks." Shits wild

  • I had to install a plugin to just close tabs I hadn't viewed in a while. I'm certainly not going to develop better tab discipline

  • OH! Got it! Thank you! I was legitimately just like "is this new lingo I don't know"

  • It drains battery on fresh installs for me. I just don't bother. I don't really see the appeal of chrome tbh. Obviously I have to use it occasionally since google content locks shit and so do employers, but there's like... No real reason I'd use it as a daily driver. For my use cases and hardware its just plain worse

  • Oh for sure. Even the other traditional way of doing windows installs (finding an EXE or MSI and then downloading it) sucks ass. The only good way to do things on windows is with Choco lol

  • Filly? What does that mean in this context?

  • And remember kids. Buy your pixel second hand

  • I'm in a position to call him a groomer. I feel comfortable saying straight up he's a sex pest. There's credible allegations all over the place. What I can't speak to, and I have to implore you to look into, is that many black people in America consider him a cultural appropriator based on his adoption of vernacular and accent that aren't his own.

  • This presumes vim itself isn't already a cult. In fact... I don't think you're pure of thought enough yet. Go write a new statusline and don't get back to me until you're fully satisfied with it

  • Also Rowling's argument is intrinsically conservative. "We fought hard for these rights. Giving these same rights to others erodes them"

    Its literally viewing treating people as equals as a zero sum game. It's viewing liberty not as the freedom to live without interference from outside forces, but instead as existing in a privileged position over others

  • Yes. Also plus eye candy with hyprland. Sway is the i3 experience on Wayland. The official roadmap for i3 is to fall into obscurity as Xorg goes away. They explicitly call out that other things exist for Wayland and adjusting i3 would distract resources from those projects
